Physical Installation

UNSCREW BACK PLATE 

Unscrew the center captive screw from the bottom of the unit with included security Torx™ L (T10-H) wrench to release the mounting back plate.

REMOVE THE BACK PLATE 

Separate the back plate from the iT100 by sliding the plate down on the back of the device.

 

Mounting

The iT100 can be surface mounted by using the installation plate (back plate) which is included with the unit. Instructions for iT100 installation using this surface mount back plate are available with 3 options.

 

SURFACE MOUNTING

Place the installation plate on the desired wall and screw into wall. Feed any needed wiring through the installation plate hole (i.e.: Power, Ethernet, etc). Attach the installation plate to the wall surface using the appropriate fastener and anchors for the wall material.

 

MOUNTING w/ GANG BOX (not included)

Place the installation plate on the desired wall and screw into the electrical gang box. Feed any needed wiring through the installation plate hole (i.e.: Power, Ethernet, etc.). Attach the installation plate to the wall surface using the appropriate fastener and screws anchors for the gang box

Wiring Connections

Complete the wiring and connections to the iT100 based on the necessary requirements for your installation. Make sure all wiring and connections are secure in the proper connections before completing the installation of the iT100. IMPORTANT: Before proceeding, make sure the installer adheres to anti-static precautions, using grounding, to prevent Electrostatic Discharges (ESD). Note: All connections of the iT100 are of SELV (Safety Electrical Low Voltage) type.

Important installation notes

1. Power

  • CN17 is the main power input.

  • Requires 12–24V DC and 24 watts.

  • Uses a keyed, locking two-pin connector.

2. Power output

  • CN20 provides 12V DC at a maximum of 300mA.

  • Do not use this to power magnetic locks or electric door strikes.

3. Door access control

  • CN18 provides Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) relay connections.

  • The manual warns that using the internal relay for door control is less secure if the wiring is accessible in an unsecured area.

4. Networking

  • CN23 is the Ethernet connection.

  • Supports CAT-5e, CAT-6, and CAT-6e cabling at up to 100 Mbps.

Completing Device Installation

Complete the device installation process by performing the following steps.
 
POWER ON DEVICE
With all connections made (Power, Ethernet wires, etc.) Turn on the source power supply and toggle the power On/Off switch of the iT100 to the ON position
