Power Supply
The Gallagher T11 Reader is designed to operate over a supply voltage range
of 9 - 16 Vdc measured at the reader terminals. The opera ng current draw is
dependant on the supply voltage at the reader. For the Mifare reader at 12 Vdc the
current draw is 90 mA (standby). During card read, beeper and LED ac vity, the
current will momentarily reach 125 mA (peak). For the Mul Tech reader at 12 Vdc
the current draw is 90 mA (standby) and will momentarily reach 140 mA (peak).
The power source should be linear or a good quality switched-mode power supply.
The performance of the reader may be a
ff
ected by a low quality, noisy power supply.
Cabling
The Gallagher T11 Reader requires a minimum cable size of 4 core 24 AWG
(0.2 mm
2
) stranded security cable. This cable allows the transmission of data
(2 wires) and power (2 wires). When using a single cable to carry both power
supply and data, both the power supply voltage drop and data requirements must
be considered. Although the reader is speci
fi
ed to operate at 9 Vdc, for good
engineering design it is recommended that the voltage at the reader should be
approximately 12 Vdc.
