Introduction
AYC-Qx4 Family Installation and Programming Manual 9
1. Introduction
The AYC-Qx4 series are vandal-resistant, waterproof, standalone,
convertible integrated readers and controllers. These units
automatically determine whether to function as a reader or as a
controller. If the unit is connected to a standard access control unit,
then it functions as a reader. If the unit is connected to a Rosslare
secured intelligent power supply such as the PS-A25T, PS-C25T or PS-
C25TU, it functions as a secured controller.
All of the units are water resistant and suitable for indoor or outdoor
mounting. As a controller, the units accept up to 500 users, and allow
entry via a personal identification number (PIN) and/or by presenting a
proximity card. The PIN code length for the controller has several
options. The PIN code length can be a set number of 4, 5, or 6 digits
or it can be a 4-8 digits option.
For information on how the unit functions as a reader, see Chapter 4.
For information on how the unit functions as a controller, see Chapter
5.

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
Before starting, select the location to mount the unit. This location
should be at shoulder height.
To mount the unit:
1. Peel off the back of the self-adhesive installation template and
attach the template to the required 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: for gang box
mounting, drill two holes marked “A”; for flat panel mount, drill
four holes marked “B” (Figure 1).
Figure 1: Drilling Mounting Holes
5. Drill a 10-mm (7/16”) hole for the cable. If the surface is metal,
place a grommet or electrical tape around the edge of the hole.
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 cover to its mounting location.

Installation
14 AYC-Qx4 Family Installation and Programming Manual
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 Instructions
The unit is supplied with a 6-conductor 56-cm (22-in.) pigtail with
exposed wires coated with solder.
3.2.1 Wiring the Unit as a Reader
If you connect the unit to a standard access control unit, it
automatically functions as a reader.
To connect the unit as a reader (to a controller):
1. Select the appropriate connections according to Table 1.
Table 1: Wiring the Reader to the Controller
Wire Color Function
Black/Shield Ground (-)
Red Vin (+)
Green Data 0/Data (D0)
White Data 1/Clock (D1)
Brown LED control
Purple Tamper
2. Prepare the controller cable by cutting the cable jacket back 3.2
cm (1¼”) and strip the wire 1.3 cm (½”).
3. Splice the reader’s pigtail wires to the corresponding controller
wires and cover each joint with insulating tape.
4. If the tamper output is being utilized, connect the purple wire to
the correct input on the controller.
5. Trim and cover all conductors that are not used.

Installation
AYC-Qx4 Family Installation and Programming Manual 15
•The individual wires extending from the reader are color-coded
according to the required Wiegand standard.
•When using a separate power supply for the reader, this supply and
the controller’s power supply must have a common ground. A linear
power supply is recommended.
•Attach the cable shield wire on the reader to an earth ground (best),
or to 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.
3.2.2 Wiring the Unit as a Controller
If you connect the unit to a Rosslare PS-x25x secured power supply, it
automatically functions as a controller.
To connect the unit as a controller:
1. Select the appropriate connections according to Table 2.

Attach the cable shield wire on the unit to an earth ground (best).
You can also attach it to a signal ground connection at the panel or
power supply end of the cable. This configuration is best for
shielding the controller cable from external interference.
2. Prepare the PS-x25x 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 PS-x25x
secured power supply’s wires and cover each joint with insulating
tape.
4. Trim and cover all conductors not used.

Reader Operation
18 AYC-Qx4 Family Installation and Programming Manual
4. Reader Operation
Upon power-on reset, the unit searches for the presence of a secured
intelligent power supply. If a secured intelligent power supply is not
detected, it is automatically configured as a reader, as indicated by
one short beep.
The use of a proximity card is for the AYC-Q64 model only.
4.1 Standby Mode
The default mode of the reader is Standby mode. In Standby mode,
the unit is ready to receive data from a presented proximity card or an
entered PIN code.
When the reader is in Standby mode, the left LED
is red and the right LED is off.
When a proximity card is presented or a keypad
entry is being transmitted, the left LED flashes
green.
Keyboard data can be sent via one of eight keypad transmission
formats (see Section 4.2.3).
Proximity cards presented to the reader are always sent in either
Wiegand 26-Bit, Clock & Data or, Wiegand Card + PIN format (see
Section 4.2.4).
4.2 Programming as a Reader
Programming is done solely via the unit's keypad driven Programming
Menu System. During the manufacturing process, certain codes and
settings are pre-programmed. These settings are called the default
factory settings.

The left LED turns off and the right LED turns
red.
2. Enter your 4-digit Programming code.
If the Programming code is valid, the right LED
turns green.
If the Programming code is invalid, you hear a long beep and the
reader returns to Standby mode.
4.2.2 Exiting Programming Mode
To exit Programming mode:
1. Press #to exit Programming mode at any time.
You hear a beep.
The left LED turns red and the right LED
turns off.
This indicates that the unit has returned to Standby mode.
Wrong entries may reset the reader back to Standby mode. If no
key is pressed for 30 seconds while in Programming mode, the
unit exits Programming mode and returns to Standby mode.
