supplied) as indicated on the template.
To surface mount the reader, perform the following:
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 1/2” (13 mm) hole for the cable. If
mounting on metal, place a grommet or
electrical tape around the edge of the hole.
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 both the reader cable and host cables
by cutting the cable jacket back 1¼ inches and
strip the wires ½ inch.
2. Splice the reader pigtail wires to the
corresponding host wires and cover each
connection (see Figure 2).
3. If the tamper output is being utilized, connect
the purple wire to the correct input on the host.
4. Trim and cover all conductors that are not used.
Figure 2 below shows how you should wire the
reader to the host.

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 2 for the correct card type
based on the reader model.) The LED will
momentarily flash green and a short beep will
be emitted. This indicates that the card was
read properly by OmniProx.
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.
