WALL READER-CORE, USER MANUAL
The SecureALL wall reader-core is an RF communication device that interfaces with
doors which contain both electrified strikes and panic bars for egress capability (i.e. Von
Duprin hardware). The electrified strike doors come complete with a control box,
typically mounted above the door or at a remote location within 100 feet of the door, into
which a SecureALL interface unit is mounted and wired to the control electronics. A
CAT-5 cable runs from the interface unit, typically along the door frame, to a doublegang plastic box at approximately waist height. The SecureALL reader unit is mounted
in this box. The CAT-5 cable provides both power and communication between the
reader and the control unit. The reader contains antennas that allow it to communicate
with routers mounted throughout a building (which enables single point, central control
capability), as well as with hands-free U-Keys that users carry with them which identify
all portals they have access to. When a U-Key approaches a door, the reader unit
communicates with it and if it determines that individual is allowed access, a signal is
sent to the control box and a dry contact closure unlocks the door. There are no buttons
to press and no settings to be changed in the wall reader. This is all accomplished at the
factory.
The wall reader-core can also be used to control a garage gate system (i.e. Elite gate
opener). The same basic cabling as described above will apply but it is most likely that
there will be two reader boxes, mounted on opposite sides of the gate. This will allow for
improved beam focusing as a car approaches and yield better system repeatability. A dry
contact closure is used to activate the gate.
The wall reader-core can be powered by certified AC powered DC source.
The wall reader-core can be used as an automatic U-Key ID reader (similar to a Barcode
reader), powered by a USB adapter that provides both power and data connectivity.
The wall reader-core can be battery operated if a customer so desires. In this case, there
will be no power cabling and if RF communication is possible between the reader unit
and the actuator unit, then data lines can also be eliminated. In this instance, once the
reader unit is installed, the only user interaction is to replace three AA batteries when
their voltage falls below a predetermined level. This is accomplished by removing the
battery compartment cover, replacing the batteries and then reversing the process to put it
back together again. Users change no settings in the reader unit.
