Connecting the AD-300 to the Controller​

  1. Connect the RS485 from the AD-300 TDA- to the TR+ (Clk) of the Mercury controller and the TDB+ to the TR- (Data) of the Mercury controller.
  2. Connect the AS-300 power pair to a 12V 250mA power source or install batteries

Configuring AD-300​

  1. Use the Schlage SUS door configuration utility to set the RS485 comm address and other variables, like card technology etc.
  • Link to how to use Schlage SUS document (SUS User Guide 6.3.3.pdf) - Shaun to take care of.  Download AD-300 User Guide
  1. Set "Direct Communication to the host" on the AD-300
  2. Set comm address to match address defined in BluSKY.
  3. The first AD-300 should be set to Comm address 01.

Configure the AD-300 in BluSKY​

  1. Define a controller (Point to controller BluINFO article)
  2. Change default RS485 baud rate to 9600
  3. Save
  4. Creating SIO board
  5. Board Type: AD300Lock
  6. Set Comm Address to the setting created in "Configuring AD-300" section above.
  7. Save
  8. Create 1 Output
  9. Create 1 Reader
  10. Create 2 inputs (DPS and REX)
  11. DPS normally closed
  12. REX normally open
  13. Create Portal
  14. Sync controller

Note: You can mix AD-300 and PIM400 on the same RS-485 chain provided that they have different comm addresses.  Do not connect any other board types to this RS-485 chain.
