Reader Description

The Sentinel-Prox SR-2400 Reader is a radio-frequency proximity reader for Access Control Systems.
The Reader consists of a transmit/receive antenna and reader electronics, in a polycarbonate housing.
The reader electronics and antenna are potted with epoxy resin to protect against the environment.
The Reader may be mounted on a metal doorframe, a window mullion, or any surface (wall, cabinet, etc.).

(d) Screw-hole plug

Installation Procedure

1. Position the reader (item b in the Parts List) at the desired location. Observe ADA height requirements.
Drill two 7/64 (0.109)-inch holes for the reader screws, and one clearance hole for the cable (see Figure 1).
2. Clip off the white 10-pin in-line connector from the end of the reader's cable. Keep the wires as long as possible.
3. Connect the reader's ground, Data-0, Data-1, LED and power (see Figure 2). Connect yellow wire only if used for
Beeper control. Do not connect orange, blue & violet wires to anything. Tape or cap all unused wire separately.
4. Use a linear regulated DC power source, between 5 VDC (current rating at least 40 mA) and 12 VDC (at least 70
mA). The power source may be the Ground and Power terminals on the panel's reader port.
5. Align the reader with the screw holes in the doorframe or other surface. Fasten the reader to the doorframe using
supplied screws (item c in the Parts List) or other fasteners.
6. Apply power to the reader. The LED is steady-amber. (The beeper does not sound.)
7. Present any AWID proximity credential (card, tag or wafer) briefly to the reader. The beeper sounds, and the LED
changes to steady-red indicating Standby mode. The reader is now initialized and can read cards. Note: All
credentials must be AWID's products. Credentials from other companies will not read.
8. The LED color in Standby may be changed from red to green, or from green to red, using a Color Changer card,
available from AWID. Remove power from the reader; disconnect the brown wire from the panel; then restore
power. While the LED is amber, present the Color Changer card to toggle the LED's Standby color. Reconnect
the reader's brown wire to the LED (or Green LED) terminal.
9. When installation is complete and the reader has been tested, insert screw-hole plugs (item d in the Parts List) into
the screw clearance holes to conceal the screw heads. Note: Screw-hole plugs are for one-time use. After they are
seated, they cannot be removed without damaging the plugs.
