Preparation

Reader Location: Select the reader's mounting location. The XR-3600 Reader may be screwed to a door
mullion or window mullion, or to a wall or other surface. On a metal surface, read range is reduced about 20%.
The XR-3600 Reader may be exposed directly to rain or snow.
DC Power Supply: DC power for this reader is usually supplied from the +DC and Ground terminals of the
Wiegand reader port on the system's panel. If this is not possible, use an independent power supply. Power
may be shared with other readers if the supply has sufficient current capacity. The power supply should be
nominal +12 volts DC (as low as +5 volts is OK); 1 ampere capacity; linear-rated; regulated DC output.
Cable to Controller and Power Supply: 4 conductors from reader to the system (2 wires for DC power, and 2
wires for Wiegand data). 22 gauge. Overall 100% shield for both power and data. 500 feet maximum length.
If the DC power supply is independent from the panel's reader port, the reader's Black wire must be
connected to both the DC power supply's Negative terminal and the panel's Ground terminal.
If the DC power supply is close to the reader, run two 22 gauge cables – 2 wires for DC power, and 3 wires
for Wiegand data. Both cables must be overall-shielded and earth-grounded.
Conduit: If cables are pulled through metal conduit, the conduit should be earth-grounded (like the cables).
