Vandal Multi-Output Format Proximity Reader
Operation and Installation Instructions
Features Description
The KeyPAC Vandal (PAC Part Number 20450 or K3002) proximity reader is an accessory
commonly used on a majority of access control systems. The Vandal uses pre-encoded ISO
proximity cards (PAC Part Number 21030). Each card is encoded with a unique code that outputs
a serial number to the access control system.
The reader is weather resistant and suitable for indoor or outdoor use. Cards are read at a
distance of up to 3 inches.
This reader is also available in brass finish by ordering PAC Part Number 20458 or K3002B.
How the Reader is Used
The Vandal is connected to a reader input on a door controller, time and attendance unit or control
panel, that can accept a PAC format, Wiegand 26/ 32/ 64 Bit format or ANSI Magstripe format.
The reader detects and reads the unique embedded coding from each ISO card when it is
presented within 3 inches of the reader. The reader will then output this coding, that has been
received by the card, to the receiving door controller, time and attendance unit or control panel.
How the Reader Operates
The reader has an LED to indicate status. When the reader's LED is red the reader is ready to
read a card and output the coding to the control panel. When a valid card is read the output will
begin sending the information to the control panel. If the card is valid, the control panel will activate
and output to the reader turning the LED to green. This change of the LED will most commonly
indicate a Access Granted condition or an acknowledgment that the control panel has received and
logged the coding from the card.
• Easy Installation
• Reads ISO Cards (PAC P.N. 21030)
• Status LED indicates Access Authorised
• Rated for Indoor and Outdoor use
• Stainless Steel Housing

Installing the Reader
Choose the Best Mounting Location for the User
The normal height for the reader is approximately 48 inches (four feet) from the floor, on the
unhinged side. Check local regulations regarding proper mounting locations for disabled or
handicapped persons.
Mount the reader on any firm flat surface. Avoid mounting the reader on rough textured surfaces.
There must be a distance of at least 36 inches (three feet) between two readers. Therefore, if
using readers to control entry and exit from an area, they must be mounted on opposite sides of
the door.
No special precautions are needed if the reader is mounted outside, as it is fully encapsulated. The
connections made to the flying lead, however, may need protection.
Route the Cable
Install the reader up to 200 feet from the Control Panel or Wiegand Interface Unit using 22 AWG
wire or up to 500 feet using 18 AWG wire. Run a five or six wire cable from the controlling unit to
the reader mounting location.
Protect the reader cable from EMI: Do not route the reader cable close to the power lines for
the electric lock. Use shielded cable to eliminate possible interference to the data from the electric
lock.
Splicing the Cable to the Wiring Harness
Use the crimp connectors provided, or other suitable means such as soldering, to splice the wiring
harness, provided on the reader to the end of the cable. When using 22 AWG cable, you should
twist the wires together and double them over before inserting them in the crimp.

Mounting the Reader
This reader should be mounted using the Vandal Resistant screws provided. You will need the
special screwdriver for these screws (Part no. 1950 - available separately).
Fixing the Reader
1. Ensure that the reader cable is not connected to the controller. Route the flying lead
behind the reader and connect it using the crimp connectors supplied. Wire the cable as
described in the Wiring section later in this manual.
2. If the connections are in a location that may be wet or damp, then protect the connectors
with a sealing compound, or use weatherproof crimps.
3. Using appropriate fixings, such as wall plugs, for the surface you are mounting it on, fix the
reader to as flat and even a surface as possible. This will reduce the possibility of it being
levered from the wall. Either use the Vandal Resistant screws provided, or other suitable
fixings. The LED should be at the top.
4. Apply a silicone sealant to any gaps behind the reader to protect against moisture if the
reader is mounted outside.

Reader Operation
Normal Operation and LED Control
The reader LED will normally be red when the door or system is in the closed condition. When a
card is presented within range of the reader the code in the card will be read and the coding sent
to the controlling unit. If the card is valid for that door or system at that time the LED will go green
which is controlled by the N.O. relay or LED connection of the Control Panel. The LED will stay
green while the Brown LED wire is shorted to Common.
WARNING: For Output formats other than PAC, the output format of the reader will be
reprogrammed for a PAC system if the White and Brown wires are shorted and power is
applied to the reader. The reader will need to be sent in for repair to have the output format
reset once this has occurred.
Tamper Operation
The Blue wire tamper connection is a normally closed circuit between the blue wire and black wire
common connection. If the cable is cut this connection will go to an open circuit which can be used
to indicate a tamper violation condition.
