  • Color
    Series 3 boards are red.
    Series 2 and series 1 boards are green.
  • LEDs
    Series 3 and 2 boards have LEDs mounted flush to the board. These LEDs are much brighter than the LEDs on series 1 boards.
    Series 1 boards have LEDs shaped like small bulbs. The LEDs are dim and sometimes they are difficult to see when lit.
  • Address settings
    The LNL-1300 Series 3 has a switch block to set addresses.
    Series 2 and series 1 boards set addresses with jumpers.
  • Firmware revisions change for series versions of the same board model. This particularly applies to LNL-1300 and LNL-1320 reader interface modules. Consult the "Lenel Access Control Hardware" compatibility chart on the Partner Center, located at the following address, to determine correct versions of firmware:
