Units are delivered pre-wired, connecting power, relay, and triggered outputs. Do not remove any of the existing wirings
unless instructed by Latitude Security.
This section provides instructions for wiring the card
reader and the two most common types of locks, electric strike, and magnetic
lock.
Reader Cabling
A dedicated cable should be run from the control panel to
the reader. It is recommended that 22
gauge, 6 conductors, shielded cable (AWG 22/6, shielded) be used.
Reader Mounting
Latitude supplies readers in two different sizes: Narrow, which is designed to mount on a door
frame, also known as a mullion. The
other is a standard one-gang mount. These readers are designed to fit on a standard single outlet box.
Readers should be mounted between 34 inches and 48 inches
from the ground. This ADA code for door
handles and readers must follow suit since they are a form of ingress.
For detailed mounting instructions, please refer to the
documentation provided by the reader manufacturer.
Use the wire colors according to the diagrams provided by the reader type. It is recommended that DOLPHIN
(blue) connectors or WAGO connectors are used to join wires between
the reader pigtail and cable going to the control panel. Please avoid using wire nuts. Dolphin connectors are good for fitting into
tight spaces, however, they are permanent connections and the wire must be cut
to redo a connection. Wago connectors
are preferred because they work with a wide range of wire gauges, and they don’t
require wires to be cut to redo a connection, although they may not fit in some
smaller areas.
IMPORTANT: Requires 5VDC power. Must use voltage step-down (~12v to ~5v) to
power reader.
Lock Cabling
Locks and exit devices should have a dedicated cable,
therefore, not to create any unnecessary electrical interference with the
reader, since the reader is a communication device.
There are multiple methods for wiring locks, however, the
methods described in this guide are what is recommended by Latitude for a
non-retrofit situation. A retrofit
situation consists of cases where this system may be running in parallel with
another system or connecting to existing locks and power.
Strikes and rim devices operate in the same way
in that power is sent to the lock to release (open) the lock. These electric locks should be installed on
doors where exiting the room doesn’t require the lock to be operational,
therefore, making for a safer environment in the event of an emergency.
IMPORTANT: LOCKS MUST BE 12 VOLT DC ONLY Electric Strike with Lockset (mortise or cylindrical)
Electrified Exit Device
Maglocks are simple by design but require more circuitry to maintain
a safe environment. Maglocks are always
“ON” when the door is locked. This means
power is being sent to the device in its normal state. Power to the door must be interrupted to
release the door. The ability to intuitively
interrupt power, therefore releasing the lock, under any circumstance when
exiting the building is required.
The following cabling diagrams cover two scenarios: The first is a typical installation using a
push bar exit device, which is one of the safest methods when implementing
maglocks. The second scenario incorporates connections for a motion sensor and a push-button exit. When using a motion sensor to release the
maglock, a secondary (redundant) exit device is required, such as a button
release. 18-24 gauge wire is recommended for wiring locks. When wiring a push bar exit, an 18 gauge,
2-conductor would be the most effective and easiest to manage. When wiring a motion device, exit button, and
lock, a 6-conductor cable is best.

Testing
This section provides instructions for wiring the card reader and the two most common types of locks, electric strike, and magnetic lock.
A test card is provided in the plastic bag containing the
piece parts. This card has been
pre-programmed with the system, therefore, door functionality can be tested
without the control panel being connected to the Internet.
- Power the system and wait about 3 minutes for
the system to fully boot prior to performing any tests.
- With the test card in hand, go to the reader and
scan the card.
- Did the light on the reader turn GREEN for 5
seconds?
- Did the door unlock and stay unlocked for 5
seconds?
- Test exit devices (typically with maglocks):
- Does the motion sensor unlock the door for 5
seconds?
- Does the button unlock the door? Depends on the setting, but unlock period
should be between 10-30 seconds.
