1. General:
The eMAX-LP1501 is an IP Network-based Intelligent Area Controller that provides local transaction
processing & decision making, transaction/event reporting, and local database storage for the eMAX
hardware platform and the Maxxess eAXxess and eFusion Access Control Systems. The eMAX-
LP1501 is Power over Ethernet (PoE & PoE+) capable, and includes two (2) card reader interfaces
configured as paired or alternate readers, providing control for a single door/portal on-board.
The eMAX-LP1501 Host communication is via the on-board 10-BaseT/100Base-TX Ethernet port.
One physical barrier (door) can be controlled with the eMAX-LP1501, using single or paired readers.
Reader port 1 can be configured to accommodate a Reader that utilizes TTL/Wiegand (D1/D0),
TTL/Magnetic Stripe (Clock/Data), F/2F Protocol, or 2-wire RS-485 device signaling such as OSDP,
and also provides tri-state LED control, and buzzer control (one wire LED mode only). This Reader
Port can also be configured to support multiple 2-wire RS-485 multi-dropped devices, such as
remote Serial I/O Devices (maximum of eight), or up to two OSDP readers.
Reader port 2 can be configured to accommodate a Reader that utilizes TTL/Wiegand (D1/D0),
TTL/Magnetic Stripe (Clock/Data), or F/2F signaling, and also provides tri-state LED control, and
buzzer control (one wire LED mode only).
Two Form-C contact relay outputs may be used for door strike control or alarm signaling. The relay
contacts are rated at 2 A @ 30 Vdc, dry contact configuration. Two inputs are provided that may be
used for monitoring the door contact, exit push button or alarm contact. Input circuits can be
configured as non-supervised or supervised monitoring.
The eMAX-LP1501 requires Power over Ethernet (PoE or PoE+) or 12 Vdc for power. The
Controller may be mounted in a 3-gang switch box using a mounting plate that is included with the
unit. Or it can be mounted in a Maxxess enclosure. The supplied mounting plate has mounting
holes that match the eMAX-MR50 mounting footprint.

Note: For UL compliance, the Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) such as a PoE or PoE+ enabled
network switch and/or PoE or PoE+ power injectors must be UL Listed under UL294B.

(Refer to online HELP in the Maxxess host software for important details on encryption)
NOTE: See Appendix A for details on configuring the eMAX-LP controller’s IP address

4. Bulk Erase Configuration Memory:

The bulk erase function can be used for the following purposes:
➢ Erase all configuration and cardholder database (sanitize board)
➢ Update OEM default parameters after OEM code has been changed
➢ Recover from database corruption causing eMAX-LP1501 board to continuously reboot
If clearing the memory does not correct the initialization problem, contact technical support.
Bulk Erase Steps: Do not remove power during steps 1-8.
1. Set S1 DIP switches to: 1 & 2 "ON", 3 & 4 "OFF".
2. Apply power to the LP1501 board. LED 1 on for up to 15 seconds while LP1501 boots up.
3. After the eMAX-LP1501 boots up, watch for LEDs 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 to alternately flash at a 0.5
second rate.
4. Within 10 seconds after the above pattern starts, change switches 1 or 2 to "OFF". If these
switches are not changed, the eMAX-LP1501 board will power up using the OEM default
communication parameters.
5. LED 2 will flash indicating that the configuration memory is being erased.
6. Full memory erase takes up to 60 seconds, usually a lot less.
7. When complete, only LEDs 1 & 4 will flash for about 3 seconds.
8. The eMAX-LP1501 will complete its initialization in 2 seconds after LEDs 1 & 4 stop flashing.

5. Input Power:
The eMAX-LP1501 is powered by one of two ways (jumper selected, J3):
• Power is supplied via the Ethernet connection using PoE or PoE+, fully compliant to IEEE 802.3af
• Or local 12 Vdc power supply, TB4-3 (VIN), TB4-4 (GND)
Note: If the unit is being powered by a 12Vdc supply and is plugged into a POE port, be sure
to turn off the power output for the POE port of the managed switch. This can be done using
the managed switch configuration software.
6. Communication Wiring:
The eMAX-LP1501 controller communicates to the host via the on-board 10-BaseT/100Base-TX
Ethernet interface.
7. Reader Wiring:
The first reader port supports TTL/Wiegand (Data 1/Data 0), TTL/Magnetic Stripe (Clock/Data), F/2F,
OSDP RS485 Readers, or *2-wire RS-485 Remote Serial I/O Controllers or electrical interfaces. The
second reader port supports TTL/Wiegand, or TTL/Magnetic Stripe, or F/2F electrical interfaces.
Power to the first Reader Port is 12Vdc and is current limited to 300mA. The Reader on Reader Port
2 may be powered from the auxiliary power output on TB4-1 and TB4-2. Readers that require
different voltage or have high current requirements should be powered separately. Refer to the
reader manufacture specifications for cabling requirements. In the 2-wire LED mode, the Buzzer
output is used to drive the second LED. Reader port configuration is set via the host software.
* Reader port 1 can support up to eight (8) 2-wire RS-485 remote Serial I/O devices (such as MR50,
MR52, MR16in, MR16out) using MSP1 protocol. Or up to two OSDP Reader devices. If two OSDP
devices are used, reader port 2 will not support a third reader. If only one OSDP device is configured,
then reader port 2 is available for a second reader (but not OSDP). The maximum cable length is
2000 ft. (610 m). Do not terminate any RS-485 devices connected to reader port 1.

NOTE: When powering a remote device(s) from the eMAX-LP1501, be cautious not to exceed the
maximum current limit. Cable gauge must also be evaluated. See specifications section for details.
If Reader Port 1 is used as the RS-485 port for downstream panels, the second reader port will
become the only available reader port and will assume the role of the primary reader for the on-board
door if configured to its internal panel. In this case, the reader connected to Reader Port 2 must
be defined as Door-1 in the software. The unit must be reset and initialized for the change to
take effect.
PLEASE NOTE: When configuring the eMAX-LP1501, the maximum number of Access
Control Readers it can support is (17).

8. Input Circuit Wiring:
Typically, these inputs are used to monitor door position, request to exit, or alarm contacts. Input
circuits can be configured as unsupervised or supervised. When unsupervised, reporting consists of
only the open or closed states.

When configured as supervised, the input circuit will report not only open and closed, but also open
circuit, short circuit, grounded, and foreign voltage. A supervised input circuit requires two resistors
be added to the circuit to facilitate proper reporting. The standard supervised circuit requires two (2)
1K Ohm, 1% resistors and should be located as close to the sensor as possible.

NOTE: Grounded and foreign voltage states are not a requirement of UL 294 and therefore not
verified by UL.

The input circuit wiring configurations shown are supported but may not be typical:

9. Relay Circuit Wiring:
Two Form-C contact relays are provided for controlling door lock mechanisms or alarm signaling
devices. The relay contacts are rated at 2 A @ 30 Vdc, dry contact configuration. Each relay has a
Common pole (C), a Normally Open pole (NO) and a Normally Closed pole (NC). When you are
controlling the delivery of power to the door strike, the Normally Open and Common poles are used.
When momentarily removing power to unlock the door, as with a mag lock, the Normally Closed and
Common poles are used. Check with local building codes for proper egress door installation.

Door lock mechanisms can generate EMF feedback to the relay circuit that can cause damage and
premature failure of the relay plus affect the operation of the LP1501. For this reason, it is
recommended that either a diode or MOV (metal oxide varistor) be used to protect the relay. Wire
should be of sufficient gauge to avoid voltage loss.

From the Auxiliary output, the LP1501 can provide 12 Vdc power for external devices provided that
the maximum current is not exceeded. See the specifications section for details. If a local power
supply is used, it must be UL Listed Class 2 Rated.

DIODE SELECTION:

DIODE Current Rating > 1 X STRIKE CURRENT

DIODE Break Down Voltage: 4X STRIKE VOLTAGE
FOR 12VDC or 24VDC STRIKE, DIODE 1N4002
(100V /1A) TYPICAL

MOV SELECTION:

CLAMP VOLTAGE > 1.5 X Vac RMS

FOR 24Vac STRIKE, PANASONIC ERZ-
C07DK470 TYPICAL

10. Memory Backup Battery:
The SRAM of the eMAX-LP1501 Controller is backed up by a rechargeable battery when input
power is removed. This battery should retain the data for a minimum or 3 days. If data in the SRAM
is determined to be corrupt after power up, all data, including flash memory, is considered invalid
and is erased. All configuration data must be re-downloaded.
Note: The initial charge of the battery may take up to 48 hours to be fully charged.

11. Status LEDs:

Power-up: All LED's OFF.

Initialization: After power is applied, LED 1 is ON for about 15 seconds, then LED’s 2 through 7 are
flashed once at the beginning of initialization. LEDs 5, 6 and 7 are turned ON for approximately 1
second after the hardware initialization has completed, then the application code is initialized. The
amount of time the application takes to initialize depends on the size of the database, about 1 second
without a card database. Each 10,000 cards will add about 2 seconds to the application initialization.
When LED's 1 through 4 flash at the same time, data is being read from or written to flash memory, do
not cycle power when in this state. If the sequence stops or repeats, perform the bulk erase
procedure, see section 4. If clearing the memory does not correct the initialization problem, contact
technical support.

Running: After initialization is complete, the LEDs have the following meanings:

LED DESCRIPTION
Off-Line / On-Line:
Off-Line = 20 % ON
1 On-Line = 80 % ON
2 Host Communication Activity
Readers (combined):
Clock/Data or D1/D0 Mode = Flashes when Data is Received, Either Input.
3
RS-485 Mode = Flashes when Transmitting Data
F/2F Mode = Flashes when Data/Acknowledgment is Received
4 Input IN1 Status: OFF = Inactive, ON = Active, Flash = Fault See Note 1
5 Input IN2 Status: OFF = Inactive, ON = Active, Flash = Fault See Note 1
6 Cabinet Tamper
7 Reserved for Future Use
D9 Relay K1: ON = Energized
D10 Relay K2: ON = Energized
YEL Ethernet Speed: OFF = 10 Mb/S, ON = 100 Mb/S
GRN OFF = No Link, ON = Good Link, Flashing = Ethernet Activity

Note 1: If this input is defined, every three seconds the LED is pulsed to its opposite state
for 0.1 seconds, otherwise, the LED is off.

12. IT Security
When installing the LP1501, it is important to ensure that it is done in a secure manner.

Upon installation, the user accounts to the web configuration page should be created with secure
passwords, and that all DIP switches are in the off position for the normal operating mode. The
LP1501 is shipped from the factory with a default login account, which is enabled when DIP
SWITCH 1 is moved from OFF to ON. The default login user name and password will be available
for five minutes once enabled. Therefore, it is important that at least one user account is defined,
and the DIP switches are set to OFF before the LP1501 is commissioned. It is also highly
recommended not to configure the LP1501 with an IP address that is accessible from the public
Internet.

To further enhance network security, options are available to disable SNMP, Zeroconf discovery, as
well as the web configuration module itself. Additionally, data encryption can also be enabled over
the host communication port.
