Ensure there is a provision for a ground circuit. The Aperio Door Controller assembly must be grounded by a qualified

electrician. An improperly grounded unit can result in equipment malfunction and void the warranty.
Use the latest Aperio Door Controller System controller firmware. Mircom periodically updates panel firmware and

Configurator Software to add features and correct any minor inconsistencies. For information about the latest firmware
or software visit the Manuals and Downloads section of the Mircom website at www.mircom.com.

Wiring requirements
Install all transformers outside the Lobby Control Unit enclosure.
Unless specified otherwise, all wiring is a maximum length of 1000 ft. The RS-485 wiring maximum length is 4000 ft.
All units use the PS-4P transformer for the power supply. The door strike power supply depends on the door strike

4. Connect the controller supply.

Ensure that your PC is set with the correct date and time.

To Start the Configuration

1. Connect the PC to the controller using the USB port or modem connection.
2. Launch the Configurator and select the correct controller you are connecting to (on the basis of name, panel label, panel
model, and network address).
3. Click Connect. The connection icon appears in the Configurator tool bar.
4. Ensure that the panel is configured with the correct date and time.
5. Configure the Aperio Door Controller using the instructions in the LT-1160 Installation and Operation Manual.
