The MS-9000 MegaStar Reader
The MS-9000 MegaStar Reader is intended for installation in proximity applications where an
extended read range is required. The reader provides an audio beeper and a multi colored LED
to annunciate the reader's status when used on a PXL-250, PXL-100, or IntelliProx.
• Amber – to indicate normal operation awaiting an access event
• Green – to indicate a valid card has been presented or the door has been unlocked for access
• Red – to indicate an invalid card has been presented or the door is in an alarm condition
The MS-9000 MegaStar Reader is housed in a black, weatherproof, shock resistant package.
The reader provides optimum performance when mounted at least ten inches away from metal
surfaces; read range is reduced if the reader is mounted on or near metal surfaces.

Mounting Instructions
Five holes need to be drilled to mount the MegaStar Reader (see Figure 1 on page 1). One hole
(0.375" – 3/8") accommodates the reader cable. Four holes are for mounting the reader on a wall
surface (hole size is dependent upon the size of the mounting screw – a 1/4" screw or bolt is
recommended).
For parking or related applications, the MegaStar Reader can be mounted to a metal "gooseneck" stand, provided the mounting surface on the stand is 4 inches x 4 inches or smaller. This
size restriction on the stand's mounting surface ensures the metal in the stand does not affect the
operation of the Reader. If the stand's mounting surface is greater than 4 inches x 4 inches a
mounting plate made of nonmetallic material is required between the stand's mounting surface
and the Reader to provide the necessary distance between Reader and metal to ensure optimum
read range.
Connections
The MegaStar Reader does not require configuration; there are no switches or jumpers to set.
The MegaStar Reader is normally connected to a PXL-250, PXL-100, or IntelliProx, but can be
connected to an alternative host controller/alarm panel through an IntelliProx used in its Wiegand
input device mode. All connections needed to support the reader are made through the reader's
cable. Please consult the tables on pages 2 and 3 for specific connection instructions.
PXL-250 Connections
The "A" reader connects to TB5, pins 1 through 6 (TB5 has a seventh pin, but no connection is
made to that pin). The "B" reader connects to TB6, pins 1 through 6 (TB6 has a seventh pin, but
no connection is made to that pin).
