Vicon VAX-D6.4R Quick Installation Manual

QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE
VAX-D6.4R HIGH-SECURITY
CONTACTLESS SMARTCARD READER WITH OSDP SUPPORT
This Quick Start Guide is intended for experienced installing
technicians. It is a basic reference to ensure all connections are
properly made. It is for model VAX-D6.4R-OSDP. For additional
information please refer to Vicon's website vicon-security.com.

1.0 Introduction

A key component of a physical security electronic access control
system, a contactless smartcard reader is based on RFID technology.
In operation it is capable of reading data stored on a proximity
credential via radio frequency and without physical contact, and then
passing the data obtained to the physical access control system.
Access control systems typically manage and record the movement of
individuals through a protected area, such as a locked door.

2.0 Mounting Provisions

Each reader may be installed either indoors or outdoors. Mounting
options shown in the table below. Use supplied #6 mounting screws,
or equivalent security screws, for installation.

*Plastic or metal.

3.0 Cable Requirements

Cable, 4 conductor, 22 or 24 AWG [65 mm or 51 mm] twisted pair,
over-all shield and UL approved (Belden 8273, or equivalent).
Maximum bus length: 4,000 ft – 24 AWG (1,219 m)
Maximum distance between: 1,640 ft – 24 AWG (500 m).

5.0 Output Formats

The SIA standard OSDP protocol is supported for clear and secure
channel communication.
Default Address: 0
Default Baud rate: 9600bps (bits per second)
Default Secure Channel Key:
SCBK_D = 0x303132333435363738393A3B3C3D3E3F.
OSDP Protocol Technical Support:
SIA OSDP Application Profile: Basic Reader (OSDP v2.2 and higher)

6.0 Grounding

Shield (drain) continuity must run from the reader to the access
panel. Shield (drain) and reader ground must be tied together at
the access panel and connect to an earth ground at one point.

7.0 Power

Reader may be powered by the access panel. A linear power
supply is recommended for best operation.

8.0 Voltage and Current

Voltage: 8 to 14 VDC
Current Draw:
135mA typical at 12 VDC

9.0 Read Mode

Reader (OSDP "PD") operation is controlled by the access panel
(OSDP "ACU") per the OSDP specification.

10.0 Connection

Connection must be done in accordance with NFPA 70. Do
not connect to a receptacle controlled by a switch. Connect
to a power limited DC voltage source.

11.0 Troubleshooting

1. When the reader is first powered on it will beep 4-times.
2. Presenting a supported access credential will result in the
reader beeping once.
3. OSDP communications with the panel will be established after
the reader has completed its start-up sequence. The panel
can query the reader for status using OSDP commands.
NOTE: At this point, the access panel controls the reader beeper
and LED functionality.
