1 Introduction

The VR20M-MFand AR50M-MF are mullion-mount card readers with modern anti-hacking security over

OSDP and support for the traditional Wiegand protocol. When installed as part of a secure system over

OSDP, the communication from the reader or the controller they are connected to cannot be

compromised. The readers are made of hard wearing materials and will endure most weather conditions.

The readers are easy to mount and can be mounted on a flat surface. The readers can be cleaned with

most kinds of domestic detergents. All readers have a multicolour light frame. The AR50M-MF has a

keypad for PIN code.

5 Mounting and connecting

The mullion readers are surface-mounted readers. The readers can be mounted with cables led through the

back of the unit or led in from either side through knockout gaps.

For wiring details please refer to:

lConnecting the cables on page13.

5.1 Mounting a reader

To ensure a close fit, mount the reader on a flat surface.

To attach the base to a surface:

1. Make a small hole in the back of the base gasket (item1 in the diagram below). Use this hole to feed

the cable through the gasket and into the reader base.

2. Attach the base to the wall with three screws: one in the middle at the top of the base, and one in

each of the corners at the bottom of the base.

1Cable entry through base gasket

2Tamper screw

3Tamper base

3. If tamper protection is required, fix the screw (item 3) into the tamper base (item 2).

Do not over tighten the screw as this can damage the tamper base.

4. Continue to follow the instructions detailed in Connecting the cables on page13.

15.04.2019

5.2 Mounting a reader with cables fed from the side

If the cables are fed from the side:

1. Remove the gasket from the base.

2. Identify which of the knockouts the cables should be fed through.

3. Use a pliers to pull the knockout away from the base.

4. Remove the corresponding knockout on the cover.

5. Attach the base to the wall with three screws: one in the middle at the top of the base and one in

each of the corners at the bottom of the base.

1Tamper base

2Tamper screw

6. If tamper protection is required, fix the screw into the hole on the tamper base. Do not over

tighten the screw as this can damage the tamper base.

7. Feed the cables through the opening and reinsert the gasket. Follow the instructions for

Connecting the cables on the next page.

Siemens Switzerland Ltd. recommend sealing the gap that the knockout

creates with a silicon sealant. Do this after you have closed the reader. Please

note that a reader with a removed knockout does not meet the standard for IP

55.

5.3 Connecting the cables

5.3.1 Connecting the reader in OSDP mode

Use the terminal block marked +-BA (see number 2 in Package contents on page9 and a pair of twisted

screened cable to connect the cables in OSDP mode.

1. Attach the cables according to the respective indicators on the second, +-BA terminal block (lower

terminal block) and the base:

Reader Controller

++12V

-0V

2. Insert the ridge on the end of the terminal block marked +-BA into the slot marked +,-,B,A.

3. Gently push the terminal block towards the base until it clicks.

4. Push the cables back.

Please note that you must set the Jumpers to configure your application.

For more information on setting the Jumpers in OSDP mode see Setting the

Jumpers for OSDP on page16.

For more information on setting the Jumpers in Wiegand mode see Setting the

Jumpers for Wiegand on page17.

On the reverse of the front plate, Jumper 3 is used to determine EOL (see the diagram in Connecting

the cables above). By default EOL is ON and the reader acts as the last reader on the bus. However,

if the reader is an intermediate reader on the bus, Jumper 3 must be removed.

Mullion Reader – User Manual Mounting and connecting

15.04.2019

5.3.2 Connecting the reader in Wiegand mode

Use the terminal blocks marked +-BA and RY/TGH and a pair of twisted screened cables (4 pairs +

screen), such as Belden 9502 to connect the reader in Wiegand mode.

1. Attach the cables according to the respective indicators on the communication and power

terminal block (+-BA terminal block (lower terminal block)):

2. Attach the cables on the LED, tamper,and horn terminal block (RY/TGH terminal block (upper

terminal block)):

RRed LED VO1 Red

Y/T* Tamper input Zone Input (tamper)1Tamper input1

HBuzzer output System Output1Buzzer output1

*The Tamper output (default setting) connection may alternatively be configured to provide a

Yellow input to the reader. The Tamper output/ Yellow input options are mutually exclusive.

1This connection is optional.

When the tamper output option is configured there is no yellow indication input. In this instance,

you can turn on the yellow indication LED by setting both the red and green indication inputs low.

Both the red and green indication LEDs are turned off at this time.

The buzzer is activated by setting the horn input low. The buzzer is deactivated by setting the horn

input high.

3. Insert the ridge on the end of the upper or lower terminal block into the corresponding slot.

4. Gently push the terminal block towards the base until it clicks.

5. Remove the Jumper 3 (see the diagram in Connecting the cables on page13). Jumper 3 is used to

determine EOL. By default the reader has EOL ON. EOL is always off in Wiegand mode.

Please note that you must set the Jumpers to configure your application. For more information on

setting the Jumpers in Wiegand mode see Setting the Jumpers for Wiegand on page17.

5.4 Setting the Jumpers

There are three jumpers inside the front of the reader. Use the jumpers to set the reader to OSDP or

Wiegand mode, to set OSDP Addressing or Wiegand format, and to set the End Of Line (EOL) status

for the reader.

1Set reader to OSDP or Wiegand mode

2Set OSDP addressing or Wiegand formats

3Set End Of Line (EOL) status for the reader

5.6 Setting the Jumpers for Wiegand

By default, the VR20 and VR50 Mullion readers are configured to transmit standard mode 32 Bit Wiegand,

37 Bit Wiegand, or 56 Bit Wiegand.

Some installations may require transmission in Reverse Mode for 26 Bit Wiegand, 32 Bit Wiegand or 56 Bit

Wiegand.

If you are adding this reader to an existing Reverse Mode installation, you must follow the procedure to

program the reader to Reverse Mode Wiegand.

For more information, please refer to:

lReverse mode Wiegand on page19.
