General
Remember the following when installing the Multi-discipline Readers:
Maximum Data Communications Distance
Install the Multi-discipline Readers no further than 150 m (164 yd) from the Host unit.
The cable individual conductor cross-sectional area should not be less than 0.2 mm2
(0.0003 in2).
Distance between Multi-discipline Readers
To avoid mutual interference, install the Multi-discipline Readers no closer than
500 mm (20 in) apart.
Mounting the Multi-discipline Readers
CAUTION: Do NOT attach the Front Cover to the Backing Plate prior to
mounting.
CAUTION: Ensure that you set the Multi-discipline Reader’s Output Mode
BEFORE attaching the Front Cover to the Backing Plate. See page
9 for more information.
CAUTION: Make certain that you mount the Readers on a vibration-free
surface.
Select the mounting position of the Multi-discipline Readers, considering accessibility,
routing of wires and visibility of the externally visible LED.
Secure the Multi-discipline Readers to the mounting surface, using four suitable screws
and wall plugs, nuts and bolts or rivets.

Configuring the Tag Frequency Mode
The Multi-discipline Readers offer three different Tag Frequency Modes. To select the
Tag Frequency Mode, do the following:
1. Power up the Reader. On power up, you have 5 seconds in which to set the Tag
Frequency Mode.
2. Present a Tag that matches your chosen Tag Frequency Mode:
Mode 1 (125 kHz): If you present a 125 kHz Tag for the full 5-second period,
the Reader will only read 125 kHz Tags.
Mode 2 (13.56 MHz): If you present a 13.56 MHz Tag for the full 5-second
period, the Reader will only read 13.56 MHz Tags.
Mode 3 (125 kHz and 13.56 MHz): If you present a 125 kHz Tag for 2
seconds followed by a 13.56 MHz Tag for 2 seconds, the Reader will read
both 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz Tags. This is the default mode.
NOTE: If you do not present a Tag within the 5-second period, the Reader uses the
last known Tag Frequency Mode.
Setting the Output Mode (OEM Use Only)
The Multi-discipline Readers offer four different Output Mode Combinations. Select the
Output Mode by doing the following:
1. On the back of the Multi-discipline Reader, locate and bridge the two stand-alone
Pins using the 2-Way Programming Pin supplied.
2. Power up the unit, the number of beeps indicates the selected Output Mode:
Mode 1 (1 Beep): 26-bit, HID Normal.
Mode 2 (2 Beeps): 44-bit, HID Normal (Default).
Mode 3 (3 Beeps): 26-bit, HID Raw.
Mode 4 (4 Beeps): 44-bit, HID Raw.
NOTE: The 26-bit and the 44-bit refer to the output format of EMM and Amano
Trinary Tags. HID Tags output in either normal or 45-bit raw mode.
3. Remove the 2-Way Programming Pins once the mode is selected.
4. Clip the Front Cover onto the Backing Plate.
Wiegand 44-bit Protocol
Tags are reported using Wiegand 44-bit Protocol. An “EMM” Tag has an 8-bit User
Code and a 32-bit Serial Number.
These are reported as follows:
The 8-bit User Code is reported in bits 1 to 8 of the Protocol.
The 32-bit Serial Number is reported in bits 9 to 40 of the Protocol.
Bits 41 to 44 of the Protocol are the exclusive OR of the preceding 40 bits taken 4
at a time.

Wiegand 26-bit Protocol
Key Codes are reported as a 24-bit code consisting of an 8-bit Facility (or Site) Code,
and a 16-bit binary representation of the Key Code.
The following format is used:
Bit 1 is the even parity over the first 13 bits.
Bits 2 to 9 are the 8-bit Facility Code for Key Codes.
Bits 10 to 25 are the 16-bit Key Code.
Bit 26 is the odd parity over the last 13 bits.
HID Normal
The number of bits to output is determined from the information in the tag and will vary
between tags. The 26-bit or 44-bit selection does not impact on HID Tags.
HID Raw
In this Mode, the entire raw 45-bit HID Tag is output.
Keypad Model Settings (MDK900 only)
The 12-button Keypad is used to enter 5-digit PIN-codes in the range 00000 to 65535.
Wiegand protocol constraints disallow PIN-codes from 65536 to 99999. In this case the
Status LED turns Red and the Buzzer activates for 2 seconds.
The Reader can accept 1 to 4-digit PIN-codes by pressing the Hash Key (#) after you
have entered the PIN-code.
Errors made while entering the PIN-code can be corrected by pressing the Star Key (*)
followed by the correct PIN-code.
PIN code up to 5 digits with programmable facility code, output in 26-bit format.
Fixed length buffered keys from 1 –11 output in hexadecimal format with optional
parity.
NOTE: The output of the PIN-code keypad information is in 26-bit Wiegand format.
Fixed Length Key Output Mode
Once the specified number of keys are pressed, all the buffered keys are output in
hexadecimal format:

Table 1: Fixed Length Key Output Mode
Setting the Fixed Length Mode
The number of keys to be buffered and the parity option in the Fixed Length Mode is
set as follows:
1. Press and hold down key '2' for 3 seconds. The Status LED enters a fast flash
Mode and emits a long beep.
2. Enter a 3 digit number followed by the Hash Key (#). The first 2 digits specify the
key buffer length and must be in the range 00 to 11 (eleven). The third digit must
be a „0‟ where there is no parity and „1‟ where parity is added.
NOTE: If ‘00’ is entered for the key buffer length then the Key Mode reverts to PIN
Mode.
3. On acceptance of the setting the Status LED changes to Green.
4. If the settings are rejected the Status LED changes to Red.
Single Key 8-bit Burst Mode
To select this mode, specify the Fixed Length Buffered Mode to be “018”. This mode
reports each single key press as 8-bit code. Use Single Key 8-bit Burst Mode when
using Multi-discipline Readers in PAC Mode or TAG+PIN Mode.

3. On acceptance of the change, the Status LED will change to Green.
4. If the change is rejected the Status LED will change to Red.
Entering a Facility Code
A Facility Code only applies when PIN-codes are used. It is reported as part of the
Wiegand code and can be used to link a set of Multi-discipline Readers to a particular
Site.
A Facility Code can be entered into the Reader's memory. To set the Facility Code, do
the following:
1. Press and hold down key '1' for 3 seconds. The Status LED will enter a fast flash
Amber Mode.
2. Enter the Facility Code in the range 0 to 255 and finish by pressing the Hash Key
(#).
3. On acceptance of the Facility Code the Status LED will briefly change to Green
and the Buzzer will sound.
4. If the Facility Code is rejected the Status LED will change to Red for a longer
period and the Buzzer will sound.
Power-on Self-test
The Power-on Self-test tests the RAM and Flash Checksums.
If any parameter in the Self-test fails, the Multi-discipline Reader emits a continuous
beep for 2 seconds.
When the Multi-discipline Reader passes the Self-test, it emits two short beeps, each
200 ms in duration, separated by a 200 ms inter-beep pause.
When the Multi-discipline Reader is connected, check that the Status LED is illuminated
Red (steady). This will confirm that the connection is correct and working.
Serial Number Label
1. Once the Multi-discipline Reader is installed, sketch a rough site plan.
2. Attach the Multi-discipline Reader‟s loose Serial Number Label and the Terminal or
Controller‟s Fixed Address Label, to the sketched site plan in the position of the
Multi-discipline Reader.
The Multi-discipline Reader does not have its own Fixed Address. When connected to
a Terminal or Controller the Multi-discipline Reader is assigned one of the available
Fixed Addresses.
The Serial Number Label identifies the type of Multi-discipline Reader, and the Fixed
Address Label (shipped with the Terminal or Controller) identifies the Fixed Addresses.
Both these labels should be attached to the site plan to assist in identifying the
hardware once an Auto-ID is performed.
