1 Introducon
The Gallagher T10 Reader is a smart card proximity reader. It can be installed as either an entry reader
or exit reader. The reader sends informaon to the Gallagher Controller and acts upon informaon sent
from the Gallagher Controller. The reader itself does not make any access decisions.
The reader is available in four variants. The supported technologies and compability for each variant is
shown in the table below.

2.1 Shipment contents
Check the shipment contains the following items:
• 1 x Gallagher T10 Reader facia assembly
• 1 x Gallagher T10 Reader bezel
• 1 x M3 Torx Post Security screw
• 2 x 25 mm No.6 self tapping, pan head, Phillips drive xing screws
• 2 x 40 mm No.6 self tapping, pan head, Phillips drive xing screws
2.2 Power supply
The Gallagher T10 Reader is designed to operate over a supply voltage range of 9 - 16 Vdc
measured at the terminals. The operang current draw is dependant on the supply voltage at
the reader. The power source should be linear or a good quality switched-mode power supply.
The performance of the reader may be aected by a low quality, noisy power supply.
2.3 Cabling
The Gallagher T10 Reader requires a minimum cable size of 4 core 24 AWG (0.2 mm2) stranded
security cable. This cable allows the transmission of data (2 wires) and power (2 wires). When
using a single cable to carry both power supply and data, both the power supply voltage drop
and data requirements must be considered. Although the reader is specied to operate at 9 Vdc,
for good engineering design it is recommended that the voltage at the reader should be
approximately 12 Vdc.
