- 1 Introduction
- The Gallagher T21 PIV Reader is a contact card and smart card proximity reader. The reader's contact slot reads PIV card data, for PIV PIN validation.
- The reader connects to a Gallagher Controller 6000 High Spec PIV (C305101). The reader sends information to the Controller and acts upon information sent from the Controller. The reader itself does not make any access decisions.
- The reader can be mounted on a rectangular 50 mm x 75 mm (2 in x 3 in) flush box, a BS 4662 British Standard square flush box, or any solid flat surface.
- The reader is available in two variants. The supported card technologies, available functionality and compatibility for both variants is shown in the table below.
- * MIFARE DESFire EV2 is supported from vEL7.70.
- The following is not supported by the T21 PIV Reader:
- • PIV PIN to PACS
- • PIN is User Code (for PIV card access)
- • Duress (for PIV card access)
- Note: To view the vHT software version used by the reader, press and hold the '#' key for 3 seconds.

- 2.2 Power supply
- 2.3 Cabling
- HBUS cabling topology
- The HBUS communications protocol is based on the RS485 standard and allows the reader to communicate over a distance of up to 500 m (1640 ft).
- The cabling between HBUS devices should be done in a "daisy chain" topology, (i.e. A "T" or "Star" topology should not be used between devices). Should "Star" or "Home-Run" wiring be required, the HBUS 4H/8H Modules and the HBUS Door Module allow mult...
- The end devices on the HBUS cable should be terminated using 120 ohms resistance. To terminate the Controller, connect the supplied on-board termination jumpers to the Controller. To terminate the Gallagher T21 PIV Reader, connect the orange (terminat...
- Cable distance
- * The matching of wire sizes to equivalent wire gauges are only approximate.
- ** Recommended cable types for optimal HBUS RS485 performance.
- *** Tested with 13.6V at start of cable
- Notes:
- • Shielded cable may reduce the obtainable cable length. Shielded cable should be grounded at the Controller end only.
- • If other cable types are used, operating distances and performance may be reduced depending on the cable quality.
- • The recommendation for optimal performance is up to 20 x T21 PIV Readers can be connected to one Controller. Of these 20 readers, up to 4 could be configured for alarm zone (or fence controller) management.
- A reader is configured for alarm zone management when it has either Alarm Zones configured on the Alarm Zones properties page or items configured upon its mimic panel.

- 4 Installation
- The Gallagher T21 PIV Reader can be mounted on:
- • a vertical, rectangular 50 mm x 75 mm (2 in x 3 in) flush box
- • a BS 4662 British Standard square flush box
- • any solid flat surface
- The recommended mounting height for the reader is 1.1 m (3.6 ft) from the floor level to the centre of the reader. However, this may vary in some countries and you should check local regulations for variations to this height. Notes:
- • Installation on metal surfaces, particularly those with a large surface area will reduce read range. The extent to which the range is reduced will depend upon the type of metal surface.
- • When mounting on a flush box, the corner screws must be used as well as the flush box screws. Without corner screws the top of the product is vulnerable to separation from the wall.
- • Over-tightening the bottom flush / gang box mounting screw of the T21 PIV Reader can deform the reader plastic, causing the reader to not respond to inserted PIV cards. This is more likely to occur where there is a gap between the back of the reader...
- / gang box. Gallagher recommends tightening the flush / gang box mounting screws to slightly more than hand tight firmness only.
- 1. Ensure the building cable has been run out through the flush box.
- If you are not mounting to a flush box, use the reader bezel as a guide, to drill all five holes. Drill the 13 mm (1/2 inch) diameter centre hole (this is the centre hole for which the building cable will exit the mounting surface) and the four corner...
- Note: There is no room for the building cable to be squeezed into the reader bezel. The building cable must remain within the flush box or wall cavity.
- 2. Run the building cable through the reader bezel.
- 3. Secure the bezel to the flush box using the two screws provided.
- When securing the bezel to a vertical, rectangular flush box, use the 6-32 UNC screws provided. When securing the bezel to a BS 4662 British Standard square flush box, use the M3.5 screws provided.
- 4. Drill pilot holes for the four corner fixing holes and the tamper tab.
- 5. Secure the bezel to the mounting surface using the four corner fixing screws provided.
- 6. Secure the tamper tab (located in the bezel) to the mounting surface using the remaining fixing screw provided. It is important the four corner fixing screws are used to ensure the reader is flush with and tight against the mounting surface.
- Note: It is strongly recommended that you use the screws provided. If an alternative screw is used, the head must be no larger nor deeper than that of the screw provided.
- 7. The reader connects to a Gallagher Controller 6000 High Spec PIV, a Gallagher 4H/8H HBUS Module (attached to the Controller 6000 High Spec PIV), or a Gallagher HBUS Door Module (connected to a Controller 6000 High Spec PIV).
- Unplug the reader's terminal block from the PCB. Connect the wires from the building cable to the terminal block as shown. Plug the terminal block back into the PCB.
- HBUS connection: HBUS connection terminated:
- If the reader is the end device on the HBUS cable, terminate the reader by connecting a short piece of wire between terminals T and A.
- 8. Secure the reader cable using the cable retention peg, as shown in the following diagram. Plug the reader cable into the connector.
- 9. Fit the facia assembly into the bezel by clipping the small lip, into the top of the bezel and holding the top, press the bottom of the facia assembly down into the bezel.
- 10. Insert the M3 Torx Post Security screw (using a T10 Torx Post Security screwdriver) through the hole below the reader facia.
- Note: The Torx Post Security screw needs only to be lightly tightened.
- 11. Removal of the facia assembly is a simple reversal of these steps.
- Hint: After removal of the security screw, press the top of the facia. The bottom of the facia will exit the reader bezel. Alternatively, carefully use an electrical screwdriver to lever the bottom of the facia away from the bezel.

- 13. The reader's contact card slot is rated for 100,000 card insertions. Should the reader's contact card slot become blocked or wear over time, a replacement bezel including the contact card reader (C305285 or C305286) can be purchased.
- 5 Screen brightness
- When the reader is in use the screen brightness will be set to full. If the reader hasn't been used for 30 seconds, the screen brightness is dimmed. If the reader hasn't been used for 30 minutes, the screen is turned off.
- Note: The reader screen can be set to on at all times ('Always on' setting enabled on the HBUS Contact Card Reader item's property page in Command Centre). If this setting is enabled, the reader's screen will not turn off after 30 minutes, but will di...
