The 810 smart card reader reads memory-
style smart cards and can output the data
in wiegand/aba formats as well as stan-
dard serial.
This reader can be used as a direct plug
and play replacement for barcode, mag-
netic stripe, wiegand, or prox readers
which are connected to access control
controllers.
Features of the 810 readers are:
lBicolored led (controlled by the
controller or by serial commands)
lWiegand (26 bit) output (emulation
models).
lABA emulation output (emulation
models).
lRS232 or RS422 connection
capability (serial models).
lOptional onboard relay for door
actuation control (serial models
only).
lMountable to a standard gang box,
with integral face plate.
The 810 readers read standard memory-
style smart cards and output the data in
either wiegand/aba format or serially.
Emulation models output both wiegand
and aba on seperate lines.
Cards read by the 810 must be pro-
grammed using the proper format (see
Card Format section) iin order to be read
by the reader.
After a successful read, the reader will
output the data to the receiving system
(computer or controller), and then the
receiving system can trigger the led or
relay located in the 810.
FUNCTIONALITY
Mounting the reader is performed just like
mounting a wall plate, with two screws that
screw into a standard gang box.
The reader is normally mounted vertically
as shown in the picture above however it
can also be mounted horizontally.
MOUNTING
WIRING
The reader contains an 11-position screw
terminal connector for easy wiring, as
shown in the picture below.
Depending on your installation, not all of
the 11 terminals will be used. The follow-
ing table lists the use for each of the
terminals.

The wires are easily conected to the termi-
nal by loosening the screw for the associ-
ated position, inserting the wire, and then
tightening the screw.
RELAY
There is a bi-color led located at the front
of the reader. This led is controlled exter-
nally (by a controller) in emulation mode
readers, and internally controlled (or
optionally externally controlled) in serial
mode readers.
With the emulation mode reader, the led
line is pulled to ground to make it red, and
pulled up to 5VDC to make it green. Addi-
tionally, you can oscillate the line to make
color variations of red and green. A 50%
duty cycle, for example, will give you
orange.
Normally, upon power start up, the led will
be red.
Serial readers have commands to turn on
and blink the leds.
POWER
Models are avialable which run off of
5VDC, 12VDC, or 24VDC. power usage
(maximum) is about 50ma.
Serial readers may be optionally ordered
with an internal relay. This relay can be
used to control the opening of doors or
other devices.
The relay is a form c relay, meaning there
is one common line, one normally open
line, and one normally closed line.
When the relay is not engaged, the nor-
mally closed line will always have the
same voltage potential as the common
line, while the normally open line will not
be connected. When the relay is engaged,
the normally closed line will not be con-
nected, and the normally open line will

COMMUNICATION
Serial communications is done using
RS232 , with the line set at 9600 baud, 8
data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.
This cannot be changed in the reader;
however special configurations may be
ordered.
It is not necessary to connect the serial
receive to the reader if you will not be
sending commands to the reader.
Wiegand/ABA emulation readers have 5
different output lines - 3 lines for the ABA
emulation, and 2 lines for the wiegand
emulation. This is done so that you can
use the reader in either of the above two
modes, without having to reprogram the
reader. Simply move the wires and you're
done.
Emulation output readers output both
wiegand and ABA data after a card is
read.
The output wires for emulation are line-
driven (not open collector). Open collector
units may be ordered on a special basis.
Transmission to and from the reader in
serial mode must be terminated by a
carriage return (hex 0D).
CARD READING
The reader has contacts for reading the
smart card on only one side, so the smart
card can be inserted only one way.
It is advisable to place a label or some
other way of identifying which side the
card should be inserted in, on the reader.
When a smart card of the proper format is
inserted into the reader, the reader will
transmit the smart card information auto-
matically to the controller (aba/wiegand) or
serial device.
Cards for use with the 810 consist of 8
characters maximum. The output data
stream for wiegand is a standard 26 bit
wiegand. The output in ABA is 8 numeric
characters. The serial output is 8 charac-
ters followed by a carriage return.
CARD FORMAT
Cards which are read by the 810 reader
have to be specially formatted (specific
data must be at specific locations on the
card) for reading.
This card format is defined in a different
document; however it is important to note
that only cards which are formatted in the
proper manner will read in the reader. This
is done for security purposes.
The style of card which is read by the
reader is a standard i2c memory card, with
8-bit addressing. Cards are available from
a number of manufacturers. Blank card
stock is also available through IBC.
have the same voltage potential as the
common line.
Upon power on, the relay is normally
disengaged.
The maximum ratings for the internal relay
is 30VDC, 500ma.
