1Introduction
The Gallagher T30 Keypad Reader is available in a variety of variants. The variant you have purchased
determines the available functionality and supported technologies for the reader.
The Multi Tech variants C300490 and C300491 support Gallagher mobile credentials, using Bluetooth®
low energy technology.
The reader can be mounted on a rectangular 50 mm x 75 mm (2 in x 3 in) flush box, a BS 4662 British
Standard square flush box, or any solid flat surface
The terminal sends information to the Gallagher Controller and acts upon information sent from the
Gallagher Controller. The terminal itself does not make any access decisions.
2Before you begin
2.1 Shipment contents
Check the shipment contains the following items:
•1 x Gallagher T30 Keypad Reader facia assembly
•1 x Gallagher T30 Keypad Reader bezel
•2 x 6-32 UNC (32 mm) Phillips drive fixing screws
•2 x M3.5 (40 mm) Phillips drive fixing screws
•5 x 25 mm No.6 self tapping, pan head, Phillips drive fixing screws
•1 x M3 Torx Post (T10) Security screw
2.2 Power supply
The Gallagher T30 Keypad Reader is designed to operate over a supply voltage range of 9 - 16
Vdc measured at the readers. The operating current draw is dependent 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 affected by a low quality, noisy power supply.
2.3 Cabling
The Gallagher T30 Keypad 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 specified to operate at
9 Vdc, for good engineering design it is recommended that the voltage at the reader should be
approximately 12 Vdc.
HBUS cabling topology
The HBUS communications protocol is based on the RS485 standard and allows the reader to
communicate over a distance of up to 500 m (1640 ft).
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"

3Ennnn Gallagher T30 Reader Installation Note| DRAFT2 | July 2020

wiring be required, the HBUS 4H/8H Modules and the HBUS Door Module allow multiple HBUS
devices to be individually wired to the one physical location.
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 termination jumpers to
the Controller. To terminate the Gallagher T30 Keypad Reader, connect the orange
(termination) wire to the green (HBUS A) wire. Termination 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 optimal HBUS RS485 performance.
*** Not applicable for PIV or Bluetooth® enabled reader installations.
**** 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, operating distances and performance may be reduced
depending on the cable quality.
•The recommendation for optimal performance is up to 20 T30 Keypad Readers can be
connected to one Controller 6000. Of these 20 terminals, up to 4 could be configured for
alarm zone (or fence controller) management.
A terminal is configured for alarm zone management when it has either Alarm Zones
configured on the Alarm Zones properties page or items configured upon its mimic panel.
3Distance between readers
The distance separating any two proximity readers must not be less than 200 mm (8 in) in all directions.
When mounting a proximity reader on an internal wall, check that any reader fixed to the other side of
the wall is not less than 200 mm (8 in) away.

4Installation
The Gallagher T30 Keypad Reader can be mounted on:
•a vertical, rectangular 50 mm x 75 mm (2 in x 3 in) flush box
•a BS 4662 British Standard square flush box
•any solid flat surface
The recommended mounting height for the terminal is 1.1 m (3.6 ft) from the floor level to the centre of
the terminal. However this may vary in some countries and you should check local regulations for
variations to this height.
Notes:
•Consideration should be given to the installation environment when using Bluetooth® enabled
readers, as the read range may be reduced.
•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 surface. A spacer
(C300318 or C300319) can be used to help mitigate this issue.
•A black dress plate (C300326) can be used to cover previously installed terminals ensuring a clean
finish for sites handling an upgrade.
•When mounting on a flush box, the corner screws must be used as well as the flush box screws.
Without corner screws the top of the product is vulnerable to separation from the wall.
1. Ensure the building cable has been run out through the flush box.
If you are not mounting to a flush box, use the terminal bezel as a guide, to drill all five holes. Drill the
13 mm (1/2 inch) diameter centre hole (this is the centre hole for which the building cable will exit
the mounting surface) and the four corner fixing holes. Ensure the centre hole allows the cable to run
freely out through the mounting surface, so that the terminal facia can clip into the bezel.
Note: There is no room for the building cable to be squeezed into the terminal bezel. The building
cable must remain within the flush box or wall cavity.
2. Run the building cable through the terminal bezel.
Note: If the terminal has already been connected to the building cable, you can pass the facia
through the bezel. Care must be taken to avoid scratching the screen and keypad when passing the
facia through the bezel.
3. Secure the bezel to the flush box using the two screws provided.
When securing the bezel to a vertical, rectangular flush box, use the 6-32 UNC screws provided.
When securing the bezel to a BS 4662 British Standard square flush box, use the M3.5 screws provided.

4. Drill pilot holes for the four corner fixing holes and the tamper tab. Secure the bezel to the mounting
surface using the four corner fixing screws provided. Secure the tamper tab (located in the bezel) to
the mounting surface using the remaining fixing screw provided. It is important the four corner fixing
screws are used to ensure the terminal is flush with and tight against the mounting surface.
Note: It is strongly recommended that you use the screws provided. If an alternative screw is used,
the head must be no larger nor deeper than that of the screw provided.

5. Connect the terminal tail extending from the facia assembly to the building cable.
An HBUS device connects to a Gallagher Controller 6000, Gallagher 4H/8H Module, a Gallagher HBUS
Door Module, or a Gallagher HBUS 8 Port Hub.
HBUS connections: HBUS connections terminated:
To terminate an HBUS device, connect the Orange (HBUS Termination) wire to the Green (HBUS A)
wire.
PIV readers connect to the Gallagher Controller 6000 High Spec PIV (C305101) only.
6. Fit the facia assembly into the bezel by clipping the small lip, into the top of the bezel and holding the
top, press the bottom of the facia assembly down into the bezel.
Note: Ensure that there is no pressure upon the wire set as it exits the terminal. Ensure the wire set
does not exit the reader at a sharp angle, as this may compromise the integrity of the wire set's water
seal.
7. Insert the M3 Torx Post Security screw (using a T10 Torx Post Security screwdriver) through the hole
at the bottom of the bezel to secure the facia assembly.
Note: The Torx Post Security screw needs only to be lightly tightened.
8. Removal of the facia assembly is a simple reversal of these steps.
9. Configure the terminal in Command Centre. If the terminal is connected as an HBUS device, refer to
the topic "Configuring an HBUS Terminal" or the topic "Configuring the PIV Card Reader" in the
Command Centre Configuration Client Online Help. If the terminal is connected as a Cardax IV device,
refer to the topic "Creating Readers" in the Command Centre Configuration Client Online Help.
