Security Purpose Controller Grounding Requirements

Grounding Requirements
An effectively grounded product is one that is intentionally connected to earth ground through
a ground connection or connections of sufficiently low impedance and having sufficient
current-carrying capacity to prevent elevated voltages which may result in undue hazard to
connected equipment or to persons.
Grounding of the Security Expert system is done for three basic reasons:
1. Safety
2. Component protection
3. Noise reduction

Safety Grounding
The object of safety grounding is to ensure that all metalwork is at the same ground (or earth)
potential. Impedance between the Security Expert system and the building scheme ground
must conform to the requirements of national and local industrial safety regulations or
electrical codes. These will vary based on country, type of distribution system and other
factors. The integrity of all ground connections should be checked periodically.
General safety dictates that all metal parts are connected to earth with separate copper wire or
wires of the appropriate gauge.

Earth Ground Connection

The DIN rail enclosure and the DIN rail modules must be grounded to a suitable single-point
earth ground connection in the installation. A minimum 14AWG solid copper wire (or thicker, in
accordance with local authorities) shall be used from the Security Expert system's earth
connection points.
The DIN rail enclosure includes an earth ground single-point link connection via the metallic
enclosure. This single-point link is the Security Expert system's earth ground. All modules that
have earth ground connections and that are installed in the same enclosure shall be
connected to this single point. A single-point earth ground connection avoids the creation of
ground loops in the system and provides a single reference point to earth ground.

Security Purpose Controller Mounting

Mounting
Security Expert DIN rail modules are designed to mount on standard DIN rail either in
dedicated DIN cabinets or on generic DIN rail mounting strip.
When installing a DIN rail module, ensure that there is adequate clearance around all sides of
the device and that air flow to the vents of the unit is not restricted. It is recommended that you
install the module in a location that will facilitate easy access for wiring. It is also recommended
that the module is installed in an electrical room, communication equipment room, secure
cabinet, or in an accessible area of the ceiling.
1. Position the DIN rail module with the labeling in the correct orientation.
2. Hook the mounting tabs (opposite the tab clip) under the edge of the DIN rail.
3. Push the DIN rail module against the mount until the tab clips over the rail.

Removal
A Security Expert DIN rail module can be removed from the DIN rail mount using the following
steps:
1. Insert a flat blade screwdriver into the hole in the module tab clip.
2. Lever the tab outwards and rotate the unit off the DIN rail mount.

Power Requirements
Power is supplied to the controller by a 12V DC power supply connected to the N+ and N-
terminals. The controller does not contain internal regulation or isolation and any clean 12V
DC supply is suitable for this purpose.

Termination of wiring to the module while power is applied or the battery is connected may
cause serious damage to the unit and will VOID ALL WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES.
Power the unit only after all wiring, configuration and jumper settings are
completed.

A battery backup must be connected to the module network to provide a monitored supply.
The battery plays an important role in power conditioning and provides a continuous source of
power in the event of a power outage.
For UL applications, must be powered by a UL Listed (UL 603 or UL 294) power
limited power supply capable of supplying at least 4 hours of standby power.
For cUL applications, must be powered by a cUL Listed (CAN/ULC S318 or
CAN/ULC S319) power limited power supply capable of supplying at least 24
hours of standby power.

Security Purpose Controller Connections

Example 4A Power Supply Connection:

In a small installation this same power supply can be used to supply the module network as
well, so long as the maximum load of the power supply is not exceeded. In larger installations,
the power supply may need to be split to allow for load sharing between several supplies.

To comply with EN 50131-1 only one battery can be connected and monitored per system.
If more capacity is required a single larger battery must be used.

Example Multiple PSU Connection:

When using multiple power supplies it is important to ensure that all ground connections
(V-) are connected between all power supplies and that no power connections (V+) are
connected between any power supplies.

June 2024 13
Security Purpose Controller Connections

Auxiliary Outputs
The auxiliary outputs (V- V+) of the controller can be used to supply other equipment. Note that
there is no onboard regulation or isolation for these outputs; they are a fused feed-through
from the N+ N- input terminals. When using these outputs to supply other devices, be sure not
to exceed the rating of the internal fuses as outlined in the Technical Specifications.

Encrypted Module Network

The controller incorporates encrypted RS-485 communications technology. Connection of the
communications should be performed according to the following diagram.

nuisance alarms when the door is held open to permit longer entry.

When inputs are configured as bond sense and/or general purpose inputs
(access control and burglar installations), remaining inputs cannot be used for
fire.

Lock Output Connection

The controller provides relays on outputs 3 and 4. These are used for the Lock 1 (Output 3
CP001:03) and Lock 2 (Output 4 CP001:04) functions and are used to control electric door
strikes and other lock control devices.

June 2024 27
Security Purpose Controller Door Access Control

The 1N4007 diode is supplied for lock output connections and must be installed at the
electric strike terminals.

Warning: Relay outputs can switch to a maximum capacity of 7A. Exceeding 7A will
damage the output.

Programming the Onboard Reader

The onboard reader is programmed in exactly the same way as any other reader module. It
can be thought of as if it were a normal reader expander module on a separate circuit board.
By default the onboard reader is disabled. To enable it, configure the address at which you
want it to register using the Security Expert user interface. Note that any physical reader
expander module that is connected with the same address will be treated as a duplicate and
will fail to register, so care should be taken to ensure the address is unique.
The onboard reader uses inputs 1-4 and 5-8 as its door contact, REX, bond sense and REN
inputs respectively. Any inputs that are not configured for use with the onboard reader may be
used as general purpose inputs. If you wish to use an access control input as a general input,
you will need to disable the associated function input in the door programming section of the
Security Expert user interface.

REX and REN devices must be listed to UL 294 for UL installations and
CAN/ULC-S319 for cUL installations, and be compatible with the system.

Inputs
The controller has 8 onboard inputs for monitoring the state of devices such as magnetic
contacts, motion detectors and temperature sensors. Devices connected to the inputs can be
installed to a maximum distance of 300m (1000ft) from the module when using 22 AWG wire.
l Magnetic contacts shall be listed to UL 634 to comply with UL installation
standards and ULC/ORD-C634 to comply with cUL installation standards.
l Motion detectors and temperature sensors shall be listed to UL 639 to
comply with UL installation standards and ULC-S306 to comply with cUL
installation standards.
l The controller has been evaluated for UL 294, UL 1076, UL 1610, UL 1635,
CAN/ULC-S304, CAN/ULC-S319 and CAN/ULC-S559.
Inputs can be programmed using the Security Expert software. Inputs CP001:01 to CP001:08
represent the controller's onboard inputs. Additional inputs are supported through the use of
expansion modules.
The controller supports normally opened and normally closed configurations with or without
EOL resistors. When using an input with the EOL resistor configuration, the controller
generates an alarm condition when the state of an input changes between open and closed
and generates a tamper alarm condition when a wire fault (short circuit) or a cut wire
(tampered) in the line occurs. Inputs default to require the EOL resistor configuration.

Security Purpose Controller Outputs

Outputs
The controller has 7 onboard outputs. These outputs are used to activate bell sirens, lighting
circuits, door locks, relay accessory products and other automation points. The first output on
the controller has a special hardware design that allows it to monitor for fault conditions and is
ideally suited to driving sirens or warning devices.

Bell/Siren Output

Not investigated by UL/cUL for local burglary applications.

The + and - terminals of the bell output (CP001:01) are used to power bells, sirens or any
devices that require a steady voltage output. The bell output supplies 12VDC upon alarm and
supports one 30-watt siren. The bell output uses an electronically fused circuit and
automatically shuts down under fault conditions.

Connecting a Piezo siren may result in a dull noise being emitted. This is caused by residual
current from the monitoring circuit. To prevent this occurring, connect two 1K resistors in
parallel.

If the load on the bell terminals returns to normal, the controller reinstates power to the bell
terminals on the next transition of the output.
When the bell output is not used, the appropriate trouble input will be activated. This can be
avoided by connecting a 1K resistor (provided in the accessory bag) across the bell output. If
the bell is not being used for another function, and the trouble input is not programmed in the
system, a resistor is not required.

June 2024 35
Security Purpose Controller Outputs

Relay Outputs
The relay outputs (CP001:03 and CP001:04) on the controller are Form C relays with normally

Security Purpose Controller Hardware Configuration

Hardware Configuration
Configuring a Controller via the Web Interface
The controller's built-in web interface allows you to configure system communication and
security settings, including login, IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS settings, as well
as security certificates.
For information on using the controller's web interface to configure IP network and security
settings, see the Security Expert Security Purpose Controller Configuration Guide.

Setting the IP Address from a Keypad

If the current IP address of the controller is not known it can be viewed and changed using a
Security Expert keypad.
1. Connect the keypad to the module network.
2. Log in to the keypad using any valid installer code. The default installer code is 000000.
If the default code has been overridden and you do not know the new codes you will need
to default the controller (see Defaulting the Controller in this document) to reset the code.
Note that this will erase all existing programming as well as setting up the default
installer code.
3. Once logged in select Menu 4 (Install Menu) then Menu 2 (IP Menu) and view or edit the
IP address, network mask, and gateway as required.
Once the settings have been changed you must save the settings by pressing the [Arm] key.
You will be prompted to confirm the changes by pressing [Enter]. You must then restart the
controller, either through the menu [4], [2], [2] or by cycling the power, for the settings to
take effect.

June 2024 37
Security Purpose Controller Hardware Configuration

Temporarily Defaulting the IP Address

If the currently configured IP address is unknown it can be temporarily set to 192.168.111.222
so that you can connect to the web interface to view and/or change it. This will also temporarily
disable HTTPS security, which may help resolve some connection issues.

This defaults the IP address for as long as power is applied, but does not save the change
permanently. Once the link is removed and power is cycled to the unit the configured IP
address is used.

1. Remove power to the controller by disconnecting the 12V DC input.

2. Wait until the power indicator is off.
3. Connect a wire link between Reader 1 D0 input and Reader 1 L1 output.

5. When the controller starts up it will use the following temporary settings:
l IP Address: 192.168.111.222
l Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
l Gateway: 192.168.111.254
l DHCP: Disabled
l Use HTTPS: Disabled
6. Connect to the controller by entering http://192.168.111.222 into the address bar of your
web browser, and view or change the IP address and other network settings as required.
Remember to change the subnet of your PC or laptop to match the subnet of the

Security Purpose Controller Hardware Configuration

Defaulting a Controller
The controller can be factory defaulted, which resets all internal data and event information.
This allows you to remove all programming and start afresh.

Defaulting the controller resets the IP address to the factory default IP of 192.168.1.2

1. Remove power to the controller by disconnecting the 12V DC input.

2. Wait until the power indicator is off.
3. Connect a wire link between the Reader 2 D0 input and the Reader 2 L1 output.

4. Power up the controller. Wait for the status indicator to begin flashing steadily.
5. Remove the wire link before making any changes to the controller's configuration.
The system will now be defaulted with all programming and System Settings returned to
factory configuration, including resetting the IP address and all network configuration, and
removing all operator records.
l Defaulting the controller resets the IP address to the factory default IP of 192.168.1.2.
Earlier versions of the controller firmware do not reset the IP address. If the controller is
not available on 192.168.1.2 you will be able to connect to it via its previous IP address.
l Any configured system settings (e.g. Default Gateway, Event Server) are reset to their
default values.
l Any custom HTTPS certificates are removed and the default certificate is reinstalled.
Earlier versions of the controller do not have a default HTTPS certificate installed. If the
controller is not available via HTTPS, connect to it via HTTP.
l All operator records are removed and the admin operator must be recreated.
l All other programming is removed.

After Defaulting a Controller

Before making any changes to the controller's configuration or upgrading the firmware,
remove the wire link used to default the controller.

After defaulting a controller a number of essential steps will need to be performed to resume
normal operation. Not all of the following steps will necessarily be required, depending on your
site configuration:
1. Connect to the controller's web interface using HTTPS, unless it is an older controller with
no default certificate loaded, then it will connect using HTTP.
2. Recreate the admin operator and log in to the controller's web interface.
If you are not prompted to create the admin operator, the default username is admin with
the password admin.
3. Reset the controller's IP address to its previous value.
4. Reconfigure any additional network settings.

* The total combined current refers to the current that will be drawn from the external power
supply to supply the expander and any devices connected to its outputs. The auxiliary outputs
are directly connected via thermal resettable fuses to the N+ N- input terminals, and the
maximum current is governed by the trip level of these fuses. The Bell output is connected in
the same way.
** Each reader port supports either Wiegand or RS-485 reader operation, but not both at the
same time. If combining reader technologies, they must be connected on separate ports.

The size of conductor used for the supply of power to the unit should be adequate to prevent
voltage drop at the terminals of no more than 5% of the rated supply voltage.
Schneider Electric continually strives to increase the performance of its products. As a result
these specifications may change without notice. We recommend consulting our website

Intruder Detection Maintenance Routine

Schneider Electric recommends regular maintenance of the Security Expert system, including
Security Expert controllers, expander modules and other connected devices.
The periodic routine maintenance procedures outlined in this section accord with AS/NZS
standards for intruder detection systems:
l AS/NZS 2201.1-2007 SECTION 5 - MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
l AS/NZS 2201.1-2007 SECTION 5 - RECORDS AND REPORT
Copies of these standards are available from Standards New Zealand, and can be purchased
online from https://shop.standards.govt.nz.

Peripheral Devices
This section outlines specific routine maintenance procedures for Security Expert controllers
and expander modules which are used for intruder detection. It does not include specific
instructions for peripheral devices connected to the Security Expert system, such as motion
detectors, smoke detectors and warning devices. Although many of these peripheral devices
will be operated as part of the maintenance procedures described below, this may not meet
the routine maintenance procedures recommended for those devices.
As a minimum, we recommend that you follow the AS/NZS 2201.1-2007 standards relating to:
l Detection devices for internal use (AS/NZS 2201.3 Part 3)
l Audible and visible alarm and warning devices

Testing Frequency
The maintenance procedures outlined below meet the requirements of AS/NZS 2201.1-2007,
which specifies that testing of the intruder detection system must be carried out at least once a
year. However, the testing frequency of detection devices, alarm warning devices and
reporting operations should be determined according to the needs of the particular installation
and local body regulations.
For some clients or sites it may be prudent to perform more frequent testing to ensure the
integrity of the system. For example:
l Sites which require a higher rate of security or are heavily affected by environmental
conditions may choose to have testing carried out more frequently.
l Very large sites with hundreds of detection devices may prefer to arrange multiple testing
rounds per year, with a percentage of the devices tested in each round.
In contrast, sites where automated testing functions have been implemented may find that
annual maintenance visits are adequate.

EN50131
In order to comply with EN 50131-1 the following points should be noted:
l Ensure for Grade 3 or 4 compliant systems, the minimum PIN length is set for 6 digits.
l To comply with EN 50131-1 Engineer access must first be authorized by a user, therefore
Installer codes will only be accepted when the system is unset. If additional restriction is
required then Engineer access may be time limited to the first 30 seconds after the system
is unset.
l Reporting delay –Violation off the entry path during the entry delay countdown will trigger a
warning alarm. The warning alarm should not cause a main alarm signal and is not
reported at this time. It can be signaled locally, visually and or by internal siren type. If the
area is not disarmed within 30 seconds, the entry delay has expired or another instant
input is violated, the main alarm will be triggered and reported.
l To comply with EN 50131-1 neither Internals Only on Part Set Input Alarm nor Internals
Only on Part Set Tamper Alarm should be selected.
l To comply with EN 50131-1 Single Button Setting should not be selected.
l To comply with EN 50131-1 only one battery can be connected and monitored per system.
If more capacity is required a single larger battery must be used.
l For Security Grade 4 installations, two forms of reporting are required. This can be
satisfied using the onboard 2400bps modem included with the modem controller model, or
through the incorporation of the SP-4G-USB cellular modem module into the installation
with the non-modem controller model.
Anti Masking
To comply with EN 50131-1 Grade 3 or 4 for Anti Masking, detectors with a separate or
independent mask signal should be used and the mask output should be connected to another
input.
I.e. Use 2 inputs per detector. One input for alarm/tamper and one input for masking.
To comply with EN 50131-1:
l Do not fit more than 10 unpowered detectors per input,
l Do not fit more than one non-latching powered detector per input,
l Do not mix unpowered detectors and non-latching powered detectors on an input.
To comply with EN 50131-1 the Entry Timer should not be programmed to more than 45
seconds.
To comply with EN 50131-1 the Bell Cut-Off Time should be programmed between 02 and 15
minutes.
EN 50131-1 requires that detector activation LEDs shall only be enabled during Walk Test.
This is most conveniently achieved by using detectors with a Remote LED Disable input.
