MS-3000 MicroStar Reader

The MS-3000 MicroStar Reader

The MS-3000 MicroStar Reader is intended for installation on a window mullion or a door
frame, on or off metal, in proximity applications where an unobtrusive reader is required. The
reader provides an audible beeper and a multi colored LED to annunciate the reader's status
when used with 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-3000 MicroStar Reader is housed in a black, weatherproof, shock resistant package.
The reader provides optimum performance when mounted on aluminum; read range is slightly
reduced if the reader is not mounted on aluminum.

2.0 Mounting Instructions

Three holes need to be drilled to mount the MicroStar Reader (see Figure 1). One large hole
(0.875" - 7/8") accommodates the beeper and the reader cable. Two small holes are for
mounting the reader on the mullion or door frame (hole size is dependent upon the size of the
mounting screw).

NOTE: Do not mount the reader near sources of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) such as a
computer monitor. EMI degrades a reader's read range.

3.0 Connections

The MicroStar Reader does not require configuration; there are no switches or jumpers to set.
The MicroStar 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.
