Scope
This document explains the installation of the NanoQuest Lite product. This information is not
relevant to the standard NanoQuest product.
Before Installation
Check that the box contains the following items:
1 x NanoQuest Lite (2-part) unit
2 x mounting screws (No.6 x 1.25”)
1 x cover securing screw
2 x Master proximity cards
1 x varistor
1 x Mounting Template
You will also need unassigned proximity cards or card packs purchased separately.
The NanoQuest Lite requires a power supply of between 9 and 16V DC. We recommend that an
appropriate 12V DC power supply unit or mains adaptor is made available to supply power to the
NanoQuest Lite. The NanoQuest Lite requires less than 70mA at 12V.
Mounting the NanoQuest Lite
1) Identify a suitable location for the unit. It should
be located at a convenient height near to the
door that it controls. The unit is waterproof and
suitable for exterior use but it must not be used
for an exterior door without another means of
securing the door. (For example, a dead lock
secures the door at night with NanoQuest Lite
controlling access by staff during the day).
2) Use the supplied template to mark out the
positions of the holes for screw fixings and cable
access, and drill appropriate sized holes.
3) Remove the cover from the unit by inserting the
tip of a terminal screwdriver into the small slot
next to the screw hole at the bottom of the unit,
and pressing lightly to release the securing catch
while you separate the cover from the body at
the base.
4) Feed the cable through the wall and terminate it
either inside the PSU enclosure or in a suitable
tamperproof terminal box.
5) Secure the NanoQuest Lite to the wall.
6) Fit the cover and secure with the supplied
securing screw once the NanoQuest Lite has
been fully installed.
Wiring the NanoQuest Lite
Connect the unit as shown on the next page (always fit the varistor as close to the locking device
as possible). If a door strike is used and a door handle is left in use on the inside of the door,
connection to the free exit button may not be required.

Power Up and Confidence Check
Apply power to the unit and check that the LED’s glows red.
Present a Master Card once to the face of the unit and check that the buzzer gives two short beeps
and the LED’s blink green and then continue to flash red. Wait 30 seconds. The buzzer should give
two short beeps and the LED’s return to a steady Red.
Press the Free Exit Button, if fitted. The NanoQuest Lite will give a short beep, the lock will release
for 3 seconds and the LED’s change to green during this period. This indicates that the unit is
functioning correctly.

Programming the NanoQuest Lite
Adding User Cards Individually
1) Present a Master Card, 2 short beeps will
sound and the LED will blink green and
then start to flash red slowly to show that
the unit is in programming mode.
2) Present each User Card to the unit in turn.
A short beep will sound when the card is
detected.
3) One you have presented all required
cards, present the Master Card again. The
unit gives 2 short beeps and the LED
returns to a steady red glow indicating that
it is in operating mode.
Adding a Batch of User Cards
1) Present a Master Card, 2 short beeps will
sound and the LED will blink green and
then start to flash red slowly to show that
the unit is in programming mode.
2) Present the Batch Card to the unit. A short
beep will sound when all cards have been
set (this may take several seconds).
3) Present the Master Card again. The unit
gives 2 short beeps and the LED returns
to a steady red glow indicating that it is in
operating mode.
All related user cards are now valid and will now release the lock when presented to the
NanoQuest Lite. Keep the Master Cards in a secure place.
Additional Settings
The Master Card can be used to set further functions. Each time you present the Master Card, the
unit steps to the next function (see the table below). Once you have adjusted the setting by
presenting the appropriate user cards, you can exit programming mode by presenting the Master
Card again.
Note: When in programming mode, the LED provides an indication of the mode/option that has
been selected by blinking red the number of times that correspond with the selection made.
For example, when in mode 8 (Silent Mode), the LED blinks 8 times followed by a pause.
The sequence is repeated the while the unit is in mode 8.
