Contactless Smart Card Reader

Installation Instructions Model: JT-MCR45(55)-32C

WHAT IS THE Contactless Smart Card Reader?

The Reader is an RFID Contactless Smart Card reader for use with
access control systems.
These installation instructions contain the following information:

 Mounting Instructions
 Connecting the reader to a host using the wiegand interface
 Testing and operation of the reader

How to install the PSAM card?

If the card reader is configured as software encrypted, it is no need
the PSAM card. But if it is hardware encrypted, the PASM card is
necessary. The steps to install the PSAM card are as follow:

1. Open the back cover of the reader first and then you could

find the socket of PSAM card.

2. Push the deck lid on the socket in the direction of sign

“OPEN”, and then open it.

3. Insert the flat side of PASM card (NOT THE SIDE WHICH

HAS MISSING CORNER) alone the guide groove on the
upper lid. Let the face which has contacts up (THIS SIDE
WILL FACE DOWN AFTER CLOSE THE LID). After that,
close the upper lid and push it in the opposite direction when
open it, make sure the lid be locked and fastened reliably.

4. Close the back cover of the card reader.

HOW TO MOUNT THE READER

To surface mount the reader, perform the following:

1. Determine an appropriate mounting position for the reader.

Ideally, for the maximum operating distance, avoid mounting
the reader directly on metal surfaces.

2. Peel off the back of the self-stick mounting label template

included with the unit and position it at the desired mounting
position.

3. Using the template as a guide, drill two holes (hole size is

indicated on mounting template) for mounting the reader to
the surface.

4. Drill a 1/2″ (13 mm) hole for the cable. If mounting on metal,

place a grommet or electrical tape around the edge of the hole
to protect the wire from chaffing.

5. Attach the reader to the mounting surface using the

appropriate screws (not supplied). The mounting template
may be left in place if desired since the reader will cover it
completely.

HOW TO CONNECT THE READER TO THE HOST

The Reader is supplied with an 18-inchpigtail, having a
7-conductor cable. To connect the reader to the host, perform the
following steps:

1. Prepare both the reader cable and host cables by cutting the

cable jacket back 1¼ inches and strip the wires ½ inch.

2. Splice the reader pigtail wires to the corresponding host wires

and cover each connection (see Figure 1).

3. Trim and cover all conductors that are not used.
Figure 1 below shows how you should wire the reader to the host.

Wiring Notes:

1. The individual wires coming out of the reader are color coded

according to the recommended wiegand standard.

2. When using a separate power supply for the reader, the reader

power supply and host must have a common ground.

3. The recommended cable depends on the distance from the

reader to the host. See Table 1 below for the correct wire gage
based upon distance. Larger wire gauges (smaller numbers)
are desirable. The wire must be stranded with an overall

shield, either foil or braided.

4. The cable shield wire on the reader should be attached to an

Earth ground (best) or signal ground connection at the panel
or power supply end of the cable. This configuration is best
for shielding the reader cable from external interference.

HOW TO TEST AND OPERATE THE READER

The reader should be tested after wiring it to the host. Do this by
performing the following steps:

1. Power up the reader. The LED and beeper will activate three

times. This indicates that the reader is working properly.

2. Present the configuration card to the reader. Power up the

reader. The LED and beeper will active two times in 1 ~ 10
seconds. This indicates that the reader is configuration
successful.(Must configured in 3 seconds after power up)

3. Present a Contactless Smart Card to the reader. The LED will

momentarily flash green and beep will activate one time (if
the reader is the factory default configuration). This indicates
that the card was read properly by reader.

4. After the card data is processed by the host, the host turn the

LED green. Refer to the host description of the LED
operation if the reader LED is controlled by the host.
