MS-7000: SuperStar Reader

The MS-7000 SuperStar Reader

The MS-7000 SuperStar Reader is intended for installation in proximity applications where an
extended read range is required. The reader provides an audible 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-7000 SuperStar Reader is housed in a black or white, weatherproof, shock resistant
package. The reader provides optimum performance when mounted at least four inches away from
metal surfaces; read range is reduced if the reader is mounted on or near metal surfaces.

2.0 Mounting Instructions

Five holes need to be drilled to mount the SuperStar 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 #10 screw is recommended).
A small recess may be necessary to accommodate the beeper (0.75" – 3/4" x 0.20" Deep).

Quick Start GuideMS-7000

For parking or similar applications, the SuperStar Reader can be mounted to a metal "gooseneck"
stand. Since the Reader cannot be mounted directly to a metal surface without affecting read range,
the Reader must be mounted on some kind of a nonmetallic mounting plate, which is then mounted
to the gooseneck stand. The larger the mounting surface of the gooseneck stand, the greater the
distance required between reader and mounting surface.

A nonmetallic (PVC) mounting plate is provided for these applications. For a stand with a mounting
surface of 4 inches by 4 inches or smaller, the MP-7 mounting plate provides 1/2 inch of separation
between the reader and the gooseneck mounting surface. If the mounting surface is larger than these
dimensions, additional mounting plates may be necessary to provide the necessary distance
between Reader and stand to ensure optimum read range (available from Keri Systems – p/n MP-7).

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