ENGLISH – PM500 Card reader
Description
This document is valid for both the Siemens and
Bewator branded products.
PM500 is a card reader for connection to
SiPass/Bewator Entro, Bewator Omnis 2010, DC800
or SiPass integrated. The PM500 Reader can be
mounted within a sheet metal or plastic panel using
four screws. The reader is compatible with both
active and passive Entro cards and tags. Note!
Different cards/tags are used for PM500-Cotag
and PM500-EM respectively.
The PM500 reader reads cards or tags without them
being in contact with the reader. The reader
continuously transmits a low power radio frequency.
When a card or tag is presented within the field of
the reader it activates and transmits a unique
identification number back to the reader. The reader
then sends this code to the connected control unit in
SiPass/Bewator Entro, Bewator Omnis 2010, DC800
or SiPass integrated.

** Absolute voltage has no margins and should be used for
guidance only.
1) The PM500 is designed to be operated by 12V unregulated
power supplies, or 24V battery-backed power supplies.
Operating voltage range is 10.6 to 32.0V. The upper voltage
is intended to be compatible with the charging of 24V lead-
acid batteries. Charge methods vary, and may be
temperature dependent. 32V max is intended to be
compatible with commonly used charging methods. If the
upper operating voltage is exceeded then permanent damage
may be caused. Installers and systems designers should
check the max power supply voltage under all conditions. Do
not operate the PM500 using unregulated 24V supplies. The
PM500 current consumption can be significantly less than
100mA. The unloaded peak voltage from a nominal 24V
unregulated supply will exceed the absolute max.
2) The Read range is stated in an undisturbed electrical
environment, and that the reader is installed in accordance
with Siemens AB instructions, with the card presented parallel
to the reader.
Mounting and Mechanical
Installation
The Reader can be mounted on all types of
materials; it can be mounted behind glass. The only
limit is that the reader may not be completely
surrounded by metal.
Note! Avoid mounting the reader near sources of
electrical noise, such as motors, generators, pumps,
computer installations and mains cabling.
If there is too much electrical noise in the reading
area the amber LED flashes.
The PM500 Reader can be mounted within a sheet
metal or plastic panel using four screws. If the panel
is made of metal, the Reader must be mounted
behind a 40mm square cut-out in the panel which
must be positioned in the centre of the four mounting
1)
holes as shown in the diagram overleaf. When
mounted on a metal panel, the Reader has a range
of 5cm to 15cm (2in to 6in) dependent on the type of
tag used, so it must be mounted in a position where
the card or tag can easily be brought within this
distance.
If the Reader is mounted in a plastic panel then
connect the screen at the host end only; at the
PM500 the screen must be cut back and insulated. If
the Reader is mounted in a metal panel then the
screen must be connected at the host end and also
to the metal panel. The screen must not be
connected to the PM500 itself in either of these
situations. A perspex window is supplied which may
be fitted (optional) to enhance the external
appearance of the reader.
Route the cables according to chosen illustration
below, mount the Reader on the panel using four M3
nuts and bolts or self-tapping screws and finally test
the Reader.
For outdoor mounting, we recommend that the
terminals should be covered with a suitable
compound, for example silicone grease.
All other information regarding installation and
programming can be found in the manual supplied
with the control unit.
Connection
Connecting the PM500 to
SiPass/Bewator Entro door central
DC22, DC12 - or DC800
Use a screened multicore cable (i.e. Belden
9534/9535/9538) for connection between the reader
unit and the door central. Maximum cable distance is
50 metres. See Illustration 1 on page 10.
Note!
For SiPass/Bewator Entro: connect to the
BCLINK terminal block. Set the link J4 in the
door central to +V = Vin.
For DC800: Set jumper J1 to Vin and jumper J4
to BCLINK.
The power to the door central will then also be fed to
the reader.
When the PM500 is powered for the first time, the
green and red LEDs light for 4 seconds. Then an
Auto detect procedure starts for approx 60 seconds
where the three LEDs are lit (to configure for
BCLINK protocol). It is important that cards or tags
are not presented to the reader until this Auto detect
procedure is completed. Once completed, the LEDs
will turn off, a sound is heard and the reader is now
ready for use. The readers LEDs are controlled
exclusively by the host system.
