GALLAGHER T30 Multi Tech Keypad Reader
Product Information
The Gallagher T30 Keypad Reader is a security device designed to allow
access control to a restricted area. It requires a power supply of 13.6 Vdc,
and the operating current draw is dependent on the supply voltage at the
reader. The device uses the HBUS communications protocol based on the RS485
standard, which allows communication over a distance of up to 500 m (1640 ft).
Shipment Contents
The shipment includes the Gallagher T30 Keypad Reader.
Power Supply
The power source should be linear or a good quality switched-mode power
supply. For UL compliance, the units shall be powered via a UL 294/UL 1076
listed power supply or control panel output that is class 2 power limited.
Cabling
The Gallagher T30 Keypad Reader requires a minimum cable size of 4 core 24
AWG (0.2 mm2) stranded security cable. This cable allows the transmission of
data (2 wires) and power (2 wires). The HBUS communications protocol is based
on the RS485 standard and allows the reader to communicate over a distance of
up to 500 m (1640 ft).
The cabling between HBUS devices should be done in a daisy chain topology, and
termination is required at the end devices on the HBUS cable using 120 ohms
resistance.
Product Usage Instructions
- Connect the power supply to the Gallagher T30 Keypad Reader using a good quality switched-mode power supply or a linear power supply.
- Connect the Gallagher T30 Keypad Reader to the control panel using a minimum cable size of 4 core 24 AWG (0.2 mm2) stranded security cable.
- Ensure the cabling between HBUS devices is done in a daisy chain topology and termination is required at the end devices on the HBUS cable using 120 ohms resistance.
- For UL compliance, power the units via a UL 294/UL 1076 listed power supply or control panel output that is class 2 power limited.
- When using a single cable to carry both power supply and data, both the power supply voltage drop and data requirements must be considered. For good engineering design, it is recommended that the voltage at the reader should be approximately 12 Vdc.

Power supply
The Gallagher T30 Keypad Reader is designed to operate at a supply voltage
of 13.6 Vdc measured at the readers. The operating current draw is dependent
on the supply voltage at the reader. The power source should be linear or a
good quality switched-mode power supply. The performance of the reader may be
affected by a low quality, noisy power supply.
Note: For UL compliance the units shall be powered via a UL 294/UL 1076
listed power supply or control panel output that is class 2 power limited.
Cabling
The Gallagher T30 Keypad Reader requires a minimum cable size of 4 core 24 AWG
(0.2 mm2) stranded security cable. This cable allows the transmission of data
(2 wires) and power (2 wires). When using a single cable to carry both power
supply and data, both the power supply voltage drop and data requirements must
be considered. For good engineering design it is recommended that the voltage
at the reader should be approximately 12 Vdc.
HBUS cabling topology
The HBUS communications protocol is based on the RS485 standard and allows the
reader to communicate over a distance of up to 500 m (1640 ft).
The cabling between HBUS devices should be done in a “daisy chain” topology,
(i.e. A “T” or “Star” topology should not be used between devices). Should
“Star” or “Home-Run”wiring be required, the HBUS 4H/8H Modules and the HBUS
Door Module allow multiple HBUS devices to be individually wired to the one
physical location.
The end devices on the HBUS cable should be terminated using 120 ohms
resistance. To terminate the Gallagher Controller 6000, connect the supplied
on-board termination jumpers to the Controller. To terminate the Gallagher T30
Keypad Reader, connect the orange (termination) wire to the green (HBUS A)
wire. Termination is already included at the HBUS Module, (i.e. each HBUS port
is permanently terminated at the module).

- The matching of wire sizes to equivalent wire gauges are only approximate.
** Recommended cable types for optimal HBUS RS485 performance.
*** Tested with 13.6V at start of cable.
Notes:
- Shielded cable may reduce the obtainable cable length. Shielded cable should be grounded at the Controller end only.
- If other cable types are used, operating distances and performance may be reduced depending on the cable quality.
- The recommendation for optimal performance is up to 20 T30 Keypad Readers can be connected to one Controller 6000.
Distance between readers
The distance separating any two proximity readers must not be less than 200 mm (8 in) in all directions. When mounting a proximity reader on an internal wall, check that any reader fixed to the other side of the wall is not less than 200 mm (8 in) away.
Installation
The Gallagher T30 Keypad Reader can be mounted on:
- a vertical, rectangular 50 mm x 75 mm (2 in x 3 in) flush box
- a BS 4662 British Standard square flush box
- any solid flat surface
The recommended mounting height for the reader is 1.1 m (3.6 ft) from the floor level to the centre of the reader. However, this may vary in some countries and you should check local regulations for variations to this height.
Notes
- Consideration should be given to the installation environment when using Bluetooth® enabled readers, as the read range may be reduced.
- Installation on metal surfaces, particularly those with a large surface area will reduce read range. The extent to which the range is reduced will depend upon the type of metal surface. A spacer (C300318 or C300319) can be used to help mitigate this issue.
- A black dress plate (C300326) can be used to cover previously installed readers ensuring a clean finish for sites handling an upgrade.
- When mounting on a flush box, the corner screws must be used as well as the flush box screws. Without corner screws the top of the product is vulnerable to separation from the wall.
-
Ensure the building cable has been run out through the flush box.
If you are not mounting to a flush box, use the reader bezel as a guide, to drill all five holes. Drill the 13 mm (1/2 inch) diameter centre hole (this is the centre hole for which the building cable will exit the mounting surface) and the four corner fixing holes. Ensure the centre hole allows the cable to run freely out through the mounting surface, so that the reader facia can clip into the bezel.
Note: There is no room for the building cable to be squeezed into the reader bezel. The building cable must remain within the flush box or wall cavity. -
Run the building cable through the reader bezel.
-
Secure the bezel to the flush box using the two screws provided.
When securing the bezel to a vertical, rectangular flush box, use the 6-32 UNC screws provided. When securing the bezel to a BS 4662 British Standard square flush box, use the M3.5 screws provided.
- Drill pilot holes for the four corner fixing holes and the tamper tab. Secure the bezel to the mounting surface using the four corner fixing screws provided. Secure the tamper tab (located in the bezel) to the mounting surface using the remaining fixing screw provided. It is important the four corner fixing screws are used to ensure the reader is flush with and tight against the mounting surface.
Note: It is strongly recommended that you use the screws provided. If an alternative screw is used, the head must be no larger nor deeper than that of the screw provided.
- Connect the reader tail extending from the facia assembly to the building cable. Connect the wires for the HBUS device to interface.
An HBUS device connects to a Gallagher Controller 6000, Gallagher 4H/8H Module, a Gallagher HBUS Door Module, or a Gallagher HBUS 8 Port Hub.
To
terminate an HBUS device, connect the Orange (HBUS Termination) wire to the
Green (HBUS A) wire.
-
Fit the facia assembly into the bezel by clipping the small lip, into the top of the bezel and holding the top, press the bottom of the facia assembly down into the bezel.
Note: Ensure that there is no pressure upon the wire set as it exits the reader. Ensure the wire set does not exit the reader at a sharp angle, as this may compromise the integrity of the wire set’s water seal. -
Insert the M3 Torx Post Security screw (using a T10 Torx Post Security screwdriver) through the hole at the bottom of the bezel to secure the facia assembly.
Note: The Torx Post Security screw needs only to be lightly tightened.
- Removal of the facia assembly is a simple reversal of these steps.
- Configure the reader in Command Centre. Refer to the topic “Configuring an HBUS Keypad Reader” in the Command Centre Configuration Client Online Help.
