Preliminary Installation Notes

1. MOUNTING SURFACE.  SIFER Readers are optimized for

mounting on a non-metallic surface.  A metallic surface will
decrease the read range.  To improve read range on a metallic
surface, a non-metallic spacer or mounting block that
provides 8mm or more of separation  is recommended.

2. IN/OUT READERS.  If two SIFER Readers are installed

back to back on either side of a Door, mount the Readers at
different heights to minimize interference.

3. CABLING.  SIFER Readers are wired in a star and/or daisy-

chain configuration from the ‘RDR RS485’ Port (or Inception
‘READER’ Port), within the limits defined under
Specifications on page 1.  The pigtail cable can be extended
using twisted pair cable.  2-pair, 7/0.20 twisted pair data cable
is recommended.  

See “Wiring Diagram” opposite.

See “Specifications” and “Extending Cable” on page 1 for

cabling distances and recommended cables.

If the cable has more than 2 Pairs, a spare pair may also be

connected in parallel to V+ & OV to reduce voltage drop.

4. SHIELDED CABLE.  If shielded cable is used:

a)  Do NOT use the shield as the 0V (negative) connection or

allow the shield to contact other wiring or metalwork.

b)  Shield is terminated to a protective earth (if available) or

0V, at one end of the cable.  i.e. At the host Module.

5. Make a note of the Serial number of each Reader & where it

will be installed.  

See “Barcode Label” opposite.

6. LOCATION.  If installed outdoors, avoid direct sunlight as

this may cause the housing colour to fade over time.

Reader Cable

Installing the Reader

1. Mount the SIFER Keypad on a flat, solid surface at an

appropriate height for easy keypad use.  Determine the
mounting location and ensure that cable access is available.

2. If the mounting plate is attached to the body of the Reader,

remove it.  Insert a small flat blade screwdriver into one of
the two rectangular slots at the bottom rear of the Reader and
gently lift the mounting plate out of the Reader body.

3. Using the mounting plate, or the template opposite, mark out,

then drill holes for the 2 mounting screws and the cable entry
at the mounting location, then secure the mounting plate to
the surface using appropriate hardware.

4. Join the extending cable (if required) to the Reader pigtail

cable using appropriate terminals/joiners.  Note the wire
colours (as they may be different), then route the cable from
the mounting location to the Access Module.

5. Fit off the cable to the Access Module “RDR RS485”

terminal as shown above opposite.

6. Test the installation, including tamper detection

*

 (if used),

then fit the Reader body to the mounting plate as follows:

a)

 Position the tabs in the top of the Reader body into the

slots at the top of the mounting plate.

b)

 Push the bottom of the Reader body onto the mounting

plate until it clicks into place.

c)

 Secure the body to the mounting plate at the bottom of the

assembly with the countersunk screw provided.

*NOTE:

 If tamper detection is unreliable due to the mounting

surface, adding a white/reflective sticker, or similar, on the
surface behind the sensor will assist.
