3.2Output Format Selection
You can set the output format before installing the reader or at any point before power is connected. The
instructions given here do not contradict those in the wiring section they are only necessary for programming
the output format before the reader is wired as normal.
The default output format for this unit is Readykey. To set the reader to other output formats:
Disconnect the power before starting. Failure to do so may damage the unit.
Start with all the wires disconnected from the reader.
Output Format Brown to… Yellow to… # of Flashes on
power up
Normal power up all separate
Readykey
(default) white -0
Wiegand 26-bit green -1
Wiegand 34-bit white green 2
Magstripe -green 4
Barcode green white 5
1. To select the output
format twist together
the wires as shown in
the following table:
Table 4: Output Format Selection
2. Separate the other wires and keep them separate. We suggest you use insulation tape.
3. Connect the power for 2 seconds. Connect the black wire to GND (ground) and the red to power +12 V
(10.5 V to 20 V).
Note: At this stage there will be no indication of successful format change.
4. Disconnect the power.
5. Untwist the wires and keep them separate, again we suggest you use insulation tape.

6. To check that you were successful, reconnect the power using the red and black wires (as above) and
count the number of green LED flashes. The format can be determined according to the table above.
3.3MOV - Lock Suppression
A metal-oxide-varistor (MOV) is provided with each KeyPAC reader. This device prevents back EMF (high
voltage 'spikes') being returned from the electric lock to the unit. High voltage spikes can cause severe
damage over a period of time, and erratic operation of the system if not controlled.
Failure to fit the MOV at the lock will result in early failure of the unit. It will also invalidate the
warranty.
The MOV (A) should be fitted across the power
terminals of the lock (B). +

3.4Before Installing the Reader
Be aware of the following when you choose the locations of your readers:
•The cable distance from controller to reader should never exceed 3,000 feet (1000m) (with appropriate
cable). Also consider the maximum distance between the controller and the lock.
•If you use a Request To Exit (RTE) switch, route the wiring so that it is not accessible if the reader is
removed.
•Ensure that the LED is visible to the keyholder.
•The best place for a reader is next to the door on the unhinged side at roughly the same height as the
door handle. Check local regulations for ADA compliance.
•Readers may be located inside or outside.
•Leave enough room behind the reader for the flying lead.
•Readers can be mounted behind a non-metallic material, such as glass, plastic or wood without
affecting their reading range.
•There should be a minimum 3 ft (1m) distance between readers (this includes in and out readers on
opposite sides of a door).
•Readers can read in the same way from their back as they do from their front. Because of this, ID
devices may work from the other side of the wall on which the reader is mounted.
•Avoid mounting the reader in direct sunlight.
3.5Installing the Reader
1. Make sure the reader cable is not connected to the controller. Route the flying lead behind the reader
and connect it using the crimp connectors supplied. Wire the cable as described in the Wiring section
later in this manual.
2. If the connections are in a location that may be wet or damp, then protect the connectors with a sealing
compound, or use weatherproof crimps.
3. Using appropriate fixings, such as wall plugs, for the surface you are mounting it on, fix the reader to a
flat surface using the screws provided. Install the reader onto a flat and even a surface as possible, as
this will reduce the possibility of it being levered from a wall.
4. For the K3001 and D8301: the two holes are 2.4 in (60 mm) apart. Use the round hole first, then the oval
hole to ensure the reader is straight. Once the reader is mounted in place then the snap-fit décor cover
can be snapped into place. The hole in the cover should line up with the LED. Place the label on the
front of the reader.
5. For the K3002 and D8302 Vandal resistant readers, apply a silicone sealant to any gaps behind the
reader to protect against moisture if the reader is mounted outside. User the Vandal Resistant screws
provided or other suitable fasteners. The LED should be at the top.
3.6Removing the Reader
The K3001 and D8301 readers can be removed by placing a small flat-bladed screwdriver into the apertures
at the edges of the snap-fit cover. Take care not to damage the reader or cover.

All connections are made to

cable crimps are included for
joining connectors to the
cable from the controlling
system. Cable gauge
depends on distance from
the door controller to reader.
When using 0.22 mm² (24
AWG) cable, you should
twist the wires together and
double them over before
inserting them in the crimp. Table 5: Wiring Connections

5.0Operation
The reader LED will normally be red when the door is locked. When a key is presented within range of the
reader, and the key is valid for that door at that time, the LED will go green and the lock will release. The
LED will stay green while the lock is released.
5.1Tamper Protection (Readykey format)
To ensure complete tamper protection the DR1 or DC terminal of the door controller should be connected to
the blue lead of the reader. If a door contact is being used then this should be connected in series with
DR1/DC and the blue lead. See the door controller installation manual for full details of how to set up tamper
protection and alarm monitoring.
5.2Sounder Operation (not Vandal Resistant)
The internal sounder will operate if the yellow lead is grounded. The sounder will continue until the
connection to ground is broken. A relay, such as provided on the Readykey K2200 series controllers, may be
used to provide this operation under various conditions, e.g. Door Left Open.
Note: The yellow wire is retained for the vandal resistant reader to allow the installer to set the output format.
ID devices will not be read while the sounder is operating.
