Power & Testing
Once the reader is fitted and wired, carry out a brief test to ensure that it
is functioning correctly. You may need to refer to the controller reference
documentation.
Connect power to the controller and ensure that the LED lights red.1.
The reader requires a supply of 5VDC to 16VDC.
Present a compatible card to the reader and check that the LED blinks2.
green and the beeper sounds (if fitted).
Make a card valid in the access controller and present the card to3.
the reader. Ensure that the card is accepted and the LED and beeper
respond 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 in the wiring instructions..
Note 1: The Slimline reader uses two separate LEDs for red and green
indications but the basic operation is the same as other models.
Note 2: If the LED does not give any indication at all when a card is
presented, it is likely that the reader technology does not match
that of the card.

READER FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
Fitting Mullion and Wall Switch Readers
For those readers fitted with a cover (MP1 and WP1) ensure that the cover
securing screw is not fitted to the base of the reader, and separate the front
cover and the reader body as follows:
Insert the tip of a terminal screwdriver into
the small slot in the base of the cover. Press
lightly to release the securing catch while
you separate the cover from the reader at
the base.

Mounting the Mullion Reader
Identify a suitable location for the
reader at a convenient height near to
the door that it controls.
Place the reader on the mounting
surface and mark the position of the
cable hole. Drill a hole suitable for
feeding the cable through.
If the reader is fitted with a cable,
feed it through the hole so that the
reader can be positioned correctly
against the mounting surface. Ensure
that the reader is level and mark out
the position of the fixing holes, drill
and prepare the holes. Terminate the
cable conductors according to the
wiring details overleaf.
If the reader is fitted with screw terminals, position the reader against the
mounting surface, ensure that the reader is level and mark out the position
of the fixing holes. Drill and prepare the fixing holes. Feed the connecting
cable through the cable hole and terminate the conductors according to the
wiring details overleaf.
Secure the reader to the mounting surface using the two no.6 wood screws
supplied with appropriate plugs/fixings (not supplied) for the type of
mounting surface.

Mounting the Wall Switch Reader
Wall Switch readers are designed to fit to a standard wall switch back box
(minimum depth 25mm). The WP1 can also be mounted directly on a wall
(see the instructions for fitting a mullion mount reader).
If the reader is to be mounted on a back box and is fitted with a cable, feed
the cable through the hole in the back box to the controller and terminate the
conductors according to the wiring details overleaf. If the reader is fitted with
screw terminals, feed the connecting cable into the back box and terminate
the conductors according to the wiring details overleaf.
Secure the reader to the back box using the screws supplied.
Note:
To fit the Flush-mount Wall Switch
reader to a back box, follow the
mounting instructions above.

Fitting The Reader Cover (MP1 and WP1)
Once the reader has been fitted and wired, the cover can be fitted as
described below (the illustration shows the mullion model but the procedure
is the same for the wall switch model).
Hook the two tabs at the top of the reader cover over the top of the1.
reader back plate, engaging them with the corresponding slots in the
back plate.
Hinge the cover over the reader body until it is correctly seated over2.
the reader (it should click into place).
Insert the cover retaining screw in the base of the reader and tighten.3.
