Serial ProxPro Reader™ Installation Manual

System Overview

The Serial ProxPro reader is a s elf c ontained proxim ity reader. T he two piece polycarbonate enclosure has an
rubber gasket that seals the pieces together and a cable fitting that seals the c able entry. The water resistant
unit is approved for outdoor use. The enclos ure is designed to fit on a single gang electric al box. A Bi-color
LED and audible tone enhance user feedback. A tamper switch feature is available that will alert the Host
when the enclosure is opened. An internal DIP switch configures the unit for a RS232, RS422 or RS485
interface. The DIP switch is also used for enabling/disabling the audible tone. A keypad version is available.

Installation of the Serial ProxPro reader c onsists of m ounting, ver ifying the DIP switch settings, setting a tuning
jumper and connecting the cable to the Host.

Operation

Access Cards m ay be presented to either the front or the bac k of the reader. Optimum read range is achieved
when the access card is presented par allel to the front reader face. The LED is normally controlled by the
internal reader firm ware. The LED nor mal s tate is red and indicates that the reader is ready to read an access
card. The LED flashes green when the access card is read and the message is transmitted to the Host
system. When the reader is ready for another access card, the LED returns to red (about 250 milliseconds).

Parts List

1. Serial ProxPro Reader qty 1 (included)

2. #6-32 x 1 self tapping screws, Type T or 23 qty 2 (included)

3. Installation Manual qty 1 (included)

4. Cable Fitting qty 1 (included)

5. Cable, 3,4 or 5 conductor, 22AWG as required (50 to 4000 feet)
(Alpha 1295 C or equivalent) See cable notes.

6. DC Power Supply 12V/120mA or 24V/150mA 1 (Installer supplied)

7. In the E.U. the recommended power supply is the Micro State Electronics Model PS-5.

Installation Procedure

1. Determine an appropriate mounting position for the reader . The reader drawing below is actual size and
may be used as a template. Install a single or
for #6 fas teners. If mounting to a m etal surface, drill two 7/64 (.109) inch holes and use the enclosed self
tapping screws for mounting.

2. Route the interface cable from the reader and/or power supply to the Host.

3. Prepare the cab le by cutting the cable jacket back 2 ( two) inches and strip the wires 1/4 inch. Tinning the
wires is not required.

4. Pry off the center face plate by placing a thin blade into the grove that outlines the f ace of the r eader. Use
care to avoid scratching t he surface of the reader. The f ace plate is attached to the reader by friction
only. The screws that hold the enclosure pieces together will be exposed. Loosen the four screws to open
the enclosure (the enclosure screws are captive in the cover).

5. Install th e cable fitt ing on the rear of the reader. F eed the cable through the cable fitting, tighten the fitting
nut so the cable j acket is flush with the printed c ircuit board. Dress the cable conduc tors and connect the
reader to the Host according to the term inal des c riptions in the dim ens ion diagram. The descriptions are on
the PCB guard in the r eader. Connect the drain line of the shield to terminal 2 (Power Supply Ground).
Terminal 5, Data Return, is to be connected to the ground of the Host if the power supply ground is not
common with the Host. The opposite end of the drain line should be cut flush with the jacket and left
disconnected.

6. If the tamper feature is available on the Host, connect the tamper switch using the connections
recommended by the Host docum entation. The switch is a single pole, double throw. When the inner reader
cover is removed, the tamper switch is released. The TB1 connections to the tamper switch are pins 10 and

11. Pin 10 is the common c ontac t of the s witch and pin 11 is either the normally open or closed. Jumper P3
selects the contact of the tamper switch, either the normally closed or the normally open contact. The
default position is P3 across pins 1 and 2. This selects the nor mally open contact on TB1 pin 11. If the

double gang electrical box or drill the appropriate m ounting

normally closed contact is required, m ove P3 across pins 2 and 3. (Note - “normally open and normally
closed” refer to the Pin 11 status while the cover is removed.) The contacts are rated for 100m A at 35
VDC.

7. M ount the base of the reader that holds the electronic s to the gang box or surface using the two holes
located on the center axis of the reader. T wo #6-32 x 1 inch screws are provided f or mounting to a gang
box or metal surface.

8. Set the DIP switches according to the table in the section, DIP Switch Settings.

9. Place the jumper on P1 between pins 1 and 2 when mounting to a metallic surface or to a junction box
with a metal cover plate. Otherwise, the jumper should be between pins 2 and 3, the default position.

10. After wiring the Reader and power supply, the Reader is ready to be tested. Pow er up th e Read er and the
LED and Beeper will flash and beep 3 times in a sequence of two short delays and one long delay. This
indicates that the m icro-controller unit is work ing properly. Present an ID card to the Reader and the LED
should momentarily turn green, indicating a read of the card.

11. Replace the top cover and face plate.

Cable Notes

1. The ProxPro Ser ial reader internally connects GROUND to SIG G ND. As a res ult, the power supply used to
power the reader and Host must have a common ground (voltage reference).

2. RS232 (DTE) - A 5 conductor cable (Alpha 1295 C or equivalent) is required when using the RS232
interface. It is recom mended that the RD line be connec ted for com patibility with future firmware upgrades.
The DTR/DSR hardware handshake lines do not need to be connected to the host. T he maximum cable
length for the RS232 interface is 50 - 200 f eet. Connec t TB1- 1 (DC+) and TB1--2 (Gr ound) for power supply
and TB1-6 (TD output)), TB1-7 (RD input) and TB1-3 (Signal Ground) for RS232.

3. RS422 - A 7 conduc tor cable ( Alpha 1297 C or equivalent) is required when using the RS422 interf ace. It is
recommended that the RX+ and RX- lines be connected for compatibility with future upgrades. The
maximum cable length f or the RS422 interf ace is 4000 feet. Connect T B1-1 (DC+) and TB1-2 (Gr ound) to
power supply and TB1-4 (TX+), TB1-5 (TX-), TB1-6 (RX+), TB1-7 (RX-) and TB1-3 (Signal Ground) for
RS422.

4. RS485 - A 5 conduc tor cable (Alpha 1295c or equivalent) is required when using the RS485 interface. The
maximum cable length for the RS485 interface is 4000 f eet. Connect TB1-1 (DC+) and TB1-2 (Ground) to
power supply and TB1-4 (485+), TB1- 5 (485-) and TB1-3 (signal ground) for RS485. Multi-drop protocols
are not currently supported. Contact HID Corporation customer service to inquire about specifying a
particular software protocol.

5. Tamp er Switch Feature - A 22 AW G twisted pair, shielded, s tranded cable (Belden 9330 or equivalent) is
often required for the tam per switch. Follow the recom m endations of the manuf acturer of the Host system.
If the tamper input is a super vised input, the "end of line" resistors may be mounted in the enclosure. Use
extreme care and shield any bare wire from the printed circuit assembly and its components.

6. Cable fitting - The inner diameter of the cable fitting will accom modate a cable with an outer diameter of
.300 inches (nominally). If larger diameter (or two cables) must be accommodated, do not use the fitting.

7. Shield - Connect cable shield by connecting drain wire to TB1-2 ground. Leave foil and drain wire
disconnected at host end of cable by cutting them off at the end of the cable jacket .

RS232/RS422/RS485 Interface Considerations

1. The ProxPro Serial reader operates in a send only mode. However, it is r ecommended that the interface
receive line(s) be connected for compatibility with future firmware upgrades.

2. The RS232 interface includes connections for DTR/DSR hardware handshake lines. However, the
ProxPro Serial reader does not support hardware handshake at this time.

4. The message format for RS232, RS422 and RS485 are identical. There are no provisions for node
addresses in the message.

RS232/RS422/RS485 Card Message Specification

When Access Cards (transponders) are presented to the ProxPro reader, the reader sends a message. The
message is in the following format:

CCDDDDDDDDDDXX<CR><LF>
^ First character sent

1. All characters C, D and X are ASCII encoded, hexadecimal digits.
(i.e. The hex value 7 is sent as an ASCII character 7 or the hex value E is sent as an ASCII character E)

2. The CC field is reserved for use by HID Corporation. The valid values are 00 through 7F.

3. The DDDDDDDDDD field is the transponders (Access Card) data. The valid values are 0000000000
through 1FFFFFFFFF (ASCII).

4. The XX field is a computed c heck sum. T he check sum is calculated by first grouping the message data into
the pairs CC DD DD DD DD DD. Each pair of characters represents one byte of data. Then each pair of
characters is converted from ASCII to their respective hex values. At this point, the 6 bytes are added
together. The checksum is equal to the least significant 8 bits of the result.

5. <CR> is the ASCII code for a carriage return. (0D hex)

6. <LF> is the ASCII code for a line feed. (0A hex)

7. For example, if the ProxPro reads a transponder (Access Card) that contains the value CC=00 and
DDDDDDDDDD=01234ABCDE, the reader will report the ASCII message 0001234ABCDE08<CR><LF>.
Note that each of the charac ters is ASCII encoded. The actual bytes (hex value) that are sent to the host
are <30><30><30><31><32><33><34><41><42><43><44><45><30><38><0D><0A>. The check sum was
computed by adding 00 + 01 + 23 + 4A + BC + DE = 208 hex. The checksum is the least significant 8 bits of
this result or 08 hex.

8. The communications settings are 9600 BAUD, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.

DIP Switch Settings

There are two switches on the ProxPro Serial reader that are used to select several different modes of
operation. The following is a diagram detailing the default switch settings.

DIP Switch Settings, continued
SW1-1, 2 and 3 Not used.

SW1-4 Keypad Operation. The keyboard data can be processed by the reader or m ay be connected directly

to the Host. When Switch 1-4 is in the "off" position, the host is expected to
process any key presses (2 of 7 or 3 x 4 form ats). W hen Switch 1-4 is in the "on"
position, the reader scans the keyboard and outputs the keyboard entries over the
selected interface. The message is the ASCII representation of the key that is
pressed. For example, if the “4” is pressed, the reader will output a <34 hex>
(ASCII encoded “4”).

SW1-5 Beeper Operation. The Beeper may be enabled or disabled. If enabled, the reader will issue a beep

while flashing a green LED af ter a card is read. Switch 1-5 in the "on" position
enables the audible tone. Switch 1-5 in the "off" position disables the audible tone.

SW1-6 Terminating Resistor. Some RS422/RS485 connections require that the RX- line be ter minated with a

resistor to RX+. If SW1-6 is in the "off" position, there is no term inating resistor on
RX-. If SW 1-6 is in the "on", then a 120 ohm resistor is connec ted between RX+
and RX-.

SW1-7 Line Setting. SW1-7 is us ed to conf igure the reader's inter face conf iguration. SW1-7 should be

in the "off" position for RS232 and RS422 operation and “on” for RS485 operation.

SW1-8 Line Setting. SW1-8 is us ed to conf igure the reader's inter face conf iguration. SW1-8 should be

in the "off" position for RS232 and RS422 operation and “on” for RS485 operation.

SW2-1 Reader Interface. SW2-1, SW2-2 and SW2-3 are used to select the reader's interface
SW2-2 Reader Interface. configuration. Currently there are 3 options available. They are:
SW2-3 Reader Interface. 1. SW2-1 "on", SW2-2 "on" and SW2-3 "on" selects the RS232 interface.

2. SW2-1 "on", SW2-2 "on" and SW2-3 "off" selects the RS422 interface.

3. SW2-1 “on”, SW2-2 “off” and SW2-3 “off” selects the RS485 interface.

Keypad Option Notes:

This section of this doc um ent desc ribes the k eypad interface. T he k eypad has twelve keys, four rows by three
columns. The characters 0 to 9, # and * are arranged the same as a standard telephone keypad. There are two
methods for interfacing to the Keypad.

The first configuration (K version, internal keypad) processes the keypad entries in the reader and then
transmits the data to the host system via the RS232/422 data lines . The reader outputs eac h key as an ASCII
encoded hexadecimal digit. The dec oding of the message sent through the RS232/422 interface is the only
processing required of the host s ystem. The user inter face has been implem ented in the most generic fashion
to give the integrator the most flexibility.

The Second conf iguration (S version, direct connec t keypad), the Host must scan the k eypad directly using a
separate cable.

K Version - Internal keypad processing

Length (Buffer keys) Option

The length option chooses the num ber of key entries that will be buffered before the m essage is sent to the
host. The maximum number of entries is 11. When the option is set for multiple entries the reader has a five (5)
second timer that will clear all entries after five seconds has expired between entries. The length option
requires the user to enter the program med number of key entries. Upon completion of the last key entry, the
message is assem bled and sent. T his requires the system integrator to c onfigure the reader for the num ber of
key entries before installation.

User Interface

The user is able to press k eys at any time. Card reads and k ey entries are independent of each other, the user
is not required to follow any sequence, unless specified by the system integrator. The reader is equipped to
beep, flash the LED and give tactile feedback when a key is pressed. The amount of time is 5 (five) seconds
between key entries when the multiple key entry option is used. If the time expires between key entries, all keys
entered are cleared and the user must start the sequence from the beginning.

Keypad Messages

The keypad message follows a bas ic form at. The reader outputs each key as an ASCII encoded hexadecim al
digit. For an example, if the user presses the:

five key, the host receives ASCII 5 <35 hex>
eight key, the host receives ASCII 8 <38 hex>
star key “*”, the host receives ASCII A <2A hex>
number key “#”, the host receives ASCII B <23 hex>

If the ProxPro has been factory configured for buffering, the reader will buffer the correct number of keys
before transmitting the serial ASCII message.

For an example, if the buffer length equals 3 keys, and the user presses keys 4, 5 and 6, The host will receive
(ASCII) 4,5,6, CR,LF, or <34H 35H 36H 0DH 0AH>

.

The communications settings are 9600 BAUD, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity. The internal keypad processing
mode is available on the Serial ProxPro 5352XXKXX versions.

Keypad Scanning 2 of 7 (K version)

This mode requires a separate cable to be supplied that connec ts to the Keypad board, inside the ProxPro, to
the Host via P2. P2 is a 7 position terminal st rip. Switch 1-4 (SW 1-4) should be switched to the “off” position.
The reader will then NOT process the keypad data, and it will be decoded by the host in 2 of 7 format..

The keypad has a matrix of contacts corresponding with the matrix of keys. The contact outputs are wired to
the seven terminals of P2. T he seven term inals are c alled P2-1 thru P2-7 and provide the 2 of 7 decode of the
buttons. When a k ey is pressed, the button closes two contacts that pull 2 lines to ground. This results of the
key entries are in the table below. The reader and the host that is scanning the k eypad will require a common
signal ground. The connection is to be made on either pin 2 (power supply ground) or 5 (Data Return) of TB1 of
the Serial ProxPro.

This method of interfacing the keypad requires additional processing by the host. These include the de­bouncing of the keys, decoding of the keypad, timing between key entries, as well as others depending on the
Host. The 2 of 7 format is available on the Serial ProxPro 5352XXKXX versions.

S Version - Direct connect keypad Scanning - 3 X 4 Matrix format

The Serial ProxPr o reader is available with a 3 x 4 m atrix keypad. The keypad is independent of the Serial
ProxPro reader and only provides the connections to the keypad. This mode requir es a separate cable to be
supplied that connects to the Keypad board, inside the ProxPro, to the Host via P2. P2 is a 7 position terminal
strip. The following is the table for the contact closures.

This table indicates the connection between the connector pins when a key is pressed. For example, if key 3 is
pressed P2-5 is connected (shorted) to P2-1. This is available on the Serial ProxPro 5352XXSXX versions.
