4 Mounting
The tSec 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.

4.1 Mounting Instructions
1. Select where to mount the 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 in the kit 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 in the kit to secure and fasten the
top case to the bottom mounted case.

5 Wiegand Connection
Readers are shipped in Single LED mode by default.
When using the standard Wiegand Interface to the access controller or reader expander two wiring methods
can be used. Dual LED operation allows the signalling of both LEDs independently using the LED control lines
and is ideal to show the status of alarm or other integrated signals. Single LED allows a single LED line to control
both LED colors.

7 Installer Programming
The tSec readers utilize built in programming functions that enable options to be configured via an RS-485 Serial
Interface. 125kHz capable tSec readers can also be programmed using a Nano/Vario 125kHz programming
card. These cards cannot be used to program the 13.56MHz series of tSec readers.

7.1 Entering RS-485 Programming Mode
1. Complete the wiring connections as shown for using an RS-485 USB Converter (see page 15).
Ensure that the unconnected wires are not shorting to each other or any other connection point. You can
still configure the units if they are terminated to a reader interface you will require the +, - and NA, NB
connections to be connected to the RS-485 USB Converter.
2. Power up the card reader and RS-485 USB Converter.
3. Open Hyper Terminal or a similar serial terminal program, set the communications port to the RS-485 USB
Converter and set the parameters to 38400, N, 8, 1 and VT100 terminal emulation.
4. Make a short between the brown and white wires together and power up the reader. A configuration menu
will appear.
i
Data entry and the menu will time out after 40 seconds of no activity and restart the reader, any
programming changes will be lost.

7.2 Entering 125kHz Programming Mode
Applies to the 125kHz series of tSec readers only.
125kHz programming mode is entered by presenting a PRX-PROG-LF (Programming Card - Nano/Vario
125kHz) to the unit within the first 2 minutes of power being applied. The reader beeps twice to indicate 125kHz
programming mode has been entered.
i
Data entry and the menu times out after 2 minutes of no activity and reverts back to normal activity,
any programming changes will be lost.

PRX-TSEC tSec Multi-Technology Card Reader Installation Manual | June 2017 17
To program the reader using 125kHz mode:
1. Present the card to the reader the number of times matching the data value option for the selected address.
2. Wait for the reader to beep twice.
3. Present the card the required number of times to set the desired option (as outlined by the 125kHz setting
column in the tables below).
4. Wait for the reader to beep twice indicating the data has been programmed correctly. At this stage the
reader is waiting for a new address to program.
5. If additional settings are required, repeat the above steps.
An invalid entry will result in a long tone being generated. The data can be entered again or allow the
reader to timeout to select another address.
6. Once complete, leave the programming interface to time out.
Example: To program Address 1 (Card/Tag Format), present the programming card to the reader once. The
card reader will respond by beeping twice to indicate data entry mode has been entered and that you can
present the card the required number of times to set the desired option.

7.4 DESFire Reading Mode
Applies to RS-485 programming mode only.
Reading mode determines how the data on the DESFire card will be processed by the Reader. The following
options are available by pressing the B key with the main menu displayed. To change the programmed reading
mode press the B key and the available modes will toggle on the screen.
Setting Description
CSN Card serial number (CSN) or electronic serial number (ESN) reading converts the serial
number of the card to a site code and card number.
CSN Reverse Reverse card serial number reading converts the serial number of the card to a site code
and card number. The data sent is the binary reverse order of the CSN.
DESfire DESFire is the most secure reading mode. All card access is secured with a different
AES 128 bits encryption key. The ICT DESFire card data is also protected with another
AES 256 bit encryption key.
Disable No DESFire cards will be read.

7.5 Mifare Reading Mode
Applies to RS-485 programming mode only.
Reading mode determines how the data on the Mifare card will be processed by the Reader. The following
options are available by pressing the Ckey with the main menu displayed. To change the programmed reading
mode press the Ckey and the available modes will toggle on the screen.
Setting Description
CSN Card serial number (CSN) or electronic serial number (ESN) reading converts the serial
number of the card to a site code and card number.
CSN Reverse Reverse card serial number reading converts the serial number of the card to a site code
and card number. The data sent is the binary reverse order of the CSN.
Secured Mifare Secured Mifare provides medium protection access. This mode can read only ICT
Secured Mifare cards. Each card has a diversified access key and the data is protected
with a unique AES 256 bit encryption key.
ICT Card Setting the reading mode to ICT Card, allows the reader to read the standard Mifare ICT
cards.
Sector Sector based reading is used to read custom sector and allows the data from the Mifare
sector to be read and then converted to Wiegand data. Using ICT Mifare format cards,
custom key can also be used to increase the card security.
HOTEL These cards are used for Ving Card integration.
Please refer to the Application Note AN-138: Protege Vingcard Mifare Integration.
All This mode allows the reader to read Secured Mifare and ICT Card format.
Disable No Mifare cards will be read.
i
CSN and CSN Reverse modes of operation are not secure. The CSN and ESN numbers found in ISO
compliant RFID devices are transmitted without encryption and can be fraudulently generated. The
CSN modes are made available for legacy system compatibility and not recommended for new
installations.
