Types of Proximity Readers available

The Aritech range of proximity readers are fully compatible with the Challenger Panel and Access Controllers, as access control devices at strategic locations. Once connected the readers can be programmed to operate in a variety of ways based on the many possibilities available through the Challenger system’s programming options.

Hill's range of HID proximity readers are mostly compatible with the Challenger Panel and Access Controllers, as access control devices at strategic locations (please check to ensure compatibility). Once connected and the LED control is sorted out, the readers can be programmed to operate in a variety of ways based on the many possibilities available through the Challenger system’s programming options. Please note: HID Readers need to be pulled high to get LED’s to work.

What products the Readers can be wired up to

TS0862 Smart Door Controller

The Smart Door Controller has an offline database and can be connected to the Challenger LAN. An alternative to the larger Intelligent Four Door Controller, this unit is ideal for access to areas where an offline database for emergencies is important, for a limited number of access control doors or as an expansion unit to the Intelligent Four Door Controller.

TS0867 Intelligent Four Door Controller

An intelligent access control and alarm monitoring unit designed to control access to four doors. The TS0867 supports many reader formats, including magnetic swipe and proximity readers. A host of programming options for the Intelligent Four Door Controller offers a level of customisation not found in other access control panels. If IUM is installed, reader formats can be mixed on Four Door Controller. You can not mix swipe and proximity readers on the one Four Door Controller.

TS0869 Intelligent Four Lift Controller

The Lift Controller is a powerful controller for extensive multi level buildings requiring floor access control. The TS0869 handles four lifts and access to 64 floors on each lift.

Wiring Wiegand/Prox Readers to Smart Door Controllers

RJ45 Pins	Weigand	Definition
1	BZ	Open collector output to control Reader beeper if fitted. (Blue wire)
2	L2	Open collector output to control Reader LED. (Orange wire)
3	L1	Open collector output to control Reader LED. (Brown)
4	D1	Data 1's connection to Reader. (White wire)
5	D0	Data 0's connection to Reader. (Green wire)
6	0V	-VE Power Supply connection to Reader. (Black)
7	+	+5Volt or +12Volt Power Supply connection to Reader. (100mA max. at 5Volts for 2 seconds and 75mA constant.)(Red Wire)
8	EG	Input connection for door Egress (Exit) button. Shorting EG to 0V will activate Egress. (i.e. Egress Button requires Normally Open contacts). Connecting this input to the Button Interface (TS0864 EIP Connection-see page 8) will provide In/Out button inputs including the Egress button function.(Violet wire)

Wiring connection for Hughes Miniprox Reader to Smart Door Controller

The following cables - +DC, Ground, Shield Ground, Data0 and Data1 are required for Wiegand Operation. All others (Green LED, Red LED, Beeper and Hold) are optional.

Programming on Four Door/Lift Controller (No IUM)

The Reader Format Type can be selected from the available list on Challenger -> Intelligent Access Controller -> Door -> Reader Options

Programming Prox Readers with IUM

Titan needs to know that IUM is installed. Go to Admin -> Challenger and tick IUM Installed Box.

Titan needs to then know what reader format is going to be used. If reader format is not listed below, select “User Defined”.

If Prox Reader is attached to a Smart Door Controller, a six digit site code and offset needs to be assigned in Challenger -> System Options -> System Options Part 3.

If Prox Reader is attached to a Four Door/Lift Controller, the site code and offset needs to be assigned in Challenger -> Intelligent Access Controller -> Controllers -> Controller.
