UniBus 2 Door Expander

Overview

The UniBus 2 Door / 2 Reader Expander (P/N: 996535) adds control and monitoring for 2 additional doors or readers to a compatible UniBus host module, such as the ILAM or IAC.

Technical Details

  • Capacity: 2 Doors / 2 Wiegand Readers per expander.
  • Host Compatibility:
  • Reader Support: Supports Wiegand readers up to 88bits. SIFER/OSDP readers are managed via the host module’s RS485 LAN port, not the expander.
  • Features: Individual self-resetting overcurrent protection (250mA) on reader outputs, heavy-duty lock relays, and DOTL outputs.
  • Physical Dimensions: 200mm (L) x 94mm (W) x 45mm (H).

Configuration / Programming

  • Connectivity: Connects via UniBus patch cable (up to 6 UniBus boards per host module, daisy-chain supported). Maximum combined UniBus cable length is 1620mm.
  • Firmware: Over-the-wire upgradable via host module. Requires Integriti Controller Firmware V3.0 or later.
  • DIP Switch (SW1): Switches 1-2 set the starting door numbers (only S1/S2 used for ILAM/IAC): | Doors | SW1.1 | SW1.2 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 1 & 2 | OFF | OFF | (Not used with ILAM or IAC) | | 3 & 4 | ON | OFF | | 5 & 6 | OFF | ON | | 7 & 8 | ON | ON |
  • Max Expanders: 3 UniBus 2-Door Expanders per host. Max 6 total UniBus boards.

Installation & Wiring

  • Lock Wiring: T1 provides the dedicated lock power input (Lock+/Lock- from external power-limited, fuse-protected supply). The external power supply must be fuse protected. A 1N4004 protection diode must be fitted as close as possible to the lock. T2 and T5 are the Lock 1 and Lock 2 relay outputs (NO/COM/NC). Heavy-duty Fig. 8 cable (24/0.20 or 14/0.20) recommended for all Power & Lock wiring.
  • Reader Voltage: Selectable via links LK3/LK4 (5V or 12V).
  • Zone Wiring: REED and TONGUE inputs require End-of-Line (EOL) resistors. REX and REN inputs can be configured to not require EOL via software (“Override EOL”).

Specifications

  • Power Supply Input: 11V to 14V DC via host module.
  • Current Consumption: 40mA idle. 110mA with both lock relays on (35mA per relay). 135mA with both Lock and DOTL relays on.
  • Lock Relays: 5 Amps @ 30V DC.
  • DOTL Relays: 1 Amp @ 30V DC.
  • Valid/Invalid Outputs: 100mA @ 13.75V DC (Open Collector).
  • Reader Overcurrent Protection: 250mA self-resetting (+VR1/+VR2).
  • Installation Environment: 0° to 70°C. 15-90% relative humidity (non-condensing).
  • EOL Resistor Scheme: Standard is 2k2/2k2 (Controller firmware V3.3.4+). 2k2/6k8 also supported. Firmware prior to V3.3.4 requires 6k8/2k2 for LAN Modules & UniBus boards.

Troubleshooting

  • LED Diagnostics:
    • L1 (UNIBUS): OFF = OK. Flashing = Getting Address. Solid ON = Address Clash or Too High — choose another address.
    • L2 (Fault): OFF = OK. Solid ON during normal operation = Fault detected. ON during bootup or firmware download = OK.
    • L3: Lock 1 relay ON indicator.
    • L4 (SYS): Flashing = Module is powered and firmware is running OK.
    • L5 & L6 (D0/D1): Data receive indication for onboard Reader inputs (active on reader data activity).
    • L7: Lock 2 relay ON indicator.
    • L12 (+VR1 Fault): ON = Reader 1 overcurrent fault indication.
    • L13 (+VR2 Fault): ON = Reader 2 overcurrent fault indication.

Reader Voltage Selection

Reader supply voltage is selected via links LK3 (Reader 1) and LK4 (Reader 2):

Reader TypeLK3/LK4
Omron Magnetic Swipe, HID ProxPoint/MiniProx/ThinLine/iClass R10/R15/R30/R40, HID Swipe/Insertion/Turnstile, Indala SlimLine/WallSwitch/PinProx/ValueProx5V
Inner Range Secure40 Prox, HID ProxPro/iClass R90/RKL55, Indala Standard/MidRange 610/MasterProx/LongRange 62012V
  • Note: Readers with wide supply voltage ranges (e.g. 4V–14V, 5V–16V) are recommended to be powered with 5V unless 12V is required for longer read range.
