LiftMaster CAPXLV2 Manual Overview

The LiftMaster CAPXLV2 Smart Video Intercom L (Model CAPXLV2, branded "myQ Community Smart Video Intercom L" on the manual's cover) is a cloud based access control intercom with a touchscreen display, camera, speaker, microphone, and proximity reader area. It has a main board and one or two door of control boards, and the manual says it can control up to 8 access points in total (up to 4 per door of control board). It supports Wiegand readers, OSDP readers, a built-in Security+ 2.0 receiver for wireless gate operator pairing, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth mobile credentials, and 24 V or PoE power.

LiftMaster's manual is organized in four parts after the introduction: (1) pre-install (myQ Community account and services), (2) install (knockouts, mounting, antennas, ground, power), (3) network, and (4) access control (gate and door wiring, readers, Wiegand output, postal lock, wiring diagram, parts, accessories). This page follows the same order. The manual has no troubleshooting chart or diagnostic code table, so this page has none either.

Main Board Overview

LiftMaster's main board overview (page 5) lists these inputs and outputs. Its illustration of the board is not reproduced here.

Swipe sideways to see all columns.

The illustration also labels the external RF cable bracket and a learn button on the edge of the vertical board.

Door of Control Board Overview

The CAPXLV2 has a combination of access control inputs and outputs on the door of control board(s) that work together to control up to 4 access points each, so the CAPXLV2 can control up to 8 access points in total (page 6). The ports are configurable.

Swipe sideways to see all columns.

Each door of control board has monitored inputs (1 to 4 on the first board and 5 to 8 on the second), relays (1 to 4 and 5 to 8), and Wiegand ports (1 and 2, and 3 and 4), plus a Wiegand output; one Wiegand output is labeled "for internal use only. Do not connect." Monitored inputs can operate as REX, Knox box, or status. Per the manual, only the 26-bit Wiegand protocol and OSDP protocol are compatible in UL installations, and the Wiegand 12V power output port must not power anything except the Wiegand proximity readers.

CAPXLV2 Wire Specifications

LiftMaster says to use this chart to pull wires in preparation for installation, and to check the national and local building codes BEFORE installation (page 9).

Swipe sideways to see all columns.

LiftMaster's notes: main power supply and control wiring MUST be run in separate conduits. Conduits must be UL approved for low and high voltage. Refer to the NEC for additional wiring requirements. Category 5e cabling is the minimum performance category recommended. Wiring shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70), local codes, and authorities having jurisdiction.

Always provide power from a dedicated source. Plug the provided transformer into an outlet wired to its own 10 Amp minimum circuit breaker. This prevents two problems: other equipment cannot introduce spikes, noise, surges, or dips into the power circuit that will affect the system, and the system's operation will not be affected if other equipment develops a short circuit across the power line.

Postal lock notes: the postal lock cable length shall not exceed 98.5 ft (30 m) for UL 294 compliance.

*CAT 5e/6 network cable notes: for outdoor distances exceeding 140 feet (42.7 m), a UL497 compliant primary surge protector MUST be installed at the CAPXLV2. Distances exceeding 328 feet (100 m) may be accommodated with additional hardware (available through third-party sources).

Mount the CAPXLV2 (Step 2)

• Ensure the cover can fully open to allow access after the installation is complete.
• Ensure that the back opening is properly sealed after the installation to avoid water or critters entering the intercom.
• ADA compliance: when mounting the CAPXLV2 at a pedestrian entrance, to meet ADA compliance, mount the top of the CAPXLV2 screen no higher than 54 inches from the ground.
• Do not exceed a maximum bolt length of 1.5 in. for the pedestal mount security bolt.
• For surface and recess mounting, use an appropriate bolt length that secures the CAPXLV2 to the surface completely. The length will vary with the surface of the wall.
• Make sure any internal wiring is inside the chassis before you close the front panel, to prevent any moisture from entering the chassis.

Swipe sideways to see all columns.

*For recess/surface mount applications, the recommended screw lengths are 13.54 mm, 16.56 mm, 19.72 mm, and 22.76 mm. LiftMaster's illustrations show a pedestal mount, a recess mount, and a surface mount.

Install Antennas (Step 3)

The Security+ 2.0 radio antenna and Wi-Fi antennas must be a minimum of 8 inches (20 cm) apart. Install the antennas on opposite sides of the CAPXLV2. Optional antenna cable kits are available for remote antenna mounting (see Accessories).

Source: LiftMaster manual, 114-5891-000 Rev. E, page 13.

Back to contents

Ground the Unit (Step 4)

Important (LiftMaster): the CAPXLV2 must always be connected to earth ground, whether by an earth ground rod or other means. An earth ground rod is strongly recommended and should be no further than 12 feet (3.7 m) from the CAPXLV2, using a minimum of 12 gauge wire in most cases. The type and length of earth ground rods vary by region. Contact the AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) in the municipality where you plan to install the CAPXLV2 for correct grounding materials and installation procedures. A proper ground is critical to minimizing the risk of damage to the CAPXLV2 from electrical transients.

• To AVOID damaging gas, power, or other underground utility lines, contact underground utility locating companies BEFORE digging.
• Use a PoE injector or router/switch with PoE PSE capability that complies with 802.3bt (Type 3 four wire class 5 compatible) and UL294, with output power of 42-55Vdc and 60 W (max) per port.

LiftMaster's illustration shows 12 AWG minimum ground wire to an earth ground rod, with other ground sources within 12 feet of the access control panel (the existing electrical system ground, or a metallic cold water pipe) and a maximum of 12 feet (3.7 m).

Connect Power (Step 5)

• When the power supply (low voltage) wiring leaves the enclosure, the wire must be rated for wet and damp locations.
• High voltage wiring must be run in a separate conduit from low voltage wiring.
• If the power supply is installed outdoors, it must have its own approved NEMA 4 rated weatherproof electrical enclosure. Use conduit from the power supply enclosure to the controller enclosure. Only the power supply and its input/output wire may be within that enclosure.

Connect Internet (Network Step 1)

The CAPXLV2 can connect to the internet with a wired Ethernet connection or with Wi-Fi (wireless). Make sure you are in Admin Mode before you connect. If you are not in Admin Mode, press the 3 dots in the upper right corner of the CAPXLV2 display, enter the Admin Code, enter the password (LiftMaster prints the default as 888888), press the Network tab on the display, press "NetworkSettings," and then the "Change Network Settings" button. Follow the instructions for your application.

Additional compatibility considerations (LiftMaster): when checking signal strength in CAPXLV2 admin mode, at least two bars are recommended. Use accessory WFBTEXT (Wi-Fi external antenna kit) and WFAEXT (15 ft Wi-Fi extension kit) to move the CAPXLV2 antenna higher up or to a location resulting in two or more bars. If using a Wi-Fi signal strength tool or app, a continuous signal strength of at least -65 dBm (numbers closer to zero are stronger) at the CAPXLV2 must be guaranteed to ensure an acceptable connection to the local network. Hidden network SSIDs are not supported; the network must be selectable from the CAPXLV2 display. Wi-Fi networks requiring secondary authentication (such as hotel and airport Wi-Fi) are not supported.

Validate Setup (Network Step 2)

On the display, select each tab in Admin Mode to validate the setup (network, inputs, outputs, and so on). Once you have validated the setup, exit Admin Mode.

All wiring pages say to disconnect power BEFORE making electrical connections. Input and output port functions can be configured through the myQ Community web portal. The diagrams are not reproduced on this page; use the original manual pages for terminal-level connections, and the notes below, which LiftMaster prints on the diagrams.

Gate Access, Wired (Page 17)

Gate access can be wired to Relay 1, 2, 3, or 4 on the door of control board. LiftMaster Security+ 2.0 gate operators can also be programmed to communicate wirelessly instead of using a wired connection (see Gate Access, Wireless). The labels on LiftMaster's example include: push button, gate operator, maglock, reader or keypad (12Vdc red, ground black, DATA 0 green, DATA 1 white, green LED orange, red LED brown), external free exit loop detector, request to exit, status (supervised, with an end-of-line resistor), primary relay, auxiliary relay (alarm bypass, light), and an RFID antenna with Wiegand output.

• Gate operator connection: connect to the gate operator's auxiliary closed limit switch; refer to the gate operator manual. The status (supervised) connection is not applicable for wireless gate operator connections.
• Maglock: use 18-22 AWG wire and a separate power supply (not provided). DO NOT use the controller's power supply. For DC power, install a 1N4005 diode or equivalent. For AC power, install a Siemens S10K30MOV (metal oxide varistor) (provided) or equivalent.
• End-of-line resistor: 1k ohm.
• RFID antenna: power it separately (power not provided); DO NOT use the controller's power supply.
• Wiring: keep the length of unshielded wires to a minimum to avoid electrical noise. For a KPR2000 keypad, wire the pink and black (ground) wires together.
• Light or load on the auxiliary relay: the diagram's labels include an isolation relay, a low voltage power supply, and the load, line, and neutral connections.
• UL evaluation: the maglock and alarm bypass were not evaluated by UL.
