Vicon VAX-D3R-OSDP User manual

This Quick Start Guide is intended for experienced installing technicians. It is a basic reference to ensure all connections are properly
made. It is for models VAX-D3R-OSDP and VAX-D6.2R-OSDP Smartcard Readers as well as variants supporting most industry leading card and
tag technologies. For additional information please refer to Vicon's website www.vicon-security.com.
1.0 Introduction
A key component of a physical security electronic access control
system, a contactless smartcard card reader is based on RFID
technology. In operation it is capable of reading data stored on a
proximity credential via radio frequency and without physical contact,
and then passing the data obtained to the physical access control
system. Access control systems typically manage and record the
movement of individuals through a protected area, such as a
locked door.
2.0 Mounting Provisions
Each reader may be installed either indoors or outdoors. Mounting
option is shown in the table below. Use supplied #6 mounting screws,
or equivalent security screws, for installation.

3.0 Cable Requirements
Cable, 4 conductor, 22 or 24 AWG [65 mm or 51 mm] twisted pair,
over-all shield and UL approved (Belden 8273, or equivalent).
Maximum bus length: 4,000 ft – 24 AWG (1,219 m)
Maximum distance between: 1,640 ft – 24 AWG (500 m)
4.0 Reader Wiring

5.0 Output Formats
The SIA standard OSDP protocol is supported for clear and secure
channel communication.
Default Address: 0
Default Baud rate: 9600bps (bits per second)
Default Secure Channel Key:
SCBK_D = 0x303132333435363738393A3B3C3D3E3F.
OSDP Protocol Technical Support:
SIA OSDP Application Profile: Basic Reader (OSDP v2.2 and higher)
6.0 Grounding
Shield (drain) continuity must run from the reader to the access panel.
Shield (drain) and reader ground must be tied together at the access
panel and connect to an earth ground at one point.
7.0 Power
Reader may be powered by the access panel. A linear power supply is
recommended for best operation.
8.0 Voltage and Current
Voltage: 8 to 14 VDC
Current Draw: 135mA typical at 12 VDC
9.0 Read Mode
Reader (OSDP “PD”) operation is controlled by the access panel
(OSDP “ACU”) per the OSDP specification.
10.0 Connection
Connection must be done in accordance with NFPA 70. Do not
connect to a receptacle controlled by a switch. Connect to a power
limited DC voltage source.
11.0 Troubleshooting
1. When the reader is first powered on it will beep 4-times.
2. Presenting a supported access credential will result in the reader
beeping once.
3. OSDP communications with the panel will be established after the
reader has completed its start-up sequence. The panel can query
the reader for status using OSDP commands. Note, at this point,
the access panel controls the reader beeper and LED functionality.
See additional troubleshooting information on reverse side.

If the reader does not recognize the card or tag (no beep, no LED
flash), refer to possibe OSDP communications errors detected at the
access control panel. Please see the table below for additional
possible causes and solutions.
Possible Cause Corrective Action
OSDP misconfiguration,
not configured for OSDP,
secure channel mismatch
Confirm panel is configured for
OSDP. Confirm panel and reader are
both configured for Secure Channel
(or both unencrypted.) Confirm PD
address and speed.
Incorrect cabling Verify gauge, connections and
cabling length. Verify RS-485 OSDP
connections (Tx+/Tx-)
Not enough power 12 VDC recommended, 8 VDC at
reader is minimum
Incorrect card used Verify panel has established OSDP
connection with reader, then verify
if card technology is supported
Reader/access panel not
properly grounded
Earth ground needed—verify shield
and reader ground are tied at access
panel and connect to ground at
one point
Supply generating
interference
Linear power supply recommended,
verify switching power supply
before use
Should any of the corrective actions mentioned above not improve
performance, disconnect the reader from the access panel and power
it with a separate power supply or 9 VDC battery, and re-test card
functionality, with an OSDP panel simulator if necessary. By powering
the readers separately, most variables that may lead to reduced
performance can be eliminated. OSDP issues often require a packet
trace, which the installer or panel vendor should be prepared to
provide if there are problems. Should the problem persist, please
contact Vicon Technical Support.
