1 Introducon
The Gallagher T15 Reader is a smart card proximity reader. It can be installed as either an entry reader
or exit reader. The reader contains an NXP chip for improved read range performance and supports
Bluetooth® technology for hands-free access.
The reader sends informaon to the Gallagher Controller and acts upon informaon sent from the
Gallagher Controller. The reader itself does not make any access decisions.
The reader is available in eight variants. The card technologies for each variant are shown below.

The reader can be connected as an HBUS Reader or Cardax IV Reader. An HBUS Reader uses the HBUS
communicaons protocol to communicate with the Gallagher Controller 6000. A Cardax IV Reader uses
the Cardax IV communicaons protocol to communicate with a Gallagher Controller.
HBUSReaderCompability
HBUS communicaons are only supported for sites running Command Centre v7.00 soware (or later).
GallagherMulTechReaders
Gallagher strongly recommends against using dual technology 125/Mifare cards with Gallagher Mul
Tech readers for sites running pre-Command Centre v7.00 soware. From Command Centre v7.00, a
site may specify which technology a Mul Tech reader should read o a dual technology card.
Gallagher PIV Readers
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 soware (or later). Gallagher PIV Readers are connected as HBUS Readers only.

2.2 Powersupply
The Gallagher T15 Reader is designed to operate over a supply voltage range of 9 - 16 Vdc
measured at the reader terminals. The operang current draw is dependant on the supply
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 aected by a low quality, noisy power
supply.
2.3 Cabling
The Gallagher T15 Reader requires a minimum cable size of 4 core 24 AWG (0.2 mm2) stranded
security cable. This cable allows the transmission of data (2 wires) and power (2 wires). When
using a single cable to carry both power supply and data, both the power supply voltage drop
and data requirements must be considered. Although the reader is specied to operate at 9
Vdc, for good engineering design it is recommended that the voltage at the reader should be
approximately 12 Vdc.
HBUScablingtopology
The HBUS communicaons protocol is based on the RS485 standard and allows the reader to
communicate over a distance of up to 500 m (1640 ).
The cabling between HBUS devices should be done in a "daisy chain" topology, (i.e. A "T" or
"Star" topology should not be used between devices). Should "Star" or "Home-Run" wiring be
required, the HBUS 4H/8H Modules and the HBUS Door Module allow mulple HBUS devices to
be individually wired to the one physical locaon.
The end devices on the HBUS cable should be terminated using 120 ohms resistance. To
terminate the Gallagher Controller 6000, connect the supplied on-board terminaon jumpers
to the Controller. To terminate a reader, connect the orange (terminaon) wire to the green
(HBUS A) wire. Terminaon is already included at the HBUS Module, (i.e. each HBUS port is
permanently terminated at the module).

Notes:
• Shielded cable may reduce the obtainable cable length. Shielded cable should be
grounded at the Controller end only.
• If other cable types are used, operang distances and performance may be reduced
depending on the cable quality.
• HBUS allows up to 20 readers to be connected to a single cable. Each reader requires at
least 9 Vdc to funcon correctly. The cable length and the number of readers connected
will have an impact on the voltage at each reader.
3 Distancebetweenproximityreaders
The distance separang any two proximity readers must not be less than 200 mm (8 in) in all direcons.
200 mm
When mounng a proximity reader on an internal wall, check that any reader xed to the other side of
the wall is not less than 200 mm (8 inches) away.

4 Installaon
ATTENTION: This equipment contains components that can be damaged by
electrostac discharge. Ensure both you and the equipment are earthed before
beginning any servicing.
The Gallagher T15 Reader is designed to be mounted on any solid at surface. However installaon on
metal surfaces, parcularly those with a large surface area will reduce read range. The extent to which
the range is reduced will depend upon the type of metal surface.
The recommended mounng height for the reader is 1.1 m (3.6 ) from the oor level to the centre of
the reader device. However this may vary in some countries and you should check local regulaons for
variaons to this height.
1. Use the reader base as a guide to drill all three holes. Drill the 13 mm (1/2 inch) diameter centre
hole (this is the centre hole for which the building cable will exit the mounng surface) and the
two xing holes.
2. Run the building cabling out through the centre hole and through the reader base.
3. Secure the base to the mounng surface using the two xing screws provided. It is important the
base of the reader is ush with and ght against the mounng surface. Three screw locaons
have been provided. Gallagher recommend using the outer screw locaons.
Note: It is strongly recommended that you use the screws provided. If an alternave screw is
used, the head must be no larger nor deeper than that of the screw provided.
Note: Ensure the centre hole allows the cable to run freely out through the mounng surface, so
that the reader facia can clip into the base.

4. Connect the reader tail extending from the facia assembly to the building cable. Connect the
wires for the appropriate reader you wish to interface, either an HBUS Reader or a Cardax IV
Reader, as shown. T15 PIV Readers must be connected as HBUS Readers.
An HBUS Reader connects to a Gallagher Controller 6000, Gallagher 4H/8H Module (aached to
a Controller 6000) or a Gallagher HBUS Door Module (connected to a Controller 6000).

5. Fit the facia assembly into the base by clipping the small lip, into the top of the base and holding
the top, press the boom of the facia assembly down into the base.
6. Insert the M3 Torx Post Security screw (using a T10 Torx Post Security screwdriver) through the
hole at the boom of the base to secure the facia assembly.
Note: The Torx Post Security screw needs only to be lightly ghtened.

7. Removal of the facia assembly is a simple reversal of these steps.
8. Congure the reader in Command Centre. If the reader is connected as an HBUS Reader, refer to
the topic "Conguring HBUS Devices" in the Command Centre Conguraon Client Online Help.
If the reader is connected as a Cardax IV Reader, refer to the topic "Creang Readers" in the
