MS-3000 MicroStar Reader
The MS-3000 MicroStar Reader is intended for installation on a window mullion or a door frame,
on or off metal, in proximity applications where an unobtrusive reader is required. The reader
provides an audible beeper and a multi colored LED to annunciate the reader's status when used
with 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 condition

The MS-3000 MicroStar Reader is housed in a black, weatherproof, shock resistant package. The
reader provides optimum performance when mounted on aluminum; read range is slightly reduced
if the reader is not mounted on aluminum.

Mounting Instructions

Three holes need to be drilled to mount the MicroStar Reader (see Figure 1). One large hole (0.875"
- 7/8") accommodates the beeper and the reader cable. Two small holes are for mounting the reader
on the mullion or door frame (hole size is dependent upon the size of the mounting screw).
NOTE: Do not mount the reader near sources of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) such as a
computer monitor. EMI degrades a reader's read range.

Connections

MS-3000

The MicroStar Reader does not require configuration; there are no switches or jumpers to set. The
MicroStar Reader is normally connected to a PXL-250, PXL-100, or IntelliProx, but can be
connected to an alternative host controller/alarm panel through an IntelliProx used in its Wiegand
input device mode. All connections needed to support the reader are made through the reader's
cable. Please consult the tables on pages 2 and 3 for specific connection instructions.

Installation Verification

The following information applies to an installation with a Keri Systems controller or IntelliProx
unit. When used with an alternative host controller/alarm panel through an IntelliProx used in its
Wiegand input device mode, the actions of the reader's LED and beeper are controlled by the
alternative 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 controller is
powered on. The reader's normal state is to display a constantly on Amber LED as it waits for a card
or tag to be presented.
To verify the reader is functioning properly, pass a Keri Proximity Card or a Keri Key Tag within a
few 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 return to
steady Amber.
To verify the reader's read range, hold a Keri Proximity Card or a Keri Key Tag parallel to the
reader, about 1 foot away and slowly draw the Card/Tag in toward the reader. Note the distance
when the reader recognizes the card. The MicroStar reader's range will be up to 4 inches for a card
and 2 inches for a tag 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
cards and tags, tags provide approximately 50% less read range than cards.

MS-3000

Refer to the Troubleshooting the Reader Installation section beginning on page 7 if the reader is not
functioning properly.

Troubleshooting the Reader Installation
Problem
The reader does
not recognize a
card/tag (no
beep, no LED
flash).

Probable Cause
1. One or more of the
reader's wiring
connections are
incorrect.

Corrective Action
•

2. The reader is not
•
receiving proper power
from the controller.
3. The reader is mounted
•
too close to a device that
radiates electromagnetic
interference.
4. A jumper is not set
correctly on the
controller.

•

•

Devices such as computer monitors radiate
electromagnetic interference that affects read
range. When possible, relocate either the
reader or the device to provide a greater
distance between the two.
For a PXL-250: Verify there is a jumper
across pins 1 and 2 of JP4 (refer to the
Technical Reference manual for more
information - Keri p/n 01836-001).
For a PXL-100: If the controllers are using
TAPTM software, verify JP1 on the controller
and the jumper on the Receiver card1 are
installed across both jumper pins. If the
controllers are using DoorsTM software,
verify JP1 on the controller and the Receiver
card1 are not installed across both pins
(typically the jumper will be installed onto
one of the pins to keep it available).
For an IntelliProx: Verify there is not a
jumper across pins 1 and 2 of JP1 (typically
the jumper can be installed onto one of the
pins to keep it available).

MS-3000

•

Power down the controller and verify the
wiring connections are correct for the reader/
controller combination per the instructions
provided in the Connections section on pages
2 and 3.
Verify the voltage supplied to the reader is
between 5 and 14 VDC.

– continued on next page –
1. The receiver board's jumper is on the underside of the board. Gently pull the receiver board away from the
controller, verify the jumper setting is correct per your application, carefully align the connectors on the
receiver board with the pins on the controller, and gently push the receiver board back into place.

Probable Cause

5. You are using an

6. The reader is unable to
read the card.

grounded.

Corrective Action
•
•
•

2. The shield wire for the •
reader's cable has
opened somewhere
between the reader and
the controller.
3. The reader is mounted
•
too close to a device that
radiates electromagnetic
interference.
4. The controller is
mounted too close to a
device that radiates
electromagnetic
interference.

•

5. The reader is powered
by a switching power
supply.

•

Make sure you are using an access card that
is compatible with the reader.
Verify there is nothing that can interfere
between the reader and the access card.
Ensure there is a quality earth ground
connection made to the controller. Refer to
the controller's documentation for specific
information regarding the earth ground
connection.
Verify the shield line from the controller to
the reader is one continuous, connected line.
Refer to the controller's installation
documentation and verify the shield line is
correctly connected to the controller.
Devices such as computer monitors radiate
electromagnetic interference that affects read
range. When possible, relocate either the
reader or the device to provide a greater
distance between the two.
Devices such as computer monitors radiate
electromagnetic interference that affects the
performance of the receiver board on the
controller. When possible, relocate either the
controller or the device to provide a greater
distance between the two.
Switching power supplies are EMI sources.
Change to a linear, regulated power supply.
