Vicon VAX-D6.4R 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 model VAX-D6.4R-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.

VAX-D6.4R •
*Plastic or metal.
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).

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

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
credential technology is supported
Reader/access panel
not properly grounded
Earth ground needed—verify shield and
reader ground are tied at access panel

Linear power supply recommended,
verify switching power supply before use
