 1 4. General Description Wyreless Access TM is a wireless access control peripheral system.  Simply, it allows a panel to control a remote door without any wiring from the panel to the door or any wiring at or around the door.  The system consists of two components:  a Door Control Module Interface (DCMI) and an Integrated Reader Lock (IRL). It communicates using 900 MHz RF Spread Spectrum Technology. An Accessory Kit is also provided.  4.1 Components of the Wyreless Access System 4.1.1 Door Control Module Interface (DCMI) The DCMI includes (1) an RF receiver and transmitter (transceiver) to communicate with an IRL and (2) an interface to an access control panel.  The DCMI will interface with any access panel using either Magstripe (clock & data) or Wiegand (data1/data 0) compatible inputs.    One DCMI is capable of controlling two IRLs.  A Door Control Module Interface–Expanded (DCMIE), capable of controlling four IRLs, is also available.  4.1.2 Integrated Reader Lock (IRL) The IRL includes 7 components: an electrical lock plus reader, power supply, optional door position contacts and Request-to-Exit sensor.  It also includes an RF receiver and transmitter (transceiver).  The IRL mounts on a standard cylindrical-cut door (IRLs for mortise-cut doors will be available soon).    4.1.3 Accessory Kit The Accessory Kit contains a portable doorjamb with the IRL mounted on it.  This will not be provided in the production version.  The Kit also includes two battery packs of four AA alkaline batteries and one connector each. A single battery pack of eight AA alkaline batteries and one connector will be provided in production versions. A Battery Override Cable, 9VBOC, will also be supplied.  4.2 Operating Options The pre-production system operates in two ways:  Stand-Alone Operation or Panel-Connected Operation.    4.2.1 Stand-Alone Operation Stand-Alone involves only the IRL and DCMI.  In Stand-Alone, the IRL transmits a Request-to-Unlock after a card swipe.  The DCMI receives this request then transmits back an unlock command.   This mode is intended for evaluating basic communications performance levels.
 2 4.2.2 Panel-Connected Operation Panel Connected Operation requires connection to an access control panel with Magstripe (clock & data) or Wiegand (data1-data0) protocol.   After a card swipe, the IRL transmits a Request-to-Unlock. The DCMI receives this request and communicates it to the panel via wires.  When the panel responds with an unlock command, the DCMI receives the command via wires and transmits it to the IRL via RF.  4.3 Card Swipe Pre-production units have Magstripe readers.  Wiegand & Prox readers will be available. Manual Card Swipe is required for either Stand-Alone or Panel-Connected Operation.  The user must swipe a card to begin a transmission.  Only when a card has been swiped will the IRL transmit a Request-to-Unlock. In Stand Alone mode, a mag stripe card with Track 2 data will be needed to transmit a valid Request-to-Unlock.  In Panel-Connected mode, a valid card must be used to result in a valid Request-to-Unlock, like normal.   5.

 3 6. DCMI PCB Functional Components   As previously stated, the DCMI is capable of controlling two IRLs.  The components on the left side of the DCMI PCB will be designated for IRL A while components on the right will be designated for IRL B.  The following text describes the functions of the PCB components - Figure 1.   Note – All headers (male terminal pin strips) will have terminal blocks attached.  6.1 8-Pin Headers There are two 8-pin headers, one for each door.  The left 8-pin header is marked J3, and the right, J4.  (J3 applies to IRL A; J4 applies to IRL B.)  The 8-pin header provides either 1) the connections to a panel for Panel Operation or 2) the two pins (noted as Strike and Ground) needed to be connected together in order for the DCMI to function in Stand-Alone Operation. Figure 1 notes the function of each pin on the 8-pin header.   6.2 Tactile Switches Two tactile switches (S1 and S2) are located on the DCMI PCB.  Again, the tactile switch on the left (S1) applies to IRL A, and the tactile switch on the right (S2) applies to IRL B.  The tactile switch is used to put the DCMI into Link Mode.    When the DCMI is in Link Mode, it is in receive mode, waiting for the first link request transmission from an IRL in order to link the IRL and DCMI so that the system can be operated.  The switch can also be used to take the DCMI out of Link Mode.  More detailed information on Link Mode follows in section 14, Link Mode.  6.3 2-Pin Header One 2-pin header (J1) is located to the left of the 8-pin header (J4).   The 2-pin header is always the connection to the panel power in either the Stand-Alone Mode or the Panel-Connected Mode.  Plus is left pin, negative is right pin.  6.4 3-Pin Header One 3-pin header (J6) is located to the right of the 8-pin header (J3).   This is for a future RS 485 interface to a control panel and for local troubleshooting and configuration.  The left pin is ground, the center pin is A, and the right pin is B.
 4 6.5 4-Switch Dipswitch There is one 4-pole dipswitch (SW7).  The dipswitch determines the RF channel to be used.  As there is only one dipswitch, doors A and B will communicate on the same RF channel.    6.6 LEDs  The following describes the seven LEDs and the messages they convey. 6.6.1 Green LED, CR15, when blinking, indicates the microprocessor is running and power is on. Note:  If the power is off, CR15 may still be blinking but the microprocessor is not running. 6.6.2 Red LEDs, CR10 and CR7, indicate Trouble at its respective IRL such as Low Battery, Tamper, No Communication. 6.6.3 CR9 and CR6 are dual green and red LEDs. Each indicates either  Link Mode or Standby Mode for its respective IRL.  When in Link Mode, the green and red LEDs flash alternately.  When in Standby Mode, the green LEDs illuminate continuously. 6.6.4 Green and red LEDs, CR9 and CR6, also indicate RF communication.  The red LED will flash once per sent transmission.  The green LED flashes once per received transmission.  See Section 18, Understanding the IRL’s LED Indicators and Internal Sounder.  7.

It fits into the top center of the battery cover and screws into the Torx boss. Note:  This requires a Torx security screwdriver (size T9).  8.2 Battery Wire Harness The Battery Wire Harness is located in the battery compartment.  It is the wire harness that has two, 2-position connectors at the end.  These connectors connect to the Battery Packs that supply power to the IRL.  8.3 Programming Wire Harness The Programming Wire Harness is located in the battery compartment.  It is the wire harness with the RJ11 (6 pin, 6 wire) connector.  The Programming Wire Harness connects the IRL PCB through any programming module to any computer via the serial data port.  When the Programming Wire Harness is connected, new software versions can be loaded into the flash memory.  Instructions will be provided when needed.

 7 11. DCMI Setup for Stand-Alone Mode   11.1 Stand-Alone Mode, DCMI Simulates a Panel So that the system can be tested and evaluated without a panel, the presence of a panel must be simulated.  Wiring a jumper between the Strike and Ground (top two) pins of each 8 position terminal block (on headers J3 & J4) on the DCMI PCB will simulate a panel. See Figure 5.     Proper jumper wiring of J4 for simulating a panel, J3 is the mirror image. Figure 5  11.2 Power to the DCMI in Stand-Alone Mode 11.2.1     Locate the 2-pin header (J1) (to the left of the 8-pin header, J4). 11.2.2    Plug the 2-position terminal block, header (J1) as shown.  See Figure 6.   CAUTION:  The voltage polarity cannot be reversed w/o damage to the unit.  11.2.3     Connect the panel 12 VDC supply to J1. 11.2.4    The microprocessor LED (CR15) will blink green and the Link                         Mode/Standby LEDs (CR9 & CR6) will illuminate solid green.         !

 9   13. RF Channel Selection The procedure to select and/or change the RF Channel is the same for both Stand-Alone and Panel-Connected Modes.  13.1 Communications Overview The Wyreless Access system communicates on one of 15 RF Channels.  Channels range between 902 and 928 MHz, separated by about 2 MHz.  The system is shipped with the default RF Channel 8 pre-selected but not linked.  Once linked, the system will operate indefinitely on that channel.   It is not necessary to change the RF Channel.  However, for evaluation purposes, any or all of the 15 channels in the system may be tested.    13.2 How to Set to an RF Channel Note that there are four switches on the Dipswitch (SW7), numbered 1-4, left to right. See chart below and Figure 7. Numbers are indicated on the Dipswitch below the corresponding switch. The left switch (1) has a binary value of eight; the next switch (2) has a binary value of four; the third switch (3) has a value of two; the fourth switch (4) has a value of one.  The RF Channel then becomes the sum of the values of the various switches in the down position.  (If the switch is in the up position, its value is zero. If the switch is down, its value corresponds with its binary value.)    VALUE 0 0 0  0 UP VALUE 8 4 2  1 DOWN SWITCH 1 2 3  4    For example, if RF Channel 8 is selected, the position of switch 1 is down; the position of switch 2 is up; 3 is up; 4 is up.    Note:  The configurations for Channels 0 and 1 will both select Channel 1.
 10  Figure 7  Using an object with a fine point (a ballpoint pen or similar is adequate)   set the positions of the four switches for the desired RF Channel.  When the DCMI has power and the RF Channel has been set, the DCMI is ready to enter Link Mode.  14. Link Mode   14.1 Linking Linking is the process that ties a DCMI to an IRL by assigning a unique address to the pair.  14.2 Link Process Link Mode allows an IRL and a DCMI to link.  When in Link Mode, the DCMI is in its receive mode awaiting a link request from an IRL. The IRL initiates linking by sending this first link request when the IRL Battery Pack is connected.  When a DCMI in the Link Mode receives a link request, the DCMI automatically assigns an address randomly to itself and transmits it to the IRL.  When the two have the same address they are then linked together.  Since this address is unique to both components, other IRLs and DCMIs are prevented from communicating with them.      Once the DCMI and the IRL are linked, The DCMI and the IRL then can communicate using the assigned address.    14.3 How to put the DCMI into Link Mode  14.3.1 Verify that the DCMI is powered (CR 9 and CR6 are lit solid green) and that the microprocessor is running (CR15 LED is blinking green). 14.3.2 Once the RF Channel has been set (Section 13.2), press the Tactile Switch (S1 for IRL A or S2 for IRL B). 14.3.3    The corresponding LEDs (CR9 for S1; CR6 for S2) will alternately flash red and green.  The DCMI is now in Link Mode. UP DOWN  SWITCH #
 11 The DCMI remains in Link Mode until it receives a link request from an IRL or for thirty minutes, whichever comes first.    To abort Link Mode and return the DCMI to Standby, press the same switch.  Standby is indicated when the corresponding LED (CR9 or CR6) blinks green.  When the DCMI is powered, the RF Channel is selected, and the DCMI is in Link Mode, the system is ready for the IRL to initiate linking.   15. IRL Linking to the DCMI via Battery Connection  15.1 Overview When the battery pack is connected, the IRL will attempt up to three transmissions to link properly.  This process is made apparent by a series of beeps and LED flashes from the IRL.  See Section 18.  15.2 Connect the IRL Battery Pack to Initiate Linking to the DCMI 15.2.1 Verify the DCMI is in Link Mode (LED CR9 or CR6 flashes, alternating red and green). 15.2.2 On the IRL, make sure the Battery Wire Harness is accessible in the Battery Compartment.  The Battery Wire Harness has two, 2-position connectors at the end.  (See Figure 3.) 15.2.3 Connect the two connectors on the Battery Wire Harness to the two connectors on the Battery Pack as shown in Fig. 8.  15.2.4 The IRL is now powered. 15.2.5 Once powered, the IRL initiates linking by transmitting a link request. 15.2.6 When linking is completed successfully, CR9or CR6 turns solid     green. 15.2.7      The Battery Cover can be closed and secured with the Torx      screw.  (See Figure 9.)
 12   Figure 8           Figure 9  16.  When and How to Change the RF Channel The RF Channel may be changed for evaluation purposes or if the system encounters interfering transmissions.  When the system encounters interference (most noticeably when the system attempts to link and cannot or Requests-to-Enter fail), the RF Channel should be changed to alleviate this condition.  To change the RF Channel after the system is linked, the IRL battery must be disconnected.  Then the positions of the switches on the DCMI dipswitch (SW7) should be changed to the new desired channel.  Push the Link Mode Switch on the DCMI.  After reconnecting the battery pack, the IRL should be re-linked to the DCMI on the new channel.    If the IRL and the DCMI do not re-link on the new frequency, the IRL will revert to the RF Channel it was set at prior to disconnecting the Battery Pack.    17. Understanding the DCMI’s LED Indicators   Seven LED’s are on the PCB.  They are CR15 Green, CR7 and CR10 Red, CR6    and CR9 both Green and Red.  Action DCMI  LED Indication  CR15 Grn   CR7, 10 Red CR6, 9 Grn-Red Normal, Micro P running, Power applied Blinking Off Constant GRN Micro P not running, Power may be on or off Off Off Constant GRN Trouble signal:             Low Battery                       No Communication    Tamper, reader door   Tamper, DCMI door Blinking  one blink, pause two blinks, pause three blinks, pause four blinks, pause                                   Constant GRN Link Mode Blinking Off Alternately flash GRN/RED Torx Screw
 13        Transmitting a message Blinking Off 1 RED flash per transmission Receiving a message Blinking Off Blinks Off momentarily   18. Understanding the IRL’s LED Indicators and Internal Sounder  The IRL LED is on the front of the Magstripe and Wiegand Reader housings (See Figure 2) or on the top of the PROX housing.  18.1 Every time the battery packs are connected to the IRL, the IRL’s LED and sounder indicate that it is powered.  The red LED flashes once, followed by multiple green LED flashes (four on the pre-production units) signifying the software version and one red LED flash signifying the lock motor has been driven to the locked position. This is accompanied by a beep.    18.2 When the IRL sends its first transmission (Link request), the LEDs indicate this as well.  The green LED flashes once followed by one red LED flash.  The LEDs flash in this sequence three times or until a link to a DCMI is established whichever comes first.    18.3 When the IRL links successfully to a DCMI, the IRL indicates the RF Channel on which it is linked.  The green LED flashes and the Internal Sounder beeps according to the RF Channel number.  For example, if linking has been successful on RF Channel 8, the green LED flashes and the Internal Sounder beeps eight times.  18.4 If, after 3 transmissions, the IRL does not link to a DCMI, the red LED flashes twice accompanied by a single long beep.  The IRL reverts to its previous channel and address before the power was disconnected.    See chart below for “card swiped & read”, “swiped and not read”, “door unlock/relock” and “access denied” signals.  The following chart outlines the IRL LEDs and Internal Sounder indications.   Action LED Indication IRL Sounder Indication  1 IRL is powered 1 Red LED flash; 4 Green LED flashes; 1 Red LED flash No beep No beep 1 beep  2 IRL sends a link request (up to 3 transmissions, until it is linked) 1 Green LED flash; 1 Red LED flash each of 3 transmissions  No beep
 14  3 IRL linked successfully and announces the RF Channel on which it is linked Green LED flashes (number equal to the RF Channel) Beeps (number equal to the RF Channel) 4 IRL not linked successfully 2 Red LED flashes 1 long beep  Card swipe, not read None None  Card swiped and read None 1 beep  Followed by: 5 No communications 1 Red flash None  Door unlock 1 GRN flash None  Access denied 2 RED flashes 1 beep  Door relocks 1 RED flash 1 beep    Mag stripe, Wiegand and Prox readers will use the same LED/beep indicators.  19. Operating the Wyreless Access System  19.1 Overview Once the IRL and the DCMI are linked, the Wireless Access system is ready to be operated.  A card swipe is required to operate the system.  When a card is swiped the IRL transmits a Request-to-Unlock.    A valid card must be used for a successful Request-to-Unlock.  In Stand-Alone Operation, a valid card is any magnetic stripe card with Track 2 data (ATM cards, credit cards, etc.).  In Panel-Connected Operation, a valid card is a mag stripe card that has been validated by the access control panel.  In Stand-Alone Operation, the DCMI receives this transmitted request and will validate the card. Once validated, the DCMI will transmit a signal to the IRL to unlock.  The IRL will unlock and then relock.    In Panel-Connected Operation, the DCMI receives the transmitted Request-to-Unlock from the IRL and then forwards the request to the control panel.  If the card used is validated, the control panel will signal back to the DCMI a command to unlock.  The DCMI then transmits the unlock command to the IRL.  The IRL will unlock and then re-lock.  19.2 Card Swiping   NOTE:     One aspect of the Wyreless Access Pre-Production System that will change in production units is the Magstripe reader.  The Magstripe reader head was inadvertently placed on the wrong side of the Magstripe reader.   !
 15 Cards need to be swiped in reverse. Normally, the front of the card would face the left side (Figure 10) and the magnetic stripe would be read on the right.  But on this unit, cards should be swiped with the front of the card facing the right and the magnetic stripe facing the left.  (Figure 11.)   The reader head will be correctly oriented in the production version.    Insert the card with the magnetic stripe on the left (Figure 11) and then slide it down keeping the back edge of the card firmly against the back of the reader’s slot throughout the entire swipe.   Figure 10   Figure 11    19.3 Indications of a Successful Card Swipe Whenever a card is swiped and at least 8 bits of information are read from the card, a beep is sounded and the IRL transmits a Request to unlock.    A successful card swipe does not always result in an unlock.  More than 8 bits are needed for a valid unlock request. So all required bits must be read. A beep may be given because 8 bits are read, but more bits are needed for an unlock. If an invalid card is swiped correctly, the system will relay the information but the door will remain locked.    19.4 Indication of an Unsuccessful Card Swipe The best indication of an unsuccessful card swipe is when the IRL Internal Sounder does not beep after a card swipe.  Most likely, the card was cocked or not swiped with its back edge against the reader slot back for the entire swipe. It should be swiped again.  19.5 Indications of a Successful Request-to-Unlock (Card Swipe) The indication of a successful Request-to-Unlock is when the IRL unlocks.   Mag stripe Card must be swiped in this orientation
 16  Approximately one second after a valid card swipe, the IRL green LED will flash once and the IRL will unlock.   [Requests to unlock are .sent 3 times The DCMI LED, CR6 or CR9, indicates when it is receiving the Request to unlock from the IRL by turning off momentarily (looks like a flicker).  The DCMI will transmit an acknowledgement to the IRL that it received the transmission and sends the data to the panel. After that the IRL re-queries up to 5 times to inquire if there is a response from the panel to unlock the door. Once the DCMI receives a response from the panel it transmits it back to the IRL in response to one of the IRL re-queries. The DCMI LED will flash red once for every time it sends a response to the IRL then reverts to solid green. The IRL transmits its request up to three times or until it is validated by the panel.]  Relock Relock time is configurable from 1 to 255 seconds. After the preset time has elapsed, the IRL relocks and the red LED will flash once and the Internal Sounder will beep once.  19.6 Indications of an Unsuccessful Request-to-Unlock (Card Swipe) The best indication of an unsuccessful Request-to-Unlock is when the IRL remains locked.  However, the IRL LED and Internal Sounder also indicates an unsuccessful Request-to-Unlock.  After an invalid card swipe (unsuccessful Request-to-Unlock), the IRL red LED flashes twice and the Internal Sounder beeps once.  The IRL remains locked.  In Panel-Connected Operation, after an unsuccessful Request-to-Unlock, the panel should indicate one of two reasons why the request was unsuccessful.  One is a Denied Request where the card used was a recognized card but without the authority to unlock the specific door or without the authority to unlock the specific door at that specific time.  The other is an Unrecognized Card where the card used was an invalid and unrecognizable card (i.e., not part of the system).  20.  Other Software Features • Senses and reports door position to the panel. • Periodically reports to panel for “Housekeeping” updates – ¼, ½, 1, 2, 5 or 15 minutes intervals, configurable.  Battery life is a function of this time period and number of card swipes. Request-to-Exit.

 18 24.  Troubleshooting The following chart outlines several symptoms and their common fix. If, after going through these instructions, the system is still experiencing difficulties, do not attempt to fix.  Contact Eric Gonzales at 630-762-4462 or Larry Brooks at 630-762-4471.   Symptom Cause Action The LED CR15 is not blinking and CR9 & CR6 do not illuminate solid green when power is supplied to the DCMI.  Power has not been supplied correctly or the microprocessor is not functioning. Check the polarity of the panel supply. If wrong the fuse must be replaced. Replace with a 3/8 A, 250V, 2AG, fast acting fuse. The polarity of the panel power supply is correct and the symptom persists. See above. Check the voltage.  The voltage must be between 5.0 and 12.0 VDC. Do not exceed 13.2 volts. DCMI Symptoms The voltage is at or fewer than 13.2 volts and the symptom persists. See above. Contact Eric Gonzales at 630-762-4462 or Larry Brooks at 630-762-4471. The IRL LEDs do not flash and the Internal Sounder does not beep when power is applied to the IRL. The battery pack is not supplying power to the IRL. Check that the battery pack is new and has been connected properly. The battery pack is good and has been connected properly and the symptom persists. See above. Contact Eric Gonzales at 630-762-4462 or Larry Brooks at 630-762-4471. The IRL LEDS do not flash and the Internal Sounder does not beep to announce the RF Channel when attempting to link. The system is not linking properly. Check that the DCMI is properly in Link Mode before power is supplied to the IRL. The DCMI is properly in Link Mode and the symptom persists. See above. Contact Eric Gonzales at 630-762-4462 or Larry Brooks at 630-762-4471. The IRL does not unlock after a card swipe. The IRL and the DCMI are not communicating properly.  A valid card is used and the symptom persists. See above. If in Stand-Alone Operation, check that the terminal block has been attached properly.  If in Panel-Connected Operation, check that the wiring to the panel is correct. IRL Symptoms The card is valid and the terminal block is attached properly or panel connection is correct and the symptom persists. See above. Contact Eric Gonzales at 630-762-4462 or Larry Brooks at 630-762-4471.
 19 25. Other Installation Requirements The DCMI must be installed by qualified professional or contractors in accordance with FCC Part 15.203 indicated below.  Code of Federal Regulations Title 47 – Telecommunications Part 15.203 Antenna Requirement  An intentional radiator shall be designed to ensure that no antenna other than that furnished by the responsible party shall be used with the device.  The use of a permanently attached antenna or of an antenna that uses a unique coupling to the intentional radiator shall be considered sufficient to comply with the provisions of this section.  The manufacturer may design the unit so that a broken antenna can be replaced by the user, but the use of a standard antenna jack or electrical connector is prohibited.  This requirement does not apply to carrier current devices or to devices operated under the provisions of Sec. 15.211, Sec. 15.213, Sec. 15.217, Sec. 15.219, or Sec. 15.221.  Further, this requirement does not apply to intentional radiators that must be professionally installed, such as perimeter protection systems and some field disturbance sensors, or to other intentional radiators which, in accordance with Sec. 15.31(d), must be measured at the installation site.  However, the installer shall be responsible for ensuring that the proper antenna is employed so that the limits in this part are not exceeded.
