1 Introduction
The VR20M-MFand VR50M-MF are mullion mount card readers with modern security over OSDP and
support for the traditional Wiegand protocol. When installed as part of a secure system, 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 VR50M-MF has a keypad for pin code.

5 Mounting and connecting
The Mullion readers are surface-mounted readers. The units 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 page13.
5.1 Mounting a reader
The surface should be flat to ensure a close fit.
To attach the base to the wall:
1. Make a small hole in the base gasket. 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.
1Tamper base
2Tamper screw
3. 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.
4. Continue to follow the instructions detailed in Connecting the cables on page13.

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 knock outs the cables should be fed through.
3. Use a pliers to pull the knock out 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.

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. Proceed to the instructions for
Connecting the cables on the next page.
Vanderbilt recommends sealing the gap that the knock out creates with a sillicone
sealant. Do this after you have closed the reader. Please note that a reader with a
removed knock out is not IP 55.

5.3 Connecting the cables
5.3.1 Setting the jumpers
There are 3 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
* This indicates the bottom of the reader
5.3.1.1 OSDP
The diagrams below show how to position the jumpers to get the desired functions from the terminal blocks. Note that
the EOL is ON for a sole reader or for the last reader on the RS485 bus.

5.3.1.2 Wiegand
The diagrams below show how to position the jumpers to get the desired functions from the terminal blocks. Note
that in Wiegand mode EOL is not fitted. Wiegand can be set at 26 bit, 32 bit or 56 bit.
5.3.2 Connecting the reader in OSDP mode
Use the terminal block marked +-BA (see number 2 in Package contents on page9 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
+0V
-+12V
BB
AA
2. Insert the ridge on the end of the terminal block marked +,-,B,A into the slot marked +,-,B,A.
3. Gently push the terminal block towards the base until it clicks.
4. Push the cables back.
5. On the reverse of the front plate there is an EOL jumper used for RS485 bus termination (see the

illustration in Setting the jumpers on the previous page). By default the reader has the termination
ON and acts as the last reader on the bus. However, if the reader is an intermediate Connecting the

reader on the bus, the jumper must be removed.
5.3.3 Connecting the reader in Wiegand mode
Use the terminal blocks marked +-BA and R,Y/T,G,H and a pair of twisted screened cables (4 pairs +
screen), such as Belden 9502 to connect the cables 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)) :
Reader Controller
+0V
-+12V
BWiegand D1
AWiegand D0
2. Attach the cables on the LED, tamper,and horn terminal block (R,Y/T,G,H terminal block (upper
terminal block)):
Reader Controller
R Red LED
Y/T* Tamper input
G Green LED
H Horn output
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.
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 EOL jumper (see number 3 in section 6.1 in Connecting the cables on page13). The
EOL jumper is used for RS485 bus termination. By default the reader has the termination ON.
EOL is always off in Wiegand mode.
