Power requirements
IEI eMerge systems must be AC powered using the grounded plug-in transformer provided.
Power should come from a circuit with an isolated ground and must be wired to the power
supply mounted inside the eMerge cabinet.
Transformer Input: 120 V AC 60 Hz 48W.
Transformer Output: 16.5V AC 2400mA.
The IEI eMerge includes a DC power supply. The eMerge power supply provides 12V DC at
3.3 amps.
The recommended battery which is not included 12V DC, 7 AH, SLA (sealed lead acid).
CAUTION!!! MAKE SURE ALL POWER IS OFF BEFORE CONNECTING OR
DISCONNECTING MODULES IN THE IEI eMerge.

Installing board in panel
1.
Power down the eMerge.
2.
Thread the standoff tube provided down onto the threaded post on the chassis next to the slot where you will
insert the additional module.
Be sure that you are grounded and insert the additional module into the slot on the chassis with the ribbon cable
connector toward the left of the eMerge cabinet. See diagram below.
3.
4.
Place the lock washer provided over the top of the standoff and thread the screw provided through the flange
and down into the top of the standoff and snugly down onto the lock washer. See diagram below.
5.
Connect the ribbon cable from the Controller/Node module in the topmost slot to the newly installed module. The
connector is polarized. Make sure that the center bump fits into the opening for it on the connector on the
module. Press the connector firmly into place until you hear the click of the extraction levers snapping into
vertical position. You may have to press the extraction levers into full vertical position before you will hear the
click.

Ribbon cable
Slot numbers are determined by the connector on the ribbon cable that is plugged into the module.
The ribbon cable (see diagram below) is a bus and a module’s place on the bus determines the slot
number. You will see that it is possible to place a module in physical slot 5 and yet attach ribbon cable
connector 6 to the module. If this occurs the module will be in slot 6 on the bus.

Wiring Weigand readers
CAUTION!!! Each eMerge Access module can supply a total of 400 milliamps
of power for readers. If the reader(s) connected to the Access module draw
more than 400 milliamps then external power must be supplied to these
readers.

The maximum distance for wiring weigand devices to
the access board is 500 Ft.
For distances longer then 500 ft. you need to use an additional
expansion node with acm or there are 3rd party devises made
to extend the distance.

Supervised Inputs wiring
The inputs on the eMerge panel are supervised that allows the panel to monitor
the status including if the input is in a normal state, alarmed or triggered, and if
the wires before the devise is shorted or the same is opened.

The dry contact relay is wired up as
shown we show using a DC power
supply for the lock. A diode is used
for dc this is so the relay does not
fail prematurely from a voltage
spike from the lockset. When
using AC voltage use a mov SNRD56k2 or equivalent. Diodes and
movs are supplyed with the access
boards and output boards.

Connecting to the network
When connecting to the
controller board use a patch
cord. A router or DHCP server
needs to be connected so the
node will get an IP address
issued through DHCP.
