FEATURES

The 1520 series proximity card readers and weigand controllers provide users with a stand-alone
access control system in a small compact package. These systems offer outstanding control features
typically not found in a stand-alone system and are easy to program with their built-in programming
keypad. Features include a transaction buffer, time zone programming, anti-pass back programming
and connection to a serial printer for transaction reports.

The 1520 series are offered in two different packages. The 1520-080 is a complete proximity card
access system and includes a 4-5 inch read range proximity reader mounted on a lighted, stainless
steel faceplate and steel enclosure. The steel enclosure can be used for both indoor and outdoor
applications and easily mounts to a gooseneck mounting post.

The 1520-081 is a stand-alone weigand controller that allows almost any 26-bit weigand control
device (keypads, card readers, RF receivers, etc.) to be used in a stand-alone application. The
controller is housed in a lockable weather resistant steel enclosure that can be mounted outdoors.

• Memory sizes: 125, 500 or 1000 card (device) codes.

• Built-in keypad for easy programming.

• Transaction buffer stores up to 3656 events.

• Input power is 16 VAC or 12-24 VDC, 125 ma.

• RS 232 port for connection to a serial printer. Transactions can be printed in real time mode

or stored and printed at a later time.

• Clock and transaction buffer will maintain data in the event of a power failure for up to three
days.

• Four time zones for controlling access.

• Four hold-open time zones.

• Timed anti-pass back: 1-59 minutes.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• Prior to starting the installation, become familiar with the instructions, illustrations and wiring

diagrams in this manual.

• Never mount this device to a moving gate or gate panel, or next to a gate that causes

vibration to the fence, such as a spring-loaded pedestrian gate. Continuous vibration from
moving or slamming gates can cause damage to the unit in time.

• If this system is used to activate an automatic vehicular gate operator, it must be

mounted in such a way that the user cannot come into contact with the gate or the
gate operator when the device is used. We recommend that the unit be installed a
minimum of 10 feet away from the gate and gate operator.

• Always disconnect power when performing service on the system.

• If the unit is mounted outdoors, be sure that the wiring to the unit is designed for direct under-

ground burial, even if the wire is run inside a conduit.

• Surge suppression is recommended on the low voltage input po wer line.

• Instruct the end user on the safe and proper operation of this device.

• Instruct the end user to read and follow these instructions. Instruct the end user to

never let children play with or operate any access control device. This Owner’s
Manual is the property of the end user and must be left with them when installation is
complete.
