06/05/03 330413.DOC REV. A II FCC Compliance: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Canadian Compliance: Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. UL: The reader is intended to be powered from a limited power source output of a previously certified power supply. CE Compliance: Hereby, Indala, declares that this proximity reader is in compliance with essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC. Notice: The CX-8525 reader requires the use of linear, series pass, regulated power supplies. Use of other types of power supply can result in reduced read range. The use of switching power supplies is not recommended. Do not use the reader's power supply for other equipment, particularly when operating switched inductive loads such as motor control relays and solenoids (i.e., magnetic locks, latch or strike). Doing so will affect the reader operation. Use a separate dedicated power supply for Indala proximity readers. Because this technology is based on radio frequency and because nearby environmental sources of electrical interference may affect the performance of the reader, below is a list of precautions that should be considered when installing or wiring the reader: • Metal affects radio signals. Do not cover the face of the reader with metal of any kind. • Reduce or eliminate unwanted signals from external sources. • Do not place the reader wiring bundled in conduit with AC power cables, lock power, or signal wiring. Where possible. • Maintain all reader wiring a minimum distance of 12" (30 cm) away from other wiring such as AC power, computer data wiring, telephone wiring, or wiring to electric locking devices, etc. • Avoid installing the reader in areas where sources of broad spectrum EMI noise may be present. Examples of EMI broad spectrum noise producers are motors, pumps, generators, AC-DC converters, uninterruptible power supplies, AC switching relays, light dimmers, computer monitors, and CRTs • Do not install the reader within 3.5' (1.1 m) of computer

06/05/03 330413.DOC REV. A - 2 - _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 2.0 Introduction _____________________________________________________________________________________________ The CX-8525 reader is a modular, miniaturized and rugged low power radio frequency reader designed for applications where Magnetic Stripe F/2F output is required. The CX-8525 reader mounts on a USA standard single electrical gang box or on any flat surface. Reader to host cable, Request to Exit, Door Switch, and LED monitoring is available in Supervised and Silent supervised modes. The CX-8525 reader also includes an internal tamper switch for extra security. Control lines are provided for host control of all three LEDs and he beeper. 2.1 Features • Immediate audio and visual conformation of card read, host control not necessary. • Independently controlled audio tone. • Three LED indicators. (Red, Green, Amber) • Switch selectable output formats: o 12 digits for legacy systems or 10 digits for current systems. o 26 Bit Wiegand o Supervised Magnetic Stripe F/2F o Silent Supervised Magnetic Stripe F/2F • Internal Tamper Switch • Mounting on USA standard single gang electrical box or on any flat surface. • Indoor/outdoor operation. • Attractive, contemporary styling. 2.2 Theory of Operation When the reader is powered, a low-power radio frequency (RF) field is continuously transmitted by the Reader (see Figure 1). When a card is presented within the field of the reader, the microchip, embedded in the card, is activated and transmits a unique identification (ID) number back to the CX-8525 reader. The reader decodes and converts this data to the pre-determined Wiegand, or Magnetic Stripe F/2F output format and sends this code to an external controller through a data cable. With this information, the controller determines what action is to be taken as a response to the card presentation. In Supervised Mode the reader sends a message to the host that contains the status of the Door Switch, Green LED, Request to Exit, and beeper while monitoring the data line for host acknowledgement of message received. During Supervised and Silent Supervised operation, loss of connection with the controller will cause the reader to enter Degraded Mode. Entering Degraded Mode with the reader in Supervised Mode will cause the red LED to flash every two seconds and the Beeper to sound every thirty seconds. Entering Degraded Mode while in Silent Supervised Mode will cause the reader to not respond to card presentation and show no signs that the system has been degraded.
06/05/03 330413.DOC REV. A - 3 - 2.3 Unpacking and Identifying Supplied Parts Unpack the equipment and become familiar with the components. The following list describes the contents of the package. Package Contents: CX-8525 Reader Connector pigtail Exterior mounting gasket Installation guide _________________________________________________________________________________________ 3.0 Installation _________________________________________________________________________________ 3.1 Mechanical Installation 3.1.1 Gang Box Mounting (Preferred mounting Configuration) The CX-8525 is designed to operate on a single USA gang box. If mounting directly on a metal surface other than a gang box, insert a minimum 3/8” non-conductive spacer between the reader and the metal to prevent interference. 3.1.2 Wall Mounting To mount the CX-8525 to a wall, drill a 0.375 hole for the reader cable. Feed the cable through the hole. Place the reader against the wall and mark the location for the mounting holes. Drill the proper size mounting holes (for 6-32 screws) at the marked location. Using 6-32 screws attach the reader back plate to the wall. Assemble the reader onto the back plate and install the security screw. 3.2 Electrical Installation 3.2.1 Reader Switch Settings The CX-8525 reader has several output modes that can be set via the four position switch located on the back of the reader under the back plate. The following table lists the valid switch settings for each reader configuration.

Voltage drops, caused by the cable resistance, can be made up by increasing the power supply voltage. DO NOT SET THE POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGE TO HIGHER THAN 14 VDC! Refer to the table below to determine the recommended wiring type at various maximum distances. Because of system data termination differences, contact your system manufacturer for its exact requirements. Installation should be in accordance with National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70. Cable Type Maximum Cable Length 24 AWG (0.60 mm), ten conductor, with an overall foil shield, Belden 9540 or equivalent 500′ (152 m) 22 AWG (0.80 mm), ten conductor, with an overall foil shield, Alpha 1299/10C or equivalent 500′ (152 m)
06/05/03 330413.DOC REV. A - 5 - 3.2.3 Earth Grounding Connect the Power Supply and Controller directly to an earth ground. An earth ground can be established by driving a copper clad ground rod into the earth. Make certain the DC resistance between your established earth ground and the system ground is 50 Ohms or less. 3.2.4 Reader to Host Interface Wiring The following table lists the connector to host wiring. Connector Pin Description Pigtail Wire Color 1 +12 VDC RED 2 GROUND BLACK 3 RED LED CONTROL CLUE 4 GREEN LED CONTROL BROWN 5 YELLOW LED CONTROL ORANGE 6 DATA 0 GREEN 7 DATA 1 / F/2F WHITE 8 BEEPER CONTROL VIOLET 9 KEYING PIN 10 DOOR DIGITAL INPUT YELLOW 11 REX DIGIAL INPUT GRAY _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 4.0 Operation _____________________________________________________________________________________ When power is first applied to the reader, it will flash the red, amber, and green LEDs and sound the beeper once. 4.1 Presenting the Credential To obtain maximum read range, present the card to the reader keeping the credential parallel to the reader, move it slowly toward the face of the reader until a read confirmation is obtained. This is the point at which the credential is read and the data is transmitted to the controller. To read the credential again, remove it from the antenna field and present it again. During normal use, the credential can be presented to the antenna at any angle, although this will result in a reduced read range.
