WHAT IS THE OmniTek OmniSmart™ READER?

The OmniSmart Reader is an RFID Contactless Smart Card
proximity 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

If a different output protocol is required (Clock & Data or
Serial TTL), or an alternate configuration (different
security keys, tamper operation, LED control, etc.) is
required, consult the OmniSmart Configuration Manual
which can be found at www.omnitek.com/support.shtm

.

technical support.

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
and near other OmniSmart readers.

2. Peel off the back of the self-stick mounting label
template included with the unit and position it at the
desired mounting position. (Additional templates can
be downloaded from www.omnitek.com.)

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.

3. Splice the reader pigtail wires to the corresponding
host wires and cover each connection (see Figure 2).

4. If the tamper output is being utilized, connect the
purple wire to the correct input on the host.

5. Trim and cover all conductors that are not used.

Figure 1 below shows how to wire the reader to the host.

Wiring Notes:

1. The individual wires coming out of the reader are colo

coded according to the recommended Wiegand standard.

2. If either 5 or 12 volts are available, use 12 volts for bette
performance.

3. When using a separate power supply for the reader, the
reader, power supply and host must have a common ground.

4. The recommended cable depends on the distance from
the reader to the host. See Table 1 below for the correct
wire gauge based upon distance. Larger wire gauges
(lower numbers) are desirable. The wire must be stranded
with an overall shield, either foil or braided. If the tamper is
not being used, 5 conductor cable is required; otherwise 6
conductor cable is required.

5. 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.

Check all electrical codes for proper installation.

Card Reader Models OS10/30/40/45 are to be used
with control panels whose power supply is UL
listed Class 2 or equivalent.

HOW TO CONNECT THE READER TO THE HOST

The OmniSmart Reader is supplied with an 18-inch pigtail,
having a 6-conductor cable. To connect the reader to the
host, perform the following steps:

1. If the reader has a connector attached to it, cut it off
and discard it. This connector is used during testing.

2. Prepare both the reader cable and host cables by
cutting the cable jacket back 1¼ inches and strip the

½ inch.

Cable recommendations are only a guideline; use
any manufacturer that meets the gauge and shield
specifications. Lower gauges (smaller numbers)
have less resistance and are preferrable. The use of
plenium cable may be required by the local building
codes.

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 an OmniSmart Contactless Smart Card
to the reader. The LED will momentarily flash
green and a short beep will be emitted (if the
reader is the factory default configuration). This
indicates that the card was read properly by
OmniSmart.

3. After the card data is processed by the host, the
host can then turn the LED green or yellow.
Refer to the host description of the LED
operation if the reader LED is controlled by the
host.

HOW TO USE THE COVERS

OmniSmart readers include three different color covers.
After installation and test, the cover should be installed to
hide the mounting screws and deter vandalisim. Choose
the desired color and place on the reader from the top first
to engage the mounting tabs and then swing it down onto
the reader. Secure the cover to the reader using the
supplied Philips head screw or the supplied security screw.
(A security tool is included in the package with the screws.)

ERROR CONDITIONS

Whenever an error condition is signaled by the reader, the
red LED is flashed accompanied by a beep several times. The
following table explains what error message is being conveyed
by the number of flashes/beeps:

# of Beeps Meaning

4 The first byte of the data in the OmniTek

format is invalid, i.e., it is not of type
Wiegand, Clock & data, or Serial Text.

5 The Application Issuer data in the reader

does not match what is on the card.

6 No matching cryptographics keys were

found; authentication failed.
