MS-5000Quick Start Guide
The MS-5000 MiniStar Reader
The MS-5000 MiniStar Reader is intended for installation in a single gang electrical "J-Box," in 
proximity applications where an unobtrusive reader is required. It can also be mounted directly onto 
nonmetallic walls. The reader provides an audible beeper and a multi colored LED to annunciate 
the reader's status when used with a PXL-250, PXL-100, or IntelliProx.
• Amber - to indicate normal operation awaiting an access event
• Green - to indicate a valid card has been presented or the door has been unlocked for access
• Red - to indicate an invalid card has been presented or the door is in an alarm condition
The MS-5000 MiniStar Reader is housed in a black or white, weatherproof, shock resistant 
package. The reader provides optimum performance when mounted at least one inch away from 
metal surfaces; read range is reduced if the reader is mounted on or near metal surfaces.
