Introduction
The Gallagher T10 Reader is a smart card proximity reader. It can be installed as either an entry reader
or exit reader. The reader sends information to the Gallagher Controller and acts upon information sent
from the Gallagher Controller. The reader itself does not make any access decisions.
The reader is available in four variants. The card technologies for each variant are shown below.

IMPORTANT: HBUS compatibility
HBUS communications are supported with sites running Gallagher Command Centre vEL7.00 software
(or later).

Gallagher PIV readers connect to the Gallagher Controller 6000 High Spec PIV (C305101) only (referred
to as the Controller). Gallagher PIV readers can only be used with sites running Gallagher Command
Centre vEL7.10 software (or later). Gallagher PIV readers are connected as HBUS Readers only.

voltage at the reader. The power source should be linear or a good quality switched-mode
power supply. The performance of the reader may be affected by a low quality, noisy power
supply.
