Introduction This manual is an installation guide for the CASI-RUSCO Models 950 and ™ 960 Proximity Perfect Readers. The Model 950 Reader is intended to be mounted on the surface of a window mullion or door frame, and it is specially tuned for installation on metal.

• In the Supervised modes (F/2F and Silent F/2F), the reader communicates with the microcontroller over a bi-directional F/2F data link that carries the following: • Proximity Perfect badge data • Supervision messages • Exit request and door contact status •...
Switch Settings Two banks of four DIP switches located inside the interface unit are used to select the reader power level, operating mode, and internal beeper sound level. CAUTION: Power should be removed from the reader while switch settings are changed. Selecting Reader Power Level The reader’s power requirement is selected using four DIP switches.
If the low power setting is selected, the badge read range is reduced. However, the reader now typically requires only 75mA of supply current; therefore, the voltage drop in the power and power return wires is much less. In this case, the reader supply voltage will only be reduced to 9.6V, high enough for reliable operation.

Selecting Operating Mode The table below shows the DIP switch settings for the four operating modes. TABLE 4: Operating Mode DIP Switch Settings Operating Mode Switch 5 Switch 6 Wiegand F/2F Supervised F/2F Silent supervised F/2F In the Wiegand operating mode, 2801, 2804, and 3201 Proximity Perfect badge data is sent out using 2801, 2804, and 3201 Wiegand format, respectively.
Mounting the Interface Unit The interface unit should be mounted in a sheltered, secured location, such as above a ceiling. If one read head is used, it can be mounted 500 feet from the interface unit. If two read heads are used, each can be mounted up to 200 feet from the interface, for a total of 400 feet between the two heads.
Mounting the 950 Read Head The Model 950 read heads are designed to be mounted on the surface of a door frame or window mullion using the two security screws provided. CAUTION: Readers should not be mounted within 3 feet (1 meter) of a computer terminal.
NOTE: Read range may be significantly reduced when the read heads are mounted on certain types of highly reflective or reinforced glass. CASI-RUSCO cannot guarantee that a specific glass, coating, or film will not cause a significant reduction in read range. CASI-RUSCO will test any glass type if a sample is supplied by the customer.
Connecting the Reader CE/FCC Compliancy NOTE: As of January 1, 1996, all new European Installations MUST be CE compliant. • The cable connecting the Model 950/960 Reader to the Micro/5 must have its shield grounded at the Micro/5 as indicated in Figure 5.

Connecting the Interface Unit to the Read Head(s) The drawing below shows an overview of how to connect the interface unit to the read head(s). See the wiring diagrams that follow for details on connecting the read heads, interface unit, and microcontroller based on the mode of the reader.
Pinouts The table below shows terminal block TB1 position numbers and corresponding signals for connecting the interface unit to the microcontroller. Position 1 of TB1 is to the left as you view it inside the interface unit. See Figure 1: Interface Unit - Printed Circuit Board on page 4.

CAUTION: The read heads have improved performance over read heads manufactured before December, 2000. Therefore, if the read head is to be used as a second read head or as a replacement in a two-head application, the following precautions for wiring changes must be observed. To determine if read head was manufactured before December, 2000, one of the following conditions will exist: •...
Verify that the microcontroller is properly configured. Refer to the appropriate CASI-RUSCO microcontroller manual. Verify that the interface unit switches are properly set for the power setting, cabling type, distance, and desired mode of operation. See “Switch Settings”...
Troubleshooting Guide If the operation of a component is in doubt, substitute a known good component and retry the system. Always verify wiring against wiring diagrams before powering up the system. This section of the manual is split into three sections. The first is applicable to all installations, the second provides additional diagnosis for unsupervised readers, and the final section provides additional diagnosis for supervised readers.

Disconnect the wire on TB1 position 4 on the interface unit. If the green LED stays on, the reader is faulty and should be replaced. If the green LED goes off, then the problem is most likely not in the reader. Reconnect the wire on TB1 position 4 and measure the voltage at TB1 position 4.
The green LED does not turn on, but the door strike unlocks the door when a valid badge is presented: Verify that the door DO is wired correctly. Refer to the appropriate wiring diagram. Disconnect the wire from TB1 position 4 on the interface unit and connect TB1 position 4 to ground, TB1 position 2.

Try the reader on a different reader input of the microcontroller. If this corrects the problem, then the microcontroller is probably causing the problem. Replace the reader with one you know is working correctly. If this corrects the problem, then the reader is probably faulty and should be replaced.

The reader sounds a short triple beep every 30 seconds, and the red LED flashes quickly (every 400ms): Indicates a tamper violation. Verify that the interface unit door is closed or the interface unit tamper switch is temporarily pressed. If it is, verify that any additional installer- supplied tamper switch(es) are wired correctly.

See Table 3, “Cabling Distances,” on page 6. NOTE: The reader will work well with unshielded cable in most environments. No company, including CASI-RUSCO, can guarantee that data will be reliably transmitted over long distances on unshielded cable in every installation.
Functional Specifications Product Operation: The reader transmits a wake-up field extending all around the read head. When a badge is presented, energy from the field powers the electronics inside the badge allowing it to transmit its unique data to the reader. The read head receives, interprets, and checks the data, sending only uncorrupted badge data to the microcontroller.

Write technology and CASI-RUSCO ProxLite Read Only technology. Badge Formats: CASI-RUSCO Proximity Perfect badges encoded with 2801, 2804, 3201, or 40-bit data formats; or CASI-RUSCO ProxLite, ISO ProxLite, and Entrée badges. Mounting: The Model 950 mullion mount reader is attached to the surface of the mullion by two security screws.

An external device can be connected to all LEDs and the beeper at the 14-position terminal block TB1 inside the interface unit. In this case, the LEDs and beeper can be driven by the reader or the external device. Driving the appropriate TB1 position to a low voltage activates the indicator.
