This Quick Start Guide is intended for experienced installing technicians. It is a basic reference to ensure all connections are properly made.
Models include Conekt CSR-35L, CSR-6.2L and CSR-6.4L. For additional information please reference Farpointe Data’s website,

1.0 Introduction
A key component of a physical security electronic access control
system, a mobile-ready reader combining BLE and contactless
smartcard technologies is based on RFID technology. In operation it is
capable of reading data stored on a contactless smartcard credential
via high 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.

4.0 Cable Requirements
24 AWG minimum, multi-conductor stranded with an overall foil shield,
for example Belden 9535 or similar, supporting the five conductors
comprising the physical layer of the Wiegand interface (power, ground,
data 0, data 1, and/or beeper and LED). Alternatively, Belden 9539 or
similar, for all reader functions. Contact your access control system
manufacturer for their specific requirements. Per the SIA’s Wiegand
specification, maximum cable length is 500 feet (152 m).
5.0 Output Formats
• Wiegand (industry standard 26-bit Wiegand
and custom Wiegand formats)
• Magnetic Stripe (ABA Track II, clock and data,
with card present)
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: 60mA typical, 250mA peak
9.0 Read Mode
For sector data reads, do not connect the Violet conductor (leave it
high). For CSN reads, pull the Violet conductor low (connect the Violet
conductor to ground).
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.

CONTACTLESS SMARTCARD READERS
WIRING NOTES:
a
Single Line LED:
This is the standard operating mode and does not make use of the
Orange conductor. The LED is Red when the reader is idle and flashes when a card is
presented. The LED turns Green when the Brown Conductor is pulled low by the access
control panel.
b
Dual Line LED:
This mode makes use of both the Brown and Orange conductors. The
Brown conductor controls the Red LED and the Orange conductor controls the Green
LED. LED states are determined by the access control system option and capability.
c
Read Mode:
In regards to contactless smartcard credentials, the reader will only read
and output the credential’s Card Serial Number (CSN) when the Violet conductor is
pulled low (connected to ground). Otherwise, the reader will only read and output the
credential’s programmed Sector data.
Unused conductors should be trimmed, isolated and taped back to prevent unintended
current flows. Apply positive voltage only to the Red DC Conductor.
