1 Introducon
The Gallagher T15 Reader is a smart card and Bluetooth® low energy technology 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 ten variants. The supported technologies and compability for each variant is
shown in the table below.

2 Before you begin
2.1 Shipment contents
Check the shipment contains the following items:
• 1 x Gallagher T15 Reader facia assembly
• 1 x Gallagher T15 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 T15 Reader is designed to operate over a supply voltage of 13.6 Vdc measured
at the reader 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 T15 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.
HBUS cabling topology
The HBUS communicaons protocol is based on the RS485 standard and allows the reader to
communicate over a distance of up to 500 m (1640 ).
The cabling between HBUS devices should be done in a "daisy chain" topology, (i.e. A "T" or
"Star" topology should not be used between devices). Should "Star" or "Home-Run" wiring be
required, the HBUS 4H/8H Modules and the HBUS Door Module allow mulple HBUS devices to
be individually wired to the one physical locaon.
The end devices on the HBUS cable should be terminated using 120 ohms resistance. To
terminate the Gallagher Controller 6000, connect the supplied on-board terminaon jumpers
to the Controller. To terminate a reader, connect the orange (terminaon) wire to the green
(HBUS A) wire. Terminaon is already included at the HBUS Module, (i.e. each HBUS port is
permanently terminated at the module).

* The matching of wire sizes to equivalent wire gauges are only approximate.
** Recommended cable types for opmal HBUS RS485 performance.
*** Not applicable for PIV or Bluetooth® enabled reader installaons.
**** Tested with 13.6V at start of cable.
Notes:
• Shielded cable may reduce the obtainable cable length. Shielded cable should be
grounded at the Controller end only.
• If other cable types are used, operang distances and performance may be reduced
depending on the cable quality.
• HBUS allows up to 20 readers to be connected to a single cable. Each reader requires
13.6 Vdc to funcon correctly. The cable length and the number of readers connected will
have an impact on the voltage at each reader.
3 Distance between readers
The distance separang any two proximity readers must not be less than 200 mm (8 in) in all direcons.
When mounng a proximity reader on an internal wall, check that any reader xed to the other side of
the wall is not less than 200 mm (8 inches) away.

4 Installaon
ATTENTION: This equipment contains components that can be damaged by
electrostac discharge. Ensure both you and the equipment are earthed before
beginning any servicing.
The Gallagher T15 Reader is designed to be mounted on any solid at surface. However installaon on
metal surfaces, parcularly 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 surface.
Note: Consideraon should be given to the installaon environment when using Bluetooth® enabled
readers, as the read range may be reduced.
The recommended mounng height for the reader is 1.1 m (3.6 ) from the oor level to the centre of
the reader device. However this may vary in some countries and you should check local regulaons for
variaons to this height.
1. Use the reader bezel as a guide to drill all three holes. Drill the 13 mm (1/2 inch) diameter centre
hole (this is the centre hole for which the building cable will exit the mounng surface) and the
two xing holes.
2. Run the building cabling out through the centre hole and through the reader bezel.
3. Secure the bezel to the mounng surface using the two xing screws provided. It is important
the bezel of the reader is ush with and ght against the mounng surface. Three screw
locaons have been provided. Gallagher recommend using the outer screw locaons.
Note: It is strongly recommended that you use the screws provided. If an alternave screw is
used, the head must be no larger nor deeper than that of the screw provided.
Note: Ensure the centre hole allows the cable to run freely out through the mounng surface, so
that the reader facia can clip into the bezel.

4. Connect the reader tail extending from the facia assembly to the building cable. Connect the
wires for the appropriate reader you wish to interface, either an HBUS Reader or a Cardax IV
Reader, as shown in the following diagrams.
Note: PIV and Bluetooth® enabled readers must be connected as HBUS Readers. PIV readers
connect to the Gallagher Controller 6000 High Spec PIV (C305101) only.

5. Fit the facia assembly into the bezel by clipping the small lip, into the top of the bezel and holding
the top, press the boom of the facia assembly down into the bezel.
6. Insert the M3 Torx Post Security screw (using a T10 Torx Post Security screwdriver) through the
hole at the boom of the bezel to secure the facia assembly.
Note: The Torx Post Security screw needs only to be lightly ghtened.

Hint: Aer removal of the security screw, press the top of the facia. The boom of the facia will
exit the reader bezel.
8. Congure the reader in Command Centre. If the reader is connected as an HBUS Reader, refer to
the topic "Conguring HBUS Devices" in the Command Centre Conguraon Client Online Help.
If the reader is connected as a Cardax IV Reader, refer to the topic "Creang Readers" in the
