Model 950/960 ProximityReader 1IntroductionThis manual is an installation guide for the CASI-RUSCO Models 950 and960 Proximity Perfect™Readers. The Model 950 Reader is intended to bemounted on the surface of a window mullion or door frame, and it isspecially tuned for installation on metal. The Model 960 Reader isintended to be mounted directly on glass and has double-sided indicatorsand a bi-directional read range.Both readers consist of a metal boxed interface unit to be mounted in asecured area and one or two compact read heads that communicate overtotal cable lengths of up to 400 to 500 feet. The interface unit contains thecircuitry that drives any combination of up to two Model 950 or 960 readheads. This performance is based on read heads manufactured afterSeptember 1, 2000.NOTE: For read heads manufactured prior to December, 2000, and mixedheads, refer to the section entitled “Pinouts” beginning on page 15. Thecable length for read heads manufactured prior to December, 2000, remainsat 15 feet.Product FeaturesThe CASI-RUSCO Models 950 and 960 Proximity Perfect Readers offer:• State-of-the-art architecture.• The ability to read all ProxLite, ISO ProxLite, and Entrée badges.• Miniature, unobtrusive read head design.• Badge read range up to 4.3 inches (110 mm) for a Model 950 and 5.5inches (140 mm) for a Model 960.• A maximum of two 950 and 960 read heads may be connected to asingle interface unit, both acting as the same reader.• If two read heads are used, each can be mounted up to 200 feet fromthe interface, for a total of 400 feet of cable between the two heads.• The Model 960 read head mounted on the secured side of a windowcanreadbadgesontheunsecuredside.• DIP switches allow all Models 950 and 960 Readers to operate in oneof four distinct operating modes: Wiegand, F/2F, Supervised F/2F,and Silent Supervised F/2F. Silent Supervised mode is ideal forinstallations where no audible or visual indication of communicationloss with the microcontroller is desired at the reader.• In the unsupervised modes (Wiegand and F/2F), the readercommunicates with the microcontroller over a uni-directionalWiegand or F/2F data link that carries Proximity Perfect badge dataonly.
2 Model 950/960 Proximity Reader• In the Supervised modes (F/2F and Silent F/2F), the readercommunicates with the microcontroller over a bi-directional F/2Fdata link that carries the following:• Proximity Perfect badge data• Supervision messages• Exit request and door contact status• Microcontroller acknowledgments and commands• Intelligent bi-directional communication between the interface unitand microcontroller, which can be accomplished up to 5,500 feet(1676 m) over 22 AWG telephone cable.• The interface unit has an integral beeper along with a provision fordriving an installer-supplied remote +12VDC beeper.• Weatherproof read head (Model 950 only).• Built-in tamper switch on the interface unit with provisions forconnecting additional installer-supplied tamper switches.• The interface unit has a red LED, the read head has one yellow, andone green LED.• Standard 12V operation.• Rugged molded ABS construction with integral backplate.
Model 950/960 ProximityReader 3Switch SettingsTwo banks of four DIP switches located inside the interface unit are usedto select the reader power level, operating mode, and internal beepersound level.CAUTION: Power should be removed from the reader while switch settingsare changed.Selecting Reader Power LevelThe reader’s power requirement is selected using four DIP switches. Theoptimum power level will vary with each installation. Higher powerlevels give improved read range for Proximity Perfect badges; whilelower power levels allow greater cabling distance between the reader andthe microcontroller. A detailed explanation is provided below. Thereader’s power requirements are unaffected by the connection ofa secondread head to the interface unit. The figure on the next page shows thelocation of the DIP switches. The tables that follow give the switchsettings, read ranges, and cabling distances.Explanation of Read Range/Cable Distance/Power Level:Maximum badge read range is determined by the distance at which thefield transmitted by the reader is just strong enough to wake up thebadge. Therefore, the higher the reader’s transmission power, the greaterthe badge read range will be. The trade-off for increased read range is adecrease in the maximum cabling distance between the reader and themicrocontroller. The trade-off between read range and cabling distance iscommon to all proximity badge readers. The power selection switches onthe Models 950 and 960 Readers allow the optimum power setting to beselected to suit individual installations.For example: On the high power setting, giving the greatest badge readrange, the reader typically requires 200mA of supply current from themicrocontroller. If there is 1,000 feet of 22 AWG cable between the readerand the microcontroller, the total reader power and power return path is2,000 feet. Since 22 AWG cable has a typical resistance of 16 ohms per1,000 feet, the total resistance in the reader’s power and power returnwire is 32 ohms. By Ohms Law (V=IR), it follows that the total voltagedropped in the reader power and power return wires will be 6.4V(6.4V = 200mA x 32 ohms). Therefore, the reader supply voltage willdropfrom 12V at the microcontroller to 5.6V (12V - 6.4V) at the reader. Such asupply voltage is too low for the reader to function reliably.
4 Model 950/960 Proximity ReaderIf the low power setting is selected, the badge read range is reduced.However, the reader now typically requires only 75mA of supply current;therefore, the voltage drop in the power and power return wires is muchless. In this case, the reader supply voltage will only be reduced to 9.6V,high enough for reliable operation.Figure 1: Interface Unit - Printed Circuit Board
Model 950/960 ProximityReader 5CAUTION: Power should be removed from the reader while switch settingsare changed.The table below gives the switch settings for the three power levels.The table below gives the read ranges for each of the readers based on thepower level settings and whether one or two read heads are connected tothe interface unit. If a Model 950 and 960 read head are connected to thesame interface unit, refer to the read ranges in the Dual 950 and Dual 960columns. All read ranges are typical maximums, measured with up to 20feet cable length between interface unit and read head.in = inchesmm = millimetersNOTE: The above distances are typically valid up to 100 feet betweeninterface and read head. Beyond 100 feet, the range decreases to "almostcontact" at 500 feet.TABLE 1: Power Level Switch SettingsPowerLevel Switch 1 Switch 2 Switch 3 Switch 4LOW OFF ON ON OFFMEDIUM ON OFF OFF ONHIGH ON ON ON ONTABLE 2: Read Range by Model NumberPowerLevel Single 950 Dual 950 Single 960 Dual 960LOW 2.8 in70 mm 2.4 in60 mm 3.1 in80 mm 2.8 in70 mmMEDIUM 3.5 in90 mm 3.1 in80 mm 4.7 in120 mm 4.3 in110 mmHIGH 4.3 in110 mm 3.5 in90 mm 5.5 in140 mm 4.7 in120 mm

8 Model 950/960 Proximity ReaderMounting the Interface UnitThe interface unit should be mounted in a sheltered, secured location,such as above a ceiling. If one read head is used, it can be mounted 500feet from the interface unit. If two read heads are used, each can bemounted up to 200 feet from the interface, for a total of 400 feet betweenthe two heads. The cable that comes attached to the read head can beshortened to less than 20 feet, or can be extended with Belden 9536,6-conductor #24 AWG shielded, or equivalent type cable, to a maximumof 500 feet. The read range varies from the typical numbers with distance.At 500 feet cable distance to read head, the range reduces to “almostcontact.”Figure 2: Mounting the Interface Unit
Model 950/960 ProximityReader 9Mounting the 950 Read HeadThe Model 950 read heads are designed to be mounted on the surface of adoor frame or window mullion using the two security screws provided.CAUTION: Readers should not be mounted within 3 feet (1 meter) of acomputer terminal. Some terminals radiate electrical noise that may reducethe maximum read range.Once the reader is attached to the mullion, place the self-adhesive lexanlabel on the front of the reader to cover the screw heads, and diffuse theLEDs.Figure 3: Model 950 Reader - Mullion Mount
10 Model 950/960 Proximity ReaderMounting the 960 Read HeadThe Model 960 double-sided read heads are designed to be mounteddirectly onto a glass surface such as a window. Read heads can bemounted on any of the following types of glass surfaces without causingsignificant reduction in read range.•Clear•Tinted•Reflective• Glass tinting filmsNOTE: Read range may be significantly reduced when the read heads aremounted on certain types of highly reflective or reinforced glass.CASI-RUSCO cannot guarantee that a specific glass, coating, or film will notcause a significant reduction in read range. CASI-RUSCO will test any glasstype if a sample is supplied by the customer.Thereadheadshouldbepositionedatleast6inches(150mm)fromlargemetal objects, such as metal doors or window mullions.CAUTION: Readers should not be mounted within 3 feet (1 meter) of acomputer terminal. Some terminals radiate electrical noise that may reducethe effective maximum read range.Follow the steps below.1. Decide where to mount the read head, and determine the directionthat the interface cable should exit.2. Remove the selected “break-out” slot with a pair of needle-nosepliers.3. Screw the two halves of the read head together while ensuring thatthe interface cable exits through the open “break-out slot.”4. Be sure the glass surface is perfectly clean, grease free, and dry toensure reliable read head adhesion. Remove the backing film,accurately position the read head, and press it firmly against theglass. Maximum adhesive strength is attained after 24 hours.5. Route the interface cable to the interface unit carefully so that you donot pull the read head off the glass.6. Place the self-adhesive lexan label on the front of the reader to coverthe screw heads, and diffuse the LEDs.

16 Model 950/960 Proximity ReaderCAUTION: The read heads have improved performance over read headsmanufactured before December, 2000. Therefore, if the read head is to beused as a second read head or as a replacement in a two-head application,the following precautions for wiring changes must be observed.To determine if read head was manufactured before December, 2000, oneof the following conditions will exist:• Read head part number label reads, REV. A.• If the read-head cable at the interface has a shrink wrap label with thetext, DO NOT EXTEND OR CUT.• If there is an existing second read head, the connections are reversedat the connector (Red on 4 and Green on 3).• If both read heads fail to work when the new read head is installed.IfONEreadheadisnewandonereadheadisold,thenconnectusingtheappropriate New Wiring configuration, as shown in Figure 7, Read HeadCable Pinouts.If BOTH read heads are new, then connect using the appropriate NewWiring configuration without the diode, as shown in Figure 7, Read HeadCable Pinouts.The diode is included in this package and has the orientation shownbelow:The diode is to be inserted between the RED lead from the read head andTerminal 3 on the interface. If you cannot determine the version of theexisting read head, the diode can be installed between the RED lead andTerminal 3, in either version without detriment.

24 Model 950/960 Proximity ReaderTesting the ReaderFollow the steps below to verify that the reader is working correctly.1. Check all cabling and electrical connections from the read head(s) tothe interface unit and the interface unit to the microcontroller. Referto the wiring diagrams.2. Verify that the microcontroller is properly configured. Refer to theappropriate CASI-RUSCO microcontroller manual.3. Verify that the interface unit switches are properly set for the powersetting, cabling type, distance, and desired mode of operation. See“Switch Settings” on page 3.4. Apply power to the reader, andverify that theyellow LED at the readhead(s) is on. You may want to use a multimeter to test the voltage atthe interface unit TB1 using ground (position 2) as a reference. Power(position 1), data lines (positions 6 & 7), and door DO (position 4)should all read approximately 12V.5. Check that the proper version of firmware is installed in themicrocontroller. Refer to the appropriate microcontroller manual.6. Close the tamper switch by closing the interface unit door. When allwires are connected to the reader, ensure that the supervisionfunction is operating properly (if a supervised mode is selected) byverifying that the reader is not sounding a short, triple beep every30 seconds and the red LED is not flashing slowly (every 2 seconds).You must press the tamper switch in order to check the red LED sinceit will turn on as soon as you open the interface unit door. If an alarmis present, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide.NOTE: In silent supervised mode, no indication of loss of supervision isprovided, except badges will not be read.7. Select a known good Proximity Perfect, ProxLite, ISO ProxLite, orEntrée test badge. Be sure the badge is properly entered in the hostsystem,andthemicrobadgedataformatmatchesthereader.8. Check that the door is secure. Present the badge to the reader.Observe that the interface unit beeps briefly, and the yellow LED onthe read head blinks off.9. Observe that the green LED turns on indicating a valid access hasbeen granted by the host.10. Open the door. This verifies that the door strike operates correctly.
Model 950/960 ProximityReader 25Troubleshooting GuideIf the operation of a component is in doubt, substitute a known goodcomponent and retry the system. Always verify wiring against wiringdiagrams before powering up the system.This section of the manual is split into three sections. The first isapplicable to all installations, the second provides additional diagnosisfor unsupervised readers, and the final section provides additionaldiagnosis for supervised readers.NOTE: When you open the interface unit door to check the red LED, be sureto press the tamper switch to temporarily bypass the tamper alarm.Remember that opening the door causes a tamper condition which turns onthe red LED.All InstallationsAll LEDs are on, and the beeper is on (if enabled):Usually,anindication that the reader’s voltage is too low. This may be caused byhaving the wrong reader voltage selected at the microcontroller or toolong a cable between the reader and the microcontroller.1. Measure the reader supply voltage at the microcontroller. It shouldread between 12 and 15VDC. If the voltage is correct, continue tostep 2 below. If the voltage is incorrect, refer to the appropriatemicrocontroller manual and correct the voltage.2. Set the reader to low power mode if the cable distance is too long (SeeTable 1, “Power Level Switch Settings,” on page 5). This may correctthe problem.3. If the problem is still present, while in low power mode, measure thevoltage between TB1 position 1 (power) and TB1 position 2 (ground)on the interface unit. This voltage should be greater than 8VDC andless than or equal to the reader supply voltage. If the voltage is toolow, correct the wiring. If the voltage is correct, replace the reader.None of the LEDs are on: Check that the beeper is enabled(See Table 5, “Beeper Sound Level DIP Switch Settings,” on page 7), thenpresent a known good Proximity Perfect, ProxLite, ISO ProxLite, orEntrée testbadge tothe reader while listening for the beeper. If the beepersounds, the reader is faulty and shouldbe replaced. If the beeper does notsound, check the power connections to the reader and check the readersupply voltage at TB1 position 1 on the interface unit.The green LED is always on: The green LED indicates that the doorstrike is open. It is controlled by the input on TB1 position 4.
26 Model 950/960 Proximity Reader1. Disconnect the wire on TB1 position 4 on the interface unit. If thegreen LED stays on, the reader is faulty and should be replaced. If thegreen LED goes off, then the problem is most likely not in the reader.2. ReconnectthewireonTB1position4andmeasurethevoltageatTB1position 4. Low voltage turns on the green LED. If the voltage is low,check to see if the host system is turning on the door strike.The beeper doesn’t sound, and the yellow LED doesn’t blinkwhen a badge ispresented to the reader OR the badge read rangeis very poor: When the beeper sounds and the yellow LED blinks off, itindicates that a badge has been read and its data sent to themicrocontroller.NOTE: The interface unit beeper will not sound if it has been disabled (SeeTable 5, “Beeper Sound Level DIP Switch Settings,” on page 7).1. Verify that the read heads are correctly wired as shown in “ReadHead Cable Pinouts” on page 17.2. Check that the Model 960 Reader is not mounted on or within 6inches of a large metal object, such as a metal door or windowmullion.3. Check the reader supply voltage onTB1 position 1 at the interfaceunit.4. Check that the reader is not mounted within 3 feet (1 meter) of acomputer terminal or within 10 inches (250 mm) of another ProximityPerfect reader. The only exception to the 10-inch limit is for 950 readheads mounted back-to-back on a mullion.5. Present a Proximity Perfect test badge (known to be working) to theread head. If the beeper and yellow LED still fail to indicate a validbadge read and send, replace the reader with a reader that you knowis working correctly. If this corrects the problem, the original readeris faulty and should be replaced. If this does not correct the problem,the badge is probably defective.The door does not open, and the green LED does not turn onwhen a badge is presented:1. Verify that the badge and reader are properly entered into thesystem.2. Verify that the door strike and the green LED are wired correctly.SincethegreenLEDandthedoorstrikeareseparateindicators,thisproblem is not an indication of a defective reader.
Model 950/960 ProximityReader 27The green LED does not turn on, but the door strike unlocks thedoor when a valid badge is presented:1. Verify that the door DO is wired correctly. Refer to the appropriatewiring diagram.2. Disconnect the wire from TB1 position 4 on the interface unit andconnect TB1 position 4 to ground, TB1 position 2. If the green LED isnow on, the reader is good, and the connection to the reader isdefective. If the green LED does not turn on, replace the reader.The green LED turns on, but the door does not open: Verify correctdoor strike wiring and operation. The reader is functioning properly.Unsupervised Modes OnlyBeeper sounds a short, triple beep every 30 seconds, and the redLED is on: Indicates a tamper violation. Verify that the interface unitdoor is closed or the interface unit tamper switch is temporarily pressed.If it is either, verify that any additional installer-supplied tamperswitch(es) are wired correctly. Refer to the appropriate wiring diagram.Supervised Modes OnlyReader sounds a short, triple beep every 30 seconds, and the redLED flashes every two seconds: The reader has lost communicationwith the microcontroller.NOTE: When you open the interface unit door to check the red LED, be sureto press the tamper switch to temporarily bypass the tamper alarm.Remember that opening the door causes a tamper condition which causesthe red LED to flash.1. Check the reader-to-microcontroller wiring. Refer to the appropriateinstallation drawing. Verify that the AUX DO is jumpered to theREADER DATA 1 at the microcontroller.2. Verify that the correct pull-up resistor is installed on themicrocontroller. See Figure 8: Wiring Diagram, Model 950/960 -Supervised F/2F Mode on page 18.3. Verify that the microcontroller has the correct firmware for asupervised reader. Refer to the manual that came with yourmicrocontroller for instructions.
28 Model 950/960 Proximity Reader4. Try the reader on a different reader input of the microcontroller. Ifthis corrects the problem, then the microcontroller is probablycausing the problem.5. Replace the reader with one you know is working correctly. If thiscorrects the problem, then the reader is probably faulty and shouldbe replaced.6. If none of the above steps has identified the problem, there may be asignificant noise source present in the installation which is interferingwith the reader-to-microcontroller communications. If this is the case,use shielded wire for reader-to-microcontroller connections.The green LED flashes fast (every 400ms): Indicates that themicrocontroller has requested a PIN entry. Check the readerconfiguration on your system to be sure a keypad reader was notselected.The beeper sounds, and the yellow LED blinks off more thanonce when a valid badge is presented: The beeper sounds, andthe yellow LED blinks off every time badge data is sent to themicrocontroller. When a badge is presented to the read head, data istransmitted from the badge to the reader. The reader interprets andchecks the data received to make sure it has not been corrupted.The reader then sends the data to the microcontroller and waitsapproximately 1/3 of a second for the microcontroller to acknowledgereceipt. If no acknowledgment is received during this time, the readerresends the data causing the beeper to sound again and the LED to blinkoff. After the third unacknowledged attempt, the reader stops tryingand indicates a communications error. This feature is useful introubleshooting marginal installations where a high level of electricalnoise may cause the reader to make multiple attempts atcommunications.1. If multiple beeps occur regularly, refer to the installation drawingsto verify that the correct pull-up resistor has been added to themicrocontroller.2. Replace the reader with one you know is working correctly. If thissolves the problem, the original reader is probably faulty and shouldbe replaced. If the problem persists, use shielded cable between themicrocontroller and the reader.
Model 950/960 ProximityReader 29The reader sounds a short triple beep every 30 seconds, and thered LED flashes quickly (every 400ms): Indicates a tamper violation.Verify that the interface unit door is closed or the interface unit tamperswitch is temporarily pressed. If it is, verify that any additional installer-supplied tamper switch(es) are wired correctly. Refer to the appropriatewiring diagram.The beeper and/or red LED are always on: The microcontroller maycommand the reader to turn on the red LED and the beeper as long as thereader DIP switches are not set to disable the beeper. If the door statusswitch input (TB1 position 10) is not tied to ground, the reader informsthe system that the door is open. The system may then activate the alarmat the reader.If thisis not the problem,then the system software probablytold the reader to activate its alarm. Refer to the appropriate systemmanual for conditions that cause the software to activate the alarm. If itappears that no such system command is active, replace the reader withone you know works correctly. If this solves the problem, the originalreader is faulty and should be replaced.

See Table 2, “Read Range by ModelNumber,” on page 5.
Model 950/960 ProximityReader 31Maximum Cabling Distance: The maximum cable distance betweenthe interface unit and the microcontroller is influenced by a number offactors including wire gauge and reader power level setting. See Table 3,“Cabling Distances,” on page 6.NOTE: The reader will work well with unshielded cable in mostenvironments. No company, including CASI-RUSCO, can guarantee thatdata will be reliably transmitted over long distances on unshielded cable inevery installation.Power Supply: Nominal 12VDC, 75mA, 150mA, or 200mA, dependingon the power setting selected. See Table 1,“Power Level Switch Settings,”on page 5. The power requirements are not significantly affected by theconnection of a second read head to the interface unit.Color: Light Gray and BlackConnection: The interface unit has a 14-position terminal block forconnection to the field wiring. Two 8-position terminal blocks provideconnection points for two read heads.
32 Model 950/960 Proximity ReaderFunctional SpecificationsProduct Operation: The reader transmits a wake-up field extending allaround the read head. When a badge is presented, energy from the fieldpowers the electronics inside the badge allowing it to transmit its uniquedata to the reader. The read head receives, interprets, and checks the data,sending only uncorrupted badge data to the microcontroller. Due to thenature of the wake-up field, the maximum read range will be realizedonly if the badge is presented to the read head on an imaginary semi-circle centered on the read head, as shown below. Since two read headscanbe connected to a single interface unit,it is possible for badges to be inthe wake-up field of both read heads at the same time. In this case, thedata from one badge may interfere with the data from the other badgecausing neither badge to be read. Although the reader will read and sendanother badge’s data immediately, the risk of multiple badge reads isreduced by a two-second same badge send delay.In the supervised modes, the reader also monitors and reports the statusof a normally closed door contact switch and a normally open exitrequestpush button.Figure 11: Badge to Reader Presentation
Model 950/960 ProximityReader 33Application: Intended for areas requiring high levels of security forcontrolled access.Compatibility: Interfaces to all CASI-RUSCO systems as well as manyother systems.Reader Technology Types: CASI-RUSCO Proximity Perfect Read/Write technology and CASI-RUSCO ProxLite Read Only technology.Badge Formats: CASI-RUSCO Proximity Perfect badges encoded with2801, 2804, 3201, or 40-bit data formats; or CASI-RUSCO ProxLite, ISOProxLite, and Entrée badges.Mounting: The Model 950 mullion mount reader is attached to thesurface of the mullion by two security screws. The Model 960 windowmount reader is attached directly to the inside of the window by a filmadhesive covering the flat side of the reader.Indicators: Red, yellow, and green LEDs and a beeper are incorporatedinto the reader. The yellow and green LEDs are mounted on the readhead (both sides of the 960); while the red LED and the internal beeperare mounted inside the interface unit. The interface unit includes drivecircuitry for an optional installer-supplied remote beeper.•Red LED: Turns on continuously to indicate a tamper in theWiegand and F/2F modes. In the supervised modes, the red LEDflashes rapidly (every 400ms) to indicate a tamper condition.If communications with the microcontroller are lost while in thesupervised modes, the red LED flashes slowly (once every 2 seconds).In both supervised modes, the red LED may also be turned on and offby the microcontroller to indicate an alarm state. Consult theappropriate system manual for details on this operation.•Yellow LED: Normally on when power is applied to the reader.Blinks off briefly to indicate that a badge has been read and sent tothe microcontroller.•Green LED: Normally indicates that the microcontroller hasactivated the door strike.•Beeper: In both supervised modes, the beeper may be sounded bythe microcontroller to indicate an alarm state. Consult theappropriate system manual for details on this operation. The beepersounds briefly to indicate that a valid badge has been read and sent tothe microcontroller. A short, triple beep sounds every 30 seconds toindicate a reader tamper. In the normal supervised mode, a short,triple beep every 30 seconds also indicates a disruption incommunications with the microcontroller.
34 Model 950/960 Proximity ReaderAn external device can be connected to all LEDs and the beeper at the14-position terminal block TB1 inside the interface unit. In this case,the LEDs and beeper can be driven by the reader or the externaldevice. Driving the appropriate TB1 position to a low voltageactivates the indicator. This low voltage can be sensedby the externaldevice even when the indicator is driven by the reader.Supervised F/2F Mode Operation: In the supervised modes, thereader sends badge data or reader status data to the microcontrollerapproximately once every second and waits for an acknowledgment fromthe microcontroller. The reader continues sending the data every seconduntil an acknowledgment is received. If an acknowledgment is notreceived after the third attempt, the reader stops reading badges, the redLED starts flashing slowly (every 2 seconds), and a short, triple beepsounds every 30 seconds, unless silent supervised mode is selected. Oncethe reader receives an acknowledgment, it begins reading badges again,the beeper stops sounding, and the red LED stops flashing.Badge Read Operation: Each time the reader sends badge data, theyellow LED blinks off briefly, and the beeper sounds.Reader Tamper Operation: The Model 950/960 Readers incorporate atamper switch inside the interface unit. An additional installer-suppliedtamper switch may also be connected to TB1. While the door on the inter-face unit is open, all badge reading functions are disabled; and a tampercondition is indicated by a triple beep every 30 seconds. In the Wiegandand F/2F modes, the red LED stays on continuously during a tampercondition (this can be sensed by a low voltage on TB1 position 3). In bothsupervised modes, the red LED flashes fast (every 400 ms) and allcommunications with the microcontroller are suspended, taking thereader offline.Door Contact and Exit Request Inputs: The Models 950 and 960Readers have a normally closed door contact switch input and a normallyopen exit request switch input on TB1. In the supervised modes, the stateof both switch inputs is periodically reported to the microcontroller, butchanges to switch inputs are reported immediately. In the Wiegand andF/2F modes, these switch inputs have no function.
