Introduction The GE Contactless Medium Read-Range Card (Model 260) is the latest evolution in contactless reader 13.56 MHz technology, and features universal compatibility with all ISO 15693 and ISO 14443A badge credentials. The GE Model 260 reader combines simple, cost-effective installation with the end-user convenience of extended read range. The reader housing is a durable gray polycarbonate making the reader equally well-suited for interior and exterior security locations.

Product Overview Features • Exceptional read range of up to 14 inches (355.6 mm) for ISO 15693compliant credentials. (Read range will vary with credential type and quality, as well as installation environment). • Universal compatibility with all ISO 15693 and ISO 14443A credentials (badges, disc tags, and key fobs). • Supervised four-state (open, closed, wire cut, and wire short) monitoring for door contacts and REX (request to exit) switches, and wiring.
To make a Secure Perfect 4.0 or higher system compatible with the GE Contactless Medium Read-Range Readers, do the following: • Install Secure Perfect Edition, 4.0 or higher • Load the Secure Perfect Update CD in the server CD drive • Locate the Badge Formats folder • In the Badge Formats folder, locate the 15693.REG file • Double-click the 15693.
Mounting Considerations FOR PROTECTION AGAINST ENVIRONMENTAL INTERFERENCE Model 260 readers require care and consideration in the manner in which they are mounted. This includes consideration of the other equipment and structural elements that are mounted near the reader, whether visible or hidden. The following covers the major factors to consider. Environmental Interference There are three types of environmental interference: 1. Electrical Noise (field wiring related) 2.
The reader may encounter a wide range of interference as shown in Figure 3, “GE Model 260 Reader Environmental Considerations,” on page 5. Common causes include: Power Wiring Power wiring carries electrical noise that can interfere with the operation of the reader. This is more common with traditional 125 KHz proximity readers. However, this is a potential issue with the GE Model 260 reader, particularly if data noise is introduced by coupling from the reader’s power wiring.
Installation on Metal Surface Mounting the GE Reader directly on a metal (or other electrical conducting surface) will reduce read range to approximately 9.45 inches (240 mm). For maximum read-range, ensure the metal wall installation switch is set to the “< 0.75 inch” position. Another potential source of interference is mounting two or more readers in close proximity as shown in Figure 4.
To ensure proper operation and optimal read range, take the following precautions: 1. Mount all readers before tuning any of the readers. 2. Ensure that the back-to-back distance is at least 3.28 feet (one meter). Note: If a metal plate is installed between the two readers, the back-to-back distance restriction may be ignored. However, read range will be reduced to approximately 9.45 inches (240 mm).
FIGURE 6: Parking Entrance/Exit Application B Reader-Control Gap Gate Ctrl Readers OUT Gate Ctrl IN In Application A, the back-to-back and (if used) vertical gap guidelines above must be observed. Remember to mount all readers (and all other structures) before tuning the reader. In Application B, successful installation requires close attention to electrical noise from the gate control mechanism (and its associated wiring) that may cause reader-to-reader signal interference.

Metal signs are common items in both indoor and outdoor installations. The signs may be free standing (see Figure 3, “GE Model 260 Reader Environmental Considerations,” on page 5) or fixed in position (see Figure 7, “Parking Entrance Exit and Metal Sign Applications,” on page 10.
Installation FIGURE 8: Model 260 Reader Backplate and Cover The cover is secured with four supplied screws (screw hole plugs included).
Installation: Model 260 on Metal The GE Model 260 reader can be field-tuned to accommodate installation on or near metal surfaces. To accomplish this, perform the following steps: 1. Remove the front cover. 2. Mount reader back-plate assembly. 3. Terminate the communications cable at the microcontroller using the wiring diagram in Figure 9, “GE Model 260 Reader Wiring Diagram to Micro/5 8RP,” on page 16 or Figure 11, “GE Model 260 Reader to 2RP,” on page 18. 4.
Micro Selection • Micro/5 for 2RP and 8RP installation instructions: refer to the Micro/5 Installation Guide. IMPORTANT: DO NOT use the Model 260 Reader with a Micro/5 2SRP reader processor. • Micro/PX-2000 and Micro/PXN-2000 controllers: refer to the Micro/ PX-2000 and Micro/PXN-2000 Installation Guide. • Micro/Reader-Junction Box: refer to the point-to-point wiring diagrams in this manual.

Installation Notes (unless otherwise specified). All numbered items below are referenced on the appropriate wiring diagrams that follow. 1. Fuse, power supply, door strike, protection device, and relay are provided by the installer. 2. The 470 included Ω ½-watt resistor, must be installed at the Micro/5 2RP terminal block. The Micro PX-2000/PXN-2000 and Micro/5 2RP and 8RP boards do not require this resistor. 3. Shielded cable is recommended in electrically noisy environments. 4.

Troubleshooting If the operation of a component is in doubt, substitute a known-good component and retry the system. Always verify wiring against the provided wiring information before powering up the reader. Table 7: Error Conditions and Possible Solutions Condition Possible Solutions None of the LEDs are on. Present a known-good ISO 15693 or ISO 14443A type card to the reader while listening for the beeper. If the beeper sounds, the reader is faulty and should be replaced.
Condition Possible Solutions The green LED does not light, but the door strike unlocks the door when a valid ISO 15693 or ISO 14443A card is presented. Verify that the door strike is wired correctly. Refer to the appropriate wiring diagram. Green LED lights but the door does not open. Verify correct door strike wiring and operation. The reader is functioning. If not, check that the blocking diode is functioning. If it is not, replace it.
Condition Possible Solutions The reader sounds a short triple beep every 30 seconds and the red LED flashes quickly (every 400 ms). Indicates a tamper violation. Ensure the reader is properly attached to its backplate. The red LED will continue to blink for 30 seconds. The reader is ready for use when the yellow LED is steadily on. The reader sounds a short triple beep every 5 seconds and the red LED also flashes every 5 seconds.
