1 This document

This document contains all the information which is needed when installing the Sirius iX30. The details and recommendations will be described in the chapters below.


2 General

2.1 Wiring

2.2 Tools and equipment

When installing the Sirius iX30, the following tools or materials may be needed.

  • T-568B, or another cable which meets the requirements as specified in chapter 4.4:

  • Wire side cutter

  • Electric wire ferrule

  • Crimping tool

  • Flathead screwdriver

  • Drilling machine (if mounted on a surface)

  • 2x 6MM plug

  • 2x with the plug corresponding screw (screwhead must be 6mm at least).

2.3 accessory

The following accessories are available for the Sirius iX30

2.3.1 Spacers

2.3.2 Celrubber

Celrubber is strongly recommended if the Sirius iX30 (with or without spacer) is mounted directly to an outside surface. It offers both more protection and a smoother mounting in the event of an uneven surface.


3 Installation

3.1 Measurements

3.2 Location

The Sirius iX30 card reader is suitable for indoor and outdoor usage.

  • Determine the location where the Sirius iX30 card reader should be installed. Please notices that there is a maximum cable length, depending on the output, between the card reader and the door controller chapter 4.4.4. Exception: by using an external power supply, the achievable distance can be increased.

  • Keep a minimum distance of 20cm between Sirius iX30 card readers.

  • The Sirius iX30 should preferably not be installed directly on metal. In the event that this is necessary, please use a spacer (see chapter 3.3.1) to achieve better performance.

  • The Sirius iX30 should not be mounted higher than two meters

3.3 Mounting steps

Mount the card reader preferably on a flat surface.

  • Drill two holes for mounting the backplate on the preferred location. 2x6mm holes intended for plugs in case of a stone surface. 2x3mm in case of a wooden surface.

  • Pull the cable through the backplate (and spacer, if applicable).

  • Fasten the backplate on the surface with adequate screws. The head of the screws must be at least 6mm wide. Please notice that the screw hole of the card reader must be placed on the underside.

  • Remove the 9-pins connector from the front plate

  • Connect the cable to the connector. See chapter 5.4.

  • Click the connector back on the front plate

  • Put the front plate of the Sirius card reader on top of the backplate and smoothly close the front plate. A click should be heard when both plates are attached.


4 Sirius iX30

The Sirius iX30 is an versatile and multifunctional card reader with measurements which fits perfectly on doorposts. Depending on the application, the configuration, and there with the output, can vary.

4.1 Configurations

*since clock/data is an standard, the Sirius iX30 should work by default on third party controllers which upports the clock/data communication protocol. We strongly recommend to test it on forehand.

The output differs per card type:

TKH Security Mifare Classic:

  • 4 digits system code e.g.: 1234

  • 4 digits card number e.g.: 6789

Result as output: 12346789

TKH Security Mifare DESFire:

  • 6 digits system code e.g.: 123456

  • 6 digits card number e.g.: 789012

Result as output: 123456789012

4.1.2 801-5302 CSN

The Sirius iX30 reads both 4 byte and 7 byte CSN simultaneously and works by default at the following devices:

*7byte CSN cannot be processed by the Orbit!

**since clock/data is an standard, the Sirius iX30 should work by default on third party controllers which supports the clock/data communication protocol. We strongly recommend to test it on forehand.

The output differs per card type:

4Byte CSN:

  • 10 digits CSN

Result as output: 1234567890

7Byte CSN:

  • 17 digits CSN

Result as output: 12345678901234567

4.1.3 801-5303 Programmable

The Sirius iX30 801-5303 programmable does not contain any configuration by default. Programming the Sirius iX30 depends on the connection/protocol.

Reader configuration file:
A by the Hardware Controll Applet generated reader file which determines the exactly configuration. This can be distributed central through iProtect.

  • Create reader configuration file

  • Upload the file per line

Detailed information can be found in the manual: TKH_Security_HardwareControllApplet.

Configuration card:
A customer specific card which can be ordered by TKH Security which writes down the configuration into the card reader.

  • Connect the card reader

  • Switch on the power. The card readers LED turns into BLUE

  • Present the configuration card and wait until the card reader restarts.

  • The card readers LED turns into RED. The configuration is complete

4.2 Sticker

The Sirius iX30 is provided with two stickers

at the carton:

at the reader:

Disposing of the Sirius iX30 card reader must be done in an environment friendly surrounding

4.3 Interfaces

The following interfaces are by default available on the Sirius iX30.

4.4 Connections

*The Sirius iX30 accepts a power between 5.0 and 16.0 VDC. A higher input voltage results in lower power consumption and ensuring cost-efficient wiring with a smaller conductor diameter. When using an external power supply, it must comply with SELV guidelines.

Advised to power the reader with a power supply that can supply a minimum of 5W to a maximum of 15W. If the reader is powered by a power supply with a power higher than 15W, a fuse of 500mA must be placed by the installer.

DIP Switch-1 is used to determine the RS485 resistance.

4.4.1 RS485 Directly

Recommended cable type between the a Orion or Polyx and the Sirius iX30 card reader is:

  • CAT 5 UTP four twisted pairs of 24AWG copper conductors

  • CAT 6 UTP four twisted pairs of 24AWG copper conductor

A direct connection (without using an Adapterboard) between the Sirius card reader and a door controller based on RS485â„¢ is NOT possible when:

  • Sirius and door controllerâ„¢ 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 5.4.2.

4.4.2 RS485 via 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 Orion or Polyx and the Sirius iX30 card reader.

Adapterboard is connected with the door controller with a default UTP cat5 cable (or higher) (plug connection).

  • Connect GND of the Adapterboard to the local earth.

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

possible connection of the Sirius iX30 on the Adapterboard

Do not place any jumpers! For more information. See the Adapterboard-IM manual.

4.4.3 Clock/data- Wiegand

Recommended cable type between the Orion or Orbit and Sirius iX30 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

4.4.4 Cable lengths if connected directly to Orion

4.4.5 Cable lengths generic

*Please be sure that the cable used for RS485, is suitable for the RS485 protocol.
Please take into account that the power supply at the reader must be between 5-16 VDC.
