The power supply current or fusing rating should not exceed the rating of the wire used to connect to the VTAP200. If the power supply is connected to the mains it must be of class 1 or class 2 construction, providing a safe electrical connection to the VTAP200. Although the product has no accessible conductive parts, it does not provide insulation from hazardous voltages.
This guide is for first-time users of the VTAP200. Figure 1-1 VTAP200 front view It contains the information you need to physically install and connect your VTAP200. Consult the VTAP Configuration Guide for more about custom configuration and maintenance features for any VTAP200, including how to update the firmware on your VTAP200, when a new release is available.
With the VTAP200 connected, simply tap your smartphone against the VTAP. Your mobile NFC pass will be read and data sent to the connected equipment. The default for a VTAP200 is to connect to remote equipment transfer data over Wiegand, to interact with a door controller in an access control system, and/or over RS485 for infrastructure equipment.
CAUTION: Never allow a metal surface between the VTAP200 and the user's phone or card. The circular case for a VTAP200 has a maximum 78mm diameter at the front and is 25mm deep. Cabling enters the rear of the VTAP200. The connector and associated wiring requires a depth of at least 25mm.
4 Mount a VTAP200 case The VTAP200 case uses a mounting plate to fix the device in place. Drilling dimensions for the plate are shown in the diagram below. The VTAP200 clips on to the mounting plate and is secured by a security screw.
Note: Screened cable should always be used to connect VTAP200 readers to door controllers, to avoid interference from other equipment. The cable screen must be connected electrically to GND at both the VTAP200 reader and controller ends of the cable, using the bare wire 'drain' conductor.
