General notes
3 General notes
The data transmission of the system from the user cards to the card readers is
based on a electromagnetic field, which is created around the aerial of the card
reader. If the ID card is approximated to the electromagnetic field of the reader
aerial, it is supplied with energy and sends its personalised data. The data is
received by the reader aerial.
The reading range of the card readers AR618x-MX, depending on the kind of the
arrangement and material the reader is mounted on, is up to 70 mm.
The kind of transponder used (ID card, key fob, etc.) also has an important
influence on the reading distance.
Mind that the card readers are not installed near computer terminals, TV sets, etc.
as these devices might also affect the reading range. If the card reader is mounted
on metal walls or metallized glass surfaces, the distance frame which is included in
the delivery should be used. Please take into account the reading range will
thereby be reduced. More information can be found in chapter 6 Installation.
Installation according to the type of protection IP 65 (using the gaskets which are
included in the delivery). Avoid installing the reader in places where it is subject to
direct sunlight.
The reader has one multicolour LED for the colours yellow, green and red and an
internal buzzer.

Installation
6 Installation
The reader is designed to be wall-mounted on 60 mm flush-mounting boxes. For
surface mounting, the bottom section of the housing can be affixed to the distance
frame supplied.
Notes:
The reader should not be mounted directly onto conductive materials, such as metal surfaces, metal
frames (reinforcement) or metal-plated surfaces, as these surfaces will reduce the reader's range.
The clearance to such surfaces should be at least 30 cm.
If the unit has to be mounted onto a metal surface, the distance frame supplied can be used to
maintain the minimum clearance.
The distance between readers of the same design should not be less than 30 cm.
Before final installation, the planned installation site should be checked for suitability.
You can tell the direction of the distance frame or the bottom section of the housing from the
inscription „TOP “. The arrow must point upwards!

Installation
6.4.1 Power supply
The power is supplied through terminals [+ / ~] and [- / ~]. The unit can run off
12 to 24 V either AC or DC. For DC voltage supply, either polarity can be selected.
Notes:
The length of cable between the power pack and the reader should be kept as short as possible.
The lead must not be laid parallel to other energy supply and low voltage cables.
The minimum supply at the unit must be 10.2 V.
6.4.2 RS485 interface
With RS485 data buses it can be necessary to use terminating resistors. These
checks should be made for each installation. Generally, a terminating resistor is
only required at the end of the bus, i.e. on the last unit. In order to do this, a bridge
needs to be set up between terminals 1 and 2 of terminal X2 (see Fig. 11).
To operate the bus, you need a controller with a terminating resistor and active
termination (see below).

8.2 Information on transponder

The following information can be read from the transponder:
Serial number (for more information please refer to chapter 8.2).
Data from block (direct), e.g. ID number (for more information please refer to
chapter 8.2.2).
Data from sector/block (direct), e.g. ID number (for more information please
refer to chapter 8.2.2).
Data from sector via MAD (indirect), e.g. ID number (for more information
please refer to chapter 8.2.2).
20

8.2.1 Serial number
The serial number is used as ID card number.

The serial number is a unique number of a transponder or a transponder
technology.
The length of the serial number differs depending on the transponder technology.
For more information please refer to chapter 8.1 Qualified transponder types (ID
cards).
The serial number stored in the transponder/ ID card is saved in binary format. The
card reader converts this binary value into a decimal value. The conversion from
binary to decimal is limited to max. 40 bits of the binary value. This means that
serial numbers longer than 40 bits are used only partially, preferably the low-order
40 bits.
A test selection of the higher-order bits can be performed in the card reader. This
test selection helps to avoid the detection of two or several different cards with the
same 40-bit long serial number. Test selection and analysis of the higher-order bits
of a serial number can be performed using UID_MASK and UID_PATTERN (for
more information please refer to chapter 10 under C05 and C06).
The following parameters are required when using the serial number:
UID_OUT With UID_START (higher-order half byte) and

UID_LNG (lower-order half byte),
start byte at which the serial number is used and
number of bytes of the serial number (max. 5 bytes -> 40-bit)
0x05 Use start at byte 0 and 5 byte;

UID_OUT
40 lowest-order bits of the serial number
(e.g. Mifare UltraLight)
0x04 Use start at byte 0 and 5 byte;
32 lowest-order bits of the serial number (e.g. Mifare)
8.2.2 ID number
The ID number is an identification number written to the memory area of the ID

card (= transponders). For this purpose, the writing of an ID number is considered
as personalizing. The ID number can be freely defined and has to be based on the
same system-wide rules.
These rules are in general:
Uniqueness within a system
Standardized structure
Standardized set of values, e.g. only numerical values
Standardized data format; e.g. BCD format (4-bit)
The memory area on the card is defined as a block in the available EEProm
memory of the respective transponder technology. Depending on the transponder
type used, access to the data is via "public mode" (direct addressing of memory
block without access protection) or "safe mode" (direct addressing of memory block
with access protection authentication).
21

The block to be read can be addressed directly (e.g. by block number) or indirectly
to the memory block of the transponder (e.g. in case of Mifare
MifareApplicationDirectory).
Access to a block with written data is to be set with the different configuration
parameters of the card reader AR6181-MX.
Parameters to access a personalized block:
Block address (for more information please refer to chapter 10 under
SL_BLOCK).
Access protection (see above)
Start and end of ID number in block (for more information please refer to
chapter 8.3).
Format of ID number (for more information please refer to chapter 8.3).
Details about the respective parameters are listed in the individual chapters.
8.3 Data formats of the Transponder

The following data formats of the transponder can be used:
Serial number: Binary, max. 40 bits (5-byte)

ID number: BCD (4-bit) format
ASCII (7-bit) format
Wiegand format
8.3.1 BCD format
The BCD format consists of numerical values 0-9 and uses a half byte each
(4-bit). Two values each are saved in one byte of the ID card.
The data stored on the ID card are max. 32 characters long:
00 01 23 45 67 89 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 (Hex)
The length is defined with the parameters ID_START and ID_LEN. For more
information please refer to chapter 10 under ID_START and ID_LEN.
The transfer is carried out per numerical value (in ABA format).
Example:
10 10 10 01 02 13 04 15 16 07 08 19 10 10 10 10 10 . . . . 10 10 10
22

8.3.2 ASCII format
The ASCII format consists of alphanumerical values as defined in the ASCII

(7-bit) table/rule. Depending on the output protocol, the individual characters can
be transferred in two parts as a half byte.
Configuration "UCI-CODING" = 0 ⇒ ASCII (default)

The data stored on the ID card are max. 16 bytes (ASCII):
"1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6" (ASCII)
31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 30 31 32 33 34 36 (Hex)
The length is defined with the parameters ID_START and ID_LEN. For more
information please refer to chapter 10 under ID_START and ID_LEN.
Data are transferred as:
"1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6" (ASCII)
31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 30 31 32 33 34 36 (Hex)
Configuration "UCI-CODING" = 1 ⇒ SIPASS Format

The data stored on the ID card are max. 16 bytes (ASCII):
x x x x A P D 1 2 3 4 5 6 x x V
x: Not relevant
APD: APD number
1 . . 6: ID card number
V: Version number
Data are transferred as:
00S00000APD123456V000
Underlined values are fixed values added by readers (S – 53hex).
8.3.3 Wiegand format
The Wiegand format is a bit-based format where individual blocks are assigned to
certain functions (e.g. facility code, ID number). The content of a block consists of
binary values with defined bit length. For output, the Wiegand format is transferred
1:1 (Wiegand interface) or is interpretatively prepared and the binary
values/contents are transferred as decimal equivalents.

9.4 Reader interface

The card readers AR6181-MX and AR6182-MX have to be connected via a RS485
bus interface, 2-wire, to the reader interface of the interface unit (e.g. DRI) or a
door controller. For that a 4-wire, twisted pair, shielded cable is required. One pair
is for the 2-wire RS485 party line and the other pair for power supply of the reader.
The maximum allowed bus length is 1200 m (at 9600 Baud).
The card readers AR618x-MX do have an Clock/Data interface which fulfils either
the Omron (ABA format) / Magstripe Track II or the Wiegand interface
requirements.
More information on Address setting for RS485 bus operation, 2-wire, can be found
in chapter 7.1 and on Setting the address (Clock/Data) in chapter 7.2.
The output of the read card information is transferred to the parent system (reader
interface, door controller) by means of the different interfaces of the reader.
Depending on the interface used, certain transfer formats and data formats have to
be applied. For more information please refer to chapter 10.2 Combination options.
Available interfaces (see chapter 6)
RS485: CerPass reader protocol (Data format: ASCII)

UCI reader protocol (Data format: BCD, ASCII)
Clock/Data: Omron (Data format: ABA coded (5-bit)
Wiegand (Wiegand format / Data 1 : 1)
9.5 Output data formats

The output data formats that are possible are defined by the interface used and the
associated protocol.
The data formats for the RS485 interfaces are in BCD or ASCII format depending
on the reader protocol used.
The data formats of the clock/data interface depend on the interface and the
technology used with the interface.
Omron/Magstripe Track II: Transfers BCD data formats in ABA format (4 bits +
parity 1 bit) with the corresponding additional
control characters in the protocol.
Wiegand: Transfers bit data with additional parity bits based
on the respective Wiegand format definitions (e.g.
26 and 37 bits).

10.3 PIN code

The PIN can be entered before or after the ID card booking, depending on the
setting.
The basic rule is that the max. waiting time between input and ID card booking is
10 seconds. Once this delay has expired, the input is cancelled and the entire
process is discarded, i.e. the input of transponder / ID card has to be repeated.
PIN input can be cancelled with the C key. This means the entire process has to be
repeated.
Using the E key completes the PIN input process and the entered PIN is then
processed based on the set parameters.
If the PIN is input before the transponder, the E key completes the input process
and the PIN data are sent.
If the PIN input is completed with a transponder, the ID card number is transferred
together with the entered PIN.
Further details about PIN handling, insofar as the process differs from the one
described here, are described below with the individual settings.
10.3.1 RS485 – CerPass reader protocol

10.4 Defining reading keys with Mifare Standard 1k and 4k

The reading key is entered into the configuration file in line Kxx.
For more information please refer to chapter 9.1 Defining parameters.
0 1 2 3 4 5
K00 Mifare reading key no. 00
Key00
0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
K01 Mifare reading key no. 01
Key01
0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF
Available Mifare key numbers: 00 ... 31

The shown table is an example:
When using Mifare MAD addressing, the Mifare MAD access key has to be
configured accordingly.
The MAD access key is defined in the MAD specification: A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5
0 1 2 3 4 5
Kxx Mifare reading key no. xx
Key00 0xA0 0xA1 0xA2 0xA3 0xA4 0xA5
The access key for the MAD-addressed block has to be configured additionally.
(This access key can be freely assigned by the user or is defined when the ID
cards are generated and personalized into the described cards).
0 1 2 3 4 5
Kyy Mifare reading key no. yy
Key00
0xaa 0xbb 0xcc 0xdd 0xee 0xff
With Mifare cards, a corresponding key (access key) is required in the card reader to read data in
(a) sector(s).
If reading access keys for the sector (directly addressed access) or the reading access keys for the
MAD sector and the data sector (indirect access via MAD) are not loaded into the card reader, the
Mifare cards cannot be read by the card reader.
