Learn how to wire a Verkada TD52 Video Intercom

Updated over a week ago

The Verkada TD52 Video Intercom provides a Power over Ethernet (POE) port to enable communication with your Verkada Command dashboard and 3 input/output (I/O) ports.

Wire the TD52 into your network

Required. The TD52 requires a (PoE/PoE+)-enabled switch port.

Power: 11.5W (IEEE 802.3af PoE)

Extended Temperature Range: 25.5W (IEEE 802.3at PoE)

The back of the TD52 has an I/O cover is secured by 4 screws that hold the I/O cover in place.

1.Using a #2 Phillips head, remove these 4 screws.

2.Plug the the Ethernet cable to provide power to the Intercom.
3.Remove the rubber grommets (circular components) using the included grommet punch. The Ethernet chord goes through the grommet to create a water tight seal.

The intercom should power on and the status LEDs display on the face of the Intercom. Read about what each LED status indicates.

Wire the I/O port

The TD52 provides space in the I/O port for 2 inputs and 1 output.

Input device options Output device options
• Call triggers
• Door Position Indicator (DPI)
• Request to Exit (REX)
• Door unlocks
• Chime
• Call in progress

Example: I/O ports when the cover is removed

Each I/O port corresponds to the following pins from left to right:

To simplify the I/O port wiring, remove the I/O terminal. You can use a Torx security screwdriver provided in the box or any tool that allows you to lever the terminal away from the device.

Wire an input device

Looking at the I/O terminal, the 3 ports closest to the right are for inputs:

• IN2 (Pin 10)
• IN1 (Pin 9)
• GND (Pin 8)

screenshot2023 02 03at00 29 48

1.Choose which port(s) the input(s) to wired into.

Note the number input; this corresponds to an input number in your Intercom settings. For example, a door position indicator (DPI) wired into IN1/Pin 9 and a Request to Exit (REX) wired into IN2/Pin 10.

2.Press and hold the orange push button to insert the second wire of input device into ground (Pin 8/GND).
◦ You can use the same ground port when 2 inputs are installed.
◦ The example shown is an Intercom I/O terminal with 2 input devices attached, both of them using the same ground port.

Example wiring scenarios

REX / Call Trigger

6749104 rex 680w

Door Contact / DPI

6749104 dpi

Required. When wiring an Intercom as an access controller, you must wire the REX into Input 2 (IN2) and DPI into Input 1 (IN1).

Power your input device using an external power supply

To wire using an external power supply, take the positive (+) and negative (–) wires from the input device and then wire it into the power source.

Wire an output device

Looking at the I/O board, the 3 ports closest to the left:

• NO (Pin 1)
• COM (Pin 2)
• NC (Pin 3)

image 680w494h

1.Using the orange push button on the terminal block, insert the negative wire (–) into COM (Pin 2). This wire will be inserted into the ground (GND) or negative (–) on your output device.
2.Determine what relay state the output device requires to be triggered, then use the orange push button to insert the second wire into Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC).
◦ If the output device expects NO, then put the ‘+’ wire into NO/Pin 1.
◦ If the output device expects NC, then put the ‘+’ wire into NC/Pin 2.
◦ This wire will be inserted into the input (IN) or positive (+) on your output device.
3.Select the appropriate output setting for the output in the Verkada Command dashboard.

Note: The TD52 uses a dry relay, which means that it cannot power an output device. All output devices that require power need to use an external power controller or power supply.

Wire a reader

Learn how to wire a reader to an Intercom and use it as a 1-door access controller.

Example wiring scenarios

Door unlock

The door unlock allows for the output relay to trigger when an unlock is sent from the receiver. In both wiring scenarios, the lock is attached to an access power controller.

TD52 Status LEDs

TD52 Status LEDs

Learn more about the LED status for a Verkada TD52 Video Intercom

Updated over a week ago

The Verkada TD52 Video Intercom uses 2 sets of LED status lights:

• 1 blue LED (located above the camera)—Indicates the current status of the unit. The camera continues to record, regardless of if its visibility in Verkada Command.
• 6 white LEDs (located above the call button)—Indicates the stage of the Intercom in the setup process.

Status LEDs

The LED status light consists of the following states:

• Solid orange—Booting up
• Flashing orange—Updating firmware
• Flashing blue—Establishing network connection
• Solid blue—Fully healthy
• Flashing pink—Identify

Example: Fully online and healthy Intercom

Setup progression for status LEDs

When you first turn on the Intercom, a white LED appears. The LEDs progresses as the setup progresses (up to 5 additional LEDs light up). These status LEDs are essentially a progress bar to indicate how far along the Intercom is in first coming online.

The LEDs indicate the following states:

• Boot up
• Looking for IP address
• Connecting to Verkada
• Intercom connected and authenticating
• Intercom connecting to Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
• Receiver setup

Note: The status bar does not persist after the Intercom is fully configured. The status bar only appears again, after it is decommissioned, and then added back to Command.

Before you begin

Set up your hardware before you begin the Verkada Command setup.

Verkada reader

The Verkada TD52 Video Intercom is rated to power Verkada readers at 12V and 250mA via the (+) and (–) connection.

Recommendation. We recommend to connect the drain wire to earth ground at the reader side.

Note: Avoid using 12V power to power other peripheral devices, as it has latch-off current limiting.

Inputs

The TD52 has 2 general-purpose dry inputs. The default input state (Normally Closed [NC] or Normally Open [NO]) for each can be configured in Verkada Command.

Connections

For each input, you should connect 1 wire to the IN pin, and the other to the GND pin. You can connect any device with a dry relay output to these ports, such as door position indicator (DPI), request to exit (REX) sensor, intercom, or access control output. All associated events are logged in Command. Learn more about how to wire the input device.

Output

The TD52 has 1 dry form C relay output that you can configure as an access controller (AC) by connecting an access power controller to the output terminal, as detailed below.

Connections

You can also use the output relay as a general-purpose output.

• For fail safe locks, you should connect + to NC to be locked, by default.
• For fail secure locks, you should connect + to NO to be locked, by default.
