Mounting
The card reader is intended to provide the reading component of access control, time and attendance and
alarm systems. It is intended to be mounted on a wall with adequate air flow around and through it.
Mounting Instructions
1. Select where to mount the card reader, ensuring it is mounted a minimum of 1.1m (3.5ft) away from other
wiring, such as ACM power, computer data wiring, telephone wiring and wiring to electric lock devices. Use
the template sticker provided with the card reader as a guide to correctly position the unit.
2. Hold the rear case half against the wall and mark the mounting holes and cable entry area. The cable entry
area should align with a hole cut through the plaster wall-board. Cables are intended to be run inside the
wall. Use appropriate screws (not supplied) to affix the case to the wall.
3. Run the wiring. Refer to later sections of this manual for the electrical connections. Leave about 20cm (8") of
wire protruding through the center of the mounted half of the case.
4. Connect the wiring to the reader electronics, then use the top case to press gently on the bottom mounted
case until the screw hole for securing the top and bottom case together lines up.
5. To complete the installation, use the M3 x 8mm Plastite screw provided with the tSec Reader to secure and
fasten the top case to the bottom mounted case.
PRX-TSEC Range | tSec Multi-Technology Card Reader with Bluetooth® Technology | Installation Manual 12

Reader Connection
The recommended cable types for RS-485 are:
⦁Belden 9842 or equivalent
⦁24 AWG twisted pair with characteristic impedance of 120ohm
The recommended cable types for Wiegand are:
⦁22 AWG alpha 5196, 5198, 18 AWG alpha 5386, 5388
Warning: The reader outputs D0 (green wire) and D1 (white wire) can switch to a maximum capacity of
50mA. Exceeding this amount will damage the output.

For more information about OSDP support on tSec Readers, including configuring readers for secure channel
communications, see Application Note 321: Configuring tSec Multi-Technology Card Readers for OSDP
Communication.
OSDPBaud Rate Requirement
For a tSec Reader operating in OSDPmode to communicate with an OSDP Server, it must have the same baud
rate as the reader port it is connected to.
⦁The default tSec Reader baud rate is 38400
⦁The typical default reader port baud rate is 9600
The tSec Reader baud rate can be programmed using:
⦁A mobile device running the Protege Config App
⦁A correctly encoded MIFAREconfig card
A suitably configured MIFARE config card can be ordered from the ICT customer services team.
To program the reader using the ConfigApp select the Uart Configuration TLV and set the Baud to 9600.
For detailed information on programming tSec Readers, refer to AN-283: Programming tSec Reader Functions.
PRX-TSEC Range | tSec Multi-Technology Card Reader with Bluetooth® Technology | Installation Manual 17

Programming the Card Reader
tSec Readers can be programmed for a wide range of functionality to suit your site's requirements.
Card reader programming is configured by applying specific TLV (Type Length Value) settings to the reader to
enable, disable and configure reader options. tSec Reader configuration can be programmed using:
⦁A mobile device running the Protege Config App
⦁An encoded MIFAREconfig card
⦁A 125kHz programming card
Programming options are dependent on hardware compatibility and firmware versions.
Important: tSec Readers can only be programmed within 2 minutes of startup. In order to program the reader
you will need to disconnect power and complete programming within 2 minutes of powering up.
For detailed information on programming tSec Readers, refer to AN-283: Programming tSec Reader Functions.
Protege Config App
The Protege Config App provides a secure, convenient and flexible method for programming a Bluetooth®
enabled tSec Reader.
To use the Config App you will need:
⦁An app account
⦁A mobile credential
To use the Config App to program a tSec Reader, the reader must meet the following requirements:
⦁Firmware version 1.04.254 or higher
⦁Bluetooth® capability
Programming Summary
To program a tSec Reader using the Config App:
1. You will first need to log in to the app using your app account.
2. Select your Credential Profile.
Your credential profile is automatically assigned to your app account with your mobile credential, and is
based on the credential issuer and site the credential was allocated to.
3. Create a Reader Configuration (config) comprising the required TLVsettings.
4. Activate Bluetooth® on your device (if not already activated).
5. Power cycle the reader you want to program.
6. Select the Config to program the reader with.
7. Apply the configuration to the reader, within two minutes of startup. Hold your mobile device close to the
reader and tap Scan Closest to apply the configuration.
When programming is successful, the reader will beep 5 times quickly then restart.
Config App Programming Examples
The following examples illustrate programming some common tSec Reader configuration requirements, using
the Config App.
PRX-TSEC Range | tSec Multi-Technology Card Reader with Bluetooth® Technology | Installation Manual 18

Enable OSDP Output Mode
The following programming example demonstrates how to create a config that enables the tSec Reader to use
the OSDPcommunication protocol.
1. Log in to the Protege Config App, using your app account.
2. Select your Credential Profile.
3. Add a new Reader Configuration called OSDP Output Mode.
4. Tap the Add TLV dropdown and select the Hex option.
5. In the Hex field, enter the OSDP Output Mode Hex code 0B0104, then tap Save.
You can now apply the configuration to the required reader(s). Power cycle the reader and select and apply
your new OSDP Output Mode config within two minutes of startup.
For more information on configuring OSDP, see AN-321: Configuring tSec Readers for OSDP Communication.
ISO14443 Gain forDESFire EV2 Tags
To read DESFire EV2 tags, the ISO14443 gain should be set to 6. Some tSec Reader firmware versions do not
contain the required ISO14443 gain configuration by default, so it is necessary to program the configuration.
1. Log in to the Protege Config App, using your app account.
2. Select your Credential Profile.
3. Add a new Reader Configuration called ISO14443 Gain for EV2 Tags.
4. Tap the Add TLV dropdown and select the Hex option.
5. In the Hex field, enter the ISO14443 Gain 6 Hex code 180106, then tap Save.
You can now apply the configuration to the required reader(s). Power cycle the reader and select and apply
your new ISO14443 Gain for EV2 Tags config within two minutes of startup.
Enable Dual LED Mode
By default tSec Readers are operate in single LED mode (when wired in Wiegand configuration). To enable dual
LED mode, you need to change its configuration. For more information, see Wiegand Reader Connection
(page14).
1. Log in to the Protege Config App, using your app account.
2. Select your Credential Profile.
3. Add a new Reader Configuration called Dual LED Mode.
4. Tap the Add TLV dropdown and select the LED Mode option.
5. Set the LED Mode to Dual, then tap Save.
PRX-TSEC Range | tSec Multi-Technology Card Reader with Bluetooth® Technology | Installation Manual 19

Set Wiegand Output Mode
By default, tSec Readers are configured to output Wiegand data. However, if the reader is ever connected to a
reader expander configured to use RS-485, the reader will switch into RS-485 communication mode. If you want
to use the reader's Wiegand output again, you need to change its configuration.
1. Log in to the Protege Config App, using your app account.
2. Select your Credential Profile.
3. Add a new Reader Configuration called Wiegand Output Mode.
4. Tap the Add TLV dropdown and select the Output Mode option.
5. Set the Output Mode to Wiegand Output, then tap Save.
You can now apply the configuration to the required reader(s). Power cycle the reader and select and apply
your new Wiegand Output Mode config within two minutes of startup.
Enable CSN Reading Mode
By default, tSec Readers will read ICT secured formats from high frequency cards. However, for lower security
sites using third-party cards it can be useful to read and send the Card Serial Number (CSN) instead.
WARNING: The CSN of your MIFARE card can be read and duplicated by anyone with access to the card. It is
not recommended to use CSN reading on high security sites.
1. Log in to the Protege Config App, using your app account.
2. Select your Credential Profile.
3. Add a new Reader Configuration called CSNReading Mode.
4. Tap the Add TLV dropdown and select the CSNReading Mode option.
5. Tap the dropdown and select all the appropriate CSNreading options to enable, then tap OK.
6. Tap Save.
You can now apply the configuration to the required reader(s). Power cycle the reader and select and apply
your new CSNReading Mode config within two minutes of startup.
