It can be installed as either an entry reader or exit reader. The reader sends information to the Gallagher Controller and acts upon information sent from the Gallagher Controller. The reader itself does not make any access decisions. The reader is available in ten variants. The supported technologies and compatibility for each variant is shown in the table below.

** Gallagher strongly recommends against using dual technology 125/MIFARE cards with Multi Tech Readers for sites running pre-Command Centre v7.00 software. From Command Centre v7.00, a site may specify which technology a Multi Tech Reader should read off a dual technology card. Page 4 3E4237 Gallagher T15 Reader | Edition 11 | February 2022 Copyright Gallagher Group Limited 2 Before you begin 2.1 Shipment contents Check the shipment contains the following items:
1 x Gallagher T15 Reader facia assembly 1 x Gallagher T15 Reader bezel 1 x M3 Torx Post Security screw 2 x 25 mm No.6 self tapping, pan head, Phillips drive fixing screws 2 x 40 mm No.6 self tapping, pan head, Phillips drive fixing screws The Gallagher T15 Reader is designed to operate over a supply voltage of 13.6 Vdc measured at the reader terminals. The operating current draw is dependant on the supply voltage at the reader. The power source should be linear or a good quality switched-mode power supply. The performance of the reader may be affected by a low quality, noisy power supply. 2.2 Power supply 2.3 Cabling The Gallagher T15 Reader requires a minimum cable size of 4 core 24 AWG (0.2 mm2) 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. HBUS cabling topology The HBUS communications protocol is based on the RS485 standard and allows the reader to communicate over a distance of up to 500 m (1640 ft). The cabling between HBUS devices should be done in a "daisy chain" topology, (i.e. A "T" or
"Star" topology should not be used between devices). Should "Star" or "Home-Run" wiring be required, the HBUS 4H/8H Modules and the HBUS Door Module allow multiple HBUS devices to be individually wired to the one physical location. The end devices on the HBUS cable should be terminated using 120 ohms resistance. To terminate the Gallagher Controller 6000, connect the supplied on-board termination jumpers to the Controller. To terminate a reader, connect the orange (termination) wire to the green
(HBUS A) wire. Termination is already included at the HBUS Module, (i.e. each HBUS port is permanently terminated at the module). Page 5 3E4237 Gallagher T15 Reader | Edition 11 | February 2022 Copyright Gallagher Group Limited HBUS Device

* The matching of wire sizes to equivalent wire gauges are only approximate.
** Recommended cable types for optimal HBUS RS485 performance.
*** Not applicable for PIV or Bluetooth enabled reader installations.
**** Tested with 13.6V at start of cable. Notes:
Shielded cable may reduce the obtainable cable length. Shielded cable should be grounded at the Controller end only. If other cable types are used, operating distances and performance may be reduced depending on the cable quality. HBUS allows up to 20 readers to be connected to a single cable. Each reader requires 13.6 Vdc to function correctly. The cable length and the number of readers connected will have an impact on the voltage at each reader. 3 Distance between readers The distance separating any two proximity readers must not be less than 200 mm (8 in) in all directions. When mounting a proximity reader on an internal wall, check that any reader fixed to the other side of the wall is not less than 200 mm (8 inches) away. 200 mm 200 mm Page 7 3E4237 Gallagher T15 Reader | Edition 11 | February 2022 Copyright Gallagher Group Limited 4 Installation ATTENTION: This equipment contains components that can be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Ensure both you and the equipment are earthed before beginning any servicing. The Gallagher T15 Reader is designed to be mounted on any solid flat surface. However installation on metal surfaces, particularly those with a large surface area will reduce read range. The extent to which the range is reduced will depend upon the type of metal surface. Note: Consideration should be given to the installation environment when using Bluetooth enabled readers, as the read range may be reduced. The recommended mounting height for the reader is 1.1 m (3.6 ft) from the floor level to the centre of the reader device. However this may vary in some countries and you should check local regulations for variations to this height. 1. 2. 3. Use the reader bezel as a guide to drill all three holes. Drill the 13 mm (1/2 inch) diameter centre hole (this is the centre hole for which the building cable will exit the mounting surface) and the two fixing holes. Run the building cabling out through the centre hole and through the reader bezel. Secure the bezel to the mounting surface using the two fixing screws provided. It is important the bezel of the reader is flush with and tight against the mounting surface. Three screw locations have been provided. Gallagher recommend using the outer screw locations. Note: It is strongly recommended that you use the screws provided. If an alternative screw is used, the head must be no larger nor deeper than that of the screw provided. Note: Ensure the centre hole allows the cable to run freely out through the mounting surface, so that the reader facia can clip into the bezel. No. 6 pan head screw Bezel Building cable No. 6 pan head screw 4. Connect the reader tail extending from the facia assembly to the building cable. Connect the wires for the appropriate reader you wish to interface, either an HBUS Reader or a Cardax IV Reader, as shown in the following diagrams. Note: PIV and Bluetooth enabled readers must be connected as HBUS Readers. PIV readers connect to the Gallagher Controller 6000 High Spec PIV (C305101) only. Page 8 3E4237 Gallagher T15 Reader | Edition 11 | February 2022 Copyright Gallagher Group Limited An HBUS Reader connects to a Gallagher Controller 6000, Gallagher 4H/8H Module (attached to a Controller 6000) or a Gallagher HBUS Door Module (connected to a Controller 6000). A Cardax IV Reader connects to a Gallagher Controller 6000, Gallagher 4R/8R Module (attached to a Controller 6000) or a Gallagher GBUS Universal Reader Interface (Gallagher GBUS URI).

Fit the facia assembly into the bezel by clipping the small lip, into the top of the bezel and holding the top, press the bottom of the facia assembly down into the bezel. Insert the M3 Torx Post Security screw (using a T10 Torx Post Security screwdriver) through the hole at the bottom of the bezel to secure the facia assembly. Note: The Torx Post Security screw needs only to be lightly tightened. Reader tail Building cable Facia Connection Fit screw to secure facia to bezel 7. Removal of the facia assembly is a simple reversal of these steps. Page 9 3E4237 Gallagher T15 Reader | Edition 11 | February 2022 Copyright Gallagher Group Limited Hint: After removal of the security screw, press the top of the facia. The bottom of the facia will exit the reader bezel. 8. Configure the reader in Command Centre. If the reader is connected as an HBUS Reader, refer to the topic "Configuring HBUS Devices" in the Command Centre Configuration Client Online Help.
