beeper beeps once.
The reader comes with external control wires for Green LED, Red LED and Beeper. You can
connect these control wires to a GV-AS Controller to change the default settings of the LED
and Beeper. For details on how to configure the settings, refer to 5. Changing the Settings of
Beeper and LED later in this installation guide.
Note: You can only connect the LED and beeper wires to GV-AS210 / 2110 / 410 / 4110 /
810 / 8110.

2. Connecting the Reader to GV-AS Controller
You can connect the readers to GV-AS Controllers through Wiegand or RS-485 interface.
Note that the connection between the reader and GV-AS Controller varies with different
controller models. To see how many readers can be connected to a GV-AS Controller, refer
to The Number of Readers Supported by GV-AS Controllers table at the end of this
installation guide.
Note:
1. GV-RK1352 / R1352 / DFR1352 is compatible with GV-AS100 / 1010 / 110 / 120 / 210
/ 2110 / 410 / 4110 / 810 / 8110. However, to enable the keypad function on GV-
RK1352, you can only connect GV-RK1352 to the controllers through the following
interfaces.
•GV-AS100 / 110 / 120: through Wiegand interface
•GV-AS1010: through RS-485 interface
•GV-AS210 / 2110 / 410 / 4110 / 810 / 8110: through Wiegand or RS-485 interface
2. Each GV-RK1352 / R1352 / DFR1352 consumes 60 mA of power. The total power
consumption of the output devices and readers connected to the GV-AS Controller
must be under 3A (for GV-AS210 / 2110), 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.
2.1 Connecting through Wiegand Interface
The following diagrams use GV-RK1352 and GV-AS810 Controller as an example. Up to
eight readers can be connected to GV-AS810 Controller through the controller’s Wiegand
interface.

2.2.1 Defining Readers on GV-AS Controller Web Interface
Since multiple readers can connect to GV-AS Controller using one RS-485 interface, you
need to specify which door each reader controls. This section explains how to define readers
on the Web interface of GV-AS Controller. On the Web interface, you can also set the reader
to read the GID or UID on GV-AS ID Cards / Key Fobs. Note that the Web interface of
different GV-AS Controller models varies.
1. On the controller’s Web interface, click Extended Reader. This dialog box appears.
2. In the GV-Reader/CR420/GF1921/GF1922 section, select the RS485 checkbox in front of
the ID number and type the Serial Number on the rear panel of the reader. The ID
number will be assigned to the reader.
3. Select a door/gate for the reader from the Function drop-down list.

July 14, 2015 9
4. Next to Read Mode, select Read UID or Read GID to set the connected readers to read
UID (unique identifier) or GID (GeoVision ID) on GV-AS ID Cards / Key Fobs.
If you select Read GID, make sure there are two numbers on your GV-AS ID Cards / Key
Fobs as shown below. If there is only one number on your GV-AS ID Cards / Key Fobs,
GID is not supported, and you must select Unique Identification (UID).
5. Click Submit.
Note:
1. When you click Submit on the Extended Reader page of a GV-AS1010 / 210 / 2110 /
410 / 4110 / 810 / 8110, all readers connected through RS-485 interface will reboot.
2. GID ID format is only supported in GV-RK1352 / GV-R1352 / GV-DFR1352 (Rev. B)
V1.2 or later.
3. If you are using third-party cards or key fobs, you must set the reader to read UID.

3. Installing the GV-R/RK/DFR Config AP
The GV-R/RK/DFR Config AP allows you to set the reader’s beeper / LED, ID number,
master / slave status, and whether it reads UID or GID. When using the Config AP, the
reader needs to be connected to a PC through GV-COM, GV-Hub or GV-NET/IO Card V3.1.
You can install the Config AP from the Software DVD or GeoVision Website. To use a GV-
COM, GV-Hub or GV-NET/IO Card V3.1, you also need to install GeoVision USB Device
Driver.
Installing from Software CD
1. Insert the software CD and the Install Program window will pop up automatically.
2. Select Install GeoVision USB Device Driver.
3. In the GeoVision USB Driver Installer window that appears, select Install.
4. Go back to the Install Program window, and select Run GV-Reader Config Utility.
Downloading from GeoVision Website
1. Go to the Software Download and Upgrading page of GeoVision Website:
http://www.geovision.com.tw/english/5_8_AS.asp
2. Select GV-Reader from the drop-down list, and click the Download icon of
GV-RK1352 & GV-R1352 & GV-DFR1352 Config Utility.
3. Select Driver from the drop-down list and click the Download icon of GV-
USB Device Driver.

for how to install.

July 14, 2015 12
2. Select the COM port that is connected to the reader and click Open COM. The serial
number and firmware version of the reader will be automatically detected. The red square
next to the COM port box should change to blue to indicate the COM port is correct.
3. Under Master / Slave, set the reader to Slave.
4. Select an ID number for the reader. The ID number ranges from 0 to 7.
5. Click Setup. The settings are sent to the reader.
If you want to connect multiple readers to the GV-System, you need to set up a unique ID
number for each reader. For this you need to connect each reader to the computer one
reader at a time, and follow the instructions above to set up an ID number.
Note:
1. If the COM port is incorrect, an “Error opening serial port”message will appear. To
verify the COM port that is connected to the reader, go to Windows Device Manager. In
the Ports (COM & LPT) field, you should see the entry for Prolific USB-to-Serial
Comm Port and the COM number currently in use.
2. If you are using an older version of the Config AP, you will have to manually type the
serial number of the reader. The serial number is on the rear panel of the reader.

will have to:
1. Enable external control of the reader’s Beeper and LED by using the GV-R/RK/DFR
Config AP.
2. Wire the Beeper, Red LED and Green LED from the reader to the GV-AS Controller.
3. Specify the Beeper and LED settings for each door through the Web interface of GV-AS
Controller.
5.1 Setting up Beeper and LED on GV-R/RK/DFR Config AP
To enable the external controls of the Beeper and LED on GV-R/RK/DFR Config AP, the
reader needs to be connected to a computer through GV-COM, GV-Hub or GV-NET/IO Card
V3.1.
1. Start the GV-R/RK/DFR Config AP and select the COM port that is connected to the
reader.
Note: To see how to install the Config AP and how to identify the COM port of the reader,
refer to 3. Installing GV-R/RK/DFR Config AP and 4.1 Defining the ID Number and Setting
the Reader to Slave earlier in this installation guide
