Quick Start & Installation Guide Card Access, Inc.
Welcome and congratulations on your purchase of the Card Access Security Sensor Bridge. This Quick Start &
Installation Guide is an overview of configuring your Security Sensor Bridge with a Control4 System. This guide assumes
that you are a qualified and trained Control4 dealer.
*NOTICE: THE SECURITY SENSOR BRIDGE V2 IS INTENDED FOR HOME AUTOMATION PURPOSES ONLY. THIS
IS NOT A SECURITY SYSTEM.
Introduction
The Card Access Security Sensor Bridge is a device capable of receiving and interpreting signals from GE/ITI
sensors and integrating these signals with a Control4 System via the Control4 ZigBee wireless mesh. This device
gives the homeowner the ability to utilize the wide range of GE sensors available as accessories to the Control4
system.
The device consists of a self-contained, wall-mountable bridge in a plastic enclosure. It is powered by a 12V DC
adapter.
Specifications
ZGB20 Specifications
Dimensions 6.75” x 4.5” x 1.5” (excluding antennas)
Weight 0.5 Lbs (0.23Kg)
Maximum Ambient Operational
Temperature 140°F (60°C)
Power Input 12VDC, 100mA
Operational Environment Type 1 Device shall be mounted in a dry, moisture-protected location.
Site Requirements and Wiring Options
•
Allow at least 10 inches of clearance above the enclosure for the antennas.
•
Avoid mounting locations that expose the module to moisture.
•
Avoid areas with excessive metal or electrical wiring including furnace and utility rooms. If unavoidable,
mount on or near metal with the antenna extending above the metallic surfaces as shown in Figure 1.
•
Ensure that an electrical source is accessible for the DC power adaptor.
Figure 1 - Mounting on or near metal
Tools and Supplies Needed
To complete the installation, you will need the following tools and supplies:
•
Screwdrivers
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Quick Start & Installation Guide Card Access, Inc.
•
Drill with bits
•
Mounting screws and anchors (included)
Mounting
The bridge can be mounted on any interior wall
(protected from the elements) by following these steps:
1.
Remove the cover by pressing in the button on
the bottom of the enclosure and rocking the
cover outward.
2.
Hold the bridge base against the mounting
surface and mark the four (4) mounting holes
and two (2) wire access holes as shown in
Figure 2. Remember to leave at least 10 in. (25
cm) above the bridge for the antennas.
NOTE: The circuit board may be hinged out of the bridge base
plastics to gain better access to the mounting holes by pulling
outward on the retaining latch with a finger.
3.
Drill holes and insert the appropriate anchors.
4.
Use the wire access holes to route the wires
from the DC power supply (included) into the
bridge base.
5.
Secure the bridge base to the wall with the pan
head screws provided. Figure 2 – Bridge Base Plastics
Wiring
To wire the DC power supply to the bridge, do the following:
1. Remove AC power (if applied) to the included DC power supply.
2. Wire leads of DC power supply into terminal block on the lower right side of the board. Polarity of the
wires does not matter.
3. Install metal antennas into outer slots of terminal blocks at top of board.
4. Replace cover.
Control4 Software Installation / Operation Instructions
NOTE: The Card Access Security Sensor Bridge and GE Sensors use Control4
DriverWorks™ drivers, which are not included with Composer software. They must be
downloaded from the Card Access website and manually installed.
Download and Install Drivers:
1. Go to http://www.cardaccess-inc.com/automation/drivers
2. Download the drivers you will need to use in your project.
3. Copy them to the appropriate folder on the computer you will be using to configure the project, typically “My
Documents\control4\Drivers\”

Add the Security Sensor Bridge V2 (ZGB20) to your
Composer project:
1. In System Design view in Composer, select the ‘Card
Access ZGB20’ driver from the Search tab and drag it into
your project (see figure at right).
2. Identification is similar to other Control4 ZigBee devices:
Go to Connections view in Composer and choose the
‘Network’ tab. Find the Card Access Security Sensor
Bridge device in the device list and highlight it. Then click
the ‘Identify’ button at the top of the screen.
3. When prompted to identify the unit, press the ID button on
the Bridge by using a paper clip inserted through the small
hole located on the face of the Bridge. Press the button
four times in succession. The ‘BUS’ LED on the Security
Sensor Bridge will begin blinking as it attempts to join the
ZigBee mesh and identify into the Control4 project.
4. When the Security Sensor Bridge has successfully joined
the ZigBee mesh and identified, the address of the bridge
will appear in the identification window. Click the ‘Close’
button.
To add additional Security Sensor Bridges to your
Composer project:
1. When using two or more Security Sensor Bridges in the
project, you must first add one ZGB20 driver for the first
Security Sensor Bridge. Then, you will add one instance of
the Expansion Bridge driver (ZGB20-XP) for each
additional bridge.
2. Select the Card Access ZGB20-XP driver from the Search
tab. Add one instance of the Expansion Bridge driver for
each additional bridge you will use.
3. Identify each Expansion Bridge as specified in the ZGB20
instructions above. No bindings or connections to the
primary bridge are needed.
Add wireless sensors to the project:
1. In System Design view in Composer, select the appropriate wireless sensor driver from the Search tab
and drag it into your project.
2. Navigate to the Properties page of the wireless sensor by clicking on the newly added item on the left
pane of Composer. Note that you may need to click on another item and then back on the newly added
item to force Composer to display the Properties page for the device.
3. On the Properties page, replace the text ‘unassigned’ with the 6 or 7-digit TxID printed on the label on the
wireless sensor. Then click the ‘Set’ button.
4. Test the sensor by activating/deactivating the sensor’s input. You will see the sensor status populate on
the properties page as well as the wireless signal level of the sensor-to-bridge connection.
NOTE: Ensure that the Security Sensor Bridge driver is added to the project before adding individual
wireless sensors.

5. Select the generic proxy of your choice and at it to your project. Go to the Connections tab, and under
Control/AV, bind the output for the sensor to this proxy. DO NOT change the input bindings.
Diagnostic Indications
The Security Sensor Bridge has two LEDs which indicate its current operational state. During normal operation, these
LEDs will help to determine if the bridge is functioning properly. The tables below provide a brief summary of these LEDs:
BUS LED (top):
GREEN (solid)
Bridge is connected to Control4 automation system and operating
properly (ZigBee connection established, driver properly identified)
RED (solid)
ZigBee PRO: Bridge is not connected to the ZigBee mesh.
RED (short winks OFF)
ZigBee PRO: Bridge is connected to the ZigBee mesh but is not
communicating with the ZGB20 driver. Ensure bridge has been
identified into the system.
EmberNet: Bridge is not communicating with the ZGB20 driver.
Ensure bridge has been identified into the system.
RF LED (bottom):
GREEN (short winks ON)
