Setting up the Reader

Table 3 on page 8 indicates the wiring for units with keypads.
Grounding and Shielding
Single RM Reader
To wire a single RM reader to a RS-485 controller port:
1. When connecting a single RM reader to the reader bus, use twisted pair,
shielded minimum 24 AWG cable. Attach the shield at the controller end.
(Refer to TAB 2010-15 “RM Reader ESD Protection Guidelines.”)
2. Attach a local earth ground (18 or 22 gauge) wire to the J5 component on
the reader.
Multiple RM Bus devices
To update multiple RM Bus devices on a single RS-485 port:
1. Attach the shields along the bus together (insulate each connection). Snip
off the shield wire at the end of the bus. See Figure 5 on page 9.
2. Attach the shield to the ground at only one point – at the ground stud inside
the controller
3. Attach a local earth ground (18 or 22 gauge) wire to the J5 component on
the RM reader.
