2 Mounting
The Vario Proximity Card Reader is intended to provide the reading component of access control, time and
attendance and alarm systems. It is intended to be mounted on a wall with adequate air flow around and
through it.
2.1 Mounting Instructions
1. Select where to mount the Vario Reader. Ensure the Vario Reader is mounted a minimum of 1.1m (3.5ft)
away from other wiring. E.g. ACM power, computer data wiring, telephone wiring and wiring to electric lock
devices. Use the template sticker provided in the kit as a guide to correctly position the Vario Reader.
2. Hold the rear case half against the wall and mark the mounting holes and cable entry area. The cable entry
area should align with a hole cut through the plaster wall-board. Cables are intended to be run inside the
wall. Use appropriate screws (not supplied) to affix the case to the wall.
3. Run the wiring. Refer to later sections of this manual for the electrical connections. Leave about 20cm (8") of
wire protruding through the centre of the mounted half of the case.
4. Connect the wiring to the Vario Reader electronics, then use the top case to press gently on the bottom
mounted case until you hear the clip snap into place.

3 Wiegand Connection
When using the standard Wiegand Interface to the access controller or reader expander two wiring methods
can be used. Dual LED operation allows the signalling of both LEDs independently using the LED control lines
and is ideal to show the status of alarm or other integrated signals. Single LED allows a single LED line to control
both LED colors.

Using the recommended cables as listed under the Technical Specifications, splice these cables together with
the pigtail of the reader and seal the splice. Route the cable from the reader to the host controller. Connect the
cables as shown in the diagrams above for either Dual LED Operation or Single LED Operation.
Connect the reader shield to a suitable earth point. DO NOT connect the shield to a ground or AUX
i
connection. DO NOT connect the shield wires together at the reader cable splice. With the shield wire
already terminated at the reader terminate the shield at the controller.
