Introduction
The Gallagher SMB T11 Reader can be configured as an arming reader or access reader.
The reader allows users to arm, disarm, or request access at a locked door with a smartphone
(via Bluetooth®or NFC) or a Gallagher SMB Key Tag.
Connections
The HBUS communications protocol allows a single reader to communicate over a distance
of up to 500 m (1640 ft) from the controller, when using data only in a single CAT5E cable.
Cabling should be a minimum size of 0.2 mm2(24 AWG). 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).
Connect the reader tail to the building cable. If the reader is the last device on the run,
terminate the reader by connecting the Orange wire to the Green wire.

Distance between readers
The distance separating any two readers must not be less than 200 mm (8 inches) in all
directions. When mounting the reader on an internal wall, check that any reader fixed to the
other side of the wall is not less than 200 mm (8 inches) away.
200 mm

Installation
The reader is designed to be mounted on vertically orientated electrical flush (gang) boxes, or
any solid flat surface. 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.
The recommended mounting height for the reader is 1.1 m (3.6 ft) from the floor level to the
centre of the reader. However this may vary in some countries and you should check local
regulations for variations to this height.
ATTENTION: This equipment contains components that can be damaged by electrostatic
discharge. Ensure both you and the equipment are earthed before beginning any servicing.

Bluetooth®connection settings
Environmental factors (e.g. metal surfaces) will affect the reader's Bluetooth®performance.
The following Bluetooth® connection settings can be adjusted to improve the user's phone
performance when communicating with the reader.
These settings are adjusted in the Configuration App on the Reader's Properties tab.
Transmit Power
Increasing the Transmit Power will increase the readers Bluetooth® read range. Adjusting this
range will increase both the Door Connection and Local Arming ranges. The default value is
-26 dBm (decibel-milliwatts).
Door Connection Range
This is the range at which the customer’s Bluetooth® device will automatically connect to the
reader and grant access to the user if the user has access privilege to the area the door is
associated to. The default value is 45 dBm (decibel-milliwatts) and must always be less than
the value set for the local arming range.
Local Arming Range
This is the range within which the user can manually connect their Bluetooth® device to the
reader to arm or disarm their alarm system. The default value is 64 dBm (decibel-milliwatts).
