Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a miPASS 9 Series Mifare Contactless Smart Card Reader. Available in 4 different
models catering for all security requirements large or small, whether your projects are price or functionality
driven. The 9 Series reader models are:
DF900 - DESFire
BT900- Mifare (standard)
miP9 - BQT SPEK
CSN9 - Card Serial Number
The 9 Series reader is used in security applications and interfaces into Wiegand applications.
The 9 Series reader is preset with specific 'Keys'. Valid smart cards are issued with the same 'Keys'. This
ensures that the system cannot be compromised. (No 'Keys" used for CSN9 model)
The reader incorporates a LED and Buzzer to provide feedback to a person wishing to enter. The control of
these is shared by the reader and security controller.
The 9 Series reader is low-profile and can be installed in new installations or as an upgraded reader in existing
proximity access control systems.
Installation

placed. (Use the Drilling Template provided).
1. Place the controller and power supply cable through the Grommit hole.
