MIFARE Classic, applications reading of MIFARE DESFire, iCLASS or SEOS.
All configuration are made with a customer specific Setup card.
Hi-O Installation
Hi-O devices are easy to install, all devices are connected in parallel and just
using four wires. Units on the Hi-O bus gets its supply voltage from the
DAC 530, DAC564 or LCU9101.

The reader has a green and a red LED, the function of these are described in
the table below, during the various phases of configuration and operation.
Flash for up to 90 seconds, in one second
intervals. The reader is waiting for a setup card.
(The sequence can be interrupted with a common
access card.)
Red LED
(Not lit at startup)
The reader is uninitialized at Hi-O bus, the reader
is not locked to a specific Hi-O bus.

Calibration of the tamper indication on the Pando mini reader.
Pando mini is provided with a position sensor that responds if the reader is
moved from its memorized default position.
The reader learns its position during the first 5 seconds at start up, so make sure
that the reader is placed in its final position where it will be installed when the
reader is powered up. If the reader is moved from this position after the 5
seconds, a tamper alarm will be sent to the system.
If the reader is moves during the first 5 seconds at startup no default position
will be stored and the tamper alarm will not work in the reader.
Calibration is done each time the reader starts up.
