Introduction The GE Contactless Model 240, 245, and 250 readers read ISO 14443A and ISO 15693 compliant badges, disc tags, and key fobs. The Model 245 includes an integral 12-button (3x4) keypad for PIN entry. FIGURE 1: GE Contactless Reader Model 240...
FIGURE 4: GE Model 24x Reader Backplate (includes tamper switch magnet) Notes: • Mounting holes fit standard US single-width electrical box and standard European (EMEA) electrical box hole pattern. • For flush mounting, a cutout in the mounting surface, to accommodate the connector, must be made.
Secure Perfect 5.0 supports badge IDs (BIDs) to a maximum of 20 digits. Secure Perfect 4.0 supports badge IDs (BIDs) to a maximum of 12 digits. Since the Model 24x Contactless Reader outputs a 16-digit number, the Secure Perfect 4.0 microcontrollers must be configured to receive the GE Contactless Reader Model 24x/250...

If you are using Model 240/245/250 readers with your Secure Perfect system (4.0), you cannot combine with any other reader or credential technologies. To make your Secure Perfect 4.0 system compatible with GE Models 240/ 245/250 Contactless readers, do the following: Install Secure Perfect 4.0 as instructed.
Installation FIGURE 6: GE Model 24x Backplate and Snap-on cover The front cover snaps into place. To remove the cover, use a small flat- blade screwdriver to pry the cover from the backplate, using either of the two provided locations on the vertical sides of the reader.
Installation Considerations Installation of the GE Model 24x Reader on metal. For the Model 24x readers, read-range reduction can be improved by adding Isolation Spacers (approximately 25% per plate) up to a maximum of four spacers. Installation of two Model 24x/250 readers side-by-side and back-to- back.
(101.60 mm) or less, a metal plate (for example: Reader isolation plate, metal wall) must be placed between the readers. To obtain the maximum read range, mount each GE Model 24x/250 reader onto one or more Isolation Spacers.
Micro Compatibility • Micro/5 Controller with either 2RP or 8RP Reader Boards: refer to the Micro/5 Installation Guide. IMPORTANT: DO NOT use the GE Model 24x/250 readers with the Micro/5 2SRP. • Micro/PX-2000 and Micro/PXN-2000 controllers: refer to the Micro/ PX-2000 and Micro/PXN-2000 Installation Guide.

If none of the above steps have identified the problem, there may be a significant noise source present in the installation which is interfering with the reader-to-microcontroller communications. If this is the case, use shielded wire for reader-to- microcontroller connections. GE Contactless Reader Model 24x/250...
