1.2.3 Define the ID of GV-SR1251
Up to 8 readers can be connected to GV-AS Controller via a single RS-485 interface. To
create a daisy chain connection, use the Setup AP to define each reader's ID number.
1. Install and download the Setup AP. For details, see 2.4 Install GV-R/RK/DFR Setup AP.
2. Run GV-R/RK/DFR Setup AP.
3. Select the COM port that is connected to the reader and click Open COM. The red
square next to the COM port box should change to blue to indicate the COM port is
correct.
4. Select an ID number for the reader. The ID number ranges from 0 to 7.
5. Click Setup. The serial number and firmware version of the reader are automatically
detected. The settings are sent to the reader.
Note:
1. To define the ID number of GV-Reader1251 / 1352 V2, use the switches at the back of
the reader.
2. GV-SR1251 only reads UID. Therefore, the Only Read GID option in the GV-
R/RK/DFR Setup AP is not functional for GV-SR1251.

1.3 Connect the Reader to GV-AS Controller
GV-Reader1251 / 1352 V2 / SR1251 is compatible with any standard access controllers. The
following diagrams illustrate how to connect GV-Reader1251 / 1352 V2 / SR1251 to GV-AS
Controller through Wiegand or RS-485 interface, and how to connect GV-Reader1251 / 1352
V2 / SR1251 to third-party access controllers and GV-DVR/NVR.
For GV-Reader1251 / 1352 V2, after you wire the connection between the reader and the
access controller, ensure that related switch settings on GV-Reader1251 / 1352 V2 are
configured correctly.
Note: Each reader consumes 60 mA of power. The total power consumption of the output
devices and readers connected to GV-AS Controller must be under 2.5A (for GV-CS1320),
3A (for GV-AS1620, GV-AS210 / 2110 / 2120), 3.5A (for GV-AS410 / 4110) or 5A (for GV-
AS810 / 8110). Connect an external power supply if the power supplied from GV-AS
Controller is insufficient.

Defining Readers on GV-AS Controller Web Interface
After configuring the switch settings of GV-Reader1251 / 1352 V2 or defining the ID number
of GV-SR1251 using GV-R/RK/DFR Setup AP, you need to specify which door each reader
controls on the Web interface of GV-AS Controller.
1. On the controller’s Web interface, select Extended Reader. This page appears.
2. If the readers are connected using RS-485, select the RS485 checkbox in front of the ID
number. The ID number must match the ID you configured using SW5 –SW7 (for GV-
Reader1251 / 1352 V2) or GV-R/RK/DFR Setup AP (for GV-SR1251).
3. Leave the serial number field blank.
4. Select a door/gate for the reader under Function. Click Submit.

1.3.3 Connect to GV-DVR/NVR and Third-Party Controllers
GV-Reader1251 / 1352 V2 / SR1251 is compatible with third-party access controllers. With
its compatibility, you can also add a GV-DVR/NVR to this connection to empower your
management.
After connecting GV-Reader1251 / 1352 V2 / SR1251 to the access controller through the
Wiegand interface, connect the reader to GV-DVR/NVR via GV-COM, GV-Hub or GV-
NET/IO Card V3.1.
Note: GV-Reader1251 / 1352 V2 / SR1251 is not compatible with the GV-NET Card and
the GV-NET/IO Card of versions earlier than V3.

1.5Control the Beeper and LED
You can configure GV-AS Controller (AS210 / 2110 / 2120 / 410 / 4110 / 810 / 8110) to
control the reader's beeper or LED externally. Through the controller's Web interface, you
can configure the controller to activate the reader's red LED, green LED, or beeper in
response to a specific alert event.
1. For GV-SR1251, enable external controls of the reader’s beeper and LED by using the
GV-R/RK/DFR Setup AP. For details, see 2.6.1 Enable External Control on the Reader.
2. For GV-Reader1251 / 1352 V2, enable external controls of the reader’s beeper and LED
by configuring the switch settings. For details, see 1.2.2 Switch Settings of GV-
Reader1251 / 1352 V2.
3. Wire the beeper, Red LED or Green LED from the reader to the controller. For details,
see 2.6.2 Connect the Beeper and LED.
4. Specify the beeper and LED settings for each door through the controller’s Web interface.
For details, see 2.6.3 Set the Beeper and LED for Each Door/Gate.
Note: GV-AS1620 can also externally control the reader’s LED and beeper for access
granted and denied. For details, see GV-AS1620 User’s Manual.
IMPORTANT: When GV-RK1352 / R1352 / DFR1352 / SR1251 is connected to a
controller via an RS-485 connection, external control of the LED and beeper is not
supported.
