2.0 Mounting Instructions
2.1 Wall Mounting
Three holes need to be drilled to mount the MiniStar Reader (see Figure 1). One large hole (0.875"
– 7/8") accommodates the beeper and the reader cable. Two small holes are for mounting the reader
on a wall surface (hole size is dependent upon the size of the mounting screw).
2.2 J-BOX Mounting
The MiniStar Reader may be mounted in a J-Box rather like a power socket or light switch. The J-
Box may be plastic or metal. However if it is metal, there must be a separation of at least 1/2"
between the rim of the J-Box and the reader to ensure optimum reader operation.
NOTE: Do not mount the reader near sources of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) such as a
computer monitor. EMI degrades a reader's read range.
3.0 Connections
The MiniStar Reader does not require configuration; there are no switches or jumpers to set. The
MiniStar Reader is normally connected to a PXL-250, PXL-100, or IntelliProx, but can be
connected to an alternative host controller/alarm panel through an IntelliProx used in its Wiegand
input device mode. All connections needed to support the reader are made through the reader's
cable. Please consult the tables on pages 2 and 3 for specific connection instructions.
