Reader Mode Indicators
Upon a power reset, the Brivo readers provide a reset sequence using the LED indicator and the beeper, to provide information
about the reader type and its communication mode. The first sequence (sequence A) describes the credential technologies built
in the reader:
•A single red LED flash indicates Bluetooth credential support
•A single green LED flash indicates 13.56 MHz credential support
•A single amber LED flash indicates 125 kHz credential support
Sequence A is followed by sequence B. Sequence B indicated the reader communication protocol:
•Two beeps (with green LED Flash) indicate that the reader is in OSDP-only communication mode
•Four beeps (with green LED Flash) indicate that the reader is in Wiegand communication mode (with OSDP auto-detect)
To test: Power the reader and wait for the power up LED beep sequence to complete. Present a valid credential to the reader and the light-bar will turn green. If the test
fails, check the wiring. All wiring methods used shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
Reader must be powered by a compatible UL Listed, power limited, access control panel with voltage range 5 –16 VDC.
