Installation Note

Gallagher T10 Mifare Reader

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

The Gallagher T10 Mifare Reader

The Gallagher T10 Mifare reader is a smart card proximity reader. It can
be installed as either an entry reader or exit reader.

The reader can read Mifare DESFire EV1, Mifare Plus and Mifare Classic
cards.

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

The Gallagher T10 Mifare reader uses the “Cardax IV Reader”
communications protocol to communicate with the Cardax FT Controller.

Power Supply

The Gallagher T10 Mifare reader receives power from the device to which
it is connected. The reader is designed to operate over a supply voltage
range of 9 - 16Vdc measured at the reader terminals. The operating
current will be approximately 40mA (at 16Vdc) and 70mA (at 9Vdc).
The operating current will increase to approximately 120mA (at 12Vdc)
momentarily during a card read, beeper and LED activity.

Cabling

The power source should be linear or a good quality switched-mode power
supply. The performance of the reader may be affected by a low quality,
noisy power supply.

The Gallagher T10 Mifare reader requires a minimum cable size of 4
core 24 AWG (0.2mm2) stranded security cable. This cable allows the
transmission of data (2 wires) and power (2 wires). When using a single
cable to carry both power supply and data, both the power supply voltage
drop and data requirements must be considered. For good engineering
design, it is recommended that the voltage at the reader should be
approximately 12Vdc.

The critical specifications for the cable are:

Data: The capacitance between any two wires or between

a wire and any shielding should be less than 24nF

Power supply: The voltage at the reader must be at least 9Vdc

reader to a Controller and power supply, showing maximum cable lengths

Distance between Proximity Readers

The distance separating any two proximity readers must not be less than
200mm (8 inches) in all directions.

in a single cable

When mounting a proximity reader on an internal wall, check that any
reader fixed to the other side of the wall is not less than 200mm (8 inches)
away.

Installation

The Gallagher T10 Mifare reader is designed to be mounted on any solid
flat surface. However installation on metal surfaces, particularly those with
a large surface area will reduce read range. The extent to which the range
is reduced will depend upon the type of metal used.

The recommended mounting height for the reader is 1.1m (3.6ft) from the
floor level to the centre of the reader device. However this may vary in
some countries and you should check local regulations for variations to this
height.

Installation Note | Gallagher T10 Mifare Reader

Using the drill template at the back of this installation note as a 1.
guide, drill all three holes. Drill the 13mm (1/2 inch) diameter centre
hole (this is the centre hole for which the building cable will exit the
mounting surface) and the two fixing holes.

Run the building cabling out through the centre hole and through the 2.
reader base.

Secure the base to the mounting surface using the two fixing screws 3.
provided. It is important the base of the reader is flush with and tight
against the mounting surface.

Note: Ensure the centre hole allows the cable to run freely out through
the mounting surface, so that the reader facia can clip into the base.

Fit the facia assembly into the base by clipping the small lip, into the 5.
top of the base and holding the top, press the bottom of the facia
assembly down into the base.
