VARIO PROX CARD READER INSTALLATION MANUAL VERSION 1.1

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing the Vario Prox Card Reader from Integrated Control Technology. The Vario

Prox Card Reader is an advanced technology radio frequency identification device (RFID) specifically designed to enhance the functionality of security, building automation and access control by providing multiple format compatibility, high speed data transmission, built in stand alone operation and sabotage protection.

The Vario Prox Card Reader is designed to operate as a Normal Wiegand Proximity Reader or as a complete Standalone Single Door Controller. The Vario Prox Card Reader can be programmed to perform and operate using different card and data output formats.

Therefore, before installing the Vario Prox Card Reader, we highly recommend you read this manual carefully and ensure that the data formats you program will operate with the configured access control or security product.

When operating the Vario Prox Card Reader in stand alone mode we recommend using the Nano

Prox Access Manager Application which allows a personal computer to perform user programming and configuration. A PRX-SAM Interface Module is required for Standalone

Functionality.

1.2 TERMINOLOGY

To ensure that you program the Vario Prox effectively please familiarize yourself with the following terms used throughout this manual.

Wiegand

The data transmission method used to communicate data to a controller or reader expansion device.

Data is sent on a D0 (Data 0) and D1 (Data 1) interface in an open collector connection.

Programming Card

The Vario Prox Series of readers utilize built in programming functions that allow many options to be configured. To program these options you must have a Programming Card. These are typically marked with the text ‘ICT Programming Card’ in place of the normal facility code and card number.

Programming Cards are available to purchase from your local ICT distributor

(Part code: PRX-PROX-PROG).

Facility Code

The facility code is the code that is common to a group of cards or facility, this is also referred to as the site code or family number. Facility codes are not normally printed on a card.

Card Number

The card number identifies the card to the system, the card number is printed in the lower right of the card or across the back of the tag.

Pre Alarm Time

When the door contact is opened during the door unlock time a pre-alarm warning will be sounded after the pre alarm time has expired to indicate the door left open alarm will be generated.

Door Left Open Time

When the door contact is left open during the door unlock time the beeper will be sounded continuously after the time has expired to indicate the door has been left open. Closing the door silences the Door Left Open Alarm.

REX (Request To Exit)

The REX or Request To Exit input is used to exit a door, the input can be connected to a exit detector, push button or other egress device to allow free exit of the door.

Master User

A Master User is a standalone user who is able to program users in to the Vario Prox Card Reader to allow them to access the door. Any number of Master Users can be programmed in the Vario Prox

Card Reader.


2.0 MOUNTING

When mounting the Vario Prox Card Reader please respect the following guidelines.

• Avoid wiring the Vario Prox cables in the same conduit with AC power cables, lock power, or signal

wiring.

• Maintain all reader wiring a minimum of 12” (30cm) away from other wiring such as ACM power,

computer data wiring, telephone wiring and wiring to electric lock devices.

• Avoid installing within 3.5 feet (1.1m) of computer monitors or CRTs. The minimum distance will

vary depending on the type of monitor or CRT.

• Avoid installing in proximity to sources of broad spectrum EMI noise such as motors, pumps,

generators, DC to AC converters, uninterrupted power supplies, AC switching relays, light

dimmers, computer monitors and CRTs.

• Avoid installing in proximity to potential sources of high power RF signal transmitters such as

cellular telephones and two way radios.


3.0 WIEGAND CONNECTION

When using the standard Wiegand Interface to the access controller or reader expander two wiring methods can be used. Dual LED operation allows the signalling of both LED’s independently using the

LED control lines and is ideal to show the status of alarm or other integrated signals. Single LED allows a single LED line to control both LED colors.

5.0 INSTALLER PROGRAMMING

By default the Vario Prox Card Reader is factory configured to send data in 26 Bit Wiegand Format, it will read all card formats and operate in the dual LED line mode. This configuration can be changed to suit system operating requirements.

Programming is completed by presenting a programming card to the unit within the first 2 minutes of power being applied.

For information on standalone and end user programming options refer to User Programming Section on Page 15.

5.1 ENTERING PROGRAMMING MODE

To program the Vario Prox Card Reader power it up and then badge the programming card once. The

Card Reader will then ‘beep-beep’ to indicate the card has been read. It will then illuminate the BLUE

LED to indicate programming mode has been entered.

!

The programming card can only be presented within the first 2 minutes from when the card reader powers up. If you do nothing after badging the reader it will time out and a long beep tone will be generated.
