1 Introduction The VR20M-MFand VR50M-MF are mullion-mount card readers with modern anti-hacking security over OSDP and support for the traditional Wiegand protocol. When installed as part of a secure system over OSDP, the communication from the reader or the controller they are connected to cannot be compromised. The readers are made of hard wearing materials and will endure most weather conditions. The readers are easy to mount and can be mounted on a flat surface.

5 Mounting and connecting The mullion readers are surface-mounted readers. The readers can be mounted with cables led through the back of the unit or led in from either side through knockout gaps. For wiring details please refer to: l Connecting the cables on page 13. 5.1 Mounting a reader To ensure a close fit, mount the reader on a flat surface. To attach the base to a surface: 1. Make a small hole in the back of the base gasket (item1 in the diagram below).
Mullion Reader – User Manual Mounting and connecting 5.2 Mounting a reader with cables fed from the side If the cables are fed from the side: 1. Remove the gasket from the base. 2. Identify which of the knockouts the cables should be fed through. 3. Use a pliers to pull the knockout away from the base. 4. Remove the corresponding knockout on the cover. © Vanderbilt 2019 11 A-100410-b 15.04.
Mullion Reader – User Manual Mounting and connecting 5. Attach the base to the wall with three screws: one in the middle at the top of the base and one in each of the corners at the bottom of the base. 1 Tamper base 2 Tamper screw 6. If tamper protection is required, fix the screw into the hole on the tamper base. Do not over tighten the screw as this can damage the tamper base. 7. Feed the cables through the opening and reinsert the gasket.
Mullion Reader – User Manual Mounting and connecting 5.3 Connecting the cables 5.3.1 Connecting the reader in OSDP mode Use the terminal block marked +-BA (see number 2 in Package contents on page 9 and a pair of twisted screened cable to connect the cables in OSDP mode. 1. Attach the cables according to the respective indicators on the second, +-BA terminal block (lower terminal block) and the base: Reader Controller + +12V - 0V B B A A 2.
Mullion Reader – User Manual Mounting and connecting 5.3.2 Connecting the reader in Wiegand mode Use the terminal blocks marked +-BA and RY/TGH and a pair of twisted screened cables (4 pairs + screen), such as Belden 9502 to connect the reader in Wiegand mode. 1. Attach the cables according to the respective indicators on the communication and power terminal block (+-BA terminal block (lower terminal block)): Reader Controller + +12V - 0V B Wiegand D1 A Wiegand D0 2.
Mullion Reader – User Manual Mounting and connecting 3. Insert the ridge on the end of the upper or lower terminal block into the corresponding slot. 4. Gently push the terminal block towards the base until it clicks. 5. Remove the Jumper 3 (see the diagram in Connecting the cables on page 13). Jumper 3 is used to determine EOL. By default the reader has EOL ON. EOL is always off in Wiegand mode. Please note that you must set the Jumpers to configure your application.
Mullion Reader – User Manual Mounting and connecting 5.4 Setting the Jumpers There are three jumpers inside the front of the reader. Use the jumpers to set the reader to OSDP or Wiegand mode, to set OSDP Addressing or Wiegand format, and to set the End Of Line (EOL) status for the reader. 1 Set reader to OSDP or Wiegand mode 2 Set OSDP addressing or Wiegand formats 3 Set End Of Line (EOL) status for the reader * This indicates the bottom of the reader 5.
Mullion Reader – User Manual Mounting and connecting Jumper 1 is ON to select OSDP. Jumper 2 l Jumper 2 is ON the first two pins for OSDP Address 1. l Jumper 2 is ON the bottom two pins for OSDP Address 2. l Jumper 2 is OFF for OSDP Programmable Address. Jumper 3 l Jumper 3 is ON to enable EOL. l Jumper 3 is OFF to disable EOL. 5.
Mullion Reader – User Manual Mounting and connecting If the existing installation uses 26 Bit Wiegand, you must follow the additional procedure to program the reader to transmit in Reverse Mode 26 Bit Wiegand. For more information, please refer to: l Reverse mode Wiegand on the next page. Only one of the two modes may be configured at a time.
Mullion Reader – User Manual Mounting and connecting Jumper 2 l Jumper 2 is ON the first two pins for Wiegand 32 bit. l Jumper 2 is ON the bottom two pins for Wiegand 56 bit. l Jumper 2 is OFF for Wiegand 37 bit. Jumper 3 l Jumper 3 is OFF to disable EOL. l Jumper 3 is always OFF in Wiegand mode. 5.7 Reverse mode Wiegand Some installations may require transmission in Reverse Mode for 26 Bit Wiegand, 32 Bit Wiegand or 56 Bit Wiegand.
Mullion Reader – User Manual Mounting and connecting 5.8 Programming a reader for reverse mode transmission To provide backwards compatibility to V1.08, V1.09, and V1.12 Mullion readers, you can program the reader for Reverse mode transmission. 1.
