Honeywell Omnitek OmniSmart OS10 Installation Instructions

WHAT IS THE OmniTek OmniSmart™ READER?
The OmniSmart Reader is an RFID Contactless Smart Card
proximity card reader for use with access control systems.
These installation instructions contain the following
information:
Mounting Instructions
•
• Connecting the reader to a host using the Wiegand
interface
Testing and operation of the reader
•
If a different output protocol is required (Clock & Data or
Serial TTL), or an alternate configuration (different
security keys, tamper operation, LED control, etc.) is
required, consult the OmniSmart Configuration Manual
which can be found at www.omnitek.com/support.shtm.

HOW TO MOUNT THE READER
To surface mount the reader, perform the following:
1. Determine an appropriate mounting position for the
reader. Ideally, for the maximum operating distance,
avoid mounting the reader directly on metal surfaces
and near other OmniSmart readers.
2. Peel off the back of the self-stick mounting label
template included with the unit and position it at the
desired mounting position. (Additional templates can
be downloaded from www.omnitek.com.)
3. Using the template as a guide, drill two holes (hole size
is indicated on mounting template) for mounting the
reader to the surface.
4. Drill a 1/2" (13 mm) hole for the cable. If mounting on
metal, place a grommet or electrical tape around the
edge of the hole to protect the wire from chaffing.
5. Attach the reader to the mounting surface using the
appropriate screws (not supplied). The mounting
template may be left in place if desired since the
reader will cover it completely.
Check all electrical codes for proper installation.
Card Reader Models OS10/30/40/45 are to be used
with control panels whose power supply is UL
listed Class 2 or equivalent.
HOW TO CONNECT THE READER TO THE HOST
The OmniSmart Reader is supplied with an 18-inch pigtail,
having a 6-conductor cable. To connect the reader to the
host, perform the following steps:
1. If the reader has a connector attached to it, cut it off
and discard it. This connector is used during testing.
2. Prepare both the reader cable and host cables by
cutting the cable jacket back 1¼ inches and strip the
wires inch.

3. Splice the reader pigtail wires to the corresponding
host wires and cover each connection (see Figure 2).
4. If the tamper output is being utilized, connect the
purple wire to the correct input on the host.
5. Trim and cover all conductors that are not used.
Figure 1 below shows how to wire the reader to the host.
Wiring Notes:
1.
The individual wires coming out of the reader are color
coded according to the recommended Wiegand standard.
2. If either 5 or 12 volts are available, use 12 volts for better
performance.
3. When using a separate power supply for the reader, the
reader, power supply and host must have a common ground.
4. The recommended cable depends on the distance from
the reader to the host. See Table 1 below for the correct
wire gauge based upon distance. Larger wire gauges
(lower numbers) are desirable. The wire must be stranded
with an overall shield, either foil or braided. If the tamper is
not being used, 5 conductor cable is required; otherwise 6
conductor cable is required.
5. The cable shield wire on the reader should be attached to
an Earth ground (best) or signal ground connection at the
panel or power supply end of the cable. This configuration
is best for shielding the reader cable from external
interference.
TABLE 1: WIRE GAUGE SPECIFICATIONS
Distance Gauge
≤ 200 ft. (61m) 22
≤300 ft. (91m) 20
≤ 500 ft. (153 m) 18
Cable recommendations are only a guideline; use
any manufacturer that meets the gauge and shield
specifications. Lower gauges (smaller numbers)
have less resistance and are preferrable. The use of
plenium cable may be required by the local building
codes.
