1. General

The Sirius iX30-IK card reader is a versatile card reader which support multiple card technologies and communication protocols used in access control solutions. In addition, the Sirius iX30-IK is able to support different technologies simultaneously.

1.1 Wiring

This document assumes standard T-568-B color coding of the cables.

1.2 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

• Torq screwdriver

• Drilling machine

• 4x 6mm plugs

• 4x with the plug corresponding screws (screwhead must be 10mm at least)

1.3 Accessory

The following accessories are available for the Sirius iX30-IK

2. Installation

To ensure proper functioning of the equipment, the environment of the Sirius iX30-IK must be compliant with certain conditions.

2.1 Measurements

2.2 Location

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

• Determine the location where the Sirius iX30-IK 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 3.4.4. Exception: by using an external power supply, the achievable distance can be increased.

• To secure IK10-rating, Sirius iX30-IK must be mounted on a flat surface and fastened with the screws and plugs according to chapter 2.3 mounting steps.

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

• The Sirius iX30-IK should preferably not be installed directly on metal.

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

2.3 Mounting steps

• Drill four holes for mounting the backplate on the preferred location. 4x8mm holes intended for plugs in case of a concrete surface.

• Pull the cable through hole in the backplate. Hole can be enlarged by usage of thicker cable.

• Fasten the backplate on the surface with subscribed screws. The head of the screws must be at least 10mm 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 3.4. 

• 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 together.

• Secure top and bottom plates by two torq screw at the underside of the reader.

3. Sirius IX30-IK

The Sirius iX30-IK is a 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.

3.1 Configurations

The configuration defines which card type is read by default by the Sirius iX30-IK.

3.1.1 801-5401 TKH Coded

 The Sirius iX30-IK TKH coded can both read TKH coded Mifare classic cards and TKH coded Mifare DESFire cards simultaneously and works by default at the following devices.

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

3.1.1.1 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

3.1.2 801-5402 CSN

The Sirius iX30-IK 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-IK should work by default on third party controllers which supports the clock/data communication protocol. We strongly recommend to test it on forehand.

3.1.2.1 Output differs per card type

4Byte CSN:

• 10 digits CSN

Result as output: 1234567890

7Byte CSN:

• 17 digits CSN  

Result as output: 12345678901234567

3.1.3 801-5403 Programmable

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

 Reader configuration file:

A by the Hardware Controll Applet generated reader file which determines the exact 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.

3.2 Sticker

The Sirius iX30-IK is provided with two stickers:

The symbol above and on the product means that the product is classed as Electrical or Electronic equipment and should not be disposed with other household or commercial waste at the end of its useful life. The Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive has been put in place to recycle products using best available recovery and recycling techniques to minimize the impact on the environment, treat and hazardous substances and avoid the increasing landfill. Contact local authorities for information on the correct disposal of Electrical or Electronic equipment.

3.3 Interfaces

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

3.4 Connections

* The Sirius iX30-IK 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

Function	1	2	3	DIP-switch 3: RS485 terminator
DEFAULT	Off	Off	On
Polyx	On	On	Off
Ext.	Off	Off	Off

 3.4.1 RS485 directly

Recommended cable type between the Orion or Polyx and the Sirius iX30-IK 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 Adapter board) between the Sirius card reader and a door controller based on RS485™ is NOT possible when:

• Sirius and door controller™ 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 4.4.2.

3.4.2 RS485 via Adapter board

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

• Shielded cable with twisted pairs.

 If a direct connection is not possible, an Adapter board must be placed between Orion or Polyx and the Sirius iX30-IK card reader.

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

• Connect GND of the Adapter board to the local earth.

• Connect the shield of the ground cable to the GND connection of the Adapter board.

possible connection of the Sirius iX30-IK on the Adapter board.

3.4.3 Clock/data- Wiegand

Recommended cable type between the Orion or Orbit and Sirius iX30-IK 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

3.4.4 Cable lengths if connected directly to Orion

3.4.5 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.
