3. Installation Instructions
3.1 Installation Kit
The installation kit comprises of the following items that are to be
used during the installation procedure:
One installation template
Four pan head screws and wall plugs
One L-shaped security screw tool
Three security screws
3.2 Installing the AY-Z12A
When installing the reader, you must remove the snap-off cover to
access the screw holes (Figure 1).
Figure 1: Removing the Top Cover
The reader must be mounted with the appropriate screws (not
supplied), as described in the template provided.

Installation Instructions
10 AY-Z12A Installation Manual
Installing the unit on metal surfaces reduces the read range
considerably. To decrease the effect of the metal surface, use
Rosslare’s MP-Z02 Spacer (sold separately) as shown in Figure 2 for a
max range of 43 cm (17”).

3.2.1 Single Reader Installation
The AY-Z12A is designed to function with the best performance
when installed isolated from other AY-Z12A readers in a range of at
least 2 to 4 meters. The reader is therefore preconfigured as a single
installation reader.
See Section 5.1 for detailed configuration instructions.
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 to 4 meters; however
the read range is reduced by 20 to 30 percent.
When installing multiple readers, configure each of the readers in the
close environment for multiple reader installation.

Installation Instructions
AY-Z12A Installation Manual 11
We do not recommend installing multiple readers less than 2 meters
apart due to reduced range caused by interference between readers.
See Section 5.2 for detailed configuration instructions.
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 and/or spacer onto
the surface.
4. Drill a 10-mm (7/16”) 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
12 AY-Z12A Installation Manual
4. Wiring Instructions
The AY-Z12A is supplied with a 45-cm (18”) pigtail, comprising a 6-
conductor cable.
To connect the reader to the controller:
1. Prepare the reader cable by cutting its jacket back 4.5 cm (1¼”)
and strip the insulation from the wires 1.3 cm (½”).
2. Prepare the controller cable by cutting its jacket back 3.2 cm
(1¼”) and stripping a 1.3 cm (½”) of the insulation from the
wires.
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.

4. Trim and cover all unused conductors.
•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 he cable. This configuration is best fro shielding the
Reader cable from external interference
