Figure 1 shows the front view of the OmniProx.  

When mounting models OP10/20/30/40/45, the 

snap-off cover must be removed to access the screw 

holes. 

The model OP90 uses a security screw on the 

bottom of the reader to secure the cover. Remove 

this security screw using the supplied tool. Then 

slide the back plate down slightly and then lift it up 

from the bottom. Select the desired mounting holes 

and drill them out. 

 

Mount the reader with the appropriate screws (not 
supplied) as indicated on the template. 

To surface mount the reader, perform the following: 

1. Determine an appropriate mounting position 

for the reader. 

2. Peel off the back of the self-stick mounting label 

template included with the unit and place at 

the desired mounting position. (Additional 

templates can be downloaded from 

www.omniprox.com.) 

3. Using the template as a guide, drill two holes 

(hole size is indicated on mounting template) for 

mounting the reader to the surface. 

4. Drill a 1/2” (13 mm) hole for the cable. If 

mounting on metal, place a grommet or 

electrical tape around the edge of the hole. 

5. Route the interface cable from the reader and/or 

power supply to the host. A linear type power 

 

 

Check all electrical codes for proper installation. 

 

 

Card Reader Models OP10/20/30/40/45/90 are to be 
used with control panels whose power supply is UL 
listed Class 2 or equivalent.  

The OmniProx Reader is supplied with an 18-inch 

pigtail, having a 6-conductor cable. To connect the 

reader to the host, perform the following steps: 
1. Prepare both the reader cable and host cables 

by cutting the cable jacket back 1¼ inches and 

strip the wires 

½ 

inch. 

2. Splice the reader pigtail wires to the 

corresponding host wires and cover each 

connection (see Figure 2). 

3. If the tamper output is being utilized, connect 

the purple wire to the correct input on the host. 

4. Trim and cover all conductors that are not used. 

Figure 2 below shows how you should wire the 

reader to the host. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. The individual wires coming out of the reader are color 

coded according to the recommended Wiegand standard.

 

2. If either 5 or 12 volts are available, use 12 volts for better 

performance. 

3. When using a separate power supply for the reader, the 

reader, power supply and host must have a common 
ground. 

4. The recommended cable depends on the distance from the 

reader to the host. See Table 1 on the next page for the 
correct wire gage based upon distance. Larger wire 
gauges are acceptable. The wire must be stranded with an 
overall shield, either foil or braided. If the tamper is not 
being used, 5 conductor cable is required; otherwise 6
