1 The product

The Sirius i-series LEGIC card reader is a versatile card reader which supports the LEGIC card read protocol.

This manual provides the necessary information concerning the installation instructions, mounting and use of the card reader which is supplied as standard.

The Sirius i-series LEGIC card reader:

1.1 Sticker i-serie

On the back of the card reader a sticker placed.
This sticker features a QR code.
After scanning this QR code, all necessary information will be downloaded automatically.

 

1.2 Spacers

The spacer is designed for the following purpose. It can make the card reader more robust for external influences but it can also be useful when installing the Sirius card reader on existing plants.

801-6121: Sirius i80L(p) outside mounting spacer

1.3 Reader configuration

When using the Sirius i-serie, the following LEGIC configuration is possible. The configuration is described in the paragraph below.

Remark: For more information about the additional options, please contact your contact at TKH Security.

Remark: The Sirius-i80LP (Pincode) card reader will only work in combination with a Polyx door controller.

1.3.1 LEGIC prime programmable

Part number:

  • I80L 801-5131

  • I80Lp 801-5132

Standard communication:

  • An Polyx based on RS485

  • An Orbit based on Clock/Data or Wiegand.

Output length when using Clock/Data, Wiegand, RS485:

  • Depending on the card data and programmed settings.

Standard LED function

  • When the reader is provided with power, the LED color is red.

  • When the LED connection is switched to GND, the LED color is green.

Standard IO function:

  • A standard configured card reader does not use the extra IO functionality. When this function is needed, you need to order another card reader.

Programmable:

  • The card reader is programmable with the supplied program tool. For more information, see the Sirius program tool manual.

2 Installation and use

By the use of ferrite, the card reader is insensitive to be installed on a metal surface

2.1 Location

  • Determine the location where the Sirius card reader should be installed. There is a maximum cable length between the reader and door controller.

  • Exception: using an external power supply, you can increase the achievable distance between the door controller and card reader.

  • Install the reader with a minimum lateral distance of 20 cm from each other.

2.2 Mounting instructions

Mount the card reader preferably on an outlet

  • Pull the cable through the mounting plate of the Sirius reader.

  • The screw hole of the card reader should be placed on the underside.

  • Mount the back plate of the card reader to the outlet, using the existing screws.

  • When not removed, remove the orange colored film of the Buzzer

  • Click the front of the card reader at the top of the mounting plate

  • Attach the front of the card reader to the mounting plate with the supplied 'special mounting bolts.

2.3 Use of the i80L/P

When entering the PIN code, the finger must be released at least 1 cm from the panel before the next digit is entered.

3 Connection

Remark! Depending on the configuration of the card reader, the inputs and outputs of the
card reader can be used.

Remark! Depending on the configuration of the card reader, the inputs and outputs of the
card reader can be used.

3.1 Sirius i80L connector lay-out

  • Connect the cable as shown in this chapter

  • Mount the back plate of the card reader to the appropriate place.
    If placed on a stone wall, drill two 6mm holes intended for the plugs.
    If placed on a wooden surface, drill two 3mm holes.

  • The screw hole of the card reader should be placed on the underside. (see Picture 4)

  • Pull the cable through the mounting plate (and the spacer, if applicable) of the Sirius reader.

  • Screw the back plate of the reader with adequate screws. The head of the screw must be at least 6 mm wide.

  • When not removed, remove the orange colored film of the Buzzer.

  • Click the front of the card reader at the top of the mounting plate

  • Attach the front of the card reader to the mounting plate with the supplied 'special mounting bolt.

3 Connection

Remark! Depending on the configuration of the card reader, the inputs and outputs of the card reader can be used.

3.1 Sirius i80L connector lay-out

  • Connect the cable as shown in this chapter

The reader accepts a supply voltage of 5.0 - 16.0 VDC.
A higher input voltage results in a lower power consumption and provide cost-effective wiring with a smaller diameter of the conductor.
When using an external power supply, it must comply with the SELV guidelines.

3.2 If door controller Polyx™v

The Sirius card reader can be connected in two ways with the Polyx ™: directly or by using an Adapterboard

For optimal communication, it is recommended to have the latest version of one of the following operating system

  • 2.6 JFSS2

  • 3.3 UbiFS

Remark! Browse to the polyx to see the version information.

3.2.1 Direct connection (RS485)v

Recommended cable type between a Polyx and the Sirius card reader is: (see Section 4.1 for more information)

  • CAT5 UTP four twisted pairs of 24AWG copper conductors

  • CAT6 UTP four twisted pairs of 24AWG copper conductors

A direct connection (without using an Adapterboard) between the Sirius card reader and a Polyx™ is NOT possible when:

  • Sirius and Polyx™ are installed in different buildings and thus the connection leaves the building or

  • the wiring is no UTP cable (CAT5 or CAT6) or

  • an existing (non UTP) cable is reused or

  • overvoltage protection for the card reader is required or

  • An external power supply is required for the card reader.

If any of the above conditions applies, see chapter 3.2.2.

Polyx, directly connected to a Sirius card reader:

3.2.2 Connection using an Adapterboard

Recommended cable type between a Polyx and the Sirius card reader, using an Adapterboard is:

  • Shielded cable with twisted pairs

If a direct connection is not possible, an Adapterboard must be placed between Polyx and the Sirius card reader.
Adapterboard and Polyx are connected with a default UTP cat5 cable (or higher) (plug connection).

Connecting wires as shown in the diagrams below.

  • Connect GND of the Adapterboard to the local Earth.

  • Connect the shield of the ground cable to the GND connection of the Adapterboard.

Do not place any jumpers! For more information see the Adapterboard manual..

 

3.3 If door controller Orbit

Recommended cable type between the Orbit and Sirius card reader:

  • CKY 3x2x0,14mm²

  • CKY 4x2x0,14mm²

  • CAT5 UTP four twisted pairs of 24AWG copper conductors

  • CAT6 UTP four twisted pairs of 24AWG copper conductors
