Product Overview
Features
• Exceptional read range of up to 14 inches (355.6 mm) for ISO 15693compliant credentials. (Read range will vary with credential type and
quality, as well as installation environment).
• Universal compatibility with all ISO 15693 and ISO 14443A
credentials (badges, disc tags, and key fobs).
• Supervised four-state (open, closed, wire cut, and wire short)
monitoring for door contacts and REX (request to exit) switches, and
wiring.
• Electrical protection (r everse polarity diode protection on power
lines).
• Data lines; high-speed transient voltage suppressor diodes
• Compat i ble with Micro/5 2RP and 8RP Read er Proces sor boards,
Micro/PX-2000, and Micro/PXN-2000 controllers
• IP 65-rated sealed for deployment in both interior and exterior
environments.
• Integrated reader tamper protection and microcontroller supervised
data communications.
Access Control System Compatibility
The Model 260 badge reader outputs a 16-digit badge identification (BID)
number. As a result, the Model 260 reader is compatible with Picture
Perfect while microcontrollers on a Secure Perfect system must be fieldconfigured for Model 260 com p atibility.
Picture Perfect Edition Setup
Refer to Access/Badge Formats or to the Picture Perfect online help for
assistance. A 16-digit BID format must be defined within Picture Perfect.
Enter a suitable badge format description. Example:
16-digit BID
and define the format:
%16S.
Secure Perfect Edition Setup
The Secure Perfect Edition access control system supports Badge IDs
(BIDs) up to a maximum of 12-digits. Since a Model 260 reader will
output a 16-digit BID number, the Secure Perfect microcontrollers must
be specifically configured to receive the incoming 16-di git B ID number,
and convert it into the Secure Perfect-compatible 12-digit BID format.
Page 8
4 GE Contactless Medium Read-Range Reader Model 260
To make a Secure Perfect 4.0 or higher system compatible with the GE
Contactless Medium Read-Range Readers, do the following:
• Install Secure Perfect Edition, 4.0 or higher
•Load the Secure Perfect Update CD in the server CD drive
• Locate the Badge Formats folder
• In the Badge Formats folder, locate the 15693.REG file
• Double-click the 15693.REG to configure the Secure Perfect Edition
system and microcontrollers for operation with GE Contactless
Medium Re ad-Range Re aders
Note: For earlier versions of Secure Perfect Editions, please contact CASI
Sales Engineering for the 15693.REG file.
This file configures the Secure Perfect Edition’s system to communicate
with the GE Contactless readers. To restore Secure Perfect Edition’s
system back to factory settings, install the BADGE FORMATS.REG file.

Mounting Considerations
FOR PROTECTION AGAINST ENVIRONMENTAL INTERFERENCE
Model 260 readers require care and consideration in the manner in which
they are mounted. This includes consideration of the other equipment
and structural elements that are mounted near the reader, whether visible
or hidden. The following covers the major factors to consider.
Environmental Interference
There are three types of environmental interference:
1. Electrical Noise (field wiring related)
2. Field Blocking (conductive material in read fi eld )
3. Overlapping Fields (side-to-side & back-to-back installa tion)

6 GE Contactless Medium Read-Range Reader Model 260
The reader may encounter a wide range of interference as shown in
Figure 3, “GE Model 260 Reader Environmental Con sid erations,” on
page 5. Common causes include:
Power Wiring
Power wiring carries electrical noise that can interfere with the operation
of the reader. This is more common with traditional 125 KHz proximity
readers. However, this is a potential issue with the GE Model 260 reader,
particularly if data noise is introd uced by coupling from the reader’s
power wiring. Any power wire may inductively or capaci tively couple
noise into the reader data line.
Data Network Wiring
Data network wiring can generate noise, which may possibly be in the
operating frequency range of the reader. This noise can interfere with
reader-to-credential communication and reduce read range.
Security Wiring
While not normally a source of noise itself (although it can cau se
problems if bundled in a loop directly behind the reader), security wiring
can inductively or capacitively couple to data or power wiring, and
transfer noise to the reader.
Signs and Other Metal Objects
Signs and other metal objects within the read field of the reader can
absorb or block reader-to-credential communication and reduce range.
Use shielded cable for reader communication. Reader installation
considerations should avoid read field blocking and overlapping
conditions.
Page 11
GE Contactless Medium Read-Range Reader Model 260 7
Installation on Metal Surface
Mounting the GE Reader directly on a metal (or other electrica l
conducting surface) will reduce read range to approx imately 9.45 inches
(240 mm). For maximum read-range, ensure the metal wall installation
switch is set to the “< 0.75 inch” position.
Another potential source of interference is mounting two or more readers
in close proximity as shown in Figure 4.
FIGURE 4: Pole-Mounted Readers
The following problems may occur when mounting multiple GE Model
260 readers in close proximity:
• The signal energy from one reader may interfere with the read range
of the other.
• Overlapping read fields can cause a single credential to be read
simultaneously by tw o or more readers.

To ensure proper operation and optimal read range, take the following
precautions:
1. Mount all readers before tuning any of the readers.
2. Ensure that the back-to-back distance is at least 3.28 feet (one meter).
Note: If a metal plate is installed between the two readers, the
back-to-back distance restriction may be ignored. However, read
range will be reduced to approximately 9.45 inches (240 mm).
Note 2: Reduced credentia l read range and the si multaneous read o f
a credential by both readers may result if the readers are installed
less than 19.68 in ches (500 mm) apart.
3. Ensure that the vertical separation distance is at least 19.68 inches
(500 mm). A more narrow vertical separation gap may be used if the
simultaneous read of a credential by two or more readers is
acceptable.
FIGURE 5: Parking Entrance/Exit Application A
A common use for the GE Model 260 is parking lot applications.
However, the parking lot application presents opportunities for all of the
interference types as described earlier.

FIGURE 7: Parking Entrance Exit and Metal Sign Applications
Signs and other metal objects, including hidden w iring may interfere
with the reader’s read field.
Metal signs are common items in both indoor and outdoor installations.
The signs may be free standing (see Figure 3, “GE Model 260 Reader
Environmental Considerations ,” on page 5) or fixed in p osition (see
Figure 7, “Parking Entrance Exit and Metal Sign Applications,” on
page 10.)
To ensure optimal read-range performance, ensure all metal signs and
other conductive objects are placed at a distance that is at least:
• 19.68 inches (500 mm) from the front of the reader.
• 5.91 inches (150 mm) from the back of the reader.
• 3.94 inches (100 mm) from the side of the reader.

Installation: Model 260 on Metal
The GE Model 260 reader can be field-tuned to accommodate installation
on or near metal surfaces. To accomplish this, perform the following
steps:
1. Remove the front cover.
2. Mount reader back-plate assembly.
3. Terminate the communications cable at the microcontroller using the
wiring diagram in Figure 9, “GE Model 260 Reader Wiring Diagram
to Micro/5 8RP,” on page 16 or Figure 11, “GE Model 260 Reader to
2RP,” on page 18.
4. Terminate the communications cable at the reader using the wiring
diagrams in Figure 10, Figure 11, Figure 12, or Figure 13.
5. Wall-type selection switch. Set the two-position slide switch to match
the wall surface.
6. Connect the communications cable to power up the read er.
IMPORTANT: Within three seconds, you must press the Tune
button or the reader will go into tamper operation (red LED flashes).
You will be unable to tune the reader in this cond ition. If this occurs,
remove, then reconnect the communications cable.
7. Press the Tune button and release when the reader beeps.
8. Tune the Trim POT until the green LED flas hes.
• If the yellow LED flashes, turn RIGHT.
• If the red LED flashes, turn LEFT.
Note: The green LED flashes for approximately six minutes. You can
stop the flashing by pressing the Tune button. The yellow LED will
be on. The reader will shift into reader-tamper operation (red LED
flashes).
9. Install the reader co ver.
10. The red LED will stop flashing after approximately 30 se conds.
The Model 260 is now tuned and set for optimal read-range for its
environment.
If new metal components are introduced into the read-range field, you
may need to re-tune the reader. Follow the tuning process steps above.

1. Fuse, power supply, door s trike, prote ction device, an d relay are provided b y
the installer.
2. The 470 included Ω ½-watt resistor, must be installed at the Micro/5 2RP
terminal block. The Micro PX-2000/PXN-2000 and Micro/5 2RP and 8RP
boards do not require this resistor.
3. Shielded cable is recommended in electrically noisy environments.
4. If using shielded cable: At the reader end: connect all shie lds together and
insulate them. At the Micro end: connect the shield to th e mic ro ca b ine t as
indicated in the appropriate Micro Installation Manual.
5. If using a local power supply, do not connect the power (8-30 VDC) line from
the microcontroller to the reader. The ground line of the power supply must
be connected to the micro (pin 2 on the reader connector).
6. J3 is typically not used in this installation. See Figure 13, “GE Model 260
Reader to Micro/Reader Junction Box and Microcontroller,” on page 22.
7. Blocking diodes may be 1N414 8 or equivalent (installer supplied) and located
in a secure area.
8. Protection diodes may be 1N4002, 1N40 03, or 1N4004 (installer sup p lied) for
the door strike assembly.
9. Install two 1k Ω ¼-watt resistors (installer-supplied) at Door DI and Exit DI,
as shown.
10. Connect a protection device across the door strike.
AC Door Strikes: Connect an MOV (metal oxide varistor) across the door
strike. (Incl uded with Micro/5 2RP, 8RP, and PX(N)-2000).
DC Door Strikes: Connect a diode ac ross th e door strike (cathode to posit iv e
side of door strike). (Included with Micro/5 2RP, 8RP, and PX(N)-2000).
11. Relay Coil Current Restriction (Micro/5 2RP with external relay).
The relay coil current must be limited to 40 mA to prevent damage to the
board. Verify that the relay coil requires less than 40 mA.
12 VDC relay: coil resistance must be greater than 300 Ω.
The Micro/5 2RP with internal or AUX DO relay current through the relay
contacts must be limited to less than 2 A to prevent damage to the 2RP.
Current limiting may be achieved by using either a current-limiting power
supply or by wiring in an external fuse.

Troubleshooting
If the operation of a component is in doubt, substitute a known-good
component and retry the system. Always verify wiring against the
provided wiring information before powering up the reader.
Table 7: Error Conditions and Possible Solutions
Condition Possible Solutions
None of the
LEDs are on.
Present a known-good ISO 15693 or ISO 14443A
type card to the reader while listening for the
beeper. If the beeper sounds, the reader is faulty
and should be replaced. If the beeper does not
sound, check the following:
• Power connections to the reader
• Reader supply voltage at connector JP1 pin 3
and that the ground connection JP1 pin 2 is
secure
The green LED is
always on. The
green LED indicates that the
door strike is
open. It is controlled by the
input on connector JP1 pin 7.
Disconnect the wire on JP1 pin 7. If the green LED
stays on, the reader is faulty and should be
replaced. If the green LED goes off, then the problem is most likely not in the reader.
Reconnect the wire on JP1 pin 7 and measure the
voltage at JP1 pin 7. A low voltage (0 to 2 VDC)
turns on the green LED. If the voltage is low, there
are two possibilities:
• A short to ground in the wiring between the
reader and microcontroller, or
• The host system may be energizing the door
strike
The door does
not open and the
green LED does
not light when an
ISO 15693 or
ISO 14443A card
is presented.
Verify that the door strike and the green LED are
wired correctly.
Verify that the access card has been entered and
that the reader has been properly configured in
the host system.
Page 28
24 GE Contactless Medium Read-Range Reader Model 260
The green LED
does not light,
but the door
strike unlocks the
door when a valid
ISO 15693 or
ISO 14443A card
is presented.
Verify that the door strike is wired correctly. Refer
to the appropriate wiring diagram.
Disconnect the wire from JP1 pin 7 (green LED)
and connect JP1 pin 7 to JP1 pin 2 (ground). If the
green LED is now on, the reader is good and the
connection to the reader is defective. If the green
LED does not light, replace the reader.
Green LED lights
but the door does
not open.
Verify correct door strike wiring and operation. The
reader is functioning. If not, check that the blocking diode is functioning. If it is not, replace it.
Reader sounds a
short triple beep
every 30 seconds
and the red LED
flashes slowly
(every 2 seconds).
The reader has lost communication with the microcontroller.
Check the reader-to-microcontroller wiring, in particular, the terminations for Reader Data 1. Refer
to the appropriate wiring diagram. Verify that the
2RP AUX DO is jumpered to the reader data 1 on
the microcontroller. Jumper between 2RP JP2 and
JP4, pins 3 and 7.
Verify that the correct pull-up resistor is installed
on the microcontroller (470
Ω ½-watt, 2RP JP2
and JP4, pins 1 and 3).
Verify that the microcontroller has the correct firmware. Refer to the manual that came with your
microcontroller for instructions.
Try the reader on a different reader input port at
the microcontroller. If this corrects the problem,
the operational status of the original port is suspect.
Replace the reader with one you know is working
correctly. If this corrects the problem, then the
reader is probably faulty and should be replaced.
If none of the above steps have identified the
problem, there may be a significant noise source
present in the installation which is interfering with
the reader-to-microcontroller communications. If
this is the case, use shielded wire for reader-tomicrocontroller connections.

The reader
sounds a short
triple beep every
30 seconds and
the red LED
flashes quickly
(every 400 ms).
Indicates a tamper violation. Ensure the reader is
properly attached to its backplate. The red LED
will continue to blink for 30 seconds. The reader is
ready for use when the yellow LED is steadily on.
The reader
sounds a short
triple beep every
5 seconds and
the red LED
also flashes
every 5 seconds.
Check that the 4-state supervised switches are
connected with two 1K
Ω resistors to the door con-
tact and the exit request inputs or, if the inputs are
not used, that resistors are installed at the reader
connector:
DI: Pins 2 and 4, 1K
Ω
REX: Pins 2 and 6, 2K Ω
A 470 Ω ½-watt pull-up resistor is required
between 12 VDC and Reader Data 1 on the Micro/
5 2RP (only).
