Introduction to the SPCA210
The SPCA210 allows an existing system to be expanded externally providing 2
card reader interfaces, 4 inputs and 2 outputs. Depending on the configuration, the
inputs and outputs of the 2-door expander can have predefined functionality or can
be used like in-& outputs from the control panel. The SPCA210 incorporates the
following elements, as shown in Fig. 1
1. Tamper By-Pass [J1]: The jumper setting determines the operation of the
tamper. The tamper operation can be overridden by fitting J1.
2. Front Tamper Switch: The expander has a front tamper switch with spring.
When the lid is closed the spring closes the switch.
3. Read LED: The LED indicates that data is received from one of the card
readers.
4. Buzzer: The buzzer is activated in order to locate the expander (see SPC
Configuration Manual). Depending on the configuration, the buzzer is also
activated in case of a door alarm.
5. Manual Address Switching: The switches allow manual setting of the ID of
each 2 door controller on the system.
6. X-BUS Status LED: The LED indicates the status of the X-BUS when the
system is in FULL ENGINEER mode, as shown below:
LED status
Flashes regularly
(once every 1.5 seconds approx.)
Flashes quickly
(once every 0.2 seconds approx.)
7. Outputs: The 2 door controller provides 2 relays for connecting the door locks.
8. Card Reader Interface 2: Depending on the configuration this reader is used
as entry reader for the second door or as exit reader for the first door.
9. Card Reader Interface 1: The entry reader of the first door is connected here.
10. Door Release Switch (DRS) Inputs: Each door has a DRS input. If the input
is activated the corresponding door is unlocked.
11. Door Position Sensor (DPS) Inputs: Each door has a DPS input. The input is
used to determine the status of the door (e.g. open, closed). If desired this
input can be additionally used as intrusion zone.
12. Input Power: The 2 door controller requires 12 V DC that can be supplied
directly from the SPC-series controller or from a SPC PSU expander.
13. X-BUS Interface: The communication bus is used to connect expanders
together on the SPC-series system (see section Wiring the X-BUS interface).
14. Termination Jumper: This jumper as a default is always fitted, however,
when wiring for Star configuration this fitting should be removed (see section
Wiring the X-BUS interface).
Wiring the X-BUS interface
The X-BUS interface provides connection of expanders, keypads and and door
controllers to the SPC controller. The X-BUS can be wired in a number of different
configurations depending on the installation requirements.
NOTE: Maximum system cable length = number of expanders and keypads in the
system x maximum distance for cable type.

Fig. 2 shows the wiring of the X-BUS to an expander/controller and the following
expander/ controller in Spur configuration. Terminals 3A/3B and 4A/4B are only
used for using a branch wiring technique. If using a Spur configuration, the last
expander is not wired back to the controller.

Wiring the inputs
The SPCA210 has 4 on-board zone inputs that can be configured to be one of the
following:
No End of Line (NEOL)

Please refer to SPC Configuration Manual for all possible resistor values and
combinations.
Wiring the outputs
The SPCA210 has 2 on-board 1 A, single pole changeover relays that can be
assigned to any of the SPC system outputs. These relay outputs can switch a
rated voltage of 30 V DC (non-inductive load).
Fig. 5 shows the wiring of an active high output. When the relay is activated, the
common terminal connection (COM) is switched from the Normally Closed terminal
(NC) to the Normally Open terminal (NO).
See Fig. 5: Wiring the door lock
Wiring the card readers
The SPCA210 has two card reader interfaces. One card reader can be connected
to each of the card reader interfaces. Specific Card readers with Clock & Data or
Wiegand interface can be connected (see SPC system data sheets for reader
compatibility).
Fig. 6 shows the wiring of a card reader.

Mounting expander in SPC hinged enclosure
The SPCA210 may also be installed in a hinged enclosure. This enclosure can
accommodate:
1 battery (17 Ah max.), 1 SPC controller and a possible 4 expanders (e. g.
I/O, door controller).
1 battery (17 Ah max.), 1 SPC PSU expander and a possible 3 expanders
(e. g. I/O, door controller).
To access or install an expander:
1. Open the front cover on the enclosure.
2. With an appropriate screwdriver loosen (but do not remove) the top two
screws on the mounting bracket.
3. Gently push the mounting bracket in an upward direction until the screws are
free from contact with the bracket.
4. Slowly but firmly pull the mounting bracket out until it rotates down and is
secured by the resting pins.
5. The underside of the mounting bracket and the enclosure provides space for
additional expanders to be installed (secured by 4 mounting pillars).
