3.1 Mounting Instructions
Before starting, select the location to mount the unit. This location
should be at shoulder height.
To mount the unit:
1. Drill holes into the back of the metal according to how you want
to mount the AY-x55. For US Gang Box installation, there are two
hole indicators on the back of the metal cover specifically aligned
for the US Gang Box (marked as "A" in Figure 1). For a four-
screw custom installation, there are four indicators on the back
(marked as “B” in Figure 1).

2. Route the interface cable from the reader to the controller (see
Section 3.2). A linear type power supply is recommended.
3. Screw the AY-x55 back cover to its mounting location.
4. Return the front cover of the AY-x55 to the mounted back plate.
Caution!
Do not drill!

5. Secure the front cover by using the supplied security screw in the
installation kit. An L-shaped tool is provided for use when
tightening the security screw.
3.2 Wiring Instructions
The reader is supplied with a 41-cm (16”) pigtail, having a 6-
conductor cable.
To connect the unit to thecontroller:
1. Prepare the unit's cable by cutting the cable jacket back 2.5 cm
(1”) and strip the wire 2.5 cm (1”).
2. Prepare the controller cable by cutting the cable jacket back 2.5
cm (1”) and strip the wire 2.5 cm (1”).
3. Splice the unit’s pigtail wires to the corresponding controller
wires and cover each connection.
Refer to Table 1 and to the wiring diagrams provided on the
following pages.

4. Functionality
This chapter explains how the functionality of the reader.
4.1 Transmit Mode
When the AY-x55 is in Transmit mode, it is ready to receive data from
a presented proximity card or from an entered PIN code.
When the reader is in Transmit mode,
the Transmit LED is red and the
Program LED is off.
When a PIN entry is being
transmitted, the Transmit LED flashes
green.
Keyboard data can be sent via one of eight different keypad
transmission formats (see Section 4.2.3).
4.2 Programming the AY-x55
Programming the AY-x55 is done solely via the unit's keypad driven
Programming Menu System. During the AY-x55’s manufacturing
process, certain codes and settings are pre-programmed. These
settings are called the default factory settings.
Table 2 shows the names of all the AY-x55 reader menus.
Default factory settings are marked by a "*" sign.

More information on each of the different keypad transmission
formats is available on the following pages.
Option 1: Single Key, Wiegand 6-Bit (Rosslare Format)
Each key press immediately sends 4 bits with 2 parity bits added –
even parity for the first 3 bits and odd parity for the last 3 bits.

Option 3: Single Key, Wiegand 8-Bit Nibbles
Complemented
This option inverts the most significant bits in the message leaving the
least 4 significant bits as a Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) representation
of the key. The host system receives an 8-bit message.

4 = 10110100 = 01011010 = "A" in Hexadecimal
5 = 10100101 # = 01001011 = "B" in Hexadecimal
Option 4: 4 Keys Binary + Facility Code, Wiegand 26-Bit
This option buffers 4 keys and outputs keypad data with a 3-digit
Facility code like a standard 26-Bit card output.
The Facility code is set in Programming Menu number four and can be
in the range 000 to 255. The factory default setting for the Facility
code is 000 (see Section 4.2.5).
The keypad PIN code is 4-digit long and can range between 0000 and
9999. On the fourth key press of the 4-digit PIN code, the data is sent
across the Wiegand Data lines as binary data in the same format as a
26-Bit Card.
If or #are pressed are pressed during PIN code entry, the keypad
clears the PIN code entry buffer, generate a beep and is ready to
receive a new 4-digit keypad PIN code.
If the entry of the 4-digit keypad PIN code is disrupted and no number
key is pressed within 5 seconds, the keypad clears the PIN code entry
buffer, generate a beep and is ready to receive a new 4-digit keypad
PIN code.
(EP) FFFF FFFF AAAA AAAA AAAA AAAA (OP)
Where:
EP = Even parity for first 12 bits
OP = Odd parity for last 12 bits
F = 8-bit Facility code
A = 16-bit code generated from keyboard
Option 5: 1 to 5 Keys + Facility Code, Wiegand 26-Bit
Option 5 buffers up to 5 keys and outputs keypad data with a Facility
code like a 26-Bit card output.

Functionality
18 AY-x55 Family Installation and Programming Manual
The Facility code is set in Programming Menu number four and can be
in the range 000 to 255. The factory default setting for the Facility
code is 000 (see Section 4.2.5).
The keypad PIN code can be one to five digits in length and can range
between 1 and 65,535. When entering a keypad PIN code that is less
than 5 digits in length, #must be pressed to signify the end of PIN
code entry. For keypad PIN codes that are 5 digits in length, on the
fifth key press of the 5-digit PIN code, the data is sent across the
Wiegand Data lines as binary data in the same format as a 26-Bit
Card.
If is pressed during PIN code entry or a PIN code greater than
65,535 is entered, the keypad clears the PIN code entry buffer,
generates a beep and is ready to receive a new 5-digit keypad PIN
code.
If the entry of the 1- to 5-digit keypad PIN code is disrupted and a
number key or #is not pressed within 5 seconds, the keypad clears
the PIN code entry buffer, generates a medium length beep and is
ready to receive a new 1- to 5-digit keypad PIN code.
(EP) FFFF FFFF AAAA AAAA AAAA AAAA (OP)
Where:
EP = Even parity for first 12 bits
OP = Odd parity for last 12 bits
F = 8-bit Facility code
A = 16-bit code generated from keyboard
Option 6: 6 Keys BCD and Parity Bits, Wiegand 26-Bit
Option 6 sends buffer of 6 keys, adds parity and sends a 26-Bit Binary
BCD message. Each key is a 4-bit equivalent of the decimal number.
The keypad PIN code must be 6 key presses long. On the sixth key
press of the 6-digit PIN code, the data is sent across the Wiegand
Data lines as a BCD message.
If the entry of the 6-digit keypad PIN code is disrupted and no number
key is pressed within 5 seconds, the keypad clears the PIN code entry

Functionality
AY-x55 Family Installation and Programming Manual 19

6-digit keypad PIN code.
(EP) AAAA BBBB CCCC DDDD EEEE FFFF (OP)
Where:
EP = Even parity for first 12 bits
OP = Odd parity for last 12 bits
A = The first key entered D = Fourth key entered
B = Second key entered E = Fifth key entered
C = Third key entered F = Sixth key entered
Option 7: Single Key, 3x4 Matrix Keypad
This unique mode is intended to let the host controller scan the AY-
x55 keypad while still keeping the proximity card readers Wiegand
26-Bit or Clock & Data formats active.
An optional interface board must be used between the AY-x55 and
the host system. Each key press is immediately sent on DATA0 as an
ASCII character at a baud rate of 9600 bits per second.
When a key is pressed DATA1 is pulled "low" until the key is released
at which point DATA1 is set to "high". This allows the controller to
detect the duration of the key press.
The MD-P64 interface unit outputs the data received to 7 outputs
emulating a keyboard. The interface unit does not affect any data
that it receives from the proximity reader whether it is Wiegand 26-Bit
or Clock & Data.
Key pressed = ASCII Value
0 = '0' ( 0x30 hex ) 6 = '6' ( 0x36 hex )
1 = '1' ( 0x31 hex ) 7 = '7' ( 0x37 hex )
2 = '2' ( 0x32 hex ) 8 = '8' ( 0x38 hex )
3 = '3' ( 0x33 hex ) 9 = '9' ( 0x39 hex )
4 = '4' ( 0x34 hex ) = '* ' ( 0x2A hex )
5 = '5' ( 0x35 hex ) # = '#' ( 0x23 hex )

Functionality
20 AY-x55 Family Installation and Programming Manual
Option 8: 1 to 8 Keys BCD, Clock & Data
Buffers up to 8 keys and outputs keypad data without a Facility code
like standard Clock and Data card output.
The keypad PIN code can be one to eight digits in length. The PIN
code length is selected while programming the reader for Option 8.
The reader transmits the data when it receives the last key press of
the PIN code. The data is sent across the two data output lines as
binary data in Clock & Data format.
If or #are pressed during PIN code entry, the keypad clears the PIN
code entry buffer, generates a beep, and is ready to receive a new
keypad PIN code.
If the entry of the digit keypad PIN code is disrupted and a number
key or #is not pressed within 5 seconds, the keypad clears the PIN
code entry buffer, generates a medium length beep, and is ready to
receive a new keypad PIN code.
When using the keypad transmission format "1 to 8 keys
BCD, Clock & Data" (Option 8) an additional input is required
to specify the number of keys in the PIN code.
