Pyramid Series Proximity Readers 2177 Leghorn Street 01566-002 Rev. 1.2 Mountain View, CA 94043-1605 USAPage 1 of 22 Tel: +1-650-964-2615 Fax: +1-650-988-6687 Web: http://www.pyramidseries.com E-mail: [email protected] Pyramid Series Product Manual The Pyramid Series Proximity line of OEM Proximity Readers can be used with virtually any manufacturer's access panel because the readers produce industry standard pass-through Wiegand (26-bit or custom formats) or magnetic stripe output. Readers can be configured to work with access panels using either single or dual LED control lines. Optionally, Pyramid Series readers can be configured in the factory to read standard formatted HID credentials 1 . Pyramid Series readers are able to read the following Pyramid Series credentials. • PSC-1 Standard Light Proximity Cards • PSM-2 Multi Technology Cards •PSK-3 Proximity Key Tags When a card or tag is read, a Pyramid Series reader immediately responds with a beep and an LED flash 2 . The access panel then handles subsequent LED and beeper responses. Both the beep and the flash in this "Beep-n-Flash" feature can be disabled. Pyramid Series readers also feature built-in diagnostics: a start-up self test to ensure reader functionality and a data line test to ensure reader/access panel communication. The Pyramid Series features five readers, each with its own unique characteristics, to meet virtually any requirements an end-user may have. •The P-300 Cascade Proximity Reader is intended for installation on a window mullion or a door frame, in proximity applications where an unobtrusive reader is required. It can be mounted on metal or non-metal surfaces without loss of read range. •The P-400 Gibraltar Proximity Reader is intended for mounting on a flat surface or a solid metal surface, in proximity applications where a vandal-resistant reader is required. •The P-500 Alps Proximity Reader is intended for mounting on a flat non-metal surface or on a standard U.S. single-gang electrical box (if the electrical box is metal, the provided standoff must be used). •The P-600 Rocky Proximity Reader and Keypad combines a Pyramid Series reader and a stainless steel Essex Keypad TM into one attractive package. The P-600 reader can be used in applications requiring single verification, either via proximity access or PIN, but it is typically used in applications requiring dual verification - an individual requesting access to a secure area must have both a valid proximity access 1. See Section 1.0 HID Compatibility for more information. 2. The P-400 Gibraltar Proximity Reader does not have an LED to maximize its vandal resistance.

To use the P-600 reader for dual verification the access panel must be capable of handling the Wiegand format for the proximity section and either the 8-bit burst or 26-bit Wiegand format for the keypad section. The P-600 is designed for mounting on a flat, non-metal surface or on a standard U.S. single-gang electrical box. •The P-700 Yukon Reader is intended for mounting where a longer read range contributes to the convenience of the access system; such as parking lots, employee entrances, and physically challenged (ADA requirement) access applications. Due to the reader’s longer read range, care must be taken in mounting the reader in environments where metal and sources of electromagnetic or radio frequency interference is present. The electronics for the P-300, P-500, P-600, and P-700 readers is housed in a weatherproof, shock resistant package. This package is mounted to the installation surface. An attractive, snap-on, scratch-resistant, black or off-white front cover hides the electronics package and installation mounting hardware providing an extra level of security. The electronics for the P-400 reader is housed in a stainless steel package, designed to be weather, vandal, and bullet resistant.

It is a basic reference to ensure all connections are properly made. See the appropriate Product Manual for detailed information on installing Pyramid Series Readers or Cobra Readers (such as the P-300, P-500, P-640, P-700, or EM-30, EM-50, EM-64). These documents may be downloaded from the Farpointe Data website found at www.pyramidseries.com; under Support > Technical Documents. NOTE: Installation and performance of a Pyramid Series Reader with HID compatibility (on operational fea- tures) is identical to standard Pyramid Series Readers. All Farpointe Data Readers are compliant with the following organizations: FCC compliance Statement: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. 1.0Cable Requirements All readers operate at up to 500 feet (152 m) of cable, using seven-conductor, shielded, stranded cable. Per the Security Industry Association’s Wiegand specification, AWG 24 (such as Belden 9537) is the minimum gauge required for data transfer in a 500-foot run length. However, the proper wire gauge to use must be determined by the current draw requirements of the reader, the length of the cable run, and the voltage applied to the reader. If the reader is to be operated at 5 VDC, 5 VDC must be available at the reader (long cable runs have a volt- age drop due to the resistance in the cable). A larger gauge of wire (having less resistance) or a separate power supply near the reader may be required to ensure 5 VDC is available at the reader. 2.0Output Formats •Wiegand (industry standard 26-bit Wiegand and custom Wiegand formats) •Magnetic Stripe (ABA Track II, clock and data, with card present) 3.0Grounding Shield (drain) continuity must run from the reader to the access panel. Shield (drain) and reader ground must be tied together at the access panel and connect to an earth ground at one point. 4.0Power A reader may be powered by the access panel, so the reader is powered on when the access panel is pow- ered on. However the best case is to power the reader by a separate, linear power supply. 5.0Voltage •Typically 5 to 14 VDC NOTE: The user is cautioned that making changes not approved by Farpointe Data may void the user's authority to use this equipment. • • • Farpointe Data 2177 Leghorn Street01506-001 - Rev. 1.3 Mountain View, CA 94043-1605 USA2 of 2 Tel: +1-650-964-2615 Fax: +1-650-988-6687 Web: www.pyramidseries.com E-mail: [email protected] Installation Guide Proximity Readers 6.0Reader Wiring 7.0Troubleshooting the Reader Installation Figure 1: Wiring Connections for Wiegand Output Figure 2: Wiring Connections for Magnetic Stripe Output ProblemPossible CauseCorrective Action The reader does not recog- nize a card/tag (no beep, no LED flash) 1.One or more of the reader’s wir- ing connections are incorrect Power down the reader/access panel and verify the wiring connection are correct for the reader/access panel combi- nation. 2.The reader is not receiving proper power from the access panel Verify the voltage supplied to the reader is between 5 and 14 VDC. a a. A supply voltage of 12 VDC at the reader is recommended for best operation. 3.The reader is mounted too close to a device that radiates electro- magnetic interference Devices such as computer monitors radiate electromag- netic interference that affects read range. When possible, relocate either the reader or the device to provide greater separation between the two. 4.You are using an incorrect type of card. Make sure you are using an access card that is compatible with the reader. The reader has a short read range. 1.The reader/access panel is not properly grounded. Ensure there is a quality earth ground connection made to the access panel. Refer to the access panel’s documenta- tion for information regarding the earth ground connec- tion. 2.The shield wire for the reader’s cable has opened somewhere between the reader and the access panel. Verify the shield line from the access panel to the reader is one continuous, connected line. Refer to the access panel’s documentation and verify the shield line is correctly con- nected to the access panel. 3.The reader is mounted too close to a device that radiates electro- magnetic interference. Devices such as computer monitors radiate electromag- netic interference that affects read range. When possible, relocate either the reader or the device to provide greater separation between the two. 4.The power supply is generating electromagnetic interference The power supply on the access panel must be a regu- lated, linear supply. Do not use switching supplies as they are often sources of electromagnetic interference.

The highest power is for the P700 as it has the largest coil and the largest voltage applied to the coil. The output transistors of the P700 are larger to account for the larger output power, otherwise the RF generation circuits are the same for all devices. Minor non-RF differences exist for different products to accommodate different status LEDs, beepers, and attachment points for Part 15 verified keyboards. Attached is schematic used for models other than P700, the power transistor is of lower rating and coils are different sizes (smaller) resulting in lower emissions than from P700.

During test day, the potted engineering sample stopped working, but the unpotted sample was operational so that one was used for the testing. The potting material has no effect on the electronics (that is why it is used for this purpose) so the emissions measurements made on the unpotted unit are representative and applicable to a potted production unit offered for sale.
