3. Installation
Installation of an RFID reader adjacent to metallic surfaces
might alter the reader’s specifications. To diminish this
interference, use a plastic spacer when mounting the reader.
3.1 Mounting
Prior to starting, select the location where the controller unit is to be
mounted.
To mount the controller:
1. Peel off the back of the self-adhesive mounting label template
and place it on the required mounting location.
2. At the bottom of the unit’s case, remove the screw.
3. Carefully remove the snap-off front cover of the unit to reveal the
screw holes.
4. Depending on the type of installation, gang box or panel mount,
drill the respective holes in the rear cover (see Figure 2 for details).
For gang box mounting, drill two holes marked “A”. For flat
panel mount, drill four holes marked “B”.
Figure 2: Drilling Holes Identification

Installation
AC-Q4x Series Installation and Programming Manual 15
The central hole, marked “C” is for routing the wiring to the
controller.
5. Drill an additional 10-mm (7/16”) hole for the cable. When
installing the reader on a metallic surface, cover the inside of the
hole with a grommet or electrical tape.
6. Insert the unit’s cable wire into the cable hole and wire the unit
as described in Section 3.2.
7. Screw the back plate into the surface. Ensure the screws are the
size specified on the installation template.
The unit can also be mounted using strong epoxy glue. After
application, firmly hold the unit in place until the glue dries.
8. Carefully re-attach the front cover of the unit.
9. Secure the front cover by using the supplied security Torx screw.
A Torx security screw tool is provided to tighten the security Torx
screw.
3.2 Wiring
The controllers are provided either with a pre-wired cable or with a
screw-type terminal block:

3.2.1 Pre-wired Models
These units are supplied with a 10-conductor 60-cm (24-in.) pigtail
(24-AWG cable) with exposed wires coated with solder.
To wire the controller:
1. Select the appropriate connections according to Table 1.
Table 1: Wire Color Guide

Red V input
Black Ground
Green REX/BL
White In/Monitor
Purple Lock: Com
Gray Lock: N.O.
Brown Lock: N.C.
Blue Aux: Com
Yellow Aux: N.O.
Orange Aux: N.C.
2. Prepare the secured power supply’s cable by cutting the cable
jacket back 3.2 cm (1¼”) and strip the wire 1.3 cm (½”).
3. Splice the controller pigtail wires to the corresponding ancillary
devices and insulate each connection, including unused wires.
Refer to the wiring diagrams, depending on the desired
application:
Wiring the Lock Strike Relay & REX (Figure 3)
Wiring for Auxiliary Input & Output (Figure 4)
Wiring for the BL-D40 External Sounder (Figure 5)

3.2.2 Terminal Block Models
These controllers come with removable terminal blocks that are
pushed on pins on the motherboard of the controllers.
To wire the terminal blocks:
1. Route the wires or cable through the large hole in the back cover
See Figure 6. Connect the terminal blocks as shown.
2. Wire the cabling according to the following diagrams.
