The Linear 2-N-1 BluePass Multi-Tech Reader is a combination
legacy proximity card reader and an advanced Bluetooth Low
Energy all-in-one reader. This reader is intended for use in
conjunction with an access control system that manages physical
access to a protected area. This reader allows for an access request
to be transmitted to a control panel using the industry standard
Wiegand protocol. End-users can present any combination of 125
KHz prox cards and Fobs, or Bluetooth Low Energy Credentials
via a supported smart device such as Android and Apple mobile
devices to request access using the Linear 2-N-1 BluePass Multi­Tech Reader.

This guide is intended as a brief reference used by an experienced
technician. For additional information, please visit the Linear

Drain Shield Ground

Voltage: +5.5 VDC – 16.0 VDC (12 VDC Nominal) at the reader
Curent Draw: 100 - 200 mA (typical @ 12 VDC), 225 mA max

peak @ 12 VDC low-power mode.

Cable Requirements

Belden 9535 or equivalent. Multi-conductor stranded with foil shield, minimum 24AWG. Maximum length 400ft (152m).

Output Formats

26 to 37-bit Wiegand formats.

Grounding

Shield must run continuously from the reader to the panel. At the panel, the reader ground, shield line, and earth ground must be
connected together at a single point.

Notes:

• Do not ground the shield line at the reader end, as this will create a potential ground loop.

• Ensure the shield foil and wire are taped and not exposed.

Power

A non-switching power supply at the panel is recommended to power the reader for the highest noise immunity and best performance.
We recommend using Linear’s stand-alone power supplies for optimum performance.

Voltage

• Current Draw: 100 - 200 mA typical, 225 mA max peak @ 12 VDC in low-power mode.

• At the Reader: +5.5 - 16 VDC. 12.0 VDC is recommended. A regulated power supply and 12 VDC at the reader is recommended
for best operation.

Note: The reader is in Low Power Mode by default. High-Power Mode can be confi gured via the Phone App.

Connection

Connections must be in accordance with NFPA 70.
WARNING: DO NOT connect this reader’s power supply to a receptacle controlled by a switch.
