3.1 The Installation Kit
The Installation kit comprises of the following items used during the
installation procedure:
•One Installation Template
•Four pan head screws & wall plugs
•One L shaped security screw tool
•Three Security screws
3.2 Installing the AY-Z12A Long Range Reader:
Figure 2: Removing the Top Cover
Figure 2 shows the front view of the AY-Z12A Long-Range Reader.
When installing the reader, you must remove the snap-off cover to
access the screw holes.

Installation
AY-Z12A Installation Manual Page 6
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).
Figure 3: Installing the unit with the MP-Z02 spacer
3.2.1. Single Reader Installation
The AY-Z12A Long-Range Reader is designed to function with the
best performance when installed isolated from other AY-Z12A long
range readers at least in a range of 2-4 meters, the reader is
therefor preconfigured as a single installation reader. See Single
Reader Configuration, on page 9, for detailed configuration
instructions.

Installation
AY-Z12A Installation ManualPage 7
3.2.2. Multiple Reader Installation
Although designed to work in an isolated environment, it is
possible to install multiple readers within a range of 2-4 meters,
however the read range will reduce by 20-30 percent.
When installing multiple readers, configure each of the readers in
the close environment for multiple reader installation.
We do not recommend multiple readers be installed less than two
(2) meters apart due to reduced range caused by interference
between readers.
See Multiple Reader Configuration, on page 10, for detailed
configuration instructions.
3.2.3. Installation process
The physical installation of the unit is described below.
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 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 and Configuration Instructions
AY-Z12A Installation Manual Page 8
4. Wiring and Configuration Instructions
Follow the wiring and configuration instructions below based on
the installation type you are utilizing.
4.1 Wiring instructions
The AY-Z12A 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.

Wiring and Configuration Instructions
AY-Z12A Installation ManualPage 9
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
4.2 Single Reader Configuration
For single reader installation, follow the configuration process
below, this process is not required with new readers as it comes
preconfigured from the factory to function as a single door
reader.
To configure a single reader installation mode:
1. Turn the reader power OFF
2. Connect the Data 1 wire (White cable) to Ground.
.
3. Leave the LED Control wire (Brown cable) floating.
4. Turn the reader power ON
5. Connect the LED Control wire (Brown cable) to Ground.
– Reader LED turns Orange.
6. Release the LED Control wire from the Ground.
7. The Reader’s LED starts flashing continuously and the Buzzer
sounds.
8. Turn the reader power OFF
9. Disconnect the Data 1 wire (White cable) from the Ground.
.
10. The Reader configuration for single reader installation is
complete.

Wiring and Configuration Instructions
AY-Z12A Installation Manual Page 10
4.3 Multiple Reader Configuration
To install multiple readers follow the configuration process below.
To configure a multiple reader installation mode:
1. Turn the reader power OFF
2. Connect the Data 1 wire (White cable) to Ground.
.
3. Connect the LED Control wire (Brown cable) to Ground.
4. Turn the reader power ON
5. Release the LED Control wire from the Ground.
– Reader LED turns Orange.
6. Reconnect the LED Control wire (Brown cable) to Ground.
7. The Reader’s LED starts flashing continuously and the Buzzer
sounds.
8. Turn the reader power OFF
9. Disconnect the Data 1 wire (White cable) from the Ground.
.
10. The Reader configuration for multiple reader installation is
complete. You can now connect two or three readers within
a 2-4 meter range from one another.

AY-Z12A Installation ManualPage 11
5. Operation Instructions
Test the AY-Z12A long-range reader after wiring it to a power
supply and a Controller.
To test the Reader:
1. Power up the Reader. The LED flashes on power up, and the
Beeper sounds twice, at which point it begins an auto-
calibration procedure, this can take up to two seconds, when
the calibration is complete a third beep will sound, thus
indicating that the Reader is working properly. The LED returns
to its idle state (red).
2. Present the appropriate type of proximity card to the Reader.
The LED will flash green briefly and a short beep is emitted,
thus indicating that the card was read properly.
The Reader transmits the card's data to the Controller; the
Controller checks the data, if the card transmission is valid, the
LED changes briefly to green. Refer to the Controller’s description
of LED operation for Controllers with Reader LED control. The LED
then returns to its idle state (red)
The range is measured using a Rosslare Proximity Card (P/N AT-
11/12) or equivalent. The range also depends on electrical
environment and/or proximity to metal.
