It can be mounted on metal or non-metal surfaces. The P-500’s electronicsare housed in a black, weatherproof, shock resistant package. This package is mounted to theinstallation surface. An attractive, snap-on, black or white front cover hides the electronicspackage and installation mounting hardware providing an extra level of security.The P-500 can be used with virtually any manufacturer’s access panel because it produces anindustry standard Wiegand output. The reader can be configured to work with access panelsusing either single or dual LED control lines. It is able to read the following Keri Systems’Wiegand cards.• PSC-1 Standard Light Proximity Cards• PSM-2 Multi Technology Cards• PSK-3 Proximity Key TagsWhen a card or tag is read, the P-500 immediately responds with a beep and an LED blink. Theaccess panel then handles subsequent LED and beeper responses. The P-500 also featuresbuilt-in diagnostics: a start-up self test to ensure reader functionality and a data line test to ensurereader/access panel communication.SpecificationsDimensions• 4.5 inches High x 3.0 inches Wide x 0.38inches Deep• 114 mm High x 76 mm Wide x 10 mmDeepOperating Voltage• 5v to 14v DC @ 80 ma nominalOperating Temperature• -40 °C to +65 °C (-40 °F to +150 °F)Cable Specifications (1)• up to 500 feet using seven conductor,shielded, stranded AWG 24 wire (suchas Belden 9537)Frequency• 125 KHz excitation• 62.5 KHz data return (PSK)Read Range (2)• up to 7 inches (17.8 cm) off metal• up to 3 inches (7.6. cm) on metalLED Indicator• standard tri-color (Red, Green, Amber)Audio Tone• standardFront Cover Colors• Black, Off-White(1) Per Wiegand specification, a minimum gauge of AWG 24 is required for data transfer in a 500-foot run length.However the wire gauge to use should be determined by the current draw requirements of the reader, the length ofthe cable run, and the voltage being applied to the reader. If the reader is to be operated at +5 VDC, +5 VDC mustbe available at the reader (long cable runs have a voltage drop across the length of the run due to the resistance inthe cable). To ensure +5 VDC is available at the reader a larger gauge of wire (having less resistance) or a separatepower supply at the reader may be required.(2) Read Range is measured in a clean RF and electrical environment using a Keri Systems Standard Light ProximityCard presented parallel to the reader surface. The Read Range will be less for a Key Tag and a Multi TechnologyCard.Quick Start GuideP-500

One large hole (7/8")accommodates the beeper and the reader cable. Two small holes (for a #6 screw) are formounting the electronics package on the mullion or doorframe.LED3.00" (76 mm)1.5" (38 mm)4.50" (114 mm)3.30" (84 mm)0.38" (10 mm)0.18" (4.6 mm)7/8" diaCable &Beeper1.75" (44.5 mm)0.6" (15.25 mm)Figure 1 – P-500 Mounting DimensionsConnectionsThere are no switches or jumpers to set. The only configuration the P-500 requires is to set thereader for single or dual LED control line operation (explained later in this document). The P-500Reader can be connected to virtually any access panel that meets Wiegand interface standards.All connections are made through the reader's cable.

The access panelcontrols the actions of the P-500’s LED and beeper.PowerThe P-500 is powered by the access panel, so the reader is powered on when the access panelis powered on.Read RangeTo verify the P-500’s read range, hold a Keri Systems Wiegand card or tag parallel to the reader,about 1 foot away and slowly bring the Card/Tag in toward the reader. Note the distance whenthe reader recognizes the card (the reader beeps and the LED flashes). The reader's range willbe up to 7 inches (if mounted off a metal surface) or up to 3 inches (if mounted on a metalsurface) depending upon the installation conditions, the material on which the reader is mounted,and whether it is a card or a tag being read. Due to the physical size difference between cardsand tags, cards provide approximately 50% greater read range than tags.Refer to the Troubleshooting the Reader Installation section if the reader is not functioningproperly.Switching Between Single or Dual LED Control Line ModesThe P-500 can work with control panels configured to drive either Wiegand single or dual LEDcontrol line devices. The reader uses a “control” card to switch between single and dual line LEDcontrol modes. The Control Line card must be ordered separately from the supplier. The defaultsetting for the P-500 reader is for dual LED control line operation.To toggle between modes, simply present the LED Mode control card to the reader. The readerwill beep and the LED will flash indicating the control card was recognized and the mode hasbeen changed, but no data is sent to the access panel.Troubleshooting the Reader InstallationProblem Probable Cause Corrective ActionThe reader doesnot recognize acard/tag (no beep,no LED flash).1.

The reader is notreceiving properpower from the accesspanel.• Verify the voltage supplied to the readeris between 5 and 14 VDC.3. The reader is mountedtoo close to a devicethat radiateselectromagneticinterference.• Devices such as computer monitorsradiate electromagnetic interferencethat affects read range. When possible,relocate either the reader or the deviceto provide a greater distance betweenthe two.The reader has ashort read range. 1. The access panel isnot properly grounded. • Ensure there is a quality earth groundconnection made to the access panel.Refer to the access panel’sdocumentation for specific informationregarding the earth ground connection.2. The shield wire for thereader's cable hasopened somewherebetween the readerand the access panel.• Verify the shield line from the accesspanel to the reader is one continuous,connected line. Refer to the accesspanel’s installation documentation andverify the shield line is correctlyconnected to the access panel.3. The reader is mountedtoo close to a devicethat radiateselectromagneticinterference.• Devices such as computer monitorsradiate electromagnetic interferencethat affects read range. When possible,relocate either the reader or the deviceto provide a greater distance betweenthe two.4. The power supply isgeneratingelectromagneticinterference.• The power supply on the alarm panelshould be a regulated linear supply – donot use switching supplies as they areoften sources of electromagneticinterference.Data Line Level TestThe P-500 has an internal data line level test to verify the reader is able to communicate with theaccess panel. A “control” card is used to trigger the data line level test. Present the card to thereader. The reader beeps and the LED flashes to indicate the card has been read and the testhas begun. In this test the reader toggles the Wiegand data lines between high and low states –+5 VDC to 0 VDC. This toggling occurs at a slow rate so that it can be viewed on a DVM.1. Set the DVM to a range that can safely view +5 VDC.2. Disconnect the Wiegand Data lines from the access panel.3. At the access panel, connect the negative lead of the DVM to access panel ground.4. Connect the positive lead of the DVM to the Wiegand Data 0 line.5. Monitor the DVM. If the reader is operating correctly, the DVM will toggle between +5VDC and 0 VDC.6. Now connect the positive lead of the DVM to the Wiegand Data 1 line.7. Again monitor the DVM. If the reader is operating correctly, the DVM will toggle between+5 VDC and 0 VDC.8. Reconnect the Wiegand Data lines to the access panel.Quick Start GuideP-500
