Installation Steps

The following is the general sequence of steps to follow in installing the
84x Reader. Each step is explained in further detail in the sectio ns that
follow.

1. Mount the reader backplate only (the reader will be mounted later).
Refer to “Mounting the Reader” below.

2. Connect the reader. Refer to “Connecting the Reader” on page 6.

3. Mount the reader to the backplate. Refer to “Mounting the Reader”
below.

4. Test the reader. Refer to “Testing the Reader” on page 22.

5. If necessary, refer to “Troubleshooting Guide” on page 23 for
troubleshooting information.

Mounting the Reader

The reader comes with a backplate suitable for mounting directly onto a
standard U.S. electrical single-gang box. The reader may also be mounted
directly onto a hollow wall. The reader is supplied with a weather­resistant gasket.

The figures listed below begin on the next page. Refer to the appropriate
figure for the type of reader you are mounting.

Figure 1, “Model 84x Reader - Gang Box Mounting,” on page 4.
Figure 2, “Model 84x Reader - Wall Mounting,” on page 5.

Cabling Distances

The table below gives the maximum cabling distances between the reader
and the microcontroller.

NOTES:

1. Reader supply voltage measured at microcontroller: 13.6V is nominal
when line-powered; 12V is nominal when battery-powered.

2. All cable distances are typical maximums.

3. Readers powered by a local 12VDC power supply will have a maximum
cable distance of 500 feet (152m) of 24 AWG telephone wire.

4. The reader will work well with unshielded cable in most environments.
No company can guarantee that data will be reliably transmitted for long
distances on unshielded cable in every installation. Typical Wiegand
reader installation requires eight-conductor shielded cable to provide
reader power, controller communication, door contact, exit push
button, and tamper switch status. The same functionality is provided by
Proximity Perfect readers, "supervised" with four-conductor unshielded
cable.

10 Model 840/845 Contactless Smart Card Reader

Setting the Communications Mode
(CASI Mode)

In CASI mode, the reader splits the serial number into two parts for
Wiegand formatting. The other communication modes return the number
resulting from this split format. In this manner, all five output formats
yield the same number to the system. This number will not match the
serial number provided by the card manufacturer.

The following steps are for setting the communications mode in
CASI mode.

NOTE: RS-232 mode for Revision B printed circuit boards and higher.

1. Remove power from the reader.

2. Place a mini-jump over both pins of JP4; JP3 is open.

3. Add power to the reader and listen for the number of beeps.

NOTE: The number of beeps indicate current communications mode
set.

• 1 beep = Supervised F/2F

• 2 beeps = Unsupervised F/ 2F

• 3 beeps = Strobe

• 4 beeps = Wiegand 4001

• 5 beeps = RS-232

4. Push and release the tamper switch the number of times that
correspond to the communications mode desired.

NOTE: If you exceed the number of pushed listed below, an error
response will sound and flash. Simply repeat this step.

Modes:

• 1 push = Supervised F/2F

• 2 pushes = Unsupervised F/2F

•3 pushes = Strobe

• 4 pushes = Wiegand 4001

• 5 pushes = RS-232

5. Wait 5 seconds and then remove power from the reader.

6. Place a mini-jump over one (1) pin of JP4; JP3 remains open.

7. Add power to the reader and resume normal operations.

Setting the Communications Mode
(Native Mode)

In Native Mode, the reader uses a straight binary to BCD conversion of
the serial number to match the serial number given by the card
manufacturer.

The following steps are for setting the communications mode in Native
Mode.

NOTE: RS-232 mode for Revision B printed circuit boards and higher.

1. Remove power from the reader.

2. Place a mini-jump over both pins of JP4 and JP3.

3. Add power to the reader and listen for the number of beeps.

Testing the Reader

Follow the steps below to verify that the reader is working correctly.

1. Check all cabling and electrical connections from the reader to the
microcontroller. Refer to the wiring diagram on page 14.

2. Verify that the microcontroller is properly conf igured. Ref e r to the
appropriate CASI microcontroller manual.

3. Apply power to the reader and verify that the yellow LED is on. You
may want to use a multimeter to test the voltage at the reader’s
connector JP2, using ground (pin 2) as a reference. The power pin
(pin 1) and data lines (pin 7) should read approximately 1 2V.

4. Check that the proper version of firmware is installed in the
microcontroller. Refer to the appropriate microcontroller manual.

5. Close the tamper switch by joining the reader and backplate. When
all wires are connected to the reader, ensure that the supervision
function is operating properly by verifying that the reader is not
sounding a short triple beep every 30 seconds and that the red LED is
not flashing slowly (every 2 seconds). If such an alarm is present,
refer to the Troubleshooting Guide on the next page.

6. Select a known-good MIFARE

®

1 type contactless smar t card. Be s ure

the card is properly entered in the host system.

7. Check that the door is secure. Place the card one inch away from the
front of the reader. Observe that the reader beeps briefly and the
yellow LED blinks of f.

8. Observe that the green LED turns on indicating a vali d access has
been granted by the host.

9. Open the door. This verifies that the door strike operates correctly.

Model 840/845 Contactless Smart Card Reader 23

Troubleshooting Guide

If the operation of a component is in doubt, substitute a known-good
component and retry the system. Always verify wiring against wiring
diagrams before powering up the system.

All LEDs are on and the beeper is on: Usually an indication that the
reader’s voltage is too low . This may be caused by having the wrong
reader voltage selected at the microcontroller or too long a cable between
the reader and the microcontroller.

1. Measure the reader supply voltage at the microcontroller. It should
read between 12V and 15VDC. If the voltage is correct, continue to
step 2 below. If the voltage is incorrect, refer to the appropriate
microcontroller manual and correct the voltage.

2. If the problem is still present, while in low power mo d e , me asure the
voltage between JP2 pin 1 (power) and JP2 pin 2 (ground). This
voltage should be greater than 9VDC and less than or equal to the
reader supply voltage. If the voltage is too low, correct the wiring. If
the voltage is correct, replace the reader.

None of the LEDs are on: Present a known-good MIFARE

®

1 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 JP2 pin 1

The green LED is always on: The green LED indicates that the door strike
is open. It is controlled by the input on connector JP2 pin 3.

1. Disconnect the wire on JP2 pin 3. 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.

2. Reconnect the wire on JP2 pi n 3 and m eas ure t he volt ag e at JP 2 pi n 3 .
Low voltage turns on the green LED. If the voltage is low, check to see
if the host system is energizing the door strike.

24 Model 840/845 Contactless Smart Card Reader

The door does not open and the green LED does not tur n on when a
contactless smart card is presented:

1. Verify that the door strike and the green LED are wired correctly.

2. Verify that the card and reader are properly entered into the system.

The green LED does not turn on, but the door strike unlocks the door
when a valid contactless smart card is presented:

1. Verify that the door DO is wired correctly. Refer to the appropriate
wiring diagram.

2. Disconnect the wire from JP2 pin 3 (green LED) and conn ect JP2 pin 3
to JP2 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 turn on, replace the reader.

Green LED turns on but the door does not open: Verify correct door
strike wiring and operation. The reader is functioning properly.

Reader sounds a short triple beep every 30 seconds and the red LED
flashes slowly (every 2 seconds): The reader has lost communicatio n

with the microcontroller.

1. Check the reader-to-microcontroller wiring. Refer to the appropriate
installation drawing. Verify that the AUX DO is jumpered to the
reader data 1 on the microcontroller.

2. Verify that the correct pull-up resist or is installed on the
microcontroller.

3. Verify that the microcontroller has the correct firmware for a
supervised reader. Refer to the manual that came with your
microcontroller for instructions.

4. Try the reader on a different reader input at the microcontroller. If
this corrects the problem, then the microcontroller is probably
causing the problem.

5. 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.

6. 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-to-microc ontroller con nections.

Model 840/845 Contactless Smart Card Reader 25

The reader sounds a short triple beep every 30 seconds and the red LED
flashes quickly (every 400 ms): Indicates a ta mper violation.

The reader sounds a short triple beep every 30 seconds and the red LED is
on continuously: Check that the 4-state supervised switches are connected

with two 1K-ohm resistors to the door contact and the exit request inputs or,
if the inputs are not used, that a 1K-ohm resistor is installed at the reader
connector. See Figure 4, “Wiring Diagram, Model 84x - Supervised F/2F
Mode,” on page 14.

Model 840/845 Contactless Smart Card Reader 27

Functional Specifications

Product Operation: The reader reads the unique manufacturer’s serial
number, converts it to BCD and sends it to the micro.

Switch Inputs: The reader monitors and reports the status of a norm ally
closed supervised door contact switch and a normally open supervised
exit request pushbutton.

Application: Intended for areas requiring a moderately low level of
security for controlled access.

Compatibility: Interfaces to CASI Micro/5-based systems.
Mounting: The reader can be mounted directly onto a standard U.S.

electrical single-gang box. The reader can also be mounted directly onto a
hollow wall. See figures on page 4 and page 5.

Indicators: Red, yellow and green LEDs and a beeper are incorporated
into the reader.

• Red LED: If communications with the microcontroller are lost, th e

red LED flashes slowly (every 2 seconds). It flashes quickly (every 400
ms) to indicate a reader tamper condition.

• Yellow LED: Normally on when power is applied to the reader.

Flashes off briefly (100 ms) to indicate that a smart card has been read
and sent to the microcontroller. Blinks o f f w hile a key is pressed
(Model 845 only).

• Green LED: Indicates that the microcontroller has activated the door

strike. Flashes quickly (every 400 ms) to indicate a request for PIN
entry. Upon completion of the PIN entry, the LED stops flashing.

• Beeper: A short triple beep sounds every 30 seconds to indicate lost

microcontroller communications , a reader ta mper, or supervised
switch input tamper. The beeper sounds briefly (100 ms) to indicate
that a valid smart card has been read. The beeper sounds while a key
is pressed (Model 84 5 only) .

Supervised F/2F Mode Operation: The reader sends smart card data or
reader status data to the microcontroller approximately once every
second and wa its for an acknowledgment from the microcontroller. The
reader continues sending the data until an acknowledgment is received. If
an acknowledgment is not received after the third attempt, the reader
stops reading smart cards, the red LED starts flashing slowly (every 2
seconds), and a short triple beep sounds every 30 seconds. Once the
reader receives an acknowledgment, it begins reading smart cards again,
the beeper stops sounding and the red LED stops flashing.

28 Model 840/845 Contactless Smart Card Reader

If a PIN code is required, the green LED will flash while waiting to
receive the PIN code.

Card Read Op eration: Each time the reader reads a smart card, the
yellow LED blinks off briefly and the beeper sounds. On systems
configured for PIN entry, the green LED flashes to indicate that keypad
data is expected.

PIN Code Entry: All PIN codes must be entered in this format:
* x x x x # This appli es to Model 845 applicable modes only.

Reader Tamper Operati on: The 84x Readers incorporate a tamper switch.

While the reader is separated from its backplate, a ll normal smart card
reading functions are disa bled and a tamper conditi on is indicated by a
triple beep every 30 seconds. The red LED flashes quickly (every 400 ms)
and all communications with the microcontroller a r e suspended, taking
the reader off-line.

The reader is also equipped with an external tamper feature. To activate
this feature, connect a single- p ole, single-throw (SPST), normally-closed
pushbutton switch (installer-supplied) to connector JP3 on the printed
circuit board assembly and install the switch between the wall and reader
backplate. When the reader and the backplate are r emoved from the w all,
the switch will close; therefore, closing the connection, causing a tamper
condition.

Door Contact and Exit Request Inputs: The 84x Readers have a
4-state supervised door contact switch input and an exit request switch
input. The state of both switch inputs is periodically reported to the
microcontroller, but changes to switch inputs are reported immediately.

Wiegand 4001 Mode Operation: The reader sends badge data to the
microcontroller after a valid MIFARE

®

1 type contactless smart card is
