AMAG Technology S842 Installation And User Instructions

Installation and User Instructions for S842 Readers
The S842 is a contactless smart-card reader, with LCD and
keypad, which uses
communications . The S842 is able to read HID i
smart cards and the card serial number on Philips MIFARE
smart cards.
For either type of card, the S842 supports the use of
unencoded cards (where only the unique card serial number
is read). In the case of HID i
number can be read. Encoding formats supported include
HID's own formats and the "smartMAX" format.

Fit the Weatherproofing Kit

1
When mounting outside, the two-part gasket kit
must be fitted:
a) Remove the backplate from the reader by
releasing the two securing screws.
b) Remove the cutouts and backing paper
from the two gaskets, then stick them to the
backplate as shown.
The optional heater kit maintains the reader at
the correct temperature when mounted outside.
With the backplate off, remove the backing paper
from the two elements, then stick them to the
inner sides of the reader. The heaters must be
connected to a 24V AC supply (min 25VA).

Mount the Backplate

With the backplate off (see above), mount
the backplate adjacent to the opening edge
of the door and at a convenient height. Feed
the required cables through the backplate:
The cable from the controller.
!
The cable from the heater, if used (must
!
be a separate cable).
A cable from a Remote Interface Module
!
(RIM), if used. A RIM can reduce cable
lengths to door furniture.
