ENTERING PROGRAMMING MODE
*00nnnn#
Before you can configure the reader you must enter programming mode by using this command. You must enter the
correct four-digit security PIN for the reader. The factory default is 1234.
For example, to place a factory-configured reader into programming mode you should enter *001234#. If no keys are
pressed, programming mode will timeout after 30 seconds without saving the changes you have made.
SET PIN MODE *01n#
This programming command allows you to set up how the reader handles keypad data. The reader is capable of
outputting keypad data in a number of industry-standard formats. The following modes are supported:
0 – Disabled (i.e. no keypad output).
1 – HID 4-Bit Wiegand Burst (Factory Default)
2 – Dorado 8-Bit Wiegand Burst (also compatible with Indala)
3 – Mercury 8-Bit Wiegand Burst
4 – 1 Digit Clock & Data
5 – Dorado 8-Bit Burst
6 – 8 Digit Clock & Data
7 – 5 Digit Buffered to 26-Bit Wiegand Output (Sensor-26, Site Code = 0..255, Card No. = 0..65535)
8 – HID 32-Bit Wiegand Output (Site Code = 0..65535,Card No. = 0..65535)
9 – 7-Digit Buffered to 34-Bit Wiegand Output (Sensor-34, Site Code = 0..4095,Card No. = 0..1048575)
For example, to set the reader to buffer keystrokes and output them in the industry-standard 26-bit format you should
enter *017# once the reader has been placed into programming mode.
SET AUDIBLE TONE ON CODE
*02n#
During the entry of a buffered PIN (PIN modes 7,8 and 9), you have the option of allowing the reader to issue a
confirmation beep or an error triple-beep on entering the PIN.
Once the reader has been placed into programming mode, enter *021# to enable the audible tone, *020# to disable
the audible tone on PIN entry. By default, the audible tone is disabled.
SET AUDIBLE TONE ON CARD
*03n#
During the entry of a buffered PIN (PIN modes 7,8 and 9), you have the option of allowing the reader to issue a
confirmation beep or an error triple-beep on presenting the card.
Once the reader has been placed into programming mode, enter *031# to enable the audible tone, *030# to disable
the audible tone on PIN entry. By default, the audible tone is disabled.
SET PROXIMITY READING *04n#
This programming command allows you to disable transmission of the proximity card data by the reader.
The reader will still beep to indicate that it has read the card. To disable transmission of the card data, enter *040#
once the reader has been placed into programming mode.
To enable transmission, enter *041#. By default, transmission is enabled.
SET LED CONFIGURATION *05n#
LED’s may be configured for the following modes.
0 – TM5 Standard LED Configuration
1 – Traffic Light, Plus Buzzer
2 – Mon LED, Plus Buzzer
3 – TM4 Standard LED Configuration
4 – TM4, Plus Buzzer
SET SITE CODE *06nnnnn#
Set the site code number that is combined with the card number read from the card and sent out as the complete card
info message. The unit accepts site codes from zero to 65535 although the maximum valid value depends on the
output format.
SET SECURITY PIN *98oooonnnn#
To ensure the security of the reader, it is important that a new security PIN is entered during installation to prevent
unauthorised individual from reconfiguring the reader.
For example, to change the factory default PIN of 1234 to 6767 you should enter *9812346767# one the reader has
been placed into programming mode.
SAVE CHANGES AND EXIT *99#
Once you have set the configuration options you require for the reader, you must save them by entering this
programming command. You must enter *99# to save the changes you have made to the reader’s configuration.

Installation Instructions

Introduction:
The TM5 proximity keypad reader provides a convenient and easy-to-use means of transmitting
RFID proximity card data and PIN data to an access control panel. The TM5 is quick and easy to
install on any flat surface using the stainless steel fixing screws and wall plugs supplied, it can
even be mounted direct to metal surfaces with no significant loss of read range. The durable push
button keypad is back-lit to allow for operation at night, and a beep is emitted on every button
press.
A back-box is also available if surface-mount conduit cable entry is required. An optional buzzer
(110+ dB) can be fitted in the back-box for applications where there are high levels of background
noise.
TM5 proximity keypad readers are available in many different output formats allowing interface
with virtually all access control systems. Please ensure that the correct format is requested at time
of order.
Installation:
The TM5 is designed to be mounted flush to the wall surface. Use the reader housing to mark out the position of the fixing screws,
drill two holes suitable for the fixing screws and wall material. When drilling standard brick material a 6 mm drill should be used. If
mounting on sheet material, glass, metal etc. the mounting arrangements will need to be modified to suit. Drill a hole roughly mid-
way between the two mounting holes for the connection cable.
Operation:
When power is applied to the reader, the red LED will light and the beeper will sound to
indicate the reader is fully functional. For optimum read range the card should be
presented face-on to the reader. Typical read ranges are 15 cm when used with ISO
proximity cards, and 8 cm with proximity keyfobs.
Cabling:
It is recommended that Belden 9536 screened cable, or equivalent, is used between
reader and control panel. The recommended maximum distance between reader and
control panel is 100 metres. This is dependant upon type of cable used and the electrical
environment present. ALWAYS VERIFY THAT THE CABLING DISTANCE AND
ROUTING IS SUITABLE.
Current:
120mA – 250mA Typical, dependant on mode of operation.
Environmental:
TM5 Series proximity keypad readers have been designed for both internal and external applications in severe weather conditions.
The electronics are fully encapsulated in the UV stable compound polycarbonate housing, ensuring that the readers are both
weather proof and virtually unbreakable.

Grounding:
It is recommended that the proximity reader, control panel and power supply unit have a common ground. The screen of the
Belden 9536 cable should be firmly connected to the power supply grounded chassis to prevent ground loops.
