1530 Old Oakland Road, Suite 10001827-001 Rev. D San Jose, CA 95112 USA (800) 260-5265 (408) 451-2520 FAX (408) 441-0309Page 1 of 6 MS-9000: MegaStar Reader The MS-9000 MegaStar Reader The MS-9000 MegaStar Reader is intended for installation in proximity applications where an extended read range is required. The reader provides an audio beeper and a multi colored LED to annunciate the reader's status when used on a PXL-250, PXL-100, or IntelliProx. β€’ Amber – to indicate normal operation awaiting an access event β€’ Green – to indicate a valid card has been presented or the door has been unlocked for access β€’ Red – to indicate an invalid card has been presented or the door is in an alarm condition The MS-9000 MegaStar Reader is housed in a black, weatherproof, shock resistant package. The reader provides optimum performance when mounted at least ten inches away from metal surfaces; read range is reduced if the reader is mounted on or near metal surfaces. Specifications Dimensions β€’ 8.50 inches High x 6.00 inches Wide x 0.75 inches Deep β€’ 21.59 cm High x 15.24 cm Wide x 1.91 cm Deep Figure 1 – MS-9000 Dimensions Quick Start Guide MS-9000 12.15" 1.90" Drill Cable Access Hole 0.375" (3/8") 6.00" to Cable Hole Center 1.35" D12.00" W 16.00" H 1.60" 8.85" Mounting Holes - 4x LED 7.50" to Cable Hole Center 1530 Old Oakland Road, Suite 10001827-001 Rev. D San Jose, CA 95112 USA (800) 260-5265 (408) 451-2520 FAX (408) 441-0309Page 2 of 6 MS-9000: MegaStar Reader Operating Voltage β€’ 12v to 24v DC @ 200 ma Cable Specifications β€’ up to 100 feet using six conductor, shielded, stranded AWG 24 wire β€’ up to 250 feet using six conductor, shielded, stranded AWG 22 wire β€’ up to 500 feet using six conductor, shielded, stranded AWG 18 wire Mounting Instructions Five holes need to be drilled to mount the MegaStar Reader (see Figure 1 on page 1). One hole (0.375" – 3/8") accommodates the reader cable. Four holes are for mounting the reader on a wall surface (hole size is dependent upon the size of the mounting screw – a 1/4" screw or bolt is recommended). For parking or related applications, the MegaStar Reader can be mounted to a metal "goose- neck" stand, provided the mounting surface on the stand is 4 inches x 4 inches or smaller. This size restriction on the stand's mounting surface ensures the metal in the stand does not affect the operation of the Reader. If the stand's mounting surface is greater than 4 inches x 4 inches a mounting plate made of nonmetallic material is required between the stand's mounting surface and the Reader to provide the necessary distance between Reader and metal to ensure optimum read range. Connections The MegaStar Reader does not require configuration; there are no switches or jumpers to set. The MegaStar Reader is normally connected to a PXL-250, PXL-100, or IntelliProx, but can be connected to an alternative host controller/alarm panel through an IntelliProx used in its Wiegand input device mode. All connections needed to support the reader are made through the reader's cable. Please consult the tables on pages 2 and 3 for specific connection instructions. PXL-250 Connections The "A" reader connects to TB5, pins 1 through 6 (TB5 has a seventh pin, but no connection is made to that pin).

The advantage to the 24 VDC supply is that the read range is increased by approximately 20%. Perform the following steps to use the 24 VDC power option. 1. Disconnect the power and ground leads from the controller or IntelliProx unit. 2. Connect the positive lead from the 24 VDC supply to the Red lead on the Reader cable. 3. Connect the negative lead from the 24 VDC supply to the Black lead on the Reader cable. 4. Connect the ground lead from the 24 VDC supply to the power ground on the controller or IntelliProx unit. β€’ TB2, p…

GENERAL INFORMATION Requirement:Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Certification under FCC Rule Part 15 (Technical Requirements: 15.205, 15.209) Applicant:Keri Systems Inc. 1530 Old Oakland Road, Suite 100 San Jose, CA 95112 Product ID:FCC ID: N42KERI2000 II. DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT UNDER TEST (EUT) The Keri Systems MS9000 is a tag reader employing a low level, 125 kHz RF magnetic field to activate a microchip embedded in a small plastic tag.. The activated chip transmits a unique pre-coded identification (ID) number back to the receiver. The EUT is DC powered only and exempt from the AC line conducted requirements of 15.207. III. TEST LOCATION All emissions tests were performed at: Compliance Consulting Services 1366 Bordeaux Avenue Sunnyvale, CA 94086 CCS is a NVLAP accredited test facility with 3 open air test sites (OATS). Three meter and 10 meter site attenuation data and test site descriptions are on file with the FCC. Radiated emissions testing was performed on a large open grassy area located between two of the sites. The open area extends for more than 200 meters. IV. TEST PROCEDURES AND RESULTS Radiated Emissions: Radiated emissions measurements were performed at several intermediate distances less than 300 m. Data points so obtained were plotted on semilog graph paper, and a best-fit straight line was extended to the 300 m mark of the graph, and the extrapolated emissions level was compared to the limit for each frequency. Data was taken up to 30 MHz. For each test location: Keri Systems Inc. page 8 of 9 pages FCC ID: N42KERI2000 1. The EUT was placed on a plastic cart approximately 90 cm above ground level. An RF tag was placed in the field of the EUT to verify proper EUT operation. The tag was left in place for the duration of the test. Refer to Figure 1 for test set-up. 2. The EUT was rotated, raised, and lowered in order to maximize received emissions. Maximum received emissions were achieved when the EUT loop antenna was in the same plane and at the same height as the receiving active loop antenna. 3. The reading for each frequency of emission was recorded and plotted on semilog graph paper. Figure 1.
