Instructions
- Access200™ biometric readers are designed to be mounted to a standard 1-gang electrical box. The center of the electrical box should be mounted as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Gang box location requirements.
- Carefully unpack all items from the Access200™ shipping box once the electrical box is properly installed per the manufacturer's instructions.
- Access200™ devices require the following connections for power and communications:
- Power - Power can be supplied to Access200™ devices via a Cat 5e or higher cable connected to a PoE+ switch. Note that managed/configurable PoE+ switches must be configured for 30W max output. If a PoE+ connection is not available, power can be provided via an external 24 VDC power supply.
- Communication with Identity Server - If power is provided via a PoE+ connection, then no additional connection is required to establish communication with Princeton Identity's Identity Server software. If power is provided via 24 VDC, then a Cat 5e or higher Ethernet cable is required.
- Communication with the Physical Access Control System (PACS) - Communication with the PACS is done via Wiegand wires. Alternatively, customers may choose to purchase their Access200™ devices with an optional OSDP interface. Connecting to the PACS via Wiegand requires 3, 20 AWG (this is typically 22/6 shielded when existing wiring is present) wires. For OSDP, a 2-wire RS-485 communication cable is used.
- For the Access200™ indoor reader only, remove the two screws on the bottom of the device (Figure 2.) which secure the back panel to the Access200™ indoor reader using the supplied T10 Security Key. Disconnect the cable that connects the back panel to the front face. The Access200w™ outdoor reader is sealed at the factory and should not be opened in the field.
Figure 2. Remove the bottom screws of the Access200™ indoor reader.
- Perform the following after routing the necessary connections as described above and installing the required 1-gang electrical box at the desired location:
- Access200™ - Mount the back panel to the 1-gang electrical box as shown in Figure 3.
- Accesss200w™ - Proceed to the step named "Wiring The Access200w™ outdoor device"
Figure 3
- The Access200™ devices can now be connected to the PACS and external power source (if required) per the following instructions based on the type of installation being performed.
Wiring The Access200™ indoor device
All PACS connections for indoor Access units are made to the wall bracket connection board which is outlined in red in the following image.
Figure 4. Wall bracket connection board.
- The wall bracket connection board is designed to accommodate a range of system configurations. Please refer to the following figures for the proper wiring for your system. If you have a configuration that is not identified, please contact support@princetonidentity.com for further assistance.
NOTE: Throughout this document, the Rev. F and higher Wall Carrier board is shown. Rev. E or lower boards have the "INTERNAL" and "PASS THROUGH" labels reversed at location J6. However, the jumper positions shown in the following images are correct.

Power for an external card reader can be supplied by the Access200™ device, if desired. Figures 7 and 8 show the wiring diagrams for such configurations.
Figure 9. Connections for the Access200™ connected to the network via PoE+ and operating in Biometric OR Card or Biometric AND Card modes with a third-party external card reader (not included) powered from the Access200™ wall bracket connection board. Note the location of the jumper at location J6.

Note the location of the jumper at location J6.
- The Access200™ also includes a 24 V dry contact relay for the purpose of triggering door strikes, turnstiles, and other related accessories upon positive identification. The following figures provide various wiring configurations for the power source and authentication method to be employed.

- Connect the device interface cable from the Access200™ indoor device to the J7 receptacle on the wall bracket connection board once the required connections described above have been completed. Connect the Ethernet and 24 VDC power (if available) to the back of the Access200™ device. Place the ferrite bead included with the Access200™ on the Ethernet cable as close to the unit as possible.
Figure 13. J7 and Ethernet connection locations for the Access200 indoor unit.
- Clip the Access200™ to the wall bracket locating the top of the device into the upper clips first, then lower the bottom of the device into the bracket and gently press down.
- Reinstall the security screws (quantity 2) into place at the bottom of the unit using the provided screws and Allen wrench.
Figure 14.
Wiring The Access200w™ outdoor device
NOTE: The Access200w™ outdoor biometric reader is sealed during the production process before it is shipped from the factory. This is done in order to maintain the device's IEC IP65 ingress protection rating. Opening the device will break the seal and void the warranty.
- Secure the black wall mounting bracket to the 1-gang electrical box as shown in Figure 15.
Figure 15.
- The Access200w™ is shipped from the factory with four cables exiting the rear of the device (see Figure 16):
- Power
- Panel (the Wiegand wires to the access control panel)
- Reader (the Wiegand wires for an external card reader)
- Ethernet
- The Access200w™ Power, Panel, and Reader cables are shipped as flying leads (unterminated). Please refer to the Access200w™ Cable Specifications article for the pinout details of the Panel and Reader cables.
- The Ethernet cable is terminated at the factory with a standard RJ45 Cat6 connector. However, included in the Access200w™ box is a male/female four-pin IP67-compliant connector assembly should the customer site wish to remove the installed RJ45 connector and replace it.
Figure 16. View of Access200w™ heatsink/backplate.
- Once the cables of the device are terminated and connected to the facility wires, the Access200™ outdoor unit can be mounted to the wall.
- Then secure the Access200™ reader to the mounting panel as shown in Figure 17.
