ImproX SupaGate

Overview

Introduction

ImproX SupaGate 4-Channel Controller

The SupaGate 4-Channel Controller provides a compact and reliable access control system for small commercial and upmarket residential access control applications. Combining both Dynamic Code

Transmission radio frequency and passive transponder technology the SupaGate is ideal for both personal and vehicle access points.

The SupaGate can control up to four separate access points, made up of up to four RF access points or three RF access points and one passive access point. In addition the SupaGate supports both keypad and non-keypad Antenna Readers. When a keypad Antenna Reader is used the SupaGate supports the option of PIN only access. As the SupaGate is compatible with the entire ImproX range of Antenna Readers, this gives you the option of 10 different Antenna Reader types:

•

ImproX (SKA) SupaGate Keypad Antenna Reader.

•

ImproX (MA) Micro Antenna Reader.

•

ImproX (MHA) Metal Antenna Reader.

•

ImproX (KHA) Metal Keypad Antenna Reader.

•

ImproX (KMA) Mullion Keypad Antenna Reader.

•

ImproX (RA) Rod Antenna Reader.

•

ImproX (KA) Keypad Antenna Reader.

•

ImproX (DPA) Door Entry Panel Antenna Reader.

•

ImproX (CA) Conduit Antenna Reader.

Tag Read Ranges

Passive Antenna Reader (125 kHz)

The range that the Antenna Reader can read from a Tag is dependent on the type of Tag, type of

Antenna Reader and material on which the Antenna Reader is mounted.

Typical ranges are shown in Table 1.

Installation Information

Accessories

General

Find the following when unpacking the SupaGate Controller:

•

A SupaGate housed in a Black tinted, Polycarbonate Plastic Cabinet. The SupaGate consists of a 2-piece Top Cover and a Base.

CAUTION: DO NOT use the Metal-oxide Varistors (25 Vrms, 500 A, 77 V max clamping) with mains power applications.

•

Four Metal-Oxide Varistors, 25 Vrms, 500 A, 77 V max clamping.

•

Four Black tinted, Polycarbonate Plastic Standoffs.

•

Two Brass Wood Screws (3.50 mm x 25 mm).

•

Two Wall Plugs (7 mm).

•

An extra Serial Number Label.

Remember the following when installing the SupaGate:

Read Range

CAUTION: The SupaGate is susceptible to excessive RF interference, reducing the range.

Always site test the SupaGate, prior to installation, in its installation location for optimum RF read range.

•

The SupaGate has a tested RF read range of between 10 m to 40 m (11 yd to 44 yd) when used with the ImproX QT (XQT904-1-1-GB-XX).

•

The passive read range varies from between 25 mm to 76 mm (1 in to 3 in) depending on the Antenna Reader and Tag used.

Antenna Reader Distance

The ideal cable distance between the SupaGate and its Antenna Reader ranges between 2 m to 16 m

(7 ft to 53 ft). Achieve this by using good quality screened, twisted pair cable.

Distance between Antenna Readers from DIFFERENT SupaGates

To avoid mutual interference, install the Antenna Readers alongside each other at least 500 mm

(20 in) apart.

Default Relay Selection

•

For passive Tags presented to Antenna Reader 1, Relay 1 is automatically selected.

•

When using the Normal (4-Digit) PIN-code, if you enter the PIN-code on Antenna Reader

1, Relay 1 is automatically selected.

•

Buttons 1 to 4 on the ImproX (QT) Quad Transmitter activate Relays 1 to 4 on the

SupaGate Controller. If only Buttons 1 and 2 are pressed during the “Add RF Tags” procedure then only those Buttons will activate the relevant Relays. Buttons 3 and 4 will have no action. Any combination is available. See Figure 1 for Button locations.

Figure 1: Button Configuration for the ImproX (QT) Quad Transmitter Programmed in “Dynamic Code

•

The ImproX (QT) Quad Transmitter has its own passive Tag, separate from the transmitted codes. Presenting the ImproX (QT) Quad Transmitter passive Tag to

Antenna Reader 1 drives Relay 1.

Arc Suppression

Snubber devices are recommended for EMF Flyback and Arc Suppression when driving an inductive load with the Relay, see Figure 2.

Mounting the SupaGate

CAUTION:

CAUTION:

DO NOT mount the Controller on or close to a metal surface.

Mount the SupaGate in a suitable indoor location, or protected outdoor location. Mounting the SupaGate in a location unprotected against rain will damage the SupaGate Controller.

CAUTION: Make certain that you mount the Controller on a vibration-free surface.

NOTE: If you intend mounting the SupaGate on a damp wall, use the supplied standoffs to position the SupaGate away from the wall.

NOTE: Test the SupaGate, in the proposed installation location before mounting in position, ensuring the read range meets your needs.

1. After removing the SupaGate from its packaging, straighten the flexible Antenna, this ensures an improved RF read range.

2. Position the SupaGate in clear line-of-sight, preferably 1 m to 2 m (4 ft to 6 ft) above the ground, in the direction of movement, with the Antenna vertical.

3. Secure the Cabinet to the mounting surface, using two suitable screws and wall plugs

(supplied), nuts and bolts or rivets.

Complicated Concepts

•

If the Tag + PIN-code function is required, then register a Tag at Antenna Reader 1 and a 5-digit PIN-code specifying Relay 2. Relays 1 and 2 can then be wired in series.

Appropriate Relay durations need to be chosen.

•

If the incorrect PIN-code is entered 3 times in succession, the Keypad locks for 20 seconds. During this period the RF System remains operational.

•

If you select Button 1 on the ImproX (QT) Quad Transmitter to activate Relay 1, presenting the ImproX (QT) Quad Transmitters passive Tag to Antenna Reader 1 automatically activates Relay 1. This will only utilize 1 of your 99 Locations.
