DR5000 READER INSTALLATION GUIDE
DR5000 Readers is designed to work with Transact SA3000 Door Access and third- party Access Control
systems that use a Wiegand interface.
DR5000 Readers support contactless cards using Near Field Communications (NFC) compatible technology.
When a contactless card is within range (1.5 inches or less) from the front of the reader, data on the card is
read. Card account numbers are stored as up to 48 ASCII numerical digits on the contactless card.

MOUNTING OPTIONS
Figure 1-3 Figure 1-3 DR5000 Mounting Options
Note: Mounting methods other than those shown have not been evaluated by UL.
Detailed Installation
1For installations without a trim plate, use the mounting plate as a guide to drill mounting holes and cable
route opening in the mounting surface.
If using trim plate without single gang box, use holes and cable opening in trim plate as a guide to drill mounting holes
and cable route opening in mounting surface, Select mounting-hole size based on chosen fastener for the mounting
material. The trim plate is optional and can be ordered separately. The trim plate part number is TRMKT-DR5000.
Note: Use appropriate fasteners for the application (#6 x ¾ flathead sheet metal screws are
included in hardware kit).
2Route cable through opening or to the single gang box, see wiring tables on step 6.
3Install the trim plate if applicable.
• Single gang box, use #6 x ¾" flathead machine screws
• Without single gang box, install trim plate using selected fasteners
• Orientate the trim plate so the slotted hole is located on bottom.
4Install the mounting plate.
• If trim plate is used, install mounting plate as shown in Figure 4 using #6 x ¼" panhead machine screws
• Without trim plate, install mounting plate using #6 x ¾" panhead sheet metal screws or chosen fasteners appropriate for the
mounting surface
5Connect the wires to the terminal blocks. Refer to tables 2 and 3 for wiring connections.

DR5000 READER INSTALLATION GUIDE
403-003-001 Rev A 5
Note: Install in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70, and local
codes. When using third-party equipment, to maintain UL compliance, the readers must be
connected to a UL294 listed access control panel or power supply with an output voltage of 6-24
VDC.
When connecting the DR5000 to the Transact SA3000 Access Control System, typically only TB1 is
installed. The SA3000 Door Controller provides power (VCC and GND). Communication is provided
by connected the RS-485+/RS-485- to the corresponding signals.
Table 1-2: Figure 1-5 TB1 Connections
Table 1-3: Figure 1-6 TB2 Connections
Note: To maintain UL compliance, install only 1 wire in each terminal block opening of the DR5000
Reader. When connecting two DR5000s to a single Door Controller, one of DR5000s must have a
jumper wire connecting pin 3 to pin 4 on terminal block TB2. This identifies the address on the
arbitrated bus. Software detects the jumper and responds to the correct poll messages.
6Plug the terminal block(s) onto the pins of the DR5000 Reader; and the terminal blocks in the proper
locations.
7Place the reader just above the mounting plate, and then slide down to engage the tab into notch on the
back of the reader.

READER CONFIGURATION
DR5000 Readers can interface to Transact SA3032 Access Controllers using a serial RS-485 connection. The
readers are configured the same as the DR4XXXX series and the legacy SE3-CS and SE3-CSPP readers. When
prompted for serial reader(s), select either 1 - SE3-CS/CSPP/RDR100 if only one reader is being installed, or 2 -
SE3-CS/CSPP/RDR100 if two readers are being installed.
DR5000 Readers can interface to 3rd party access control panels using the industry standard Wiegand
interface. Refer to the 3rd party access control documentation for configuration instructions.
Tamper Operation
The SA3032 door controller continually polls the reader over RS-485 interface. If the reader stops responding to
polls, a reader offline condition is detected.
The DR5000 Readers have an optical tamper sensor on the back that senses if the reader is removed from the
mounting surface or trim plate. This tamper condition is reported on the additional TAMPER output signal (TB2-
4).
READER TESTING
DR5000 Readers do not require maintenance. Test the reader monthly to verify operation.
Test the Card Read Range
1Hold a valid card approximately 1.5" parallel to reader face.
2Verify that the Green VALID annunciator turns on.
Test the Card Reader
• Tapping a valid card will turn on the green VALID annunciator
• Tapping an invalid card will turn on the red DENIED annunciator
• If tones are enabled, tapping a valid card will generate a long beep
• If tones are enabled, tapping an invalid card will generate a warble sound
• The key pad, if equipped, should generate a tone after pressing each of the keys
Note: The Transact logo located near the bottom right of the reader illuminates when power is
supplied to the reader.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If mixing DR5000 and DR4xxx readers in a 2 reader configuration connected to a single Door Controller, one of
the readers must always be configured with a jumper. This identifies which reader will answer polls on address
1. The reader choice is arbitrary just as long as only one reader has the jumper.
Power Indicator is off - If the Power indicator behind
the Transact logo remains off when power is
applied:
• Verify that the proper voltage is being supplied (TB1-1 = +V, TB1- 2
= GND)
Red annunciator blinking - DR5000 Readers Red
annunciator flashes (approximately 1 second rate)
when communication is lost with the SA3000 Door
Controller Unit. If the Red annunciator is flashing,
check the following:
• Verify the SA3000 Controller Unit has been properly configured for
Serial Readers. This configuration is made by selecting SE3- CS/
CSPP/RDR100 in the Serial Reader(s) option. Reference the
SA3000 Door Access Control System Installation Guide (DOC#
988) in the Controller Unit Configuration (page 28)
• If two DR5000 Readers are installed and operating in RS-485
mode, verify one reader has TB2-3 jumpered to TB2-4, verify the
wiring between the reader and the Door Controller board in the
SA3000 System
No annunciation after card tap - One annunciator
always turns on after a contactless card is tapped. If
no annunciator turns on, the Reader may have
corrupted software or the card may be damaged or
not programmed.
• Check software integrity, cycle power to the Reader, the annunci-
ators should turn ON and OFF in sequence, along with four beeps,
indicating the Reader has successfully executed its power-up
initialization code
