Cable Requirements:
The
PROX-3
can operate at up to *800 feet (244 m) of cable, using seven-conductor, shielded, stranded cable. Per the Security
Industry Association’s Wiegand specification, AWG 24 (such as Belden 9537) is the minimum gauge required for data transfer in a 500-foot run length.
However, the proper wire gauge to use must be determined by the current draw requirements of the reader, the length of the cable run, and the voltage
applied to the reader. If the reader is to be operated at 5 VDC, 5 VDC must be available at the reader (long cable runs have a voltage drop due to the
resistance in the cable). A larger gauge of wire (having less resistance) or a separate power supply near the reader may be required to ensure 5 VDC is
available at the reader.
Output Formats:
• Wiegand (industry standard 26-bit Wiegand)
• Magnetic Stripe (ABA Track II, clock and data, with card present)
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.
Power:
The
PROX-3
may be powered by the access panel. As such, the reader is powered on when the access panel is powered on. However the best
case is to power the reader by a separate, linear power supply. A 12V DC 500mA power adapter is supplied with the
PROX-3
.
Voltage:
5 to 16 VDC
Note:
For maximum read range, a minimum of 12VDC is recommended.
FleaPowerTM Control Line:
The
PROX-3
can be placed in a special lower power mode by pulling the purple colored fleaPower Control Line low. This
special low power mode reduces the average power required by the reader.
* Note:
When used with a Viking Entry System/Controller, see the Entry System’s Technical Practice for the maximum wire run length.

Our Technical Support Department is available for assistance Monday 8am - 4pm and Tuesday through Friday 8am - 5pm central time. So that we can give you better service, before you call please:
1.
Know the model number, the serial number and what software version you have (see serial label).
2.
Have your Technical Practice in front of you.
3.
It is best if you are on site.
RETURNING PRODUCT FOR EXCHANGE
The following procedure is for equipment that has failed out-of-box (within 10 days of purchase):
1.
Customer must contact Viking’s Technical Support at 715-386-8666 to determine possible causes for the problem. The
customer MUST be able to step through recommended tests for diagnosis.
2.
If the Technical Support Product Specialist determines that the equipment is defective based on the customer's input
and troubleshooting, a Return Authorization (R.A.) number will be issued. This number is valid for fourteen (14)
calendar days from the date of issue.
3.
After obtaining the R.A. number, return the approved equipment to your distributor, referencing the R.A. number. Your
distributor will then replace the product over the counter at no charge. The distributor will then return the product to
Viking using the same R.A. number.
4. The distributor will NOT exchange this product without first obtaining the R.A. number from you. If you haven't
followed the steps listed in 1, 2 and 3, be aware that you will have to pay a restocking charge.
RETURNING PRODUCT FOR REPAIR
The following procedure is for equipment that needs repair:
1.
Customer must contact Viking's Technical Support Department at 715-386-8666 to obtain a Return Authorization (RA)
number. The customer MUST have a complete description of the problem, with all pertinent information regarding the
defect, such as options set, conditions, symptoms, methods to duplicate problem, frequency of failure, etc.
2.
Packing: Return equipment in original box or in proper packing so that damage will not occur while in transit. Static
sensitive equipment such as a circuit board should be in an anti-static bag, sandwiched between foam and individual-
ly boxed. All equipment should be wrapped to avoid packing material lodging in or sticking to the equipment. Include
ALL parts of the equipment. C.O.D. or freight collect shipments cannot be accepted. Ship cartons prepaid to:
Viking Electronics, 1531 Industrial Street, Hudson, WI 54016
3.
Return shipping address: Be sure to include your return shipping address inside the box. We cannot ship to a PO Box.
4.
RA number on carton: In large printing, write the R.A. number on the outside of each carton being returned.

PART 15 LIMITATIONS
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Note 1:
Read range is stated in a clean RF
and electrical environment using Viking
Proxcards presented parallel to the reader
surface with the reader operating at 12 VDC.
Additionally, read range may be affected by
local installation conditions. Range will be
less when mounted to metal.
Note 2:
Use of a linear power supply is
always recommended.
Note 3:
Minimum current draw is obtained by
operating the reader in the fleaPower mode
at 5 VDC with the LED off. Peak current draw
occurs when reading a card or tag.
