▪ Connect additional cables from the same power supply to Data Channel 1 – 2 Power In Devices 1 – 8 to
Power In Devices 9 – 16 as needed power peripheral devices.
Power method 2 - Multiple Power Supplies
Utilize multiple UL Listed Power Limited power supplies:
â–ª Connect one power supply to Main Power In to power bright blue
▪ Connect additional power supplies to Data Channel 1 – 2 Power In Devices 1 – 8 to Power In Devices 9 –
16 as needed power peripheral devices.
LED power indicators are provided for each Power In connection and Main Power In VBB connection
Configuration Guidelines
â–ª The bright blue controller has 2 data channels to connect devices via an RS-485 communication protocol
and 2 reader interfaces (Channel 0) supporting Wiegand or Magstripe reader heads. Each RS-485 data
channel port can support up to 16 devices. A total of 32 devices for all channels can be connected to bright
blue.
â–ª bright blue channels will provide power to the connecting devices. Each RS-485 data channel is divided
into 2 rows that will provide power and communication to 8 devices. Each row will be labeled for devices 1 -
8 and 9 - 16 respectively.
â–ª Each row of the RS-485 data channels provides either 12VDC or 24VDC to the connected devices
depending on what type of power supply is provided for that row of the data channel.
â–ª bright blue allows different types of RS-485 devices (VBB-RI, AD-300, VIP, AD-400 Wireless) to use the
same data channel.
â–ª Every device must be connected back to the proper device number where the RS-485 communication and
power will be provided.
â–ª A UL Listed Power Limited, Power Supply capable of 4 hours standby power will be needed for each of the
4 sections that will provide power to the external devices.
â–ª Please refer to power requirements for each device connecting to bright blue.
â–ª Devices may be powered independently of bright blue with a local power source.
