VisAccess RDR-2/RDM-2

External 26-Bit Wiegand Proximity Readers

Installation Guide

1. INTRODUCTION

The RDM-2 (Mullion type) and RDR-2 are external proximity

readers, compatible with the Prox-in-a-Box (PIAB) access control

system. The system is designed to limit access to restricted

areas, while permitting authorized people to enter.

The readers are 26-bit Wiegand compatible proximity readers

and can be used with any other compatible access control

system.

It is recommended to install the readers on a wall outside the

protected area, and the PIAB control unit inside the protected

area.

Proximity access cards or tags are used as keys to open these

doors. When in the presence of the readers, the access card

emits a coded RF signal that is read by the proximity reader.

The RDR-2/RDM-2 then

forwards this signal to the

PIAB control unit. The control

unit verifies that the card is

valid and makes the decision

as to whether it should

energize an output relay that

releases the lock. All activity

involving the proximity readers

is recorded and logged.

guide and installation instructions.

3. MOUNTING

Mount the proximity reader outside the door on the wall or door

frame. The RDR-2/RDM-2 comes with a 1m (3 ft) wire lead.

To mount the proximity reader:

A. Insert a screwdriver into the recess at the bottom or top of the

case, and separate the cover from the reader.

B. Place the base on the installation surface, mark two screw

holes, drill the holes, and insert plastic anchors, if necessary.

Figure 2. RDM-2 Mounting

C. Fasten the base to the mounting surface, using two screws.

D. Replace the reader’s cover, ensuring that the cover is aligned

with the reader. This enables the LED to be visible.

Figure 3. RDR-2 Mounting

Note: Do not install the RDR-2/RDM-2 on a metal surface or a

metal door frame, since this decreases the read range

significantly. If you have to install the reader on a metal surface,

use a spacer so that the reader will be at least 1 cm (3/8 in.)

away from the metal. You may use RDR BACK (for RDR-2) or

RDM-BACK (for RDM-2) which is an optionally available spacer

made specifically for this purpose.

Note: When installing more than one reader, the distance

between the readers should be at least 60 cm (2 ft.), to ensure

proper operation.
