Introduction
The Gallagher T12 Reader is a smart card and Bluetooth® low energy technology reader. It can be installed as either an entry reader or exit reader. It can be mounted on a BS 4662 British Standard square flush box. The reader sends information to the Gallagher Controller and acts upon information sent from the Gallagher Controller. The reader itself does not make any access decisions. The reader is available in four variants. The supported technologies and compatibility for each variant is shown below.

*** Gallagher strongly recommends against using dual technology 125/MIFARE cards with Multi Tech
Readers for sites running pre-Command Centre v7.00 so ware. From Command Centre v7.00, a site may specify which technology a Multi Tech Reader should read off a dual technology card.
Before you begin
2.1 Shipment contents
Check the shipment contains the following items:
- 1 x Gallagher T12 Reader facia assembly
- 1 x Gallagher T12 Reader bezel
- 1 x M3 Torx Post Security screw
- 2 x M3.5 Phillips drive fi xing screws
- 4 x 25 mm No.6 self tapping, pan head, Phillips drive fi xing screws
- 4 x 40 mm No.6 self tapping, pan head, Phillips drive fi xing screws
2.2 Power supply
The Gallagher T12 Reader is designed to operate at a supply voltage of 13.6Vdc
measured at the reader terminals. The operating current draw is dependant on
the supply voltage at the reader. For a MIFARE reader, at 13.6 Vdc the current
draw is 50 mA (idle). During creden al read, beeper and LED ac vity, the
current will momentarily reach 77 mA (maximum). For a Multi Tech reader, at
13.6 Vdc the current draw is 80 mA (idle) and will momentarily reach 142 mA
(maximum). The power source should be linear or a good quality switched-mode
power supply. The performance of the reader may be aff ected by a low quality,
noisy power supply.
2.3 Cabling
The Gallagher T12 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 a 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.
* Not applicable for Bluetooth® enabled reader installations.
** 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.
- HBUS allows up to 20 readers to be connected to a single cable. Each reader requires at least 9 Vdc to function correctly. The cable length and the number of readers connected will have an impact on the voltage at each reader.
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
ATTENTION: This equipment contains components that can be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Ensure both you and the equipment are earthed before beginning any servicing.
The Gallagher T12 Reader is designed to be mounted on a standard British
electrical flush box, or any solid flat surface. However 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.
Note: Consideration should be given to the installation environment when
using Bluetooth° enabled readers, as the read range may be reduced. The
recommended mounting height for the reader is 1.1 m (3.6 ft) from the floor
level to the centre of the reader device. However this may vary in some
countries and you should check local regulations for variations to this
height.
-
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 fixing holes.
-
Run the building cabling out through the centre hole and through the reader bezel.
-
Secure the bezel to the flush box using the two M3.5 screws provided. It is important the bezel of the reader is flush with and tight against the mounting surface. If you are not mounting to a flush box, secure the bezel to the mounting surface using the four fixing screws provided.
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.
Note: 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.
-
Connect the reader tail extending from the facia assembly to the building cable. Connect the wires for the appropriate reader you wish to interface, either an HBUS Reader or a Cardax IV Reader, as shown in the following diagrams.
Notes:
• Bluetooth® enabled readers must be connected as HBUS Readers.
• Gallagher High Sec readers must be connected as HBUS Readers. Gallagher High Sec reader connect to the Gallagher High Sec Controller 6000 (C305101) only.
An HBUS Reader connects to a Gallagher Controller 6000, Gallagher 4H/8H Module (attached to a Controller 6000) or a Gallagher HBUS Door Module (connected to a Controller 6000).
A Cardax IV Reader connects to a Gallagher Controller 6000, Gallagher 4R/8R Module (attached to a Controller 6000) or a Gallagher GBUS Universal Reader Interface (Gallagher GBUS URI).
Note: To terminate an HBUS Reader, 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.
-
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. If the reader is connected as an HBUS Reader, refer to the topic “Configuring HBUS Devices” in the Command Centre Configuration Client Online Help. If the reader is connected as a Cardax IV Reader, refer to the topic “Creating Readers” in the Command Centre Configuration Client Online Help.
