HOW TO MOUNT THE READER
To mount the Reader, perform the following:
1. Determine an appropriate mounting position
for the Reader.
2. Peel off the back of the self-stick mounting
label template included with the unit and place
at the desired mounting position. (Additional
templates can be downloaded from
www.omniprox.com.)
3. Using the template as a guide, drill two holes
(hole size is indicated on mounting template)
for mounting the Reader to the surface.
4. Drill a 7/16” (10mm) hole for the cable. If
mounting on metal, place a grommet or
electrical tape around the edge of the hole.
5. Route the interface cable from the Reader
and/or power supply to the host. A linear type
power supply is recommended.
NOTE: The OmniProx Reader can also be mounted using
strong epoxy glue. After application, the Reader should be
firmly held in place until the glue dries.
Check all electrical codes for proper installation.
Mount the Reader with the appropriate screws (not
supplied) as indicated on the template.
HOW TO CONNECT THE READER TO THE HOST
The OmniProx Reader is supplied with an 18-inch
pigtail, having a 6-conductor cable. To connect the
Reader to the Host, perform the following steps:
1. Prepare the Reader cable by cutting the cable
jacket back 1¼ inches and strip the wires ½
inch.
2. Prepare the Host cable by cutting the cable
jacket back 1¼ inches and strip the wires ½
inch.
3. Splice the Reader pigtail wires to the
corresponding Host wires and cover each
connection (see Figure 1).
4. If the tamper output is being utilized, connect
the purple wire to the correct input on the host.
5. Trim and cover all conductors that are not used.
Figure 1 below shows how you should wire the
Reader to the Host.
Cable Notes:
1. The individual wires coming out of the reader are
color coded according to the recommended
Wiegand standard.
2. When using a separate power supply for the
Reader, this supply and the Host’s power supply
must have a common ground.
3. The recommended cable is Alpha 1295C which
has five conductors. If the Host is monitoring the
Reader’s tamper output, use six conductor Alpha
1296C. Larger wire gauges are acceptable. The
wire must be stranded with an overall shield,
either foil or braided.
4. The cable shield wire on the Reader should be
