Essex Electronics IRXPTO Turnstile Readers

Product Information

  • The IRXTO and IRXPTO Turnstile Readers are proximity readers that support various technologies. The IRXPTO Models specifically support HID Prox, Indala Prox, EM4100, EM4102, EM4200, T5557, FDX-B, EM4450, EM4305, and AWID Prox. For other formats, it is recommended to contact Essex Electronics for more details.
  • The turnstile readers have two modes of operation: Wiegand Mode and OSDP Mode. By default, the reader is shipped in Wiegand Mode, but it can be switched to OSDP Mode by removing a jumper located on the cover of the enclosure.
  • In Wiegand Mode, the reader is suitable for control panels that require a Wiegand data stream. The yellow wire controls the audio when grounded, while the brown wire toggles the LEDs between white (X pattern) and green (O pattern).
  • In OSDP Mode, the reader is suitable for control panels that require OSDP inputs. It supports the standard OSDP version 2.1.7 commands and clear channel and secure channel communications. The brown input serves as a general-purpose active low reported on the OSDP ISTATR command, and the Wiegand D0 line becomes a general-purpose output line.

Product Usage Instructions

Wire Connections:

Wire Color Description
Red 5V or 12V
Black Ground
Orange RS485 B (OSDP Mode only)
Violet RS485 A (OSDP Mode only)
Green User Output 1 in OSDP mode or D0 in Wiegand Mode
White D1 in Wiegand Mode only
Brown User Input 1 in OSDP mode or LED toggle, (use open collector

drive only), in Wiegand Mode
Yellow| Audio toggle, (use open collector drive only), Wiegand mode
only

Switching Modes:
To switch between Wiegand Mode and OSDP Mode:

  1. For Wiegand Mode: Connect the jumper (J1) located on the cover of the enclosure.
  2. For OSDP Mode: Remove the jumper (J1) located on the cover of the enclosure.

Communications Modes:
The turnstile reader can operate in the following modes:

  1. No custom key installed, no default security setup: All commands are available except for installing the custom key. This mode is not recommended for regular use.
  2. Secure channel mode: Requires installation of an encryption key. Certain OSDP commands are available on a clear channel, including Poll, ID, CAP, CHLNG, and SCRYPT. Other commands will require encryption.

Note : For detailed information on secure channel installation and other advanced commands, refer to the product manual or contact the manufacturer.

CAUTION : Do NOT run this low voltage wiring in conduit with or adjacent to line voltage wiring.

Modes

This reader has two modes of operation; it is shipped in Wiegand Mode. The OSDP mode, which conforms to the SIA standard 2.1.7 is selected by removal of the jumper. There are jumpers on the reader, visible through the windows. The installer may select the Wiegand mode by the installation of a jumper, (J1), located in a window on the cover of the enclosure.

Wiegand Mode

  • The reader is placed in this mode when the jumper on J1 is connected. Use this mode for control panels that require a Wiegand data stream.
  • In this mode, the yellow wire will control the audio when it is grounded. The brown wire will toggle the LEDs from white, in the X pattern, to green, in the O pattern.

OSDP Mode

  • The reader is placed in this mode when the Jumper on J1 is not installed. Use this mode for control panels that require OSDP inputs from the reader. Install mode jumper, (J4), is used to install a secure key through the controller.
  • The unit supports the standard OSDP version 2.1.7 commands that are appropriate for readers and keypads. It supports clear channel and secure channel communications. Install mode is available using a jumper on J4, at power up, and must be initiated within 30 seconds of power on. Install mode allows the installation of a new SCBK.
  • The new version 2.2 commands ACURXSIZE, KEEPACTIVE, ABORT, PIVDATA, GENAUTH, CRAUTH, FILETRANSFER, and XWR are not supported at this time.

Secure channel notes:

  • The standard installation procedure is used (commands CHLNG, SCRYPT, KEYSET). When an encryption key, other than the default, is installed, it must be used, and secure channel communications are required. In the secure channel mode, certain OSDP commands are available on a clear channel. These are Poll, ID, CAP, CHLNG, and SCRYPT. Other commands will be answered with a NAK code 6 (encryption required).
  • In the OSDP mode, the brown input is a general-purpose active low reported on the OSDP ISTATR command. The Wiegand D0 line becomes a general-purpose output line, osdp_OUT command.
  • The white LEDs that are in the X pattern are controlled by the OSDP LED command for Red LEDs. The green LEDs that are in the O pattern are controlled by the OSDP LED command for green LEDs.

Communications modes
The system can be in four different modes, three of which are for normal communications.

  1. No custom key was installed. No default security setup. All commands are available except the command to install the custom key. This mode is not recommended except for special circumstances since the communication is no more secure than Wiegand.
  2. No custom key was installed. Default key security enabled. All commands are available in secure mode except the install custom key command is only available when the install mode jumper is installed and the key is installed within 30 seconds of power on. This mode makes it difficult to snoop on the communications unless the attacker has access to the communication line from the power startup. Communications lost for more than 8 seconds will cancel the secure setup.
  3. Custom key installed. Power up or communication restored. The secure channel must be set up using the CHLNG and CCYRPT commands. This is done in unsecured mode. No other commands are available. After the secure channel is set up, the communication moves to item 4 below.
  4. Custom key installed and security enabled. All commands are available except the install custom key command is only available when the install mode jumper is installed and the key is installed within 30 seconds of power on. This is not vulnerable to attackers even with access to the communications line at powerup. Security with the default key is not allowed if a custom key is installed.

Note : If the custom key is lost, the custom key cannot be changed without factory assistance

Installation of the Mobile access key.
