Iron logic Matrix III MF-I User manual

Matrix III MF-I
Mifare 13.56 MHz RFID reader
with connection via iButton / Wiegand-26 protocols
User Manual
1. OVERVIEW
Matrix III MF-I reader is used in Access Control Systems (ACS) to acquire codes from approached
Mifare tokens (cards, key fobs, bracelets etc.) and transmit them to controllers via iButton (Dallas
Touch Memory) or Wiegand protocols.
A distinctive feature of this model is the support of IronLogic Protected technology, which provides
reliable protection against card cloning (more details on www.ironlogic.me website). To use
Protected technology, in addition to a Matrix III MF-I reader, customers require: a Z-2 USB MF
reader with special firmware, an IronLogic Object Card and clean Mifare cards or key fobs to create
access cards.

3. MOUNTING AND CONNECTION
The reader should be mounted on a flat surface, in a place allowing unimpeded token access to the
reader.
To mount the Matrix III MF-Ireader, perform the following operations:
1. Mark and drill the mounting holes (Fig. 2)
2. Connect the reader wires, as per Table 1.
3. Insulate the wire junction points.
4. Supply power to the device (the LED shines red).
5. Test proper device operation by approaching it with a token.
6. Mount the reader in the desired place and fix it with the supplied screws.
7. Snap on the decorative case and fix it with the supplied screw.
Note 1:When install two readers closer than 10 cm from one another, connect the SYNC wires
(orange) on both readers to each other.
Note 2: Mount the device under ambient temperature no colder than −5°C.
Note 3:To ensure proper operation at the specified distance between reader and controller, a
CAT5e UTP cable must be used (see Fig.1).

4. OPERATION
Reader operation without external indication control:
1. When power is supplied and there's no card in the working zone, the LED shines red.
2. On card approach, its number is acquired. If done successfully, the LED turns green for a
short time, then switches itself off, at the same time a short beep also sounds.
3. While the card remains within the reader working zone, the LED stays off.
External indication control for the buzzer and red/green colours of the LEDs is done by shorting
the corresponding terminal (BEEP (blue), LED R (yellow), LED G (green)) to the common
ground terminal (GND (black)).

External indication control can be used in parallel with internal indication control; by default, both
the audial and visual indications are internally controlled. After external indication control signal
has been activated for one of indication modes (for example, for the visual indication), that mode
becomes externally controlled, while the other (in this example, the audial indication) remains
under internal control.
5. PROTECTED MODE
In the Protected Mode, the reader provides reliable protection against unauthorised access. To
initialise the Protected Mode, an IronLogic Object card containing a special key is used. This key is
stored onto blank access cards using a Z-2 USB MF desktop reader with special firmware.
To store the special key to a Matrix III MF-I reader, touch it with an IronLogic Object card. From now
on, the Matrix III MF-I will transmit to the controller only UIDs (serial numbers) of initialised access
cards. This reader supports holding of up to 10 IronLogic Object cards at the same time.The first
IronLogic Object card stored into the reader becomes its Master card. It allows storing other
IronLogic Object cards and switching off the Protected Mode. Without this Master card, the reader
cannot be reverted to initial, Unprotected mode.
5.1. Switching Between Protected and Unprotected Mode
From the factory, the reader arrives in Unprotected mode, transmitting to the controller the UIDs of
all the access cards it could read.
5.1.1. Entering Protected Mode.
1) On an unpowered reader, connect DATA0 (white) and LED R (yellow) terminals (See Fig.1).
2) Power on the reader.
3) If the LED is blinking red and a signal is sounding, the reader already is in Protected Mode.
4) If the LED is shining solid red, approach the reader with an IronLogic Object card. For 1 second,
the reader changes LED colour to green and issues a beep. The Object card has now been stored
into the reader and has become a Master card.
5) Power off the reader.
5.1.2. Storing IronLogic Object Cards (Up to 10).
1) Ensure that the reader is powered on and operational.
2) Approach it with the Master card; the LED starts blinking red. Keep approaching the reader with
more IronLogic Object Cards, with 16 s or less in between the cards. Each new card is
acknowledged with a green LED flash.
3) To exit Storing Object Cards mode, either wait 16 s, or approach the reader again with the Master
card.
5.1.3. Leaving Protected Mode.
1) On an unpowered reader, connect DATA1 (brown) and LED R (yellow) terminals.
2) Power on the reader.
3) If the LED is blinking red and a signal is sounding, the reader already is in Unprotected mode.
4) If the LED is shining solid red, approach the reader with the Mastercard. For 1 second,the reader
changes LED colour to green and issues a beep. All the Object cards stored into the reader will be
erased, and the Unprotected mode will be activated.
5) Power off the reader.

6. CONFIGURATION
The controller interface parameters can be configured in any Protected Mode state. Initially,
Wiegand transmission protocol is active. To select iButton protocol, connect DATA1 (brown) and
GND (black) terminals. iButton (Dallas Touch Memory) is transmitted on DATA0 (white).
6.1. Parameter Numbers and Values
Note: An asterisk (*) next to values marks them as factory defaults.
6.2. Manual Parameter Setup
1) On the unpowered reader, connect the terminals: BEEP (blue) to DATA0 (white), and LED R
(yellow) to GND (black).
2) Power on the reader.
3) Choosing parameter: the reader starts to beep in series, in sync with the LED flashing red.
The number of these flashes corresponds to active parameter number (1…3). To select the
parameter, when its number sounds, connect LED G (green) and GND (black) terminals. The
reader will start indicating this parameter value.
4) Indicating parameter value is like indicating parameter number, but instead of LED flashing
red, it flashes green. Parameter values indication begins with the current parameter value. To
select the currently active parameter value: when it is sounding, connect LED G (green) and
GND (black) terminals.
5) Power off the reader. To adjust another parameter, power on the reader again.
6.3. Configuration via RS-485
Configuration via an RS-485 link is done by RdConf software (see www.ironlogic.me website)
and a Z-397 Guard connector.
1) Connect the reader to an RS-485 connector:
a. DATA0 (white) to A;
b. DATA1 (brown) to B;
c. GND (black) to G.
2) Connect BEEP (blue) to DATA0 (white) terminal.
3) Power on the reader.
4) Disconnect BEEP (blue) from DATA0 (white). RS-485 interface on the reader is now active
until power off.
5) Launch the RdConf software, choose COM port of the converter, then configure the
parameters. page 4
