ACCESS CONTRO L DIVISION RM Installation Guide This document is a preliminary guide to properly installing your RM1, RM2, or RM3 reader, and assumes familiarity with the older Sensormatic MRM readers and installation procedures contained in the apC Technical Manual, UM-009-F, the apC8/X Technical Manual, UM-010-C, or the apC/L Technical Manual, UM-025-C. RM Grounding A grounding lug is provided on the RM board at J5, to which a local earth ground should be attached. A push-on connector is provided, which should be crimped on to an 18 to 22 AWG size wire that is connected to a suitable earth ground such as a cold water pipe or the ground conductor at a nearby power outlet. Push the connector on to the lug at J5. The keypad has an electrostatic discharge (ESD) tail that should go under the screw next to J5 to provide a path to earth ground for any static discharge that may enter the RM through normal keypad entry operation. The earth ground at J5 is essential for proper operation of the keypad’s ESD protection layer. Using the Auxiliary Relay Module (ARM) Two ARMs may be connected to an RM through the P5 connector, as opposed to the single ARM support found in the MRM series readers. P5-1 is the common pin for either ARM, and P5-2 is the output drive for the first relay, and P5-3 is the output drive for the second relay. Wiring from the ARM to the RM should be as follows: ARM 1PR-1 to RM P5-1 P2-2 to RM P5-2 ARM 2P2-1 to RM P5-1 P2-2 to RM P5-3 SW3 Settings 1. The reader type, Wiegand or Magnetic, is set by SW3-1. The switch is preset for the type of reader installed in the RM housing. The switch is in the OPEN or OFF position for magnetic readers, and in the CLOSED or ON position for Wiegand output compatible readers. Caution – Important Static Electricity Precautions 1. Before handling any components, discharge your body’s static charge by touching a grounded surface. 2. Wear a grounding wrist strap and work on a grounded static protection surface. 3. Do not slide the RM module over any surface. ACCESS CONTRO L DIVISION 2. If an LCD display is not present, SW3-2 must be in the CLOSED or ON position. The RM4 configuration must have the switch in this position to work properly in this instance. 3. SW3-3 and SW3-6 control the functioning of the LEDs as follows: a. When the internal LED bar provided as part of the RM1, RM2, or RM3 housings is being used, both SW3-3 and SW3-6 must be in the OPEN or OFF position. b. When an external reader is being used with an RM4 module, SW3-3 should be in the CLOSED or ON position and SW3-6 must be OPEN or OFF to control single or two-wire controlled bi-color LEDs. i. For a 2-wire controlled bi-color LED, connect J4-2 to the wire controlling the red LED, and J4-4 to the wire controlling the green LED. ii. For a single wire controlled bi-color LED, connect J4-3 to the LED wire. iii. For a single color LED with only an ON or OFF state, SW3-6 must be CLOSED or ON and the control wire connected to J4-3. This connection simulates the MRM method of tying J4-2 and J4-4 together. 4. When SW3-4 is CLOSED or ON, the tamper switch is bypassed. This switch should be set in this position for RM4 modules as well as during testing of RM1 and RM2 readers. 5. SW3-5 is the end-of-line termination switch, and must be set to the CLOSED or ON position if the reader is the only reader connected to an apC port or is the last reader on a particular string of readers. Additional Connection Pin on J3 – Pin 6 The MRMs had only five pins on this connector, which provides an interface to various reader modules, and can provide +5V power directly to an attached reader without requiring wiring to other MRM connectors to provide +12V power. Pin J3-6 provides the +12V power for the Indala and Hughes modules, which may be installed in the RM, without requiring a separate wire for the +12V. ACCESS CONTRO L DIVISION Installing EMI Suppression Beads Supplied with the SCR-100 SmartCard Reader Two clamp-on ferrite chokes are included in the installation kit in order to meet current emissions standards. These are the familiar “Snap-on” Split-Ferrite Beads. North America To meet FCC (American) and Industry Canada requirements, the larger split bead must be placed on the AC Power Cable of the Access Control Panel connected to the SCR-100 SmartCard Reader to assure that the Radio-Frequency energy will not be coupled into the AC Power Line. Install the bead inside the enclosure, near the power supply, as shown below. The jacket must be removed to allow the wires to pass through the bead two times. The line, neutral, and safety ground wires must be included in this turn. If several SCR-100 Readers are used, only one bead is required. Open the bead by gently prying the latch with a thumbnail or small screwdriver. Loop the wiring as shown, then place the bead over the wires and gently squeeze shut until the latch snaps shut, indicating that the cable has been correctly covered. NOTE Verify that the bead is snapped closed, as it does not provide the required suppression otherwise. ACCESS CONTRO L DIVISION European Union To assure that the installed SCR-100 SmartCard Reader does not exceed the ETSI limits for radio-frequency emissions, please install the small high-frequency ferrite bead on the Reader Data line near the Reader Unit as shown below.

State Road 45 P.O. Box 370 Newberry, Florida 32669 USA Re: Request for withholding from public disclosure proprietary information submitted pursuant to an application for certification for a low power transmitter. FCC ID: BVCACDRM-13M Dear Sir or Madam: Sensormatic Electronics Corporation requests certain materials submitted with this application for certification of BVCACDRM-13M device be withheld from public disclosure. This request is made under the provision of 47 CFR 0.457 (d) and 5 USC 552(b)(4) Freedom of Information Act, Trade Secrets. The items for which confidentiality is requested include the block diagram, schematic diagrams and printed circuit card photos. The information contains proprietary information (trade secrets) regarding the circuit operation and capabilities (specific values of components, circuit design details and system architecture) which are the result of our extensive investment in research and development. Without the disclosed information, competitive organizations would take considerable more time to assess and develop a workable competitive product. As a result, we believe that disclosure of these company-guarded materials would compromise our leading position in this market. The equipment is installed and maintained by Sensormatic authorized and trained individuals. The circuitry is not directly viewable by the public or the users during use or after use. We therefore formally request that the materials indicated “Confidential” be kept strictly confidential and not made available for inspections by any other party, except on a need to know basis for the sole purpose of the certification process. Sincerely, Donald J. Umbdenstock Sr. Principal Engineer, Compliance Engineering

Band Edge Measurement Don Umbdenstock 2/28/03 The “marker high” function was used to establish the fundamental frequency. “Marker center frequency” was used to center the emission in the display, thus indicating a center frequency of 13.565 MHz. The relative level of the carrier is 67.6 dB. The marker was then positioned at 13.41 MHz, the high side of the restricted band. The level indicated at the marker is 39.4 dB or -28.2 dBc. Comparing restricted band data to the data previously submitted for the carrier (attached on the following page for your convenience), we see that the restricted band edge level is 39.9 – 28.2 = 11.2 dBuV/m @ 30m The limit is 30 uV/m or 29.5 dBuV/m @ 30m; therefore there is a margin of 18.3 dB. The restricted band edge closest to 13.56 is located at 13.41 MHz. The highest low-side out-of-band signal occurs at 13.345 MHz, or 215 kHz below the carrier, out side of the restricted band. Band-Edge Measurement Out-Of-Band Measurement Part B Radiated Emissions Date Tested: 01/24/01 GemPlus Reader was placed on 1m high tabletop. (A box concrete block was placed on tabletop). An apc/8X panel (placed on turntable) powered the reader at 120vac 60hz for FCC readings. A plug-in transformer was used to power the reader at 230vac50hz for ETSI readings. The loop antenna (ALP70 N-S orientation used) was placed on tripod 1m from floor to center of loop for FCC measurements and 1m from floor to bottom of loop for ETSI. A Bicon (EMCO 3110B s/n 3380 E-W orientation) was used for frequencies above 30Mhz. 1-4m v/h. A distance of 3m was maintained between antenna and EUT. Engineer: Ray Kozak EMC Staff: S. Krizmanich, D.

The ACD/RM-13M reader consists of a 3 rd party transmitting element not covered by the FCC “modular approach” and digital interface circuitry. The 3 rd party product was previously approved under FCC ID: MES680SGEL. The reader transmits a pulse at 13.56 MHz, then receives a signal from an access control card in close proximity to the reader. The data from the card is then routed via the interface circuitry to an access control panel. DC Power to energize the reader is provided by the host access control panel. The product tested was a pre-production unit built to production drawings. 15.203. The antenna is contained internally and is permanently attached, thus it is compliant with the requirements of this clause. III. Conducted Emissions Conducted emissions data are presented in Section VII “Data”, Part A “Conducted Emissions”. The product demonstrated compliance with the requirements of 15.207. The product was tested at 120 V, 60 Hz. FCC ID: BVCACDRM-13M 5 IV. Magnetic Field Radiated Emissions Radiated emissions data for this product are presented in Section VII “Data”, Part B “Radiated Emissions”. The product demonstrated compliance with the requirements of 15.225 and 15.209. Radiated emissions measurements were performed at 3 meters. Propagation loss was determined measuring the emissions at 3 meters and extrapolating the results to 30 meters as required using linear extrapolation. Maximum radiation was determined by first assessing symmetry while applying incremental rotation of the turntable. The product exhibited quadrant symmetry. Measurements were taken at radials of 22.5° throughout one quadrant; the measurement antenna was rotated for maximum pickup about the vertical axis of the measurement antenna at each radial. The maximum emission was determined to be with the measurement loop antenna in the vertical polarization, parallel to the plane of the transmit antenna. The product was tested at input voltages to the transformer ranging from 102 – 138 V, 60 Hz with no measurable change in transmitter output. Stability under temperature extremes was verified with the original submission under FCC ID: MES680SGEL. V. (This section intentionally left blank) FCC ID: BVCACDRM-13M 6 VI.
