Installation Note

Cardax FT Intelligent

Door Terminal (Mifare Series)

CAUTION
This equipment contains components that can be damaged by
electrostatic discharge. Ensure both you and the equipment are
earthed before beginning any servicing.

The Cardax FT Intelligent Door Terminal (Mifare Series)

The Cardax FT Intelligent Door Terminal Mifare Series (IDT) is a "remote"
proximity tag reader with text display and an inbuilt intercom.

The IDT can be installed as either an entry and/or exit reader, and the intercom
enables communication with the console operator.

The IDT has a back-lit keypad and an inbuilt Liquid Crystal Display (LCD).
The LCD can display both text and graphics to aid the Cardholder.

The IDT sends information to the Cardax FT Controller and acts upon
information sent from the Cardax FT Controller. The IDT itself does not make
any decisions.

A Cardax FT IDT Cover can be fitted over the IDT to prevent the IDT being
damaged by vandal attack and to increase protection against harsh weather.
Refer to the Prox Reader and IDT Covers Installation Note (part number
3C4589).

Before you begin

Shipment contents

Open the box and check that the following items have been supplied:

• 1 x Cardax FT IDT Mifare Base.

• 1 x Cardax FT IDT Mifare facia assembly (includes printed circuit boards,

processor, display and keypad).

• 1 x interconnect printed circuit board.

• 1 x copy of this installation note.

• 1 x cable assembly.

• 4 x pan-head self-tapping screws.

• 4 x screw caps.

• 1 x M4x12, tamper-resistant, Torx-head machine screw.

Software

The IDT requires version vMP3.00 or later of software code, which you can
download from your Cardax FT Command Centre Installation CD-ROM. If
the CD-ROM does not have vMP3.00 or later of IDT code on it, the code can
be downloaded from the Cardax website.

Once you have the correct IDT code, it then needs to be downloaded to the
IDT. To do this, refer to "Adding a new version of Device Software" for the
procedure, in the Cardax FT Command Centre User Guide (part number
C209000).

Power Supply Requirements

The IDT draws 300 mA from a 13.6 V ±15% DC supply. This means that with
the reader operating, the voltage measured across pins 1 and 4 on the
interconnect printed circuit board should be at least 11.6 V. It is recommended
that you dimension the cable to provide a minimum of 12 V at the IDT while it
is operating.

Use a well-regulated DC supply that incorporates good output filtering. Switch
mode power supplies may reduce the card read range due to the electrical noise
generated by the power supply switching circuits.

Building cabling

Run the building cabling before installing the IDT. Refer to Chapter 2 of
Cardax FT Installation Manual for cabling details.

Over short distances, you may run one cable carrying both the communications
and DC supply. Over long distances, run separate cables for the DC supply
and communications. In each case, verify that the correct supply voltage is
present at the IDT.

Mounting

Height

RS485 communications

Use high-quality, low-capacitance, twisted-pair cable. Category 5 (CAT 5)
cable is suitable.

DC power

Ensure the cable size is adequate for correct operation of the IDT.

Note: The IDT has been designed to metric specifications, therefore any
imperial measurements provided are approximate only.

The IDT is designed to mount on any solid, flat surface. The card read range is
reduced when the IDT is mounted on or near metal surfaces.

The recommended mounting height for the IDT is 1100 mm, measured from
the centre of the facia to the floor.

Check your local regulations for any variations to this recommended height.

Installation

1. Fit the base as described in Fastening the base to the mounting surface
(on page 4).

2. Join the building cable to the connector tail and fit the Interconnect PCB as
described in Joining the cable (on page 4).

3. Set the IDT address as described in Setting the unit address (on page 5).

4. Fit the facia as described in Fitting the facia (on page 6).
