normally closed contact is required, move P3 across pins 2 and 3. (Note - “normally open and normally
closed” refer to the Pin 11 status while the cover is removed.) The contacts are rated for 100mA at 35
VDC.
7. Mount the base of the reader that holds the electronics to the gang box or surface using the two holes
located on the center axis of the reader. Two #6-32 x 1 inch screws are provided for mounting to a gang
box or metal surface.
8. Set the DIP switches according to the table in the section, DIP Switch Settings.
9. Place the jumper on P1 between pins 1 and 2 when mounting to a metallic surface or to a junction box
with a metal cover plate. Otherwise, the jumper should be between pins 2 and 3, the default position.
10. After wiring the Reader and power supply, the Reader is ready to be tested. Power up the Reader and the
LED and Beeper will flash and beep 3 times in a sequence of two short delays and one long delay. This
indicates that the micro-controller unit is working properly. Present an ID card to the Reader and the LED
should momentarily turn green, indicating a read of the card.
11. Replace the top cover and face plate.
Cable Notes
1. The ProxPro Serial reader internally connects GROUND to SIG GND. As a result, the power supply used to
power the reader and Host must have a common ground (voltage reference).
2. RS232 (DTE) - A 5 conductor cable (Alpha 1295 C or equivalent) is required when using the RS232
interface. It is recommended that the RD line be connected for compatibility with future firmware upgrades.
The DTR/DSR hardware handshake lines do not need to be connected to the host. The maximum cable
length for the RS232 interface is 50 - 200 feet. Connect TB1-1 (DC+) and TB1--2 (Ground) for power supply
and TB1-6 (TD output)), TB1-7 (RD input) and TB1-3 (Signal Ground) for RS232.
3. RS422 - A 7 conductor cable (Alpha 1297 C or equivalent) is required when using the RS422 interface. It is
recommended that the RX+ and RX- lines be connected for compatibility with future upgrades. The
maximum cable length for the RS422 interface is 4000 feet. Connect TB1-1 (DC+) and TB1-2 (Ground) to
power supply and TB1-4 (TX+), TB1-5 (TX-), TB1-6 (RX+), TB1-7 (RX-) and TB1-3 (Signal Ground) for
RS422.
4. RS485 - A 5 conductor cable (Alpha 1295c or equivalent) is required when using the RS485 interface. The
maximum cable length for the RS485 interface is 4000 feet. Connect TB1-1 (DC+) and TB1-2 (Ground) to
power supply and TB1-4 (485+), TB1-5 (485-) and TB1-3 (signal ground) for RS485. Multi-drop protocols
are not currently supported. Contact HID Corporation customer service to inquire about specifying a
particular software protocol.
5. Tamper Switch Feature - A 22 AWG twisted pair, shielded, stranded cable (Belden 9330 or equivalent) is
often required for the tamper switch. Follow the recommendations of the manufacturer of the Host system.
If the tamper input is a supervised input, the "end of line" resistors may be mounted in the enclosure. Use
extreme care and shield any bare wire from the printed circuit assembly and its components.
6. Cable fitting - The inner diameter of the cable fitting will accommodate a cable with an outer diameter of
.300 inches (nominally). If larger diameter (or two cables) must be accommodated, do not use the fitting.
7. Shield - Connect cable shield by connecting drain wire to TB1-2 ground. Leave foil and drain wire
disconnected at host end of cable by cutting them off at the end of the cable jacket .
RS232/RS422/RS485 Interface Considerations
1. The ProxPro Serial reader operates in a send only mode. However, it is recommended that the interface
receive line(s) be connected for compatibility with future firmware upgrades.
2. The RS232 interface includes connections for DTR/DSR hardware handshake lines. However, the
ProxPro Serial reader does not support hardware handshake at this time.
4. The message format for RS232, RS422 and RS485 are identical. There are no provisions for node
addresses in the message.
