Installation Guide for the Lenel OnGuard LNL-3300-M5 Intelligent System Controller The Lenel LNL-3300-M5 is a high-performance Intelligent System Controller (ISC) designed as a "plug-and-play" upgrade for legacy M5 Bridge enclosures. It provides a modern gateway for transitioning older Casi-Rusco systems to the OnGuard security management platform without requiring a complete rewiring of the facility. This guide covers the essential steps for a successful installation and initial configuration. 1. Hardware Overview and Specifications Before beginning the physical installation, ensure your environment meets the necessary requirements: Power Input: 12 to 24 VDC ± 10%, 500 mA maximum. Communication Ports: Primary Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) and two RS-485 ports. Memory: 15 MB of available on-board memory for database storage. Capacity: Supports up to 64 downstream devices (LNL-1300-M5, LNL-1100-M5, etc.). 2. Preparing for Installation Backup Data: Before replacing an existing controller, ensure all database records from the legacy system are backed up. Inspect the Enclosure: The LNL-3300-M5 is designed to fit the footprint of the legacy M5 / Micro5 controller. Verify that the standoffs in the existing enclosure are secure. Static Discharge: Always wear a grounded ESD wrist strap when handling the controller board to prevent permanent damage to the circuitry. 3. Physical Installation Steps Step A: Mounting the Board Place the LNL-3300-M5 onto the mounting standoffs within the M5 enclosure. Secure it using the provided screws. Ensure there is adequate clearance for wiring and that the board does not touch the metal sides of the box. Step B: Wiring the Power Connect the 12-24 VDC power source to the power input terminals (Vin and GND). Pro Tip: Use a dedicated, battery-backed power supply to ensure the controller remains operational during local power outages. Step C: Network and Serial Connectivity Ethernet: Connect a standard Cat5e/6 cable to the RJ45 port for communication with the OnGuard server. Downstream RS-485: Connect the existing M5 reader interface boards to the RS-485 ports (Port 1 and Port 2). Ensure proper termination if the LNL-3300-M5 is at the end of the communication line. 4. Configuring DIP Switches The LNL-3300-M5 uses DIP switches to define the hardware address and communication settings: Switches 1-5: Used to set the hardware address (in binary). Switch 6 & 7: Typically used for communication speed settings. Switch 8: Often used for a "bulk erase" or factory reset function when toggled during power-up. Refer to the specific revision of your LNL-3300-M5 silkscreen for the exact DIP switch table, as minor variations exist between firmware versions. 5. OnGuard Software Integration Once the hardware is powered and wired, you must add it to the OnGuard interface: Open System Administration . Navigate to the Access Control tab and select Panels . Add a new panel and select LNL-3300 as the type. Enter the IP Address assigned to the controller. Download the database to the panel to initialize communication. 6. Troubleshooting Common Issues No Communication: Check the Link/Activity LEDs on the Ethernet port. Ensure the Subnet Mask and Gateway on the controller match your network segment. Reader Offline: Verify the RS-485 wiring polarity (A vs B). If using legacy M5 boards, ensure they are addressed correctly within OnGuard. Memory Error: If the database fails to download, perform a memory clear using DIP switch 8 and try again. The LNL-3300-M5 is a robust solution for modernizing legacy infrastructure. By following these installation steps, you can ensure a stable and secure connection to your OnGuard ecosystem.

The Lenel LNL-3300-M5 Go to product viewer dialog for this item. is a high-performance Intelligent System Controller (ISC) designed for advanced access control within the OnGuard system . Specifically engineered as a migration tool, this board provides a "plug compatible" replacement for legacy CASI M5 and M3000 controllers, allowing users to upgrade legacy systems to the modern OnGuard platform without rewiring field devices. Key Specifications and Hardware Overview LNL-3300-M5 serves as the central processing unit for the controller, managing real-time access decisions and communication with the host software. Power Requirements : Supports 12 or 24 VDC ( ±plus or minus Memory : Includes 15 MB of on-board non-volatile flash memory and battery-backed storage for up to 50,000 events. Capacity : Can support up to 32 board addresses and manage up to 64 downstream devices. Communication : Primary communication is via a 10/100Base-T Ethernet port. It also features secondary ports for RS-485 or RS-232 communication. Installation and Migration Process The installation of the LNL-3300-M5 is primarily focused on replacing legacy boards in an existing M5 or M3000 backplane. Power Down : Safely power off the legacy controller and disconnect all power sources. Unplug Field Wiring : Remove the wiring from the legacy CPU and Power/Comm boards. Board Replacement : Remove the legacy CASI boards and insert the LNL-3300-M5 . It is designed to fit standard mounting standoffs. Reconnect Wiring : Plug field wiring back into the compatible terminals on the LNL-3300-M5 Grounding : Ensure the board is properly grounded to protect against Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and signal transients. Initial Web Configuration and IP Setup To configure the controller for the first time, you must access its internal web configuration page. Network Preparation : Set your computer's IP address to the 192.168.0.x range (excluding .251 ) to match the panel's default IP of 192.168.0.251 . DIP Switch Settings : To enter configuration mode: Set DIP switch 1 OFF , 2 ON , 3 OFF , and 4 OFF , then cycle power. To enable default login: Once at the login screen, turn switch 1 ON to use the default credentials (username: admin , password: password ). Access : Open a web browser (Internet Explorer is traditionally recommended) and navigate to http://192.168.0.251 . Save and Reboot : After applying static IP or DHCP settings, return all DIP switches to the OFF position (normal operating mode) and click Apply Settings and Reboot . DIP Switch Reference Table Operating Mode Normal operating mode Enable default User Name/Password Use factory default communication parameters

In Lenel documentation, "UPD" often refers to a specific hardware revision or is a typo for "Update," but most commonly users searching for this combination are looking for the "Overlay" board installation which sits on top of the main board, or the physical mounting of the board within the enclosure. Here is the relevant installation information extracted from standard Lenel LNL-3300M5 technical guides regarding the top assembly and terminal connections. 1. Mounting the Controller (Enclosure & Top Board) The LNL-3300M5 is designed to be mounted inside a standard Lenel enclosure (typically the NEMA 1 or NEMA 4 backbox).

Main Board: The main controller board is typically mounted on standoffs inside the enclosure. Terminal Overlay Board (TOP): The LNL-3300M5 features a removable Terminal Overlay Board. This board provides the screw terminals for field wiring (Reader, Lock, REX, etc.). lenel lnl3300m5 installation manual upd top

Installation: Align the Terminal Overlay Board with the standoffs on the main controller. Press down gently until the connectors mate securely and the board sits flush. Purpose: This design allows for easier wiring and allows the main board to be serviced or swapped without disconnecting the field wiring (by removing the Overlay Board).
