Prox Mifare Series (Teardrop) readers require a good quality linear power
source. If you do not use the recommended power supply, it may affect the
performance of the reader.
Note: Switch mode power supplies are not recommended as they may reduce
the read range of the Prox Mifare Series (Teardrop) reader.
Cabling
The Prox Mifare Series (Teardrop) reader uses the Cardax IV communications
system. This means it can be connected to the following equipment:
• Cardax FT Reader I/O Interface
• Cardax FT Controller 3000
• Cardax FT URI
• Cardax Commander URI
Use 4 core, 0.2 mm
2
(AWG 24) cabling with a maximum, nominal capacitance
of 120 pf/m. The maximum external diameter of the cable must not exceed 5
mm (1/5 inch).
With this type of cable, the maximum distance between the Prox Mifare Series
(Teardrop) reader and the device to which it connects is 200 m (650 ft).
Note: You need a special cable terminating tool to connect the building cabling
to the Prox Mifare Series (Teardrop) reader. The tool has a head (Part
No. C861145) and handle (Part No. C861115). You also need a special
tool (Part No. C41611 ) to open the Prox Mifare Series (Teardrop)
reader if necessary.
Mounting Distance Between Proximity Readers
The distance between any 2 proximity readers must be greater than 200mm in
all directions.
