Introduction
The UNC100 is a single door In/Out access point controller for the Axiom™ system that includes a built-in
local area network interface.
The network interface also utilizes a POE (power over Ethernet) converter.
ULC-S319-05 III
For ULC-S319-05 III compliance, all wiring into the panel’s cabinet must enter through metal conduit.
Also be sure to mount the panel in a protected area.
Communication
The UNC100 has one RS485 port and an Ethernet 10/100 interface. Communications from the host
computer running Axiom software can be achieved in the following ways; either via the Ethernet
interface or via RS485 through a direct connection to a designated channel. The UNC100’s RS485
channel may be programmed as HOST, DNET, UNC-NET, or LAN. Use the DIP switch to select baud rate
for Host communications as 9600, 38400, 57600, or 115200.
Networks
There are three networks supported by the UNC100 these are:
1) Host Communications through the Ethernet or direct connection.
2) Device Communications for devices such as additional RC-2s starting at address 2, Alarm Keypads,
IOC-16 controllers, and PC100.
3) Controller Communications for controllers such as additional UNC500s or for NC100s via UNC-NET
which is protocol designed for RS485 communications between UNC500s and UNC100s only.

RS485 Applications
Application name Description

HOST The Host port connects the UNC500 to a PC through an RS485
interface.
D-NET The D-NET (Device Network) connects local device controllers
(RC-2, IOC-16, SafeSuite™ Panels, NRC2000, or NURC2000) to
the UNC100 controller on a high-speed bi-directional RS485
network.
UNC-NET The UNC-NET (Controller Network) connects the UNC100
controller to other on a high-speed bi-directional RS485
network.
DIP Switch Settings

The UNC100 DIP switch controls the device’s address and serial port baud rate.
Note: To Clear Panel memory – All DIP switches must be off and the unit powered off and
on.

Master Controller
Each network must have a single unit designated as the master controller. The master controller
connects to the PC. Setting the DIP switch address to 1 will automatically designate a unit as the master
controller.
Slave Controller
All controllers addressed 2 through 15 are referred to as slave controllers.
RS485 (HOST) Port Baud Rate Selection (Master Only)

The controller's serial port baud rate is set with controller DIP switches 6 and 7. This setting determines
the speed used to communicate with the PC; the controller baud rate must be the same as the baud rate
set for the port within the AxiomV™ software. The default baud rate is 9600.
Controller Baud Rate Selection

DIP Switch 6 DIP Switch 7 Baud Rate
OFF OFF 9600
ON OFF 38400
OFF ON 57600
ON ON 115200
Host Connection
The master controller is connected to either a serial port on the PC or through the local Ethernet via a
static IP address. The means of communication is configured in the AxiomV™ software under Network
Properties/Port Type.

UNC100 TCP/IP Connection
The master controller in some installations may not be directly connected to the PC and may be linked by
the local Ethernet. The system supports a static IP address only [default address is 192.168.168.125]. To
change the IP address of the unit you can either use IP Locator [a utility program provided by RBH] or
Telnet.
PC to UNC100 Connection - LAN

Page 12 of 25
Telnet
To program the UNC100 through Telnet you first have to set all DIP switches off. Connect to the panel
with an Ethernet cable and configure your computer to have IP address 192.168.168.20 [remember to
reconfigure your machine’s IP address back when you are done]. In the “cmd” window type the
following “telnet 192.168.168.125”. If a connection is made the following message will be displayed.
Telnet Opened on port 23 2 MEG RAM detected.
A password is required in order to change user parameters. The default password is “password”. The
password can be changed by the user. After entering the password the following items are available for
the use to alter.
Name Defaults Description and notes

UNC-NET (Controller Network)
 When combining UNC500s and UNC100s; connect the RS485 of the previous
UNC100 to CH3 (Configured as NC-NET) of the UNC500.

Page 14 of 25
If host connection is made through the RS485 port, then only one panel can be connected.
Battery Charger
The battery charger routes input power from the 13.8v input source or POE module and constantly
monitors the battery voltage.
Reverse Battery Protection

A combination of a three ampere diode and a 1.6 amp thermal fuse protects against accidental
connection of a battery in the reverse direction.
Battery Test
A battery test cycle is operator initiated or scheduled. When initiated the charger is turned off and a
24Ω resistor provides a load to the battery for about ten seconds. If during this period the voltage drops
below 10 volts a battery alarm message is sent to the host, otherwise a battery normal message is sent.
Fuse Monitoring
Besides monitoring the battery voltage the UNC100 also monitors the input voltage (DC), auxiliary
voltage (aux) and the reader voltage (reader) and reports to the host whenever the state changes.
Diagnostic LED’s
The RS485 circuit has a red and green LED to indicate when a signal is received or transmitted.
Host Comms LED is a bicolour LED when red indicates receiving data from the host and when green
indicates transmission of data.
Run LED will flash slowly when connected to the host and quickly when not connected.
Trouble LED will flash when a power problem such as a low battery or low auxiliary power is detected.
Tamper Detection
A tamper wire may be connected to JP1 located close to the center of the board. A short to this input is
normal and an open is alarm.
Page 15 of 25
RAM Memory
The static ram memory holds the database from the host (capable of handling 50k cards) that is
downloaded using Axiom software. The coin cell provides power to the memory as well as the real time
clock.
Power Input / Output

Located on the top right corner of the board is a jumper that selects if the power terminals are to be
used to supply power or provide power. Select “OUT” when using a POE supply and require 13.8V @
500ma for other equipment.
When not using POE, the jumper should be set to “IN”.
The UNC100 controller requires 13.8VDC to be supplied from an external source. (Note: Although the
unit can run on 12VDC, you will need 13.8VDC to be able to charge backup batteries.
D-NET Device Network

Up to four RC-2 reader controllers (The UNC100 is configured for 1, then you can connect 3 physical
RC2s), and up to sixteen IOC-16 input/output controllers, may be connected to each network controller
in the UNC-NET using high speed RS485 communications.
D-NET (Device Network)

Page 16 of 25
NRC2000 panels may be used in place of RC-2 panels.
NURC2000 may also be used in place of RC-2 panels.
The D-NET connects IOC-16, RC-2, SafeSuite™ panels, PC-100, NRC2000, and NURC2000 devices in a daisy
chain fashion (parallel connection) to the network controller. Device controllers do not have to be
addressed sequentially. However, using sequential device controller addressing is recommended as this
makes your cabling diagrams easier to follow and simplifies troubleshooting as the devices are in the
correct numerical sequence.
*** UNC100 D-NETs comprising SafeSuite™ panels, PC-100, NIRC2000, and NURC2000 devices must
have the last unit in the line terminated.

Access Point Operating Modes
Two Person
The Red LED flashes slowly.
In Two Person Mode, two valid cards are required for access. The reader Buzzer beeps rapidly after the
first card is presented. A second valid card must be presented within ten seconds for access to be
granted.
High Security
The Red LED flashes quickly.
In High Security Mode, only cardholders with High Security Privilege are allowed access.
Unlocked
The green LED turns on to indicate the door is unlocked.
Tamper
The Buzzer sounds continuously.
Lockout Alarm
The Buzzer beeps rapidly.
A lockout alarm occurs when a user-defined number of „Access Denied‟ messages occur.
These messages can include „Invalid Card Number‟, „No Access at this Time‟, „No Access at this Reader‟,
or „Invalid PIN Code‟.
Door Held Open Warning

The Buzzer beeps slowly.
Door Held Open Alarm

The Buzzer sounds continuously.
Keypad / Reader Combination

The Buzzer emits a short beep every second after a card is presented, until a PIN is entered.
Access Granted
The Buzzer emits one long beep and the green LED turns on for the duration of the unlock time.
Access Denied
The Buzzer emits two short beeps and the red LED flashes twice.

Page 20 of 25
Outputs
There are two form C relays and two open collector outputs that can be programmed as general purpose
or default applications. Although the contacts are rated at 12 amperes at 125vac the surge protectors
prevent voltages greater then 40vac or 56vdc from being applied. The recommended use of the relays is
to provide isolated outputs for driving electric strikes or magnetic locks at a maximum voltage of 24v.
The open collector outputs are current limited to 100 milli-amperes direct current only.
Number Default Application Type

1 Lock Relay form C
2 Forced Entry Alarm Open Collector (100ma)
3 Door Held Open Relay form C
4 Alarm Shunt Open Collector (100ma)
Default Output Operation
Lock Output
For magnetic locks, the relay should be configured from the PC as On State de-energized for fail-safe
operation. If power fails (AC and battery) the power to the magnetic lock is removed and the door is
opened.
Forced / Tamper
The Forced/Tamper output turns on if the door is forced open or if a reader tamper is detected. This
output remains on for as long as the alarm condition exists.
Door Held Open

The Door Held Open output turns on if the door is held open longer than the programmed limit. This
output remains on until the door closes. During the warning period, this output will pulse every second.
Alarm Shunt
The alarm shunt output turns on when the door is unlocked. This output turns off when the door is re-
locked if the door is closed at that time; otherwise the output turns off when the door closes. Normally
the shunt output is used to bypass a door contact monitored by a secondary alarm panel.
Switching Inductive Devices (Locks, Bells)

Exercise caution when switching an inductive load. Inductive devices include external relay, solenoids,
bells, and door locks. All of these devices generate extremely high voltage spikes (several thousand volts)
when applied power is removed. Possible disruption of operation could occur if this interference gets on
to the electronic circuit board.

Page 21 of 25
This interference can be suppressed by placing a diode (1N4001 or similar) across the lock or other
inductive device being switched. Connect the diode cathode (end with band) to the positive terminal
and the other end to the negative terminal. The diode must be placed at the device being switched and
not at the controller.
Input Applications
Number Default Application

1 Request to Exit
2 Door contact
3 General Purpose Input 1
4 General Purpose Input 2
Request to Exit (RTE)

The Request to Exit [RTE] input is connected to a push button mounted on the door or to a motion
detector mounted near the door. A normally open or normally closed button can be used and the circuit
type can be programmed from the PC. Activating the RTE input will unlock the door. The RTE can be
disabled by time zone. This input can be used as a general purpose input if RTE operation is not
required. If not used, leave the default RTE settings in the AxiomV™ software configuration.
Door Contact (DC)

The Door Contact [DC] input monitors the state of the door. Forced entry, door held open alarm, and
door held open warning require monitoring of the door state. This input can be used as a general-
purpose input if the door contact is not required. If not used, leave the default DC settings in the
AxiomV™ software configuration.

Page 22 of 25
Supervised Inputs
The UNC100 has four fully supervised inputs. Each input is individually programmable from the PC
Each input has four states: Restore, Alarm, Trouble, and Illegal. Trouble is reported if a short or break is
detected on a supervised circuit and illegal is reported if the measured loop resistance lies between valid
states. For example, if the circuit type is programmed as “2 resistor normally closed”, 1k represents a
restored state and 2k represents an alarm state. If the loop resistance changes by more than 15% but
not enough to enter the next state, an illegal state is reported.
Input Circuit Types

The RC-2 supports seven different input circuit types ranging from no resistor for low security
applications to two resistor normally closed circuits where the highest security is required.
Normally Closed, No Resistor
