The 84x Reader is designed to mount on a standard U.S. single electrical gang box. The Model 845 is identical to the Model 840 except for a built-in twelve position keypad. This feature makes this reader ideal for installations requiring keypad PIN entry in addition to a valid smart card read.
Product Features The CASI Model 840/845 Contactless Smart Card Reader offers the following features: • State-of-the-art architecture. ® • The ability to read all MIFARE 1 type Contactless Smart Cards. ® • The ability to read the unique serial number of a MIFARE 1 card and convert the hex format to twelve digits Binary Coded Decimal (BCD).
The figures listed below begin on the next page. Refer to the appropriate figure for the type of reader you are mounting. Figure 1, “Model 84x Reader - Gang Box Mounting,” on page 4. Figure 2, “Model 84x Reader - Wall Mounting,” on page 5. Model 840/845 Contactless Smart Card Reader...

Place a mini-jump over one (1) pin of JP4 and remove JP3. Add power to the reader and resume normal operations. NOTE: Mode 4 is not available in Native Mode. Beeping and flashing LEDs indicate that Mode 4 has erroneously been set in Native Mode. Model 840/845 Contactless Smart Card Reader...
Wire the door contact/end-of-line resistors to pin JP2-8 and pin JP2-9. Install the exit request contact and the two end-of-line resistors (installer-supplied) at the contact. Wire the exit request/end-of-line resistors to pin JP2-10 and pin JP2-11. Model 840/845 Contactless Smart Card Reader...
Observe that the reader beeps briefly and the yellow LED blinks off. Observe that the green LED turns on indicating a valid access has been granted by the host. Open the door. This verifies that the door strike operates correctly. Model 840/845 Contactless Smart Card Reader...
Reconnect the wire on JP2 pin 3 and measure the voltage at JP2 pin 3. Low voltage turns on the green LED. If the voltage is low, check to see if the host system is energizing the door strike. Model 840/845 Contactless Smart Card Reader...

If none of the above steps have identified the problem, there may be a significant noise source present in the installation which is interfering with the reader-to-microcontroller communications. If this is the case, use shielded wire for reader-to-microcontroller connections. Model 840/845 Contactless Smart Card Reader...

1K-ohm resistors to the door contact and the exit request inputs or, if the inputs are not used, that a 1K-ohm resistor is installed at the reader connector. See Figure 4, “Wiring Diagram, Model 84x - Supervised F/2F Mode,” on page 14. Model 840/845 Contactless Smart Card Reader...
See Table 1 “Cable Distances,” on page 6. NOTE: The reader will work well with unshielded cable in most environments. No company, including GE Interlogix, can guarantee that data will be reliably transmitted over long distances on unshielded cable in every installation.
LED starts flashing slowly (every 2 seconds), and a short triple beep sounds every 30 seconds. Once the reader receives an acknowledgment, it begins reading smart cards again, the beeper stops sounding and the red LED stops flashing. Model 840/845 Contactless Smart Card Reader...
