Mounting
The reader has been designed to fit into a standard door entry panel with an aperture of
approximately 40mm x 40mm. It must be mounted behind a polycarbonate window.
Avoid mounting readers directly beside each other or back to back; we recommend a
separation of approximately 0.5 metres where possible for best performance.
The mounting holes of the reader are 48mm apart. Use M3 nuts with appropriate fixings.
Connections should be made either directly to the host controller or in a suitable terminal
box inside the building.

Reader Operation
The LED lights red when power is connected.
When a token or card is presented, the LED blinks green briey.
The LED changes to green while the LED input line (yellow) is pulled low (typically indicates that the
door is unlocked).
NOTE: The output lines of the reader are fed by an open collector transistor – a biasing resistor
may be required on some host controllers for correct operation. Please refer to the
controller reference documentation.

Power & Testing
Connect power to the controller and ensure that the LED lights red.
Present a valid card to the reader and check that the LED blinks green.
Ensure that the LED responds to the access controller as expected. This will depend upon how you
have wired the reader and the way in which the access controller operates.
If the card details are not recognised by the access controller, check all connections and ensure that
you have connected the ‘Format Select’ input correctly according to the table on page 2.
Note: If the LED does not give any indication when a card is presented, it is likely that the reader
technology does not match that of the card.
