ENGLISH – PR500 Card Reader

Description
This document is valid for both the Siemens and
Bewator branded products.
PR500 is a proximity card reader for connection to
SiPass/Bewator Entro, Bewator Omnis 2010, DC800
or SiPass integrated. The PR500 is for both indoor
and outdoor mounting. The reader is compatible
with both active and passive Entro cards and tags.
Note! Different cards/tags are used for PR500-
Cotag and PR500-EM respectively.
The PR500 proximity reader reads cards or tags
without them being in contact with the reader. The
reader continuously transmits a low power radio
frequency. When a card or tag is presented within
the field of the reader it activates and transmits a
unique identification number back to the reader. The
reader then sends this code to the connected control
unit in SiPass/Bewator Entro, Bewator Omnis 2010,
DC800 or SiPass integrated.

1) The PR500 is designed to be operated by 12V unregulated
power supplies, or 24V battery-backed power supplies.
Operating voltage range is 10.6 to 32.0V. The upper voltage
is intended to be compatible with the charging of 24V lead-
acid batteries. Charge methods vary, and may be
temperature dependent. 32V max is intended to be
compatible with commonly used charging methods. If the
upper operating voltage is exceeded then permanent damage
may be caused. Installers and systems designers should
check the max power supply voltage under all conditions. Do
not operate the PR500 using unregulated 24V supplies. The
PR500 current consumption can be significantly less than 100
mA. The unloaded peak voltage from a nominal 24V
unregulated supply will exceed the absolute max
2) The Read range is stated in an undisturbed electrical
environment, and that the reader is installed in accordance
with Siemens AB instructions, with the card (IB928 or IB968)
presented parallel to the reader.
Mounting and Mechanical
Installation
The reader can be mounted on all types of materials;
it can be mounted behind glass or can even be flush
mounted. The only limit is that the reader may not be
completely surrounded by metal, if the reader is to
be flush mounted then the distance to surrounded
metal should be at least 3 cm, no metal should be
directly in front of the reader. When flush mounting
the reader, the maximum read range would reduce.
Note!
Avoid mounting the reader near sources of
electrical noise, such as motors, generators, pumps,
computer installations and mains cabling.
If there is too much electrical noise in the reading
area the amber LED flashes.
The reader is supplied with the cover separate. If the
cover has been fitted, remove it by pushing in the lug
on its lower edge using a suitable screwdriver. At the
bottom of the reader there is a knockout to facilitate
cable entry if required.
Mount the reader at a height of 1000 - 1200 mm
(from the floor to the bottom edge of the reader).
After installation, fit the top cover by locating its lugs
at the top, pushing the bottom of the cover until it
snaps into place.
For outdoor mounting, we recommend that the
terminals should be covered with a suitable
compound, for example silicone grease.
All other information regarding installation and
programming can be found in the manual supplied
with the control unit.
Connection
Connecting the PR500 to
SiPass/Bewator Entro door central
DC22, DC12 - or DC800
Use a screened multicore cable (i.e. Belden
9534/9535/9538) for connection between the reader
unit and the door central. Maximum cable distance is
50 metres.
See Illustration 2 on page 6.
Note!
For
SiPass/Bewator Entro
: connect to the
BCLINK terminal block. Set the link
J4
in the
door central to
+V = Vin
.
For
DC800
: Set jumper
J1
to
Vin
and jumper
J4
to
BCLINK
.
The power to the door central will then also be fed to
the reader.
When the PR500 is powered for the first time, the
green and red LEDs light for 4 seconds. Then an
Auto detect procedure starts for approx. 60 seconds
where the three LEDs are lit (to configure for
BCLINK protocol). It is important that cards or tags
are not presented to the reader until this Auto detect
procedure is completed. Once completed, the LEDs
will turn off, a sound is heard and the reader is now
ready for use. The readers LEDs are controlled
exclusively by the host system.
Connecting both Entry and Exit
readers (BCLINK)
If both Entry and Exit readers are to be used, the
Exit reader must be set to an exit function. This is
done with a link between terminal blocks
HRN-Adr
and
DA
in the PR500 (before power-up). The
initialising process will then be the same as above.
See Illustration 3on page 6.
Connecting the reader PR500 to
Bewator Omnis 2010 E2V
The drawing shows how the PR500 connects to the
Bewator Omnis 2010 system where the node E2V is
used. The power supply for the PR500 is connected
to the E2V:s incoming power supply input.
M24V
. Note that the incoming 0V also
have to be connected to internal minus (on terminal
block).
Note that due to current limitations, no connections
are made to the +12V power supply output terminals
found within in the E2V. The readers LEDs are
controlled exclusively by the host system.
See Illustration 4 on page 6
Connecting the PR500 to SiPass
integrated ADD5100
The drawing shows how the PR500 connects to the
SiPass integrated system where the ADD5100 (DRI)
is used.
See Illustration 5 on page 7.
