DigiReader Series

INTRODUCTION

The DigiReader DR4200 Series Digital Proximity Readers (DigiReaders) are security devices that
reads digital credentials at ranges from 1 to 36 inches (2½ to 91 cm) depending upon the model and
the environmental conditions. DR4200 Series DigiReaders are bi-directional, so that a credential can
be read from either side of the sensor. DR4200 Series DigiReaders are used with the NexSentry 4100
Family, SE818SC and SE422 ACUs operating as stand-alone devices or in conjunction with a
NexSentry Manager, an SE6000 (a NexSentry Command Center NSCC) or an SE5850, (WSE
access control host systems). Connection between DigiReaders and an ACU is over the WSE
proprietary S-Net interface or over a Wiegand interface to a Wiegand ACU. The Wiegand data can
be either 26- or 34-bit Wiegand standard.

CAUTION 1. Read this manual carefully before attempting to wire in place a DR4200 Series

DigiReader. The warranty is void if damage occurs to the unit as a result of
incorrect wiring.

CAUTION 2. The information in this manual is not intended to conflict with the building codes,

electrical codes, fire codes, or safety codes required for any given installation.
In all cases, the prevailing building codes must take precedence.

Table 1A: DR4205 Series Specifications

BASIC OPERATION

DigiReaders emit a low-level 140-kHz field. When a digital credential card is placed in this field, a
digital chip embedded in the key uses the fields energy to become activated. Once activated, the
key responds by broadcasting a 70-kHz signal, modulated with a key-specific code sequence, back
to the reader. The reader receives this signal and converts it to a digital code which is then sent to
the Controller. The Controller identifies the digital credential according to its code and makes either
an access granted or an access denied decision.

DR4205K (/W) has a keypad on the face of the DigiReader. The key pad is used to enter the users
Personal Identification Number (PIN). (See the appropriate Controller or security management
system manual for details on PIN assignment.)

The user may enter his or her own PIN. The LED turns amber, and then the user presents a digital
credential; or the user may first present the key, the LED turns amber, and then the user enters the
PIN. The time allotted for this procedure is defined by the PIN GRACE PERIOD which is set with
the Controller SYSTEM command. (See the appropriate Controller or security management system
manual for information on setting this parameter.) If an error is made in entering the PIN, the user
may press the "*" key to clear the keypad and begin entry again.

DigiReader Series

The keypad versions can be configured for keypad-only use or credential-only use. Refer to your
controller manual or security management system manual for details on setup and configuration.

DR4200K is just the keypad part of the DR4205K.

LED OPERATION

LED (S-NET OPERATION)

When the DigiReader is on line, the LED is red during the ready state. The TUNE command is used
to specify LED and beeper behavior when a valid key is presented. An equivalent of the tune
command may be found in each WSE security management system system.

DigiReaders have a single three-color LED that can be controlled by the Controller. If power is applied
to the unit when not connected to a Controller, or improperly configured at the Controller, the LED
acts as follows: Flashes red four times in four seconds, changes to steady amber for four seconds
and then turns off for 52 seconds. When a key is presented, the sensor beeps four times, and the
LED flashes amber until the key is moved out of range. The flashing red, steady amber, off cycle
then resumes and repeats indefinitely while power is supplied.

4 P/N 6600025, REV. BX

DigiReader Series

LED (WIEGAND OPERATION)

The LED is controlled to be red or green by the level of the Wiegand LED control input.

120-OHM TERMINATION JUMPER

The internal jumper places 120 ohms of resistance between Data A and Data B for proper end-of­line termination. Install the jumper only if the DR4200 Series DigiReader is the last device on the
cable. If you are using:

There are two switches on most DR4200 Series DigiReader printed circuit board, as follows,
(refer to Figure 2):

 Switch SW1 is used to select between the S-Net or Wiegand operating modes.

 Switch SW2 is used to set the S-Net address.

The DR4201 reader has a 5-position DIP-switch S1, which combines the functions of the rotary
address switches S1 and S2 used by the other DR4200 Series DigiReaders. This is described in
the DR4201 ADDRESS DIP-SWITCH section, below.

P/N 6600025, REV. BX 7

DIGIREADER ADDRESS

Each DigiReader must have a unique address. SW1 is used to select the special reader modes
of operation, (as shown in Table 6). SW1 should be set to 0 for S-Net operation and F for Wiegand
operation. SW2 is set in the factory to 1 but may be set to an address between 1 and 15 (F). Valid
addresses may be limited by the controller; (see the appropriate controller manual).

Figure 2: Address Switch

When used with an SE422 controller, addresses 01 and 02 should be assigned to nodes 13/15 and
14/16, respectively.

DR4205K SPECIAL OPERATING FEATURE

The DR4205K reader has two modes of operation, dependent on the setting of address switch SW1,
(which sets the upper byte of the address): the Normal Mode (SW1 = 0 or 8), and the PIN/Key Mode
(SW1 = 4, 5 or 6 or C, D or E). These two modes are described below.

NORMAL MODE

Address switch SW1 set to 0, the DR4205K operates in its normal mode. Address switch SW2
is then set to the physical S-Net address of the DR4205K: 1 through 9 and A through F (addresses
1 through 15). In order to address the 16th reader in the normal mode, SW1 = 8 and SW2 = 0.

Example: SW1 = 0 and SW2 = 1 to F sets normal mode for nodes #1-15;

SW1 = 8 and SW2 = 0 sets normal mode for node #16.

Operation in Normal Mode:

n DKR portion only enabled: the key is sent as a key, and no PIN is expected.
n VIP portion only enabled: the PIN is sent as a PIN, with the number of PIN digits to be

entered set in the SYSTEM command. No key is expected.

n Both DKR and VIP portions enabled: the key is sent as a key, the PIN is sent as a PIN.

Both key and PIN are expected (in either order). The number of PIN digits to be entered
is set in the PIN DIGITS entry of the SYSTEM command.

PIN/KEY MODE

Address switch SW1 set to 4, 5 or 6, the DR4205K operates in its 'PIN/Key' mode, where: either
a) the PIN will be sent as a key, or b) the key will be sent as a PIN. The number of digits in the PIN
number is determined by the 4, 5 or 6 of switch SW1, and, again, address switch SW2 determines
the physical S-Net address of the DR4205K for nodes 1 to 15. In order to address the 16th reader
in the PIN/key mode, SW1 = C, D or E and SW2 = 0. NOTE: C = 8 + 4, D = 8 + 5 and E = 8 + 6.

Example: SW1-SW2 set as 41, 51 or 61, i.e. SW1 = 4, 5 or 6 and SW2 = 1 set node #1 in 'PIN/

Key' mode, for a 4-, 5- or 6-digit PIN, respectively; similarly for nodes 2 through 15; but
for node 16, for a 4-, 5- or 6-digit PIN, SW1-SW2 = C0, D0 or E0, respectively.

Operation in PIN/Key Mode:

n SW1 set to 4, 5, or 6 (or C, D or E): determines the number of PIN digits, 4, 5 or 6, (which

must match the number of digits set in the PIN DIGITS entry of the SYSTEM command)..

n DKR portion only enabled: the key is sent as a PIN.
n VIP portion only enabled: the PIN is sent as a key.
n Both DKR and VIP portions enabled: the key is sent as a key, the PIN is sent as a PIN.

Both key and PIN are expected (in either order). The number of PIN digits to be entered
is set both in SW1 and in the PIN DIGITS entry of the SYSTEM command. (Note that with
both the DKR and VIP portions enabled the operation is the same as for the normal mode.)

P/N 6600025, REV. BX 9

DR4201 ADDRESS DIP-SWITCH

The DR4201 reader has a single 5-position DIP-switch S1 for address selection, see figure 3, below,
which demonstrates S-Net address 1 being selected. Table 7, below, shows the possible
addressing selections.

TAMPER SIGNAL (S-NET ONLY)

DR4200 Series DigiReaders send a tamper signal to an S-Net-based Controller each time an
address switch (SW1 or SW2, described above) is changed. Note that the DR4208, DR4226 and

DR4238 have physical tamper switches.

S-NET CONNECTIONS

The S-Net is an RS485 serial network for communication between the Controller and node devices.
Typically, the cable used is two twisted pairs with an overall shield; one pair is for data, the other
pair is for DC power. Terminate the last S-Net device with a 120-ohm, ¼ watt resistor or termination
jumper as shown in Figure 2. The maximum S-Net length is 4000 feet (1200 meters).

S-Net cable should only be installed in a daisy-chained fashion. WSE strongly recommends
replacing all crimp lug/soldered splices by daisy-chained connections in and out of each device.
(Note that up to two AD4305 NexStar RS485 Multiplexers may be used to simplify wiring and extend
a network.)

Where a pigtail cable is provided with reader, splices are required and the installer should try to keep
the splice within 3 feet of the reader, if possible, to allow splice inspection at the reader location.

The type of cable used for the S-Net will depend on the total length and the number of devices
connected. Separate twisted-pair cables should be used for data and power when the S-Net exceeds
500 feet (152 meters). See Table 4 for WSE recommended cables.

WIEGAND CONNECTIONS

Refer to the following table for the proper wire size for a particular cable length to use in a DigiReader
Wiegand application.

MOUNTING LOCATION (DR4201 READER)

The DR 4201 reader is designed to be mounted in a single-gang switch-plate receptacle, attached
to the back of a single-gang switch plate cover, as shown in figures 6 and 7, below.

Figure 6: DR4201 Front View (Mounted)

(The DR 4201 reader'sLED mode indicator is visible through the plastic cover in the upper left corner.)

P/N 6600025, REV. BX 13

Figure 7: DR4201 Side View (Mounted)

MOUNTING LOCATION (OTHER READERS)

Use care when choosing the installation site. To avoid possible external sources of RF interference,
do not locate the unit near motors, pumps, generators, DC-AC converters, AC switching relays, light
dimmers, or any other devices that emit an electronic radar frequency. Do not locate the unit within
10 feet (3 m) of a computer terminal.

The DR4203 and DR4204 units are the only two readers that are specifically designed to be mounted
on metal. Metal in the vicinity of any of the other devices can reduce the read range. In general,
as the amount of metal in close proximity to the device increases, the reliable maximum read range
decreases. For optimum operation, ensure that DigiReader has a minimum of 6 inches (15 cm)
clearance at the rear and surrounding sides, as shown in Figure 4. Never cover the front of the
DigiReader with any type of metal.

Use the method appropriate to the mounting surface material; if required, use sealing compound to
maintain water-resistance.

DigiReader Series

TESTING THE DIGIREADER LOCATION

If RF interference is suspected at a particular location, check the site prior to mounting the
DigiReader. A DigiReader may respond in one of two ways in the presence of RF interference:

 The unit may beep and the LED illuminate with no access credential present.

 Credential reads may be inaccurate or slow.

Use the following procedure to identify a location and position for DigiReader to minimize
interference.

1. Set the DigiReader address switches SW1 and SW2 to FF (test mode).

 Connect only the wires which provide power.

 Hold the DigiReader against the installation surface.

 Without presenting a credential to the reader, listen for beeps indicating RF interference.

(Make sure you do not have a credential in your pocket or elsewhere, where it might be
detected.)

 The greater the number of beeps, the noisier the readers environment.

2. Once a quiet (free of RF noise) location has been identified, connect the DATA A and DATA B

wires.

 Set switches SW1 and SW2 to the correct address. The Controller must also be

connected to the S-Net and set up to read credentials.

 Present a valid credential to the unit.

WINDOW MOUNTING DR4205GM

This type of mounting is necessary for DR4205GM unit.

1. Clean the window with glass cleaner or isopropyl alcohol and dry thoroughly.

2. Spray or wipe the window with slightly soapy water.

3. While the window is still wet, peel off the paper backing of the decal and press against the wet
section of the window and move around to release any air bubbles to assure maximum contact
with the window. Wipe dry any extra water coming out from the sides. See Figure 13.

4. Once the reader and decal are in place, it may be necessary to temporarily tape the reader to
the window while the adhesive sets. It should take approximately 10 minutes.

5. While the adhesive is setting, follow the general installation instructions on routing the cable

through the side channel and addressing the unit. After determining which side the cable will
be routed through, drill a hole in that side of the front facia to match the pre-drilled slots in the
back panel of the reader.
Note: To find exact hole location for drilling, look for a circle of smooth area on the side of the
facia, where there is an absence of texture in the lexan material. Reference page 16 for cabling
instructions. Also see Figure 14 below.

6. Secure the cover as shown in Figure 14.

7. After the reader is securely set to the window, remove any masking tape used and clean the

window surrounding the reader.
