Do not drop the device or subject it to physical shock, and do
not expose it to high electromagnetism radiation. Avoid the
equipment installation on vibrations surface or places subject to
shock (ignorance can cause equipment damage).
Do not place the device in extremely hot (refer to the
specification of the device for the detailed operating
temperature), cold, dusty or damp locations, and do not expose
it to high electromagnetic radiation. The appropriate
temperature is -40℃to 70℃.
The device cover for indoor use shall be kept from rain and
moisture.
Exposing the equipment to direct sun light, low ventilation or
heat source such as heater or radiator is forbidden (ignorance
can cause fire danger).
Do not aim the device at the sun or extra bright places. A
blooming or smear may occur otherwise (which is not a
malfunction however), and affecting the endurance of sensor at
the same time.
Please use the provided glove when open up the device cover,

Preventive and Cautionary Tips
To guarantee the card reader works properly, please read and
obey the notes below.
If the card reader is powered by the controller, the power
supply distance is recommended to be no longer than 100m.
If the distance is longer than 100m, you are advised to power
the card reader by external 12V (range: -%10 ~ +%10) DC
power supply, which is nonswitched and linear.
To guarantee the communication between the controller and
the card reader, you must use RVVP cable above 0.5 to
connect them.
If the card reader is installed outside or in environment easy
to permeable, it is advisable to install a waterproof shield.
If you need to install several card readers, the distance
among them must over 30cm.
To reduce the noise in long distance transmission, the shield
of cable should connect to the GND of both controller and
card reader terminal.

Chapter 1 Introduction
The card reader is a kind of high-performance product, with a 32
bit high-speed processor. It communicates with access controller
via either RS-485 protocol or Wiegand protocol. And a build-in
tamper-proof module helps to protect card reader from malicious
damage. As to the physical appearance, the PC+ABS material
makes water proof and dust proof possible in poor environment.
