OVERVIEW iSTAR Edge is a smaller, cost effective, two reader iSTAR that can be powered
over its Ethernet connection using Power over Ethernet (PoE), and is suitable
for placement above or near the door. iSTAR Edge can be clustered with other
iSTAR Edges and iSTAR eX’s.
Figure 1 shows a photograph of the iSTAR Edge with an optional PoE board
along with I8 and R8 modules mounted on the door.

Main Features Main features of iSTAR Edge include:
Storage
> 250k cards.
64 MB of RAM.
128 MB of onboard flash.
Power
Powered by
Ethernet connection: PoE or PoE Plus using optional add-on board
(EdgePower) or
apS or other 12/24VDC external power source.
Provides power for:
Wiegand readers
RS-485 ports
Two 2-pin Aux 12VDC power connectors for PIRs and motion sensors.
Provides optional power to relays:
Upon loss of external power, data is written to onboard flash.
Four onboard non-rechargeable alkaline AA batteries provide power for
the backup process and maintaining the clock afterwards.
Backup is valid for > 3 days, the period the onboard batteries can
maintain the clock.
Readers
2 readers total.
2 Wiegand connectors are available.
2 RM Readers are available to be configured.
3 RS-485 serial ports are available.
Readers can be any combination of 2 from Wiegand ports and/or RMs
on any of 3 serial ports.
NOTE Onboard battery backup was tested for 3 days, but will last for weeks in
actual practice.

Pre-Installation Planning

Housing
Optional metal enclosure (12” x 12” x 4”) with lock and tamper switch is
slightly smaller than the RM-DCM-2 enclosure.
iSTAR Edge board is mountable in existing apC/L enclosures.
Compliance
FCC, CE, EN50133, IEC60950 by CB Scheme (International Safety) & RoHS.
PRE-INSTALLATION
PLANNING
Pre-installation involves the following:
1. Checking equipment (hardware, software, power supply, and wiring).
2. Checking power, wiring, equipment clearances, and code compliance at the
site.
3. Ensuring the proper tools are available.
Equipment Check Verify that the contents of the shipped boxes match the packing lists. Contact
Software House if any items are missing or damaged.
The iSTAR Edge hardware does not include mounting hardware for an
installation. Mounting hardware depends upon the site and must be approved
by a structural engineer or other certified professional.
Software House recommends anchoring systems capable of sustaining a 20 lb.
load.
Site Check Ensure that the mounting site is ready:
Mounting dimensions
• The can is 12” by 12” (30.48 x 30.48 cm)
• Upper mounting holes are 9" (22.86 cm) center to center.
• Bottom mounting holes are 10.5" (26.67 cm) below the upper mount
holes.
The site has been approved and all wiring complies with UL requirements
and other codes, as appropriate.
All preliminary site work is complete.
An appropriate power supply is accessible.
The site is clean and free of dust or other contaminants.

iSTAR Edge Mounting Requirements
The mounting dimensions and board overlay are shown in Figure 3.
FIGURE 3. Mounting Requirements
Voltage Requirements
and Distance
To operate properly, each reader must conform to voltage requirements.
A standard RM Series Reader or RM-4 board requires at least 7.5 volts.
An RM-4E board requires at least 11 volts.
Most Wiegand readers require a minimum of 9 volts
The iSTAR Edge supplies 12 volts at its reader connectors; however, the amount
of voltage that reaches the reader is impacted by the following:
– Number of devices on the bus
– Current draw of each device

– Wiring length between the devices and iSTAR Edge
– Wire gauge that connects the devices
– State of the battery (if running on apS)
– The tolerance if sourced by an external power supply
To determine the maximum distance of a reader from an iSTAR Edge, calculate
the voltage that reaches each reader. If the voltage is insufficient, you can
shorten the wire length, use a heavier wire, or add a UL294 local power-limited
power supply.
Wire resistance is as follows:
• 24 AWG = 26.0 Ω per 1000 ft.
• 22 AWG = 16.5 Ω per 1000 ft.
• 20 AWG = 10.2 Ω per 1000 ft.
• 18 AWG = 6.5 Ω per 1000 ft.
Installation Tools Antistatic floor mat, tabletop mat, and wrist strap.
Standard tool kit
3/32" (2.4 mm) screwdriver
Security screwdriver (contact Software House)
Small needle nose pliers; small Phillips screwdriver; wire strippers
5/16" (#10) nut driver (for securing shield wires to a ground stud)

Environmental
Requirements
Table 2 shows the iSTAR Edge environmental requirements.
Power Requirements The standard iSTAR Edge uses a UL Listed 603 External Power Supply, such as
the Software House apS or uses a Power Over Ethernet (PoE or PoE+) injector.
To ensure adequate power, calculate the total power requirements of iSTAR
Edge and its related hardware, as follows.
Add the total current power for components in the system (modules, relays,
optional modules, readers, and wire resistance).
Tables 3 through 6 are provided to compute the current draw of components
attached to iSTAR Edge.
