VICON VAX-D6.2R-OSDP Smartcard Readers Installation Guide

VAX-D6.2R-OSDP Smartcard Readers

This Quick Start Guide is intended for experienced installing technicians. It is a basic reference to ensure all connections are properly
made. It is for models VAX-D3R-OSDP and VAX-D6.2R-OSDP Smartcard Readers as well as variants supporting most industry leading card and tag technologies. For additional information please refer to Vicon’s website www.vicon- security.com.

1.0 Introduction

A key component of a physical security electronic access control system, a contactless smartcard card reader is based on RFID technology. In operation it is capable of reading data stored on a proximity credential via radio frequency and without physical contact, and then passing the data obtained to the physical access control system. Access control systems typically manage and record the movement of individuals through a protected area, such as a locked door.

2.0 Mounting Provisions

Each reader may be installed either indoors or outdoors. Mounting option is shown in the table below. Use supplied #6 mounting screws, or equivalent security screws, for installation.

3.0 Cable Requirements

Cable, 4 conductor, 22 or 24 AWG [65 mm or 51 mm] twisted pair, over-all shield and UL approved (Belden 8273, or equivalent).
Maximum bus length: 4,000 ft – 24 AWG (1,219 m)
Maximum distance between: 1,640 ft – 24 AWG (500 m)

4.0 Reader Wiring

5.0 Output Formats

The SIA standard OSDP protocol is supported for clear and secure channel communication.
Default Address: 0
Default Baud rate: 9600bps (bits per second)
Default Secure Channel Key:
SCBK_D = 0x303132333435363738393A3B3C3D3E3F

OSDP Protocol Technical Support:
SIA OSDP Application Profile: Basic Reader (OSDP v2.2 and higher)

6.0 Grounding

Shield (drain) continuity must run from the reader to the access panel. Shield (drain) and reader ground must be tied together at the access panel and connect to an earth ground at one point.

7.0 Power

Reader may be powered by the access panel. A linear power supply is recommended for best operation.

[8.0 Voltage and Current

Voltage: 8 to 14 VDC Current Draw: 135mA typical at 12 VDC

9.0 Read Mode

Reader (OSDP “PD”) operation is controlled by the access panel (OSDP “ACU”) per the OSDP specification.

10.0 Connection

Connection must be done in accordance with NFPA 70. Do not connect to a receptacle controlled by a switch. Connect to a power limited DC voltage source.

11.0 Troubleshooting

1. When the reader is first powered on it will beep 4-times.
2. Presenting a supported access credential will result in the reader beeping once.
3. OSDP communications with the panel will be established after the reader has completed its start-up sequence. The panel can query the reader for status using OSDP commands. Note, at this point, the access panel controls the reader beeper and LED functionality. See additional troubleshooting information on reverse side.

VAX-D3R-OSDP AND VAX-D6.2R-OSDP 13.56-MHz CONTACTLESS SMARTCARD READERS

WITH OSDP SUPPORT

If the reader does not recognize the card or tag (no beep, no LED flash), refer to possibe OSDP communications errors detected at the access control panel. Please see the table below for additional possible causes and solutions.

Confirm panel is configured for OSDP. Confirm panel and reader are both configured for Secure Channel (or both unencrypted.) Confirm PD address and speed.
Incorrect cabling| Verify gauge, connections and cabling length. Verify RS-485 OSDP connections (Tx+/Tx-)
Not enough power| 12 VDC recommended, 8 VDC at reader is minimum
Incorrect card used| Verify panel has established OSDP connection with reader, then verify if card technology is supported
Reader/access panel not properly grounded| Earth ground needed—verify shield and reader ground are tied at access panel and connect to ground at

one point

Supply generating interference| Linear power supply recommended, verify switching power supply before use

Should any of the corrective actions mentioned above not improve performance, disconnect the reader from the access panel and power it with a separate power supply or 9 VDC battery, and re-test card functionality, with an OSDP panel simulator if necessary. By powering the readers separately, most variables that may lead to reduced performance can be eliminated. OSDP issues often require a packet trace, which the installer or panel vendor should be prepared to provide if there are problems. Should the problem persist, please contact Vicon Technical Support.
