Vicon VAX-PCR-35L 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-PCR-35L-OSDP and
VAX-PCR-640L-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 mobile-ready reader combining BLE and proximity
technologies is based on RFID technology. In operation it is capable
of reading data stored on a proximity credential via radio frequency—
or reading data from mobile credential stored in a smartphone’s
wallet app via BLE technology—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.
