Openpath Access Control System Installation Guide
   GETTING STARTED

   This Installation Guide explains how to install and configure Openpath Smart Hubs (ACUs) and
   Openpath Smart Readers as part of an Openpath Access Control system.


   ADDITIONAL RESOURCES

   ●    Smart Reader Data Sheet
   ●    Smart Hub (ACU) Data Sheet
   ●    Elevator Board Data Sheet


   PRIOR TO INSTALLATION

   Prior to installing Openpath hardware, it is assumed that you have performed a customer site
   survey and have determined the following:

   ●    How many entries need to be configured (e.g. doors, gates, and/or elevator floors)
   ●    Whether you’re using legacy wiring or new wiring
   ●    What kind of electronic entry mechanisms, Request to Exit (REX) mechanisms, and door
        contact sensors will be used and their power requirements. If your locking hardware requires
        24V, either use the Smart Hub ACU with included 24V power supply (OP-4ESH-24V) or use a
        separate 24V supply.
            ○ NOTE:​ The Smart Hub ACU with 12V power supply (OP-4ESH-12V) supports up to 2A for
                 locking hardware.
   ●    Whether you’re providing backup batteries for the ACUs. See ​SELECTING A BACKUP BATTERY​.
   ●    Whether you’re supporting a legacy access control panel. See ​WIRING TO LEGACY PANELS​.


Installation
   NETWORK REQUIREMENTS

   An Ethernet connection with DHCP must be used to connect the ACU to the Local Area Network
   (LAN). You also need to configure firewall settings to communicate with the Openpath system.
   Openpath uses the following outbound ports:

   ●    TCP port 443
   ●    TCP port 80
   ●    UDP port 123



Version 1.5                                ©​ Openpath 2019                                   Page 3


   NOTE:​ If using an external DNS server, outbound UDP port 53 must also be open.
   To support Wi-Fi unlocking from the mobile app, the Smart Hub’s inbound TCP port 443 must be
   available from within the LAN. Inbound port forwarding on the router, firewall, or NAT device is not
   required.


   SELECTING A BACKUP BATTERY

   While not required, Openpath recommends having a backup battery in the case of power outages.
   The size of battery depends on your setup and how long you want to power the system.

                                  Table 1:​ Power requirements (12V)
                             Smart Hub ACU           1A

                             Smart Reader            0.25A

                             Locking hardware        0.25A–0.5A
                             (while engaged)


   Assuming a 12V power supply, a Smart Hub ACU configured with four Openpath readers and
   locking hardware uses 4 Amps. To keep the system running for 3 hours with all entries engaged,
   you’d need 4A x 3 hours = 12 AH, so a 12V 12AH sealed lead acid (SLA) or gel cell battery.

   NOTE:​ For a 24V power supply, you need two 12V SLA or gel cell batteries in series.


   MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

   For a UL Listed System, the Smart Hub ACU must be mounted in a LifeSafety Power E1 enclosure
   with an FPO75 supply.

   To mount the enclosure:
   1. (Optional) Remove the enclosure’s cover.
   2. Locate the top keyhole mounting holes in the back of the enclosure.
   3. Mark and pre-drill the locations for the keyholes in the mounting surface.
   4. Partially install two fasteners appropriate for the surface on which the enclosure is being
      installed. Leave the heads of the fasteners approximately ¼" out from the surface. Minimum
      fastener size should be #10 or larger.
   5. Hang the enclosure on the two fasteners and mark the locations of the remaining mounting
      holes.
   6. Remove the enclosure and pre-drill the locations for the remaining mounting holes.
   7. Re-hang the enclosure on the top mounting fasteners, install the remaining fasteners and
      tighten all fasteners.

   8. Reinstall the enclosure’s cover, if removed in step 1.


      WARNING:​ Only connect the Controller Board to 12V. Over voltage can damage the board.


   To install a standalone Controller Board with 24V locking hardware:
   If you purchased the Controller Board separately and are using 24V locking hardware, we
   recommend using the LifeSafety Power E1 enclosure, FPO75 power supply (or FPV4 power supply),
   B100 secondary power supply, and C4 power control module.

   1. Follow all LifeSafety Power instructions for installing the FPO75 (or FPV4), B100, and C4 in the
      enclosure.
   2. Mount the Controller Board using the provided back plate.
   3. Connect the B100 secondary supply to the Controller Board.
      IMPORTANT:​ Verify that the jumper on the B100 is set to 12V.
   4. Mount the enclosure as detailed above.

   RECOMMENDED CONFIGURATION

   Openpath readers and ACUs communicate via RS-485. The following wire types are compatible,
   listed in the order of preference which impacts distance.

   ●    Shielded CAT6A (recommended, additional two pairs can be used for sensors)
   ●    Shielded CAT6
   ●    Shielded RS485 w/22-24AWG (lower gauge, thicker wire is better)
   ●    Shielded CAT5
   ●    Unshielded CAT6
   ●    Unshielded CAT5
   ●    Shielded 22/6
   ●    Unshielded 22/6

   Ideally, use one twisted pair for GND and VIN (power) and one twisted pair for +B and -A (data).

   For shielded wiring, connect one side of the drain wire (the shield around the wires) to the GND
   terminal on the ACU. Both the shield and the GND wire can share the same GND terminal. Do not
   connect the other side of the shield to anything.

   For standard reader installation, we recommend that you install a 1-Gang 20 CU box in order to
   flush-mount the reader. Alternatively, the reader may also be surface mounted with the included
   back plate.

   NOTE: ​For elevators, all relays and readers must be connected to the same ACU. If you need more
   than four access controlled floors or readers, add the Openpath Elevator Expansion Module.

WIRING FAIL SAFE AND FAIL SECURE LOCKING HARDWARE

Fail safe and fail secure are ways of configuring locking hardware:
     ● Fail safe​ hardware ​unlocks​ when power is interrupted
     ● Fail secure​ hardware ​locks​ when power is interrupted

   WIRING TO LEGACY PANELS

   To support a legacy access control system, install the ACU between the Openpath readers and the
   legacy panel, with the ACU Wiegand port configured as output to the legacy panel. Replace low
   frequency (LF) Wiegand readers with LF Openpath readers and high frequency (HF) Wiegand
   readers with HF Openpath readers. In this setup, the legacy panel controls all locking hardware and
   entry mechanisms while the Openpath system allows you to use the Openpath mobile app, Smart
   reader, and Touch functionality.

   LEGACY WIRING

   Sometimes legacy wiring (unshielded and straight through, rather than shielded twisted pair, often
   22-6) results in slower connections and dropped packets between the Openpath Reader and Smart
   Hub. To remedy this, you can switch GND and VIN with +B and -A connections on the ACU and
   readers to ensure the data pair (+B and -A) are using the alternate pair of legacy wires.


   ACU LEDS




   The Openpath ACU has several LEDs that indicate the following:

   ●    POWER LEDs indicate that the ACU is connected to power



Version 1.5                                ©​ Openpath 2019                                  Page 14


   ●    The four RELAY LEDs indicate when the relays are activated
   ●    The STATUS LED in the center of the ACU indicates that the ACU has been configured with
        firmware. It will flash green when ​Identify​ is pressed in the Control Center.
   ●    The four READER POWER LEDs indicate that the ACU has output power enabled per reader


   READER LEDS

   The Openpath Smart Reader’s LEDs indicate the following:

   ●    If the center dot is solid white, then the door is locked
   ●    If the outer ring is solid white, then the door is unlocked
   ●    If the center dot quickly switches between multiple colors and outer ring quickly spins once,
        the reader has just received power
   ●    If all lights are off, the reader is not connected to power (check to see if the power wires are
        swapped)
   ●    If the center dot is flashing red, the reader is connected to power but cannot communicate with
        the ACU (check to see if the +B [blue] and -A [violet] lines are swapped)
   ●    If the center dot is solid blue, the reader is connected to power and can communicate with the
        ACU, but has not been configured as an entry in the Control Center
   ●    If the center dot is solid green, and the outer ring lights up and spins, that means the reader has
        been ​Identified​ via the Control Center
   ●    If the center dot is solid purple and the outer ring is solid white, the reader is possibly not
        receiving enough voltage or current, potentially due to a break in wiring – try connecting the
        reader directly to the ACU, bypassing any wire runs
   ●    If the center dot is solid pink and the outer ring is solid white, check that +12V IN (orange)
        hasn’t been swapped with +B (blue) or -A (violet)


   RESETTING THE ACU

   Soft Reset:​ To soft reset the ACU, disconnect power from the ACU, wait 10 seconds, then reconnect
   the power.


       WARNING:​ Only hard reset the ACU if absolutely necessary and if instructed by Openpath. This
       will clear all of the data off of the ACU and will require reprovisioning, which requires having a
       computer or mobile phone on the same network as the ACU.


   Hard Reset:​ To hard reset the ACU, disconnect power from the ACU, hold down the ADMIN
   BUTTON, reconnect power to the ACU, wait 20 seconds while still holding the button down, then
   release the button. Wait 10 minutes before re-provisioning the ACU following the ​PROVISIONING
   THE ACU​ steps below.

   PROVISIONING THE ACU

   Provisioning the ACU means registering it in the online portal and getting it up and running with
   the latest firmware. ACUs are shipped already provisioned, but below are instructions for this
   process in the case of ​RESETTING THE ACU​.

   To provision the ACU:
   1. Connect the ACU to the Internet via Ethernet
   2. Press the ADMIN BUTTON
   3. On a computer or mobile phone on the same network as the ACU, go to
       https://control.openpath.com
   4. Log in with your administrative login
   5. Go to ​Hardware​ > ​ACU Management
   6. Locate the ACU on the list and click ​Register
   7. A new window will open with instructions on registering the ACU. Click ​Yes​ to proceed.
