Power Supply Requirements
Power for the Prox Mifare Series (Teardrop) reader is usually taken from the
incoming supply of the device to which it is connected. That is, from the:
•Cardax FT Reader I/O Interface
•Cardax FT Controller 3000
•Cardax FT Universal Reader Interface (Cardax FT URI)
•Cardax Commander Universal Reader Interface (Cardax Commander URI).
The supply at the reader should be 13.6 V DC ± 15%. The current draw is 180
mA per reader. This is in addition to the requirements of any other device (for
example, the URI) powered from the same supply.
Prox Mifare Series (Teardrop)

2 Part number 3E1100 R12
June 2007
Prox Mifare Series (Teardrop) readers require a good quality linear power
source. If you do not use the recommended power supply, it may affect the
performance of the reader.
Note: Switch mode power supplies are not recommended as they may reduce
the read range of the Prox Mifare Series (Teardrop) reader.
Cabling
The Prox Mifare Series (Teardrop) reader uses the Cardax IV communications
system. This means it can be connected to the following equipment:
•Cardax FT Reader I/O Interface
•Cardax FT Controller 3000
•Cardax FT URI
•Cardax Commander URI
Use 4 core, 0.2 mm2(AWG 24) cabling with a maximum, nominal capacitance
of 120 pf/m. The maximum external diameter of the cable must not exceed 5
mm (1/5 inch).
With this type of cable, the maximum distance between the Prox Mifare Series
(Teardrop) reader and the device to which it connects is 200 m (650 ft).
Note: You need a special cable terminating tool to connect the building cabling
to the Prox Mifare Series (Teardrop) reader. The tool has a head (Part
No. C861145) and handle (Part No. C861115). You also need a special
tool (Part No. C41611 ) to open the Prox Mifare Series (Teardrop)
reader if necessary.
Mounting Distance Between Proximity Readers
The distance between any 2 proximity readers must be greater than 200mm in
all directions.

Mounting
Note: The Prox Mifare Series (Teardrop) reader has been designed to metric
specifications. Therefore any imperial measurements provided are
approximate only.
The Prox Mifare Series (Teardrop) reader is designed to be mounted on any
solid flat surface. However installation on metal surfaces, particularly those
with a large surface area will reduce read range. The extent to which the range
is reduced will depend upon the type of metal used. To minimise this effect,
plastic spacers which may be mounted between the reader and the metal
surface are available (Part number C190980). Please contact your local Cardax
dealer for more information.
Note: The grommet through which the cables feed into the base of the Prox
Mifare Series (Teardrop) reader helps to keep the unit waterproof.
Using the mounting dimensions on the back of this Installation Note as a guide,
drill a 20 mm (3/4inch) diameter hole for the base extrusion through or into the

4 Part number 3E1100 R12
June 2007
mounting surface to a minimum depth of 40 mm (11/2in).
Drill two pilot holes for the fixing screws.
Run the building cabling through the base and grommet.
Fit the base to the 20 mm (3/4inch) hole and secure it to the mounting surface
using two of the fixing screws provided.
Note: The surface the reader is being attached to will determine which length
screws are most appropriate from those provided.
WARNING: You must use the screws provided, taking care not to over-
tighten them. Make sure that the heads of the counter sunk screws are flush
with the top of the holes in the base, and ensure there is clearance for the screw
that closes the base and facia together.
Failure to do this, and/or using other types of screws could interfere with the
electronics.
Please note that the manufacturers warranty is voided if the electronics are
damaged as a result of the incorrect screws being used or installed incorrectly

Part number 3E1100 R12 5
June 2007
to secure the base.
Push the socket back into the grommet.
Push the grommet and socket back into the Prox Mifare Series (Teardrop)
reader base.
Check the tape covering the antenna wire solder joints is in position. Install the
PCB assembly into the base, ensuring the connector on the back of the PCB
assembly fits into the socket in the base. The PCB assembly should click into
place.
Fit the facia onto the base by clipping the small lip, inside the facia, over the
top edge of the base and holding the top, press the bottom of the facia down
over the base. Then insert the M3 x 16 Torx Security Screw (using an M3
Torx Post Security screwdriver) through the hole at the bottom of the facia and
into the threaded metal insert in the base to secure the facia.
Removal of the facia is a simple reversal of these steps.
FCC Compliance
For markets requiring FCC compliance, a
ferrite (part number C190977) must be
applied to the cable, with two-turns of the
cable running through it. Position the
ferrite as close to the entry point of the
reader as possible, as shown:

6 Part number 3E1100 R12
June 2007
Connections
The Prox Mifare Series (Teardrop) reader connects to one of the following:
•Cardax FT Controller 3000
•Cardax FT Reader I/O Interface
•Cardax FT URI
•Cardax Commander URI
Use the cable terminating tool to connect the cables to the socket as described
in the following sections.
Pin number 4 of the Prox Mifare Series (Teardrop) reader connector feeds into
the cable terminating tool first.
Connecting to the Cardax FT Controller 3000
The Cardax FT Controller 3000 interfaces the following types of reader into
the Cardax FT Command Centre system:
•Cardax IV readers, including Prox Mifare Series (Teardrop) readers
•Wiegand readers

Setting the Jumpers
Tamper the URI by opening the door of the cabinet. This releases the tamper
switch.
The URI has a set of six jumpers grouped into two sets of three. One group is
labelled ENTRY and the other is labelled EXIT.
ENTRY jumpers set the voltage and card type of the reader connected to plug
P5. EXIT jumpers set the voltage and card type of the reader connected to plug
P4.
Set the Entry and Exit jumpers for the Prox Mifare Series (Teardrop) reader as
shown below:

Confirmed Entry
Connector J2 on the URI controls the Confirmed Entry function. If you
initialise the URI with no jumper fitted on J2 the Confirmed Entry function
will be ON. To switch the Confirmed Entry function OFF, you must initialise
the URI with a mini-jumper fitted across both pins of connector J2.
Connecting the Reader
Connect the Prox Mifare Series (Teardrop) reader to the URI Entry Plug P5.
Note:
If you are using two entry readers (2 door software) you must connect the
second entry reader to URI Plug P4 to initialise the URI. Ensure Entry and Exit
jumpers are set to the same configuration.
If you are only using an Exit reader you must connect the reader to the Entry
Plug P5 to initialise the URI. After you have initialised the URI you should
connect the Exit reader to URI Exit Plug P4.
