Matrix-V

General Info

Matrix V is used inAccess Control Systems (ACS) to: - read the serial numbers of various EM-Marine tokens (cards, key fobs etc.) operating on 125 kHz frequency, - accept the radio signals of KeeLoq tokens operating at 433,92 MHz frequency, - transmit the acquired information to the controller using iButton (Dallas Touch Memory), Wiegand-26 or RS-485 standard.

Specifications

Improved EM-Marine cards reading distance up to 50 cm. Ability to read the codes off the radio key fobs based on HCS-300 chip, operating using KeeLoq standard on 433,92 MHz frequency. Reader casing is moisture-proof. RS-485 output allowing to connect the reader to a remote PC via Z-397 converter across very large distances (up to 1,200 m). Each reader has a unique serial number required during its firmware update by the user.

Reader Operation

When the reader is powered on, it requires 3…5 s to initialise itself (indicated by both red and green LEDs being lit). Afterwards, the lone solid red LED indicates that the reader is ready. The reader has internal and external control of audial and visual indication. When indication control is internal:

  • No card in working area: solid red LED; - Card enters the working area: a green flash and a short buzz;

  • Card remains in the working area: no indication.

External indication control is turned on when a signal from controller is detected on any of the indication control inputs. External control is performed by connecting the control wire to common wire. When a token's serial number is read, the green LED will always light up and a 100 ms buzz will sound. The acquired token serial number is transmitted to DATA1 and DATA0 outputs when working via iButton or Wiegand-26, depending on a chosen transmission protocol (Figure 4), or to “Input A” and “Input B” when RS-485 is used (Figure 5). When the reader is connected to a PC by RS-485 protocol via Z-397 series converter, the card standard and Wiegand-26 serial number are displayed in HyperTerminal window. For that, HyperTerminal needs to be set up to work with the reader as the serial port using the following parameters: Baud Rate: 9600, Data Bits: 8, Parity: None, Stop Bits: 1, Flow control: None. To display the device's serial number on the screen, press “I” button on PC keyboard.
