INTENDED USE

Secustos SQ80 is a product family of access control readers based on RFID technology. The readers give the user the possibility to read more than 60 RFID technologies from low (125 kHz) and high (13.56 MHz) frequency bands. Many mobile use cases can be facilitated with their NFC and, optionally, BLE functions, like authentication and data communication.
All readers are for both indoor and outdoor use in environmental conditions according to the respective product data sheets and installation instructions given in this manual.
Any use other than the intended use described in this section, as well as any failure to comply with the safety information given in this document, is considered improper use. sesamsec excludes any liability in case of improper use or faulty product installation.

INSTALLATION

5.1 GETTING STARTED
Before starting with the installation of a Secustos reader, the following measures must be checked:

• Make sure you have read and understood all safety information given in Chapter “Safety information”.
• Make sure that there is no voltage on the wires and check that power is turned off by testing the power  supply of each wire.
• Make sure that all tools and components required for the installation are available and appropriate.
• Make sure that the installation site is appropriate for the installation of the reader. In particular, check that the temperature of the installation site is within the operating temperature range given in the Secustos technical documentation and make sure that the wall used for the installation is appropriate. In some cases, the wall material might not be suitable for a safe and durable installation, or it might require specific mounting screws (e.g. wall made out of silicon or drywall). Furthermore, some materials might interfere with the RFID antennas of the reader and reduce its reading performance (e.g. metallic surfaces). Contact sesamsec for more information.
• The recommended installation height for a standard installation is 110 cm from the ground. However, in some cases (e.g. wheelchair access, local regulations, etc.), the actual installation height on site might differ from the recommended height. Please also note the maximum wall mounting height of 200 cm from the ground.
• In case of power lines, make sure that the minimum distance between the connection cable of the reader and the next power line is 10 cm.
• In case other RFID devices are already installed on site, or if several Secustos readers must be installed on the same site, observe a minimum distance of 30 cm between all readers and devices in order to achieve the best reading performance for each reader. Should two readers be installed in the same location (e.g. on each side of a wall, next to a door), the wall thickness should also be at least 30 cm to prevent a loss of performance of both readers.
• When installing the reader, do not cover the top left corner of the RFID module (i.e. top right corner when the reader is fixed on the wall), as it would disable both proximity and ambient light sensors.
• The protective film on the housing front should only be removed after complete installation of the reader.

---|---

5.3.2 ADDITIONAL CABLE INFORMATION
Typical installation cables are:
JY(ST)Y 4x2x0.6 for distance between devices ≤ 25 m
JY(ST)Y 4x2x0.8 for distance between devices > 25 m
Alternatively, any other appropriate cables that meet the prerequisites of RS-485 installations and wirings can be used.
In case of long cables, voltage drops might lead to a breakdown of the readers. To prevent such malfunctions, it is recommended to wire the ground (V-) and input voltage (V+) with two wires each.
In addition, the installation cable used to connect the controller must contain a cable shield and/or a drain wire with PE connection.
The cable shield/drain wire may not be connected to the reader, but only to the controller. Otherwise, it could lead to a potential difference.
5.4 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
The Secustos mounting frame (refer to Chapter “Accessories”) is an additional component required for on-wall installation. In order to comply with the UL certification requirements, the mounting frame must always be used when installing the reader outside. Any failure to meet this requirement will void the UL certification of the product.
5.4.1 INSTALLATION DIRECTLY ON THE WALL

1. Fix the mounting frame to the wall as described below:
2. The mounting frame is equipped with a cable inlet on its bottom side, which also serves as a cable strain relief. Optionally, the cable inlet can be sealed with silicone.
3. 3. Finally, attach the mounting plate to the mounting frame, and the reader to the mounting plate as described below:

5.4.2 INSTALLATION WIT FLUSH-MOUNTED BOX

1. Attach the mounting plate to the flush-mounted box, and the reader to the mounting plate as described below:

SETTINGS

6.1 GENERAL SETTINGS
By default, the reader is delivered ex-works with the following settings:

• OSDP: 9600 baud
• Address: 0
• Terminating resistors: off
  A customer-specific configuration is also possible by changing the device settings with the sesamsec Seconfig tool.

6.2 CONFIGURATION WITH SECUSTOS SECO APP
The reader configuration with the Secustos Seco app requires an NFC-enabled mobile device (e.g. smartphone or tablet) with Android operating system (from Android 4.0). Seco must be downloaded from the Google Play Store and installed on the mobile device. Once the app has been installed, it is possible to set parameters on the mobile device and transmit them subsequently on the reader via NFC.
6.3 CONFIGURATION WITH USB CABLE
The reader can also be configured using the sesamsec specific USB cable (refer to Chapter “Accessories”) and the sesamsec Seconfig tool.
To do so, proceed as follows:

1. Connect the reader to a PC with the USB cable. Particular attention should be given when plugging the USB cable in and out of the reader, as the 4-pin USB connector is a very sensitive component.
   Do not twist or pull excessively on the reader and press the connector lock when plugging the cable out.

2. Open the Seconfig tool on the PC and set the reader as requested. Refer to the Secustos technical handbook for more information about the reader settings.

3. Save your settings before closing the Seconfig tool and disconnect the reader from the PC by plugging out the USB cable carefully.

6.4 CONNECTION TO AN ACCESS CONTROLLER
6.4.1 LINE TOPOLOGY
In this configuration, the reader bus consists of one reader connected to an RS-485 controller bus. An address must be assigned to the reader and the terminating resistors of the RS-485 bus on the reader and on the controller must also be set.

6.4.2 STAR TOPOLOGY
In this configuration, the reader bus consists of max. two readers, which are both connected to the same RS485 controller bus. An address must be assigned to each reader before initial operation (e.g. Reader 1 = Address 0, Reader 2 = Address 1) as two readers with the same address would cause a conflict. The terminating resistors of the RS-485 bus on both readers must be on, whereas the terminating resistor of the RS-485 bus on the controller must be off. The terminating resistors of the RS-485 bus on the readers and on the controller must also be set.

Please note:

• A star topology is only possible with max. two readers.
• In general, the terminating resistors of the devices opening and closing the RS-485 bus must be on. The terminating resistors of all other devices within the RS-485 bus are off.
• An RS-485 bus should contain max. two readers. Operating more than two readers would lead to a performance loss.
• A correct configuration of the controller is necessary to ensure a proper function of the readers.
