General
The Model 230/240 Wall Mount Combination Proximity &
Magnetic Stripe Card Readers read the following format cards:
• Magnetic Stripe: ABA/ANSI/ISO and EMPI
• Proximity: HID 26-36 bit, EMPI and Proxi 10
The readers are normally wall mounted and designed for indoor
or outdoor use.
Proximity cards are placed in front of the reader and normally
read at a distance of six inches (15.2 cm) at +5 VDC and seven
inches (17.7 cm) at 12.0 VDC. Mounting the readers on metal
will typically reduce the distance. The data is transmitted to any
host controller that can supply +5 to +24 VDC operating voltage
to the reader, and that can accept the standard Wiegand 26-bit
or 34-bit format.
Pre-Installation
1. The host controller must supply +5 to +24 VDC operating
voltage to the reader. The voltage drop as measured
across the reader must be within 5 to 24.0 VDC.
2. The maximum recommended reader distance from the
host is:
200 feet with #22 AWG 5 or 6-wire cable
500 feet with #18 AWG 5 or 6-wire cable
Unshielded wire is acceptable. Some host controllers
may require tighter standards.
Mounting
1. The reader is designed to be mounted with the slot
facing the floor. The user inserts the card upward into the
card insertion slot.
2. The reader can be mounted on a standard single-gang
handy box, (the preferred method) or on any firm flat
surface. The mounting screws should be firmly tightened,
but not excessively. Note that the read head assembly
screws are purposely loose to allow the head to "float";
no adjustments are necessary. See Figure 1.
Figure 1
3. For outdoor applications, use a suitable weather-proof
back box, or handy box, and install the weather seal
(provided) on the back of the readers' base by pushing it
securely and evenly into the "U" shaped recess. See
Figure 2.

Grasp the lower edge of the reader cover. While applying
gentle pressure pull the cover away from the base.
4. Recommended reader mounting height from the floor is
"shoulder height" or about 60 inches. A lower height
causes significant user inconvenience. Reader height
may be lowered to accommodate ADA requirements.
