Multi-technology Access Readers
Description
Transition™ 500-PIV Series multi-technology card
readers feature simultaneous compatibility with multivendor 125 kHz Proximity and PIV (ISO 14443A)
credential technologies—all in one reader. With this
remarkable technology combination, security
administrators can now deploy the Transition readers into
new or existing facilities.

Mounting the reader
All models of the T-500-PIV series readers can be
mounted using a U.S. single-gang electrical box or
directly to a wall.
1. Find a suitable mounting position on the door frame
or wall.
Note: For out of doors or wet locations, it is recommended
that the gasket provided be installed on the base as shown in
Figure 5.
2. If mounting directly to the wall, use one of the
following methods:
2a. Drill two vertical mounting holes from 3.25”
(83 cm) to 4.891” (125 cm) apart on the mounting
surface of the door frame or wall.
Figure 2. Direct wall mounting
2b. Models 520/525-PIV can be mounted using a
second pair of vertical mounting holes,
horizontally spaced 2.75” (70 cm) from the first
pair.

3. Drill one 0.625” (15.87 mm) diameter hole in wall for
the pigtail wire connection.
4. Follow the Cable Connection Chart to connect the
reader to the field panel and external door
equipment.
5. Mount the base plate to the wall using the supplied
screws.
6. Install gasket if required, see Figure 5.
7. Install the top cover to the reader base. The
base plate and top cover guides should be
aligned, so the connectors seat correctly.

8. Verify the connection is secure and install the
security screws on the top and bottom of the
reader.
9. Cover the exposed screws with the rubber
plugs provided.

connection at the power supply or field panel
end of the cable. Connect reader’s drain wire
to the cable shield. Connect shield wires at the
field panel.
Testing the reader
1. Power up the reader. Verify the power-on self
test LED/beep sequence:
- green LED flashes; two short beeps
- yellow LED flashes; three short beeps
- red LED flashes.
- yellow LED flashes.
2. Verify the yellow LED is on continously
indicating the reader is ready.
3. Present a badge that has been properly
enrolled in the system. Verify the yellow LED
flashes and a short beep is heard.
