1.3 Port Protection
Transorbs are provided with the controller ship kit. They are used to protect the controller from voltage spikes induced on
the port wiring by absorbing the excess voltage and slowly releasing it back into the circuit. Keri strongly recommends
wiring in the transorbs provided with the controller ship kit. Refer to the Transorb Wiring Diagram below.
NOTE: The Transorbs that Keri provides are non-polar; they can be installed in either orientation.
1.4 Isolation Relays
For locking devices that may induce heavy voltage spikes – Mag Locks and devices with heavy-duty solenoids such as
turnstiles, vehicle gates, and overhead doors – Keri recommends using isolation relays. Keri has an Isolation Relay Kit
(p/n IRP-1). Please refer to the IRP-1 Isolation Relay Installation Guide (p/n 01833-001) for detailed information.

2.0 Specifications
2.1 NXT-2D/-4D Dimensions
• NXT Controller PCB
- 6.50 inches high by 5.50 inches wide by 1.00 inch deep, not including wiring connectors
- 16.51 cm by 13.97 cm by 2.54 cm
• NXT Enclosure
- 13.00 inches high by 10.5 inches wide by 3.00 inches deep
- 33.02 cm by 26.67 cm by 7.62 cm
2.2 Linear Power Supply Requirements
• 10 to 14 VDC @ 2.5 A (maximum current draw for a fully loaded NXT-2D/-4D controller)
2.3 Current Requirements at 12 VDC
• 650 mA max for an NXT-4D Controller
• 570 mA max for an NXT-2D Controller
• 250 mA max for each NXT-4x4
• 120 mA max for each NXT-1R, NXT-3R, NXT-4R, or NXT-5R Reader
• 115 mA max for each NXT-6RK Reader
• 100 mA max for each NXT-RM Reader Interface Module
NOTE: Keri recommends using separate power supplies for the controller and the electronic locking device (magnetic
lock, door strike, etc.). Only linear power supplies or Keri approved switching power supplies should be used for the
controller (refer to the Recommended Peripherals document – p/n 01924-001). Use isolation relays (Keri p/n IRP-1)
between the controller and the electronic locking device to prevent spikes or surges from the locking device from affecting
the controller.
2.4 Relay Contact Rating
• 1 A @ 24 VDC
2.5 Operating Conditions
• 32°F to 150°F (0°C to 60°C) – 0% to 90% Relative Humidity, non-condensing
2.6 Battery/Memory Retention
• 5-year lithium battery backup to support controller RAM and real-time clock
2.7 Cable Options
RS-485 bus runs can daisy-chain together an NXT-4x4 and NXT-Reader on one line. The total cable run distance should
be no more than 500 feet from the NXT controller for runs with 4x4s and no more than 1,000 feet for Reader-only runs.
Refer to Table 2 on page 5 and Table 3 on page 5.
NOTE: Cable resistance causes a drop in voltage at the end of long cable runs. Ensure the appropriate power and current
for your device is available at the device at the end of the cable run. Heavier gauge cable reduces this effect.
NOTE: Keri does not recommend hot-plugging a Reader, RIM, or 4x4 into an NXT controller.
Remove power from the controller prior to connecting these devices.

b. Use the shortest possible path from earth ground point to PCB. Connect the earth ground only to the desig-
nated pin on the terminal block. This is important as all transient protection for the unit is made through this
earth ground connection. For unit protection, the earth ground connection should always be made first.

3.0 Resetting Controllers
Keri recommends resetting NXT controllers the first time these controllers are powered on. Also, under certain
circumstances NXT controllers may need to be reset.
NOTE: Resetting a standard NXT controller will restore the controller to a factory default state. It removes all network
configuration data assigned to the controller such as the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway address.
3.1 Reset a Standard NXT Controller
1. Remove power from the NXT controller.
2. Ensure a Jumper is across the J3 header (refer to the drawing on page 1). The Jumper can remain on J3 at all times.
3. Press the S1 switch and hold it down while applying power. Keep the button pressed until the Reset LED (D48) is lit.
This indicates the reset routine has begun. Once the LED is lit, the button can be released.
4. DO NOT REMOVE POWER FROM THE NXT CONTROLLER WHILE THE RESET LED IS LIT.
5. The Reset is complete when the Reset LED goes off.
3.2 Restore Configuration Information to a Reset Controller
1. In Doors.NET under Setup > Hardware Setup > Panels, click on the controller that was reset.
2. When the Communication field shows the controller is Online click the Update Network icon on the ribbon bar.
3. Click the Live Events tab and watch for the Update Network Completed event message. When this message is posted
the controller’s configuration information is restored.
