Vicon VAX-D403R 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-D403R-OSDP and
VA X- D 405 R- OSDP. For additional information please refer to
Vicon's website vicon-security.com.
1.0 Introduction
A key component of a physical security electronic access control
system, a contactless smartcard 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 options shown in the table below. Use supplied #6
mounting screws, or equivalent security screws, for installation.

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: 135 mA typical at 12 VDC.
9.0 Read Mode
Reader (OSDP "PD") operation is controlled by the access panel
