HOW TO MOUNT THE READER
Figure 1 shows the front view of the OmniProx. When
mounting models OP10/20/30/40/45, the snap-off cover
must be removed to access the screw holes.
®
The model OP90 uses a security screw on the bottom of the
reader to secure the cover. Remove this security screw
using the supplied tool. Then slide the back plate down
slightly and then lift it up from the bottom. Select the
desired mounting holes and drill them out.
Mount the reader with the appropriate screws (not
supplied) as indicated on the template.
To surface mount the reader, perform the following:
1. Determine an appropriate mounting position for the
reader.
2. Peel off the back of the self-stick mounting label
template included with the unit and place at the
desired mounting position. (Additional templates can
be downloaded from www.omniprox.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.
5. Route the interface cable from the reader and/or power
supply to the host. A linear type power supply is
recommended.

listed Class 2 or equivalent.
HOW TO CONNECT THE READER TO THE HOST
The OmniProx 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 there is a connector on the end of the cable (used
during manufacture for testing purposes), cut it off.
Prepare both the reader cable and host cables by
cutting the cable jacket back 1¼ inches and strip the
wires inch.
½
2. Splice the reader pigtail wires to the corresponding
host wires and cover each connection (see Figure 2).
3. If the tamper output is being utilized, connect the
purple wire to the correct input on the host.
4. Trim and cover all conductors that are not used.
Figure 2 below shows how you should 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 on the next page for
the correct wire gage based upon distance. Larger wire
gauges are acceptable. 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.
