This Quick Start Guide is intended for experienced installing technicians. It is a basic reference to ensure all connections are properly
made. Models include Delta3-OSDP, Delta5-OSDP, Delta5.3-OSDP, Delta6.2-OSDP, Delta6.4-OSDP, Delta403-OSDP, Delta405-OSDP,
Delta410-OSDP, as well as variants supporting most industry leading card and tag technologies. For additional information please reference

1.0 Introduction
A key component of a physical security electronic access control
system, a contactless smartcard card 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. Delta 400 Series
readers are supplied with #6 tamperproof screws.

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).
Maximum bus length: 4,000 ft – 24 AWG (1,219 m)

5.0 Output Formats
The SIA standard OSDP protocol is supported for clear and secure
channel communication.
Default Address: 0
Default Baud rate: 9600bps (bits per second)
Default Secure Channel Key:
SCBK_D = 0x303132333435363738393A3B3C3D3E3F.
OSDP Protocol Technical Support:
SIA OSDP Application Profile: Basic Reader (OSDP v2.2 and higher)
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
(OSDP “ACU”) per the OSDP specification.
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.
11.0 Troubleshooting
1. When the reader is first powered on it will beep 4-times.
2. Presenting a supported access credential will result in the reader
beeping once.
3. OSDP communications with the panel will be established after the
reader has completed its start-up sequence. The panel can query
the reader for status using OSDP commands. Note, at this point,
the access panel controls the reader beeper and LED functionality.
See additional troubleshooting information on reverse.
