Resolution

Some Access Control Panels are designed with “Supervised” or “Dry contact” requirements for the inputs and have no common ground between the ACP (Access Control Panel) and device at the door. “Supervised” or “Dry contact” interfaces require a dry contact state change, like a relay or a switch closure, when monitoring activity at the opening. Access Control Panels that have “Supervised” or “Dry contact” interface inputs cannot read the outputs of the PIB300-TD2 and PIM400-TD2 without the use of a Relay Board (RLBD).



Schlage offers the “RLBD” to support these supervised or dry contact interface applications.

The "RLBD" plugs directly into the PIM400-TD2 or PIB300-TD2 for easy hook-up.

 



Please reference this Tehnical Note RLBD SES-20120418 for RLBD setup, use information, hook-up diagrams and some testing suggestions when connecting to a Supervised dry contact Access Control Panel.

Notes

The PIM400-TD2 and PIB300-TD2 access control panel interface logic can be converted from 5 volt signal communication to a “Supervised,” isolated “Dry Contact” relay communication with the use of the Schlage RLBD.

A “Supervised” or isolated “Dry/Contact” interface is expecting a floating relay closure connecting the line resistance as defined for some makes of Access Control Panels.

The RLBD is NOT needed for conventional Access Control Panels that accept logic level voltage inputs.

A RLBD is NEEDED if a PIM400-TD2/PIB300-TD2 is expected to interface with an Access Control Panel requiring “Supervised’ or “Dry Contact” signaling.
