4. Wire Connections – Connect the “HiLo” units’ wires to the cables for power, data, and controls.
a. Start the wiring by connecting together these corresponding wires (same insulation color) on the two reader units:
 3 Wiegand data lines – green, white and lack.
 1 or 2 external control lines – rown for LED, yellow for beeper/alarm, if they are used. (Do not use lue.)
 2 DC power lines – lack and red. (If each “HiLo” unit has its own DC power supply, omit this step.)
b. Next, connect the reader’s lack wire to the panel port’s Ground or Negative or Data Common terminal,
and also to the power supply’s Negative terminal.
c. Connect the reader’s green wire to the Data-0 terminal. Connect the white wire to the Data-1 terminal.
d. For alternating control of the two units, connect one unit’s orange wire to the violet wire of the other unit;
also, connect the first unit’s violet wire to the other unit’s orange wire.
e. Connect the gray drain wire to the shield of the connecting cable.
If power and data are in separate cables, connect all three drains/shields together near the reader.
f. If the LED and/or Beeper/Alarm features are used, connect the rown and/or yellow wires.
g. At the end of the cable(s) near the panel and near the power supply, connect the cables’ shield to a
verified earth-ground.
h. Last, connect red to the DC power supply’s Positive terminal.

5. Mounting the MR-1824HiLo or MR-1824HiLoMC
Note: Be careful not to touch the copper antenna or the electronic components.
In the MR-1824MC units, do not remove the 4 ferrite plates from the back of the reader.
a. Drill lead holes in the wall, if needed. Insert the 4 screw anchors (supplied), if needed.
b. For MR-1824 (not MC): If the reader’s cable is to exit either right or left edge of the reader base, lay
the cable in the serpentine slot. Insert one of the cable slot plugs in the other edge of the reader base.
c. Fasten the reader base to the wall using the 4 supplied screws, or other fasteners that you select.
d. Re-insert the LED assembly into the lens recess on the cover. Position the cover on the reader base.
e. Using the 4 screws that you removed in step 2, fasten the cover securely to the reader base on the wall.
f. After you test the reader, insert the 4 screw-hole plugs in the cover over the fasteners.
6. Reader Test – When power is applied to the MR-1824HiLo, the LED initializes to steady-red for standby,
and the beeper sounds. With every presentation of an AWID proximity card to the reader, the LED
changes color momentarily, and the beeper sounds briefly. Read range with a compatible AWID card is up
to 24 inches for the MR-1824HiLo units, and up to 16 inches for the MR-1824HiLoMC units.
7. System Test – Wire the reader to the system’s controller. Program the code for the AWID proximity card
or tag into the host system, with full priority, all doors groups, and all time zones. Present the card or tag
to the reader. Observe door unlock or gate opening, indicating “Access Granted” by the system.
Suggestions
• For best performance, please read echnical Reference “MR-1824 – Assuring Maximum Read Range”.
Download this memo from www.awid.com > “Access Control” tab > “Readers”.
• When the brown (LED) and yellow (Beeper/Alarm) wires are not connected, these features are active under
reader control. When these wires are connected to the panel, the host system adds control of these features.
• he blue wire for Hold control does not function in the MR-1824HiLo and MR-1824HiLoMC reader sets.
• hese MR-1824HiLo/MC reader sets have Wiegand data interface only. here is no RS-232 interface.
