SC-2300 1 -5- 2/5/2007 INTRODUCTION AWID's Sentinel-Prox SC-2300 Reader is a versatile smart card/smart label reader for switch plate mounting. This Reader will provide simultaneous Wiegand and RS-232 output formats. Its primary applications are Access Control and Time & Attendance applications. 1.1 o o o o 1.
SC-2300 -6- 2/5/2007 read the card. In order to read again, the card must be fully withdrawn from the Reader’s field of surveillance and then re-approached again. During normal operation, the card can be presented at any angle relative to the Reader, however this will result in slight variation of read range. Note: Do not "wave" the card in front of the Reader. "Waving" the card in front of the Reader will result in a diminished read range. 3 PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION 3.
SC-2300 -7- 2/5/2007 All the Reader wiring must be continuously shielded. AWID recommends using #22 AWG up to #18 AWG, six or seven-conductor shielded cables. Longer distances and higher current consumption on the power supply line will require larger gauge wires. Refer to Table 4.4-1 and Figure 5.2-1 and Figure 5.2-2 on the following pages to determine your data lines’ wiring requirement. Due to system data termination differences, contact your panel manufacturer for their specific requirements.

SC-2300 - 10 - 2/5/2007 4.2 INSTALLATION STEPS 1. Prepare the single-gang electrical wiring box for Reader mounting. Observe ADA requirements. 2. If double-gang electrical box is used, drill through the four blind mounting holes on the four corners of the Reader. 3. Guide the open end of the Panel’s control cable through the access hole on the electrical junction box. Secure the cable by tightening the cable clamp. 4. Remove the Snap-On cover of the Reader (item b of the parts list) 5.
SC-2300 - 11 - 2/5/2007 Panel sends an acknowledgement or until the card is removed from the reader. You can repeat this action by placing the card in front of the reader after the LED turned RED. If the Panel did not send a logic “HIGH” LED (brown) command to the reader, the reader will “latched” and must be powered off to re initialize. 4.4 MOUNTING 1. Connect the remaining wires to the Panel. 2.
SC-2300 • • • • - 12 - 2/5/2007 Is the card presented correctly? - Card face parallel to reader face Is a power supply correct? - No switching power supply please! Is reader voltage/current correct? - 7-12V @ 85-95mA typical Is the environment free from electromagnetic interference? - Run cable away from other data carrying cables, reader away from electromagnetic interference sources! When troubleshooting, try to identify the source of the problem to a unit level.
