The Gallagher T11 Reader
The Gallagher T11 Reader is a smart card proximity reader. It can be installed as
either an entry reader or exit reader. It can be mounted on any standard electrical
flush (gang) box, used in New Zealand, Australia, USA and Canada.
The reader can read Mifare DESFire EV1, Mifare Plus and Mifare Classic cards. The
Multi Tech variant can also read 125Khz 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 T11 Reader uses the “Cardax IV Reader” communications protocol
to communicate with the Cardax FT Controller.

Shipment Contents
Check the shipment contains the following items:
1 x Gallagher T11 Reader facia assembly•
1 x Gallagher T11 Reader base•
1 x M3 Torx Post Security screw•
2 x 6-32 UNC screws•
4 x self tapping, pan head, pozi fixing screws•
Power Supply
The Gallagher T11 Reader is designed to operate over a supply voltage range of
9 - 16Vdc measured at the reader terminals. The operating current draw is dependant
on the supply voltage at the reader. For the Standard variant at 12Vdc the current
draw is 54mA (standby). During card read, beeper and LED activity, the current will
momentarily reach 100mA (peak). For the Multi Tech variant at 12Vdc the current
draw is 88mA (standby) and will momentarily reach 140mA (peak).
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 T11 Reader requires a minimum cable size of 4 core 24 AWG
2
(0.2mm
) 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.
Although the reader is specified to operate at 9Vdc, for good engineering design it
is recommended that the voltage at the reader should be approximately 12Vdc.

Note: Grounding shielded cable may reduce the obtainable cable length by 25%
to 30%.
Distance between Proximity Readers
The distance separating any two proximity readers must not be less than 200mm
(8 inches) in all directions.
200mm
Installation Note | Gallagher T11 Reader
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 T11 Reader is designed to be mounted on vertically orientated electrical
flush (gang) boxes, or 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 (3.6 ft) 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.
200mm
Ensure the building cable has been run out through the flush box.1.
If you are not mounting to a flush box, use the drill template at the back of this
installation note as a guide, to drill all five 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 four fixing holes.
Run the building cabling through the reader base.2.

Secure the base to the flush box using the two 6-32 UNC screws provided. It 3.
is important the base of the reader is flush with and tight against the mounting
surface.
If you are not mounting to a flush box, secure the base to the mounting surface
using the four fixing screws provided.

Fit the facia assembly into the base by clipping the small lip, into the top of 5.
the base and holding the top, press the bottom of the facia assembly down
into the base.
Insert the M3 Torx Post Security screw (using a T10 Torx Post Security screwdriver) 6.
through the hole at the bottom of the base to secure the facia assembly.
Note: The recommended torque for the security screw is 0.7Nm (0.5 lb/ft). It
is important not to exceed the maximum torque of 1.5Nm (1.1 lb/ft).
