Mounting and Installation
Please refer to Southco trade drawing J-H3-EM-99-521 for mounting and
installation details.

screws. See Southco trade drawing J-H3-EM-99-521 for additional details.
Wiring Diagrams
The H3-EM-99-521 contains two separate functional modules: the actuator
module and RFID reader module. The actuator module controls and
monitors the locking function of the swinghandle. The RFID module reads
the contents of a compatible RFID card and converts it to Wiegand format.
These two modules operate independently of each other and require
connection to an access control unit (not provided), as illustrated below,
for the entire product to be fully functional.

Wiegand Data Output
125kHz Prox Cards
The RFID module will read the site and user codes from a compatible prox
card, and convert to Wiegand data format, including upper even parity (Pe)
and lower odd parity (Po) bits, as shown below.
13.56MHz RFID Cards
The RFID module will read the 4, 7, or 8 byte UID from a compatible RFID
card, and convert to Wiegand data format in reverse byte order, including
upper even parity (Pe) and lower odd parity (Po) bits, as shown below.
Control Input Signal
This signal is used to control the electronic lock slide position.
for UNLOCKED position: Supply 5VDC for at least 100
milliseconds. The lock will remain unlocked for as long as the
signal is present, or a minimum of 3 seconds. Signal timing can
typically be adjusted at the access control device. The control
signal current draw is less than 10mA.
for LOCKED position: Supply an open contact or 0VDC (0 to
0.5V)
Electronic Lock Status Output and Mechanical Lock Status Output
Signals
Electronic Lock Status Output Signal
This output will be LOW (GND) when the lock slide is electromechanically
moved to the unlocked position. It will be in the open collector state (high-
impedance) when in the locked position.
Mechanical Lock Status Output Signal
This output will be LOW (GND) when the handle is in the open position or
when the keylock in the actuator is manually unlocked. It will be in the
open collector state (high-impedance) when in the secured position.
NOTE: These outputs are open collector outputs rated for VSUPPLY with
a maximum load of 100mA. To avoid damage to the H3-EM, do not
exceed voltage and current ratings.

Status LED and Output Signals
The latch is equipped with a tri-color (blue/magenta/red) LED visible from
the front of the latch. This LED provides a visible notification of the latch
status. The different latch states are described below. Please refer to the
Control Input Signal, Electronic Lock Status Output Signal, and
Mechanical Lock Status Output Signal sections for further details on
these signals.
Secured
The latch is securely closed, prohibiting access.
The Status LED will be solid blue.
The electronic lock status output is at its open collector state.
The mechanical lock status output is at its open collector state.
“Secured” State
Electronically Released
The electronic lock slide is in the unlocked position and the handle can be
pulled open.
The Status LED will alternate flashing blue/magenta.
The electronic lock status output is 0V while the lock slide is in
the unlocked position.
The mechanical lock status output is at its open collector state.
“Electronically Released” State
Mechanically Released
The latch is released by opening the handle or moving the cam from its
lock position.
The Status LED will flash blue.
The electronic lock status output will be at its open collector state
if the electronic lock slide is in the locked position. It will be 0V if
the lock slide is in the unlocked position.
The mechanical lock status output is 0V.
NOTE: The lock sensor is an optical device that senses the presence
of the lock pawl. Reflectivity of the lock pawl material can affect sensing.
Use only Southco-supplied locks.
“Mechanically Released” State
Handle not Fully Closed
This is an interim state and may occur while closing the handle when the
cam is not secured by the electronic lock slide. The latch is not fully
secured during this state.
The Status LED will alternate flashing blue/red if the cam is not
detected. It will flash blue/red/red if the cam is detected, but the
lock plate is not in the right position. This could be due to
mechanical failure or tampering.
The electronic lock status output is 0V if the lock slide is in the
unlocked position. It will be at its open collector state if it is in the
lock position.
The mechanical lock status output is 0V if the cam is not
detected. It will be at its open collector state if it is detected.

Electronic Lock Slide Error
The electronic lock slide does not respond to the command input signal.
The Status LED will flash magenta if the latch is secured. It will
alternate flashing red/magenta if the latch is mechanically
released.
The electronic lock status output is at its open collector state.
The mechanical lock status output will be at its open collector
state if the cam is in its lock position. It will be 0V if the
mechanical key is moved from its lock position.
Error Input Command Sequence
The H3-EM can accept an input command from an external controller to
flash the status LED red three times. This feature can be used to indicate
that an error event has occurred (e.g. unauthorized access attempt).
The control input signal needs to meet the timing requirements shown
below to flash the status LED red.
