The reader provides an audio beeper and a multi colored LEDto annunciate the reader's status when used on a PXL-250, PXL-100, or IntelliProx.• Amber – to indicate normal operation awaiting an access event• Green – to indicate a valid card has been presented or the door has been unlocked for access• Red – to indicate an invalid card has been presented or the door is in an alarm conditionThe MS-9000 MegaStar Reader is housed in a black, weatherproof, shock resistant package.The reader provides optimum performance when mounted at least ten inches away from metalsurfaces; read range is reduced if the reader is mounted on or near metal surfaces.SpecificationsDimensions• 8.50 inches High x 6.00 inches Wide x 0.75 inches Deep• 21.59 cm High x 15.24 cm Wide x 1.91 cm DeepFigure 1 – MS-9000 DimensionsQuick Start GuideMS-900012.15"1.90"Drill CableAccess Hole0.375"(3/8")6.00" toCable Hole Center1.35" D 12.00" W16.00" H1.60" 8.85"Mounting Holes - 4xLED7.50" toCable Hole Center

One hole(0.375" – 3/8") accommodates the reader cable. Four holes are for mounting the reader on a wallsurface (hole size is dependent upon the size of the mounting screw – a 1/4" screw or bolt isrecommended).For parking or related applications, the MegaStar Reader can be mounted to a metal "goose-neck" stand, provided the mounting surface on the stand is 4 inches x 4 inches or smaller. Thissize restriction on the stand's mounting surface ensures the metal in the stand does not affect theoperation of the Reader. If the stand's mounting surface is greater than 4 inches x 4 inches amounting plate made of nonmetallic material is required between the stand's mounting surfaceand the Reader to provide the necessary distance between Reader and metal to ensure optimumread range.ConnectionsThe MegaStar Reader does not require configuration; there are no switches or jumpers to set.The MegaStar Reader is normally connected to a PXL-250, PXL-100, or IntelliProx, but can beconnected to an alternative host controller/alarm panel through an IntelliProx used in its Wiegandinput device mode. All connections needed to support the reader are made through the reader'scable. Please consult the tables on pages 2 and 3 for specific connection instructions.PXL-250 ConnectionsThe "A" reader connects to TB5, pins 1 through 6 (TB5 has a seventh pin, but no connection ismade to that pin).

The advantage to the 24 VDCsupply is that the read range is increased by approximately 20%. Perform the following steps touse the 24 VDC power option.1. Disconnect the power and ground leads from the controller or IntelliProx unit.2. Connect the positive lead from the 24 VDC supply to the Red lead on the Reader cable.3. Connect the negative lead from the 24 VDC supply to the Black lead on the Readercable.4. Connect the ground lead from the 24 VDC supply to the power ground on the controlleror IntelliProx unit.• TB2, pin 2 on the PXL-250• TB4, pin 27 on the PXL-100• TB2, pin 12 on the IntelliProxInstallation VerificationThe following information applies to an installation with a Keri Systems controller or IntelliProxunit. When used with an alternative host controller/alarm panel through an IntelliProx used in itsWiegand input device mode, the actions of the reader's LED and beeper are controlled by thealternative host controller/alarm panel and might not match those of a Keri Systems controller.The reader's power is provided by the controller, so the reader is powered on when the controlleris powered on. The reader's normal state is to display a constantly on Amber LED as it waits for acard or tag to be presented.To verify the reader is functioning properly, pass a Keri Proximity Card or a Keri Key Tag within afew inches of the reader. The reader will beep and either the Green or Red LED will flash(depending upon whether or not the card/tag has been enrolled at the controller) and then returnto steady Amber.To verify the reader's read range, hold a Keri Proximity Card or a Keri Key Tag parallel to thereader, about 3 feet away and slowly draw the Card/Tag in toward the reader. Note the distancewhen the reader recognizes the card. The MegaStar reader's range will be up to 22 inches (26inches if using the 24 VDC power option) depending upon the installation conditions, the materialon which the reader is mounted, and whether it is a card or a tag being read. Due to the physicalsize difference between cards and tags, cards provide approximately 50% greater read rangethan tags.Refer to the Troubleshooting the Reader Installation section if the reader is not functioningproperly.Quick Start GuideMS-9000

One or more of thereader's wiringconnections areincorrect.• Power down the controller and verifythe wiring connections are correct forthe reader/controller combination perthe instructions provided in theConnections section on pages 2 and 3.2. The reader is notreceiving properpower from thecontroller.• If powering the reader at 12 volts, verifythe voltage supplied by the controller isat 12 VDC +/- 2 V.• If powering the reader at 24 volts, verifythe voltage supplied to the reader is at24 VDC +/- 2 V.The reader doesnot recognize acard/tag (no beep,no LED flash).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. A jumper is not setcorrectly on thecontroller.• For a PXL-250: Verify there is a jumperacross pins 1 and 2 of JP4 (refer to theTechnical Reference manual for moreinformation – Keri p/n 01836-001).• For a PXL-100: If the controllers areusing TAP™ software, verify JP1 on thecontroller and the jumper on theReceiver card(1) are installed acrossboth jumper pins. If the controllers areusing Doors™ software, verify JP1 onthe controller and the Receiver card(1)are not installed across both pins(typically the jumper will be installedonto one of the pins to keep itavailable).• For an IntelliProx: Verify there is not ajumper across pins 1 and 2 of JP1(typically the jumper can be installedonto one of the pins to keep itavailable).The reader has ashort read range. 1. The reader's controlleris not properlygrounded.• Ensure there is a quality earth groundconnection made to the controller. Referto the controller's documentation forspecific information regarding the earthground connection.- continued next page -(1) The receiver board's jumper is on the underside of the board. Gently pull the receiver boardaway from the controller, verify the jumper setting is correct per your application, carefullyalign the connectors on the receiver board with the pins on the controller, and gently push thereceiver board back into place.Quick Start GuideMS-9000

The shield wire for thereader's cable hasopened somewherebetween the readerand the controller.• Verify the shield line from the controllerto the reader is one continuous,connected line. Refer to the controller'sinstallation documentation and verifythe shield line is correctly connected tothe controller.3. The reader is mountedtoo close to a metallicobject.• Remove the reader from its mountingsurface and ensure there is no metal onthe mounting surface within 4 inches ofthe reader.4.
