1 IntroducƟon
The Gallagher T12 Reader is a smart card and Bluetooth® low energy technology reader. It can be
installed as either an entry reader or exit reader. It can be mounted on a BS 4662 Brish Standard
square flush box.
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 below.

2 Before you begin
2.1 Shipment contents
Check the shipment contains the following items:
• 1 x Gallagher T12 Reader facia assembly
• 1 x Gallagher T12 Reader bezel
• 1 x M3 Torx Post Security screw
• 2 x M3.5 Phillips drive fixing screws
• 4 x 25 mm No.6 self tapping, pan head, Phillips drive fixing screws
• 4 x 40 mm No.6 self tapping, pan head, Phillips drive fixing screws
2.2 Power supply
The Gallagher T12 Reader is designed to operate at a supply voltage of 13.6Vdc measured at the
reader terminals. The operang current draw is dependant on the supply voltage at the reader.
For a MIFARE reader, at 13.6 Vdc the current draw is 50 mA (idle). During credenal read, beeper
and LED acvity, the current will momentarily reach 77 mA (maximum). For a MulTech reader,
at 13.6 Vdc the current draw is 80 mA (idle) and will momentarily reach 142 mA (maximum). 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 T12 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. For good engineering design it is recommended that
the voltage at the reader should be approximately 12 Vdc.
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 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 at
least 9 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 fixed to the other side of
the wall is not less than 200 mm (8 in) away.

4 InstallaƟon
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 T12 Reader is designed to be mounted on a standard Brish electrical flush box, or any
solid flat 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 floor 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. Ensure the building cable has been run out through the flush box.
If you are not mounng to a flush box, use the reader 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 mounng surface) and the four fixing holes.
2. Run the building cabling out through the centre hole and through the reader bezel.
3. Secure the bezel to the flush box using the two M3.5 screws provided. It is important the bezel
of the reader is flush with and ght against the mounng surface.
If you are not mounng to a flush box, secure the bezel to the mounng surface using the four
fixing screws provided.
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.
Notes:
• Bluetooth® enabled readers must be connected as HBUS Readers.
• Gallagher High Sec readers must be connected as HBUS Readers. Gallagher High Sec
reader connect to the Gallagher High Sec Controller 6000 (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.
