HOW TO MOUNT THE READER
Figure 1 shows the front view of the OmniProx.
When mounting models OP10/20/30/40/45, the
snap-off cover must be removed to access the screw
holes.
The model OP90 uses a security screw on the
bottom of the reader to secure the cover. Remove
this security screw using the supplied tool. Then
slide the back plate down slightly and then lift it up
from the bottom. Select the desired mounting holes
and drill them out.
Mount the reader with the appropriate screws (not
supplied) as indicated on the template.
To surface mount the reader, perform the following:
1. Determine an appropriate mounting position
for the reader.
2. Peel off the back of the self-stick mounting label
template included with the unit and place at
the desired mounting position. (Additional
templates can be downloaded from
www.omniprox.com.)
3. Using the template as a guide, drill two holes
(hole size is indicated on mounting template) for
mounting the reader to the surface.
4. Drill a 1/2” (13 mm) hole for the cable. If
mounting on metal, place a grommet or
electrical tape around the edge of the hole.
5. Route the interface cable from the reader and/or
power supply to the host. A linear type power
supply is recommended.
Check all electrical codes for proper installation.

Card Reader Models OP10/20/30/40/45/90 are to be
used with control panels whose power supply is UL
listed Class 2 or equivalent.
HOW TO CONNECT THE READER TO THE HOST
The OmniProx Reader is supplied with an 18-inch
pigtail, having a 6-conductor cable. To connect the
reader to the host, perform the following steps:
1. Prepare both the reader cable and host cables
by cutting the cable jacket back 1¼ inches and
strip the wires ½ inch.
2. Splice the reader pigtail wires to the
corresponding host wires and cover each
connection (see Figure 2).
3. If the tamper output is being utilized, connect
the purple wire to the correct input on the host.
4. Trim and cover all conductors that are not used.
Figure 2 below shows how you should wire the
reader to the host.
Wiring Notes:
1.
The individual wires coming out of the reader are color
coded according to the recommended Wiegand standard.
2.
If either 5 or 12 volts are available, use 12 volts for better
performance.
3. When using a separate power suppl
y for the reader, the
reader, power supply and host must have a common
ground.
4.
The recommended cable depends on the distance from the
reader to the host. See Table 1 on the next page for the
correct wire gage based upon distance. Larger wire
gauges are acc
eptable. The wire must be stranded with an
overall shield, either foil or braided. If the tamper is not
being used, 5 conductor cable is required; otherwise 6
