Before starting, select the location to mount the ARD-AYCE65B.
This location should be at shoulder height.
For wall mounting, use the included mounting template as a
guide for drilling holes for mounting screws and wiring. For US
Gang Box mounting, no drilling is necessary.
Figure 3.1 Drilling & Mounting Template
Route the interface cable from the ARD-AYCE65B to the
controller. A linear type power supply is recommended.
Screw the ARD-AYCE65B to its mounting location or US gang
box.

Bosch Sicherheitssysteme GmbH Installation manual | V 1.1 | 2009.08
4 Wiring Instructions
The unit is supplied with a 1.5 meter (60-inch) pigtail, having a
6-conductor cable. To connect the unit to the controller,
perform the following:
Prepare the unit's cable by cutting the cable jacket back 1¼
inches and strip the wire ½ inch. Prepare the controller cable
by cutting the cable jacket back 1¼ inches and strip the wire ½
inch.
Splice the unit's pigtail wires to the corresponding controller
wires and cover each connection.
Refer to the wire color table below, and to the wiring diagram
provided on the following page.
If the tamper output is used, connect the purple wire to the
correct input on the controller.
Trim and cover all unused conductors.

NOTICE!
– The individual wires from the unit are color-coded
according the Wiegand standard.
– When using a separate Power Supply for the Reader, this
Power Supply and that of the Controller must have a
common ground.
– The Reader's cable shield wire should preferably be
attached to an earth ground, or a signal ground connection
at the panel, or power supply end of the cable. This
configuration is best for shielding the Reader cable from
external interference

ARD-AYCE65B Reader Functionality | en 11
Bosch Sicherheitssysteme GmbH Installation manual | V 1.1 | 2009.08
5 Reader Functionality
The following explains how to use the ARD-AYCE65B reader.
5.1 Transmit Mode
When the ARD-AYCE65B is in Transmit Mode, it is ready to
receive data from a presented Proximity Card or an entered PIN
code.
When the reader is in Transmit Mode, the Transmit LED is red
and the Program LED is off.
When a Proximity Card or PIN entry is being transmitted, the
Transmit LED will flash green.
PIN data can be sent via one of eight different Keypad
Transmission Formats. For more information, see Selecting
Keypad Transmission Format on page 13.
Proximity Cards presented to the reader are always sent in
either 26-Bit Wiegand, Clock & Data or, Wiegand Card + PIN
format. See Selecting Proximity Card Transmission Format on
page 20 for more information.
5.2 Programming the ARD-AYCE65B Series
Programming the ARD-AYCE65B series is done solely via the
unit's keypad driven Programming Menu System. To reach the
Programming Menu System the ARD-AYCE65B must first be
placed into Programming Mode. During the ARD-AYCE65B's
manufacturing process certain codes and settings are pre-
programmed. These settings are called the "Default Factory
Settings".
The table below shows the names of all the ARD-AYCE65B
Menus.

Inverts the most significant bits in the message leaving the least
4 significant bits as Binary-Coded Decimal (BCD)
representation of the key. The host system receives an 8-bit
message.
* = Hexadecimal
5.3.4 Option No. 4: 4 Keys Binary + Facility Code, 26-Bit
Wiegand
Buffers 4 keys and outputs keypad data with a three digit
facility code like a standard 26-Bit card output.
The facility code is set in Programming Menu number four and
can be in the range 000 to 255. The factory default setting for
the facility code is 000. (See changing the Facility Code on page
22 for more information.)
The keypad PIN code is 4-digit long and can range between
0000 and 9999. On the fourth key press of the 4 digit PIN code,
the data is sent across the Wiegand Data lines as binary data in
the same format as a 26-Bit Card.
If the ? key or the # key are pressed during PIN code entry, the
keypad will clear the PIN code entry buffer, generate a beep
and is ready to receive a new 4 digit keypad PIN code.
If the entry of the 4 digits keypad PIN code is disrupted and no
number key is pressed within 5 seconds, the keypad will clear
the PIN code entry buffer, generate a beep and is ready to
receive a new 4 digits keypad PIN code.

5.3.5 Option No. 5: 1 to 5 Keys + Facility Code, 26-Bit
Wiegand
Buffers up to 5 keys and outputs keypad data with a facility
code like a 26-Bit card output.
The facility code is set in Programming Menu number four and
can be in the range 000 to 255. The factory default setting for
the facility code is 000. (See changing the Facility Code on page
22 for more information.)
The keypad PIN code can be one to five digits long and can
range between 1 and 65,535. When entering a keypad PIN code
that is less than 5 digits long, the # key must be pressed to
signify the end of PIN code entry. For keypad PIN codes that are
5 digits long, on the fifth key press of the 5 digit PIN code, the
data is sent across the Wiegand Data lines as binary data in the
same format as a 26-Bit Card.
If the ? key is pressed during PIN code entry or a PIN code
greater than 65,535 is entered, the keypad will clear the PIN
code entry buffer, generate a beep and is ready to receive a
new 5 digit keypad PIN code.
If the entry of the 1 to 5 digit keypad PIN code is disrupted and
no number key or # key is pressed within 5 seconds, the keypad
will clear the PIN code entry buffer, generate a medium length
beep and is ready to receive a new 1 to 5 digit keypad PIN code.

Wiegand
Sends buffer of 6 keys, adds parity and sends a 26-Bit Binary-
Coded Decimal (BCD) message. Each key is a four bit
equivalent of the decimal number.
The keypad PIN code must be 6 key presses long. On the sixth
key press of the 6 digit PIN code, the data is sent across the
Wiegand Data lines as a BCD message.
If the entry of the 6 digit keypad PIN code is disrupted and no
number key is pressed within 5 seconds, the keypad will clear

5.3.7 Option No. 7: Single Key, 3x4 Matrix Keypad (ARD-
MDP64)
This unique mode is intended to let the host controller scan the
ARD-AYCE65B keypad while still keeping the proximity card
readers 26-Bit Wiegand or Clock & Data formats active.
An optional interface board must be used between the ARD-
AYCE65B and the host system. Each key press is immediately
sent on DATA0 as an ASCII character at a baud rate of 9600 bits
per second.
When a key is pressed DATA1 is pulled "low" until the key is
released at which point DATA1 will be set to "high". This allows
the controller to detect the duration of the key press.
The ARD-MDP64 interface unit outputs the data received to 7
outputs emulating a keyboard. The interface unit will not affect
any data that it receives from the proximity reader whether it is
26-Bit Wiegand or Clock & Data.
Key pressed = ASCII Value
5.3.8 Option No. 8: 1 to 8 Keys BCD, Clock & Data
Buffers up to 8 keys and outputs keypad data without a facility
code like standard Clock and Data card output.
The keypad PIN code can be one to eight digits long. The PIN
code length is selected while programming the reader for
Option 8. The reader will transmit the data when it receives the
last key press of the PIN code. The data is sent across the two
data output lines as binary data in Clock & Data format.
If the ? key or the # key are pressed during PIN code entry, the
keypad will clear the PIN code entry buffer, generate a beep
and is ready to receive a new keypad PIN code.
