Installer Programming
The tSec readers utilize built in programming functions that enable options to be configured via an RS-485 Serial
Interface. 125kHz capable tSec readers can also be programmed using a Nano/Vario 125kHz programming
card. These cards cannot be used to program the 13.56MHz series of tSec readers.
7.1 Entering RS-485 Programming Mode
1. Complete the wiring connections as shown for using an RS-485 USB Converter (see page 11).
Ensure that the unconnected wires are not shorting to each other or any other connection point. You can
still configure the units if they are terminated to a reader interface you will require the +, - and NA, NB
connections to be connected to the RS-485 USB Converter.
2. Power up the card reader and RS-485 USB Converter.
3. Open Hyper Terminal or a similar serial terminal program, set the communications port to the RS-485 USB
Converter and set the parameters to 38400, N, 8, 1 and VT100 terminal emulation.
4. Make a short between the brown and white wires together and power up the reader. A configuration menu
will appear.
Data entry and the menu will time out after 40 seconds of no activity and restart the reader, any
programming changes will be lost.
7.2 Entering 125kHz Programming Mode
Applies to the 125kHz series of tSec readers only.
125kHz programming mode is entered by presenting a PRX-PROG-LF (Programming Card - Nano/Vario
125kHz) to the unit within the first 2 minutes of power being applied. The reader beeps twice to indicate 125kHz
programming mode has been entered.
12
Data entry and the menu times out after 2 minutes of no activity and reverts back to normal activity,
any programming changes will be lost.
PRX-TSEC tSec Multi-Technology Card Reader Installation Manual | May 2016
To program the reader using 125kHz mode:
1. Present the card to the reader the number of times matching the data value option for the selected address.
2. Wait for the reader to beep twice.
3. Present the card the required number of times to set the desired option (as outlined by the 125kHz setting
column in the tables below).
4. Wait for the reader to beep twice indicating the data has been programmed correctly. At this stage the
reader is waiting for a new address to program.
5. If additional settings are required, repeat the above steps.
An invalid entry will result in a long tone being generated. The data can be entered again or allow the
reader to timeout to select another address.
6. Once complete, leave the programming interface to time out.
Example: To program Address 1 (Card/Tag Format), present the programming card to the reader once. The
card reader will respond by beeping twice to indicate data entry mode has been entered and that you can
present the card the required number of times to set the desired option.

The format string extracts data starting from the most significant bit of the first byte in the Mifare card’s sector.
The following modifiers can currently be used.
Modifier
Description
BCD (4 bits, decimal)
The reader loads data as either site or card data as defined by the specifier:
Modifier
Description
Load site
Load card
Unused
Example
We have a Mifare card which has been encoded with data in sector 3. The data has a start marker
0xAABBCCDDEEFF at the start of the sector, 3 packed decimal BCD encoded site values and ends with 5
unpacked decimal BCD card values. It is then filled with binary 1’s. For a particular card this may mean the data
is 0xAABBCCDDEEFF12300403020100FFFFFF.
The start marker needs to be ignored. The marker length is 6 bytes which is 48 bits. To ignore this we use the
following format specifier: %48u.
The site code data is packed BCD. This means we need the ‘b’ modifier. We want to load this data as site data
so we use the ‘s’ specifier. This means we need our format specifier to be %bs. As there are 3 site code bytes
we repeat this 3 times giving %bs%bs%bs.
The card code is unpacked decimal BCD. This means we need the ‘b’ modifier. We want to load this data as
card data so we use the ‘c’ specifier. This means the format specifier is %bc. Note that the BCD data is
unpacked, ie for each byte we have 4bits which are 0 and 4bits which are the BCD value. This means we must
ignore the first 4bits each time as we did for the start marker, then read the BCD data. So for each unpacked
BCD value we use %4u%bc. We repeat this 5 times to read the whole set.
The trailing data doesn't need to be read so it can be ignored.
This gives the complete format string: %48u%bs%bs%bs%4u%bc%4u%bc%4u%bc%4u%bc%4u%bc.
