supplied) as indicated on the template.

HOW TO CONNECT THE READER TO THE HOST

The OmniProx Reader is supplied with an 18-inch
pigtail, having a 6-conductor cable. To connect the
Reader to the Host, perform the following steps:

1. Prepare the Reader cable by cutting the cable
jacket back 1¼ inches and strip the wires ½
inch.

2. Prepare the Host cable by cutting the cable
jacket back 1¼ inches and strip the wires ½
inch.

3. Splice the Reader pigtail wires to the
corresponding Host wires and cover each
connection (see Figure 1).

4. If the tamper output is being utilized, connect
the purple wire to the correct input on the host.

5. Trim and cover all conductors that are not used.

1. Determine an appropriate mounting position
for the Reader.

2. Peel off the back of the self-stick mounting
label template included with the unit and place
at the desired mounting position. (Additional
templates can be downloaded from
www.omniprox.com.)

3. Using the template as a guide, drill two holes
(hole size is indicated on mounting template)
for mounting the Reader to the surface.

4. Drill a 7/16” (10mm) hole for the cable. If
mounting on metal, place a grommet or
electrical tape around the edge of the hole.

5. Route the interface cable from the Reader
and/or power supply to the host. A linear type

power supply is recommended.

NOTE: The OmniProx Reader can also be mounted using

strong epoxy glue. After application, the Reader should be
firmly held in place until the glue dries.

Check all electrical codes for proper installation.

Figure 1 below shows how you should wire the
Reader to the Host.

Cable Notes:

1. The individual wires coming out of the reader are
color coded according to the recommended
Wiegand standard.

2. When using a separate power supply for the

must have a common ground.

3. The recommended cable is Alpha 1295C which
has five conductors. If the Host is monitoring the
Reader’s tamper output, use six conductor Alpha
1296C. Larger wire gauges are acceptable. The

either foil or braided.

4. The cable shield wire on the Reader should be

-1-

attached to an Earth ground (best) or signal

ground connection at the panel or power supply

end of the cable. This configuration is best for
shielding the Reader cable from external
interference.

HOW TO TEST AND OPERATE THE READER

The Reader should be tested after wiring it to a
power supply and the Host. Do this by performing
the following steps:

1. Power up the Reader. The LED and Beeper will
activate three times. This indicates that the
Reader is working properly.

2. Present the appropriate type of ID card to the
Reader. (See Table 1 for the correct card type
based on the reader model.) The LED should
momentarily flash green and a short beep will
be emitted. This indicates that the card was
read properly by OmniProx and this LED flash
and beep is generated by the Reader.

3. After the card data is processed by the Host,
the Host can then turn the LED green or yellow.
Refer to the Host description of the LED
operation if the Reader LED is controlled by the
Host.
