1. Access Control Readers
a. Contactless Smart Card readers: Shall provide contactless smart card
readers with following specifications:
i. Physical Characteristics
1. Reader must be a single integral unit containing electronics,
antenna, audible indicator and LED indicators in a single
package
2. Entire contents of reader must be potted with a UL listed
flame retardant epoxy-based potting material making the
reader capable of meeting NEMA IP65 rating.
3. Reader packaging must include removable covers in black,
charcoal, and ivory allowing the color of the reader to be
changed as required without stocking or ordering readers in
specific colors so as to reduce inventory of spare readers.
Cover must be secured to reader with a security screw and
vendor shall include security screw and any necessary tool
to utilize security screw with each reader.
4. Reader must include slotted mounting holes to allow small
final adjustments of the physical mounting for plumb or
appearance with other site equipment.
5. Reader packaging must include an actual size clear
adhesive-backed self-stick mounting template with
mounting hole and cable exit locations to facilitate quick
and easy installation of reader in desired location.
6. Reader should consist of various models allowing surface
mounting, mullion mounting and mounting on a single
gang-electrical box.
7. Reader shall be marked on back with wire color and wire
usage instructions.
8. Reader design shall allow logos and other customer desired
artwork to be molded on the face of the reader for large
orders at an extra cost.
ii. Performance Criteria
1. Reader shall provide an operating distance of between 1 to
4” depending on reader model and mounting environment.
Operating distance shall not be reduced by more than 25%
when mounting on ferrous or non-ferrous materials.
2. The operating characteristics of Reader shall be able to be
changed using either special control cards or a hand-held
PDA using wireless communication.
3. Reader shall be capable of transmitting the card data in the
SIA Wiegand protocol, magnetic stripe clock & data
format, magnetic stripe ABA format, or serial TTL. Card
data can be from 1 to 32,000 bits in length as required.
4. Reader shall be capable of reading data in secured area of
Inside Contactless cards.
5. Cards shall be available in memory densities of 2k bits, 16k
bits, or 32k bits.
6. Reader shall be capable of reading the entire card serial
number (up to 64 bits) of 13.56 MHz contactless smart
cards conforming to the ISO 14443A, 14443B, or 15693
standards including but not limited to HID iClass™, Philips
Mifare®, Philips UltraLight®, Philips 4K®, Philips
DESfire®, Philips i•Code SL2®, Infineon MyD™, Texas
Instruments Tiris™, and the US Government Common
Access Card (GSCIS 2.1 or later).
7. Access control data on cards, key fobs, etc. shall be
protected using 64-bit diversified security keys using the
non-proprietary Inside Contactless key diversification
certified algorithms. Data transmission between card and
reader shall use mutual authentication using the Inside
Contactless symmetrical key-based algorithm allowing
open standards and interoperability with other vendors
using Inside Contactless smart cards. Proprietary key
diversification key algorithms shall not be permitted
ensuring open standards and vendor operability.
8. Reader shall be capable of utilizing manufacturer’s preprogrammed authentication keys or user-defined
authentication keys.
9. Reader shall be able to be securely re-keyed with
authentication keys and cryptographic keys by using either
special control cards or a hand-held PDA without divulging
these keys to manufacturer of cards and reader so that only
the user knows the keys.
10. Reader shall be capable of reading Inside Contactless cards
in any serial number range in high-security mode
facilitating vendor interoperability and open standards.
11. Manufacturer supplied cards, key fobs, stickers, etc. shall
leave the unused applications area set to the Inside
Contactless standard transport keys allowing other vendors
to utilize unused application areas.
12. Access control data shall be capable of being stored in the
card in encrypted form using the US Government approved
DES algorithm. Reader shall be capable of decrypting card
data utilizing a user-programmable 64-bit key. Reader shall
also be capable of passing card data in encrypted form back
to panel/host allowing for secure data communication from
the card to the reader to the panel/host.
13. Reader shall be able to dynamically find its access control
data in any of the application slots and issued card
populations are not required to all use the same application
slot.
14. Reader shall be UL/C 294, FCC, Industry Canada, and CE
certified.
15. Reader shall include a tamper sensor as a standard feature
that is programmable to perform any or all of the following
actions:
a. Erase any security or cryptographic keys
b. Provide local annunciation using LED, audible
device, or both.
c. Transmit an 8-bit user-programmable tamper
message using the Wiegand protocol.
d. Transmit an 8-bit user-programmable tamper
normal message using the Wiegand protocol.
e. Provide an open-collector TTL output signal at the
reader capable of sinking 30 mA that “tracks” the
sate of the tamper detect mechanism.
16. Reader shall provide an 8-bit user-programmable
supervision message using the Wiegand protocol.
Supervision message shall be programmable to be
transmitted every 1 to 127 seconds or minutes for the host
to be able to detect that the reader has power, the integrity
of the power and communication wires are intact, and that
the microprocessor in the reader has not crashed.
17. Reader shall operate from 4.25 volts DC to 16 VDC using
either a linear power supply of a switching power supply
with no more than 50 mVss of ripple at < 30 MHz.
18. Reader shall have a user programmable low-power mode.
19. Reader shall require no more than 100 mA of current at any
time to minimize the effects of voltage drop on long cable
runs and/or reduce cable costs by using higher gage wires
as well as minimize the costs of providing battery-backed
up power supplies.
20. Reader shall have a tri-color LED and audible annunciator.
Both LED and audible annunciator shall be programmable
as to color, flashing, tone, and duration for:
a. Reader normal state while waiting for a card.
b. When the input LED Control signal is asserted.
c. When the reader has read a card.
d. When a tamper condition has been detected.
21. Reader shall be programmable so that once a card has been
read:
a. It must leave the RF field for a minimum of one
second before being able to be read again to
eliminate multiple card reads.
b. It cannot be read again until a different card has
been read enforcing antipassback rules at the reader
c. Can be read continuously as long as the card is in
the RF field so the host can determine when the
card has been removed from the RF field.
22. Reader shall have a lifetime warranty against manufacturer
defects and workmanship.
