Prebuilding/Prewiring Access Controls with Coworker.

Thank you brother for your demonstration, is the magnetic getting its power from the controller board or the power supply?

[@lowvoltageghost888]

Power for the Maglock is coming from the M8 board. The Mercury Board triggers the M8, and M8 sends power to the lock in the field. Does this make sense buddy. So in case of a short, it blows the fuse from the M8 and no burns the Mercury Board.

What setup would you use for a 30 elevator building? Especially what software back end to be able to manage schedules on multiple banks? Thanks

[@lowvoltageghost888]

We use Genetec most of the time, but I have experienced systems with setups like this for Honeywell, Software House, and Lenel-S2. When we do card readers on elevators, they can potentially use the same software described above-mentioned. I can't speak on more details for the elevator controls because it's not my specialty. I hope this helps.

@@lowvoltageghost888 Thanks a lot. It definitely helps.

What do you guys generally use for power protection on the mains side?

[@lowvoltageghost888]

Everything is grounded and under fuses. In case of shortage.

[@trevormaness2089]

Do you guys use LifeSafety Power's ProWire option at all?

[@lowvoltageghost888]

It all depends on the sales guys. I prefer the ProWire myself, I don't know how much of a difference on price that is and if it's better to spend labor on a tech building it rather than ordering a ProWire.

@@lowvoltageghost888how long would you say it takes to wire a panel? Just curious, love the channel and that’s an interesting comment about the RS485 orientation

[@lowvoltageghost888]

Depends on the size of the system, but for this particular one, I think it should take a seasoned Tech less than 4 to 6 hrs
