Installation
Figure 2: Removing the Top Cover
Figure 2shows the front view of the AY-Z12 Long-Range Reader.
When installing the reader, you must remove the snap-off cover to
access the screw holes.
The Reader must be mounted with the appropriate screws (not
supplied), as described in the template provided.
Installing the unit on metal surfaces will reduce the read range
considerably, to decrease the affect of the metal surface use
Rosslare’s MP-Z02 Spacer (sold separately) as described in the
image below for a max range of 43cm (17 inch).

To Install the Reader:
1. Determine an approximate location for the installation of the
Reader.
2. Peel off the back of the self-adhesive installation label
template and locate it at the required location.
3. Using the template as a guide, drill the holes (the size of
which are indicated in the template) to install the Reader or
spacer onto the surface.
4. Drill a 7/16” (10mm) hole for the cable. In the event that you
are installing the reader on metal, place a grommet or
electrical tape around the edge of the hole and use the MP-
Z02 spacer.
5. Route the interface cable from the Reader to the Controller.
A linear type power supply is recommended.

Wiring Instructions
4. Wiring Instructions
The AY-Z12 Reader is supplied with an 18” pigtail, comprising a 6-
conductor cable.
To connect the Reader to the Controller:
1. Prepare the Reader cable by cutting its jacket back 1¼” and
strip the insulation from the wires, ½”.
2. Prepare the Controller cable by cutting its jacket back 1¼”
and strip the insulation from the wires, ½”.
3. Splice the Reader’s pigtail wires to the corresponding
Controller wires and cover each joint with insulating tape.
If the tamper output is being utilized, connect the purple wire
to the correct input on the Controller.
Reader Color Weigand Output
10~16 VDC Red DC+Input
Shield / Ground Black Ground
Data 1 White Data 1
Data 0 Green Data 0
LEDCTL Brown LED Control
Tamper Purple Tamper
4. Trim and cover all unused conductors.
Note:
•The individual wires from the Reader are color-coded according
the Wiegand standard.
•When using a separate power supply for the Reader, this supply
and that of the Controller, must have a common ground.
•The Reader’s cable shield wire should preferably be attached
to an earth ground, or a signal ground connection at the panel,
or power supply end of the cable. This configuration is best for
shielding the Reader cable from external interference
