Serial ProxPro Reader™ Installation Manual
System Overview
The Serial ProxPro reader is a self contained proximity reader. The two piece polycarbonate enclosure has an
rubber gasket that seals the pieces together and a cable fitting that seals the cable entry. The water resistant
unit is approved for outdoor use. The enclosure is designed to fit on a single gang electrical box. A Bi-color
LED and audible tone enhance user feedback. A tamper switch feature is available that will alert the Host
when the enclosure is opened. An internal DIP switch configures the unit for a RS232, RS422 or RS485
interface. The DIP switch is also used for enabling/disabling the audible tone. A keypad version is available.
Installation of the Serial ProxPro reader consists of mounting, verifying the DIP switch settings, setting a tuning
jumper and connecting the cable to the Host.
Operation
Access Cards may be presented to either the front or the back of the reader. Optimum read range is achieved
when the access card is presented parallel to the front reader face. The LED is normally controlled by the
internal reader firmware. The LED normal state is red and indicates that the reader is ready to read an access
card. The LED flashes green when the access card is read and the message is transmitted to the Host
system. When the reader is ready for another access card, the LED returns to red (about 250 milliseconds).
Parts List
1. Serial ProxPro Reader qty 1 (included)
2. #6-32 x 1 self tapping screws, Type T or 23 qty 2 (included)
3. Installation Manual qty 1 (included)
4. Cable Fitting qty 1 (included)
5. Cable, 3,4 or 5 conductor, 22AWG as required (50 to 4000 feet)
(Alpha 1295 C or equivalent) See cable notes.
6. DC Power Supply 12V/120mA or 24V/150mA 1 (Installer supplied)
7. In the E.U. the recommended power supply is the Micro State Electronics Model PS-5.
Installation Procedure
1. Determine an appropriate mounting position for the reader. The reader drawing below is actual size and
may be used as a template. Install a single or double gang electrical box or drill the appropriate mounting
for #6 fasteners. If mounting to a metal surface, drill two 7/64 (.109) inch holes and use the enclosed self
tapping screws for mounting.
2. Route the interface cable from the reader and/or power supply to the Host.
3. Prepare the cable by cutting the cable jacket back 2 (two) inches and strip the wires 1/4 inch. Tinning the
wires is not required.
4. Pry off the center face plate by placing a thin blade into the grove that outlines the face of the reader. Use
care to avoid scratching the surface of the reader. The face plate is attached to the reader by friction
only. The screws that hold the enclosure pieces together will be exposed. Loosen the four screws to open
the enclosure (the enclosure screws are captive in the cover).
5. Install the cable fitting on the rear of the reader. Feed the cable through the cable fitting, tighten the fitting
nut so the cable jacket is flush with the printed circuit board. Dress the cable conductors and connect the
reader to the Host according to the terminal descriptions in the dimension diagram. The descriptions are on
the PCB guard in the reader. Connect the drain line of the shield to terminal 2 (Power Supply Ground).
Terminal 5, Data Return, is to be connected to the ground of the Host if the power supply ground is not
common with the Host. The opposite end of the drain line should be cut flush with the jacket and left
disconnected.
6. If the tamper feature is available on the Host, connect the tamper switch using the connections
recommended by the Host documentation. The switch is a single pole, double throw. When the inner reader
cover is removed, the tamper switch is released. The TB1 connections to the tamper switch are pins 10 and
11. Pin 10 is the common contact of the switch and pin 11 is either the normally open or closed. Jumper P3
selects the contact of the tamper switch, either the normally closed or the normally open contact. The
default position is P3 across pins 1 and 2. This selects the normally open contact on TB1 pin 11. If the
