Gallagher T11 Reader

ATTENTION: This equipment contains components that can be damaged

by electrosta c discharge. Ensure both you and the equipment are earthed
before beginning any servicing.

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 a ver cal, rectangular
50 mm x 75 mm (2” x 3”) fl ush box with moun ng holes spaced at a nominal 85 mm
(3.25”).

The Mifare reader reads: Mifare DESFire EV1, Mifare Plus and Mifare Classic cards.
The Mul Tech reader reads: Mifare DESFire EV1, Mifare Plus, Mifare Classic and
125 kHz cards.

The reader sends informa on to the Gallagher Controller and acts upon informa on
sent from the Gallagher Controller. The reader itself does not make any access
decisions.

The Gallagher T11 Reader uses the “Cardax IV Reader” communica ons protocol to
communicate with the Gallagher Controller.

IMPORTANT: Gallagher T11 MulƟ Tech readers only:

Using dual technology 125/Mifare cards with Gallagher T11 Mul Tech readers
may cause both card technologies to be read, resul ng in double card badges
and unusual reader feedback. Gallagher strongly recommends against using dual
technology 125/Mifare cards with Gallagher Mul Tech readers for sites running
pre-Command Centre v7.00 so ware (due for release 2nd half, 2011). From
Command Centre v7.00, a site may specify which technology a Mul Tech reader
should read off a dual technology card.

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 Phillips drive fi xing screws

• 4 x 25 mm No.6 self tapping, pan head, Phillips drive fi xing screws

• 4 x 40 mm No.6 self tapping, pan head, Phillips drive fi xing screws

Power Supply

The Gallagher T11 Reader is designed to operate over a supply voltage range
of 9 - 16 Vdc measured at the reader terminals. The opera ng current draw is
dependant on the supply voltage at the reader. For the Mifare reader at 12 Vdc the
current draw is 90 mA (standby). During card read, beeper and LED ac vity, the
current will momentarily reach 125 mA (peak). For the Mul Tech reader at 12 Vdc
the current draw is 90 mA (standby) and will momentarily reach 140 mA (peak).

Cabling

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

The Gallagher T11 Reader requires a minimum cable size of 4 core 24 AWG
(0.2 mm

2

) 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 specifi ed to operate at 9 Vdc, for good
engineering design it is recommended that the voltage at the reader should be
approximately 12 Vdc.

* The matching of wire sizes to equivalent wire gauges are only approximate.

Grounding shielded cable may reduce the obtainable cable length by 25% to 30%.

Distance between Proximity Readers

The distance separa ng any two proximity readers must not be less than 200 mm
(8 inches) in all direc ons.

200 mm

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

InstallaƟ on

The Gallagher T11 Reader is designed to be mounted on ver cally orientated
electrical fl ush (gang) boxes, or any solid fl at surface. However installa on on metal
surfaces, par cularly 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 moun ng height for the reader is 1.1 m (3.6  ) from the fl oor
level to the centre of the reader device. However this may vary in some countries
and you should check local regula ons for varia ons to this height.

1. Ensure the building cable has been run out through the fl ush box.

200 mm

If you are not moun ng to a fl ush box, use the drill template at the back of this
installa on note as a guide, to drill all fi ve holes. Drill the 13 mm (1/2 inch)
diameter centre hole (this is the centre hole for which the building cable will
exit the moun ng surface) and the four fi xing holes.

2. Run the building cabling through the reader base.

3. Secure the base to the fl ush box using the two 6-32 UNC screws provided. It is
important the base of the reader is fl ush with and  ght against the moun ng
surface.

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

6. Insert the M3 Torx Post Security screw (using a T10 Torx Post Security
screwdriver) through the hole at the bo om of the base to secure the facia
assembly.

Note: The Torx security screw needs only to be lightly  ghtened.
The recommended torque for the security screw is 0.7 Nm (0.5 lb/ ).
It is important not to exceed the maximum torque of 1.5 Nm (1.1 lb/ ).
