2.2 Power supply
The Gallagher T21 PIV Reader is designed to operate over a supply voltage range of 9 - 16 Vdc
measured at the readers terminals. The operang current draw is dependent on the supply
voltage at the reader.
The power source should be linear or a good quality switched-mode power supply.
The performance of the reader may be aected by a low quality, noisy power supply.
2.3 Cabling
The Gallagher T21 PIV Reader requires a minimum cable size of 4 core 24 AWG (0.2 mm
2
)
stranded security cable. This cable allows the transmission of data (2 wires) and power (2 wires).
When using a single cable to carry both power supply and data, both the power supply voltage
drop and data requirements must be considered. Although the reader is specied to operate at
9 Vdc, for good engineering design it is recommended that the voltage at the reader should be
approximately 12 Vdc.
HBUS cabling topology
The HBUS communicaons protocol is based on the RS485 standard and allows the reader to
communicate over a distance of up to 500 m (1640 ).
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 mulple HBUS devices to
be individually wired to the one physical locaon.
The end devices on the HBUS cable should be terminated using 120 ohms resistance. To
terminate the Controller, connect the supplied on-board terminaon jumpers to the Controller.
To terminate the Gallagher T21 PIV Reader, connect the orange (terminaon) wire to the green
(HBUS A) wire. Terminaon is already included at the HBUS Module, (i.e. each HBUS port is
permanently terminated at the module).
