1. General Information
1.1 Introduction
The AYC-W6500 is a, standalone, integrated reader and
controller. The AYC-W6500 automatically determines whether
to function as a reader or as a controller. If the unit is
connected to a standard access controller, then it functions as
a reader. If the unit is connected to the AC-C15T or PS-C15T, it
functions as a secured controller.
When the unit operates as a reader, transmission of a Card ID
or PIN ID entered by the user will take place only after
successful fingerprint verification.
When the unit operates as a controller, door output will open
after a Card ID or PIN ID is entered followed by successful
fingerprint verification.
For information on how the unit functions as a reader, see
Reader Functionality on page 12.
For information on how the unit functions as a controller, see
Controller Functionality on page 28.
The AYC-W6500 can optionally work with BioTrax software. For
more information on BioTrax software see the BioTrax Software
Manual.
The unit is suitable for indoor mounting. The unit accepts up to
500 users, and allows entry via a personal identification number
(PIN) and/or by presenting a proximity card.
The PIN code length 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 digit
option.

1.2 Reader/Controller Types
Upon power-on reset, the AYC-W6500 searches for the
presence of the AC-C15T or PS-C15T power supply. If the power
supply is detected, then the AYC-W6500 is automatically
configured as a secure access control unit. Two short beeps
(one second apart) are generated on power-on reset. If the
power supply is not detected, it is automatically configured as
a reader indicated by one short beep generated on power-on
reset.

3. Installation
3.1 Mounting the AYC-W6500
When installing the reader, remove the cover using the Security
Spline key, to access the screw holes on the back plate.
Figure 1 AYC-W6500 Assembly and mounting
Before starting, select the location to mount the AYC-W6500.
This location should be at shoulder height.
Peel off the back of the self-adhesive installation label
template and locate it at the required location.
Using the template as a guide, drill four holes (based on the
size indicated in the template).
Drill a 7/16” (10mm) hole for the cable. In the event that you
are installing the unit on metal, place a grommet or electrical
tape around the edge of the hole.
When the unit is used as a reader, route the interface cable
from the AYC-W6500 to the controller. When the unit is used as
a secured controller, route the interface cable from the AYC-
W6500 to the AC-C15T or PS-C15T. A linear type power supply is
recommended, when using the unit as a controller. The power
supply is part of Rosslare's AC-C15T or PS-C15T unit.
The AYC-W6500 fits US and UK gang boxes for easy installment.
Note:
The unit can also be mounted using strong epoxy glue. After
application, hold in place firmly until the glue dries.

Wiring Instructions
AYC-W6500 Installation Manual
Page 9
4. Wiring Instructions
The unit is supplied with a 16-inch pigtail, having a
10-conductor cable. To connect the unit to the controller,
perform the following steps:
Prepare the unit’s cable by cutting the cable jacket back 1¼
inches and strip the wire ½ inch. Prepare the controller cable
by cutting the cable jacket back 1¼ inches and strip the wire
½ inch.
Splice the unit’s pigtail wires to the corresponding controller
wires and cover each connection.
Refer to the wire color table below, and to the wiring diagrams
provided on the following pages.

If the tamper output is used, connect the purple wire to the
correct input on the controller when used as reader, or to the
zone input of an intruder alarm system when used as a
controller.
Trim and cover all unused conductors.

Wiring Instructions
AYC-W6500 Installation Manual Page 10
Note:
•The individual wires from the unit are color-coded
according the Wiegand standard.
•When using a separate power supply for the unit, this
supply and that of the controller, must have a common
ground.
•The unit’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 unit
cable from external interference

5. Reader Functionality
The AYC-W6500 series can function both as a reader and as a
controller. If the unit is connected to a standard access
controller, it functions as a reader.
This is indicated by one beep generated on resetting the unit.
The keypad can be programmed to output four different data
formats.
The following explains how the AYC-W6500 functions as a
reader.
5.1 Modes of Operation
The AYC-W6500 has two modes of operation:
1. Normal Mode
•Indication LED is red.
Normal Mode is the default mode. In Normal Mode the
door is locked until a PIN code or card and the user’s finger
is presented to the controller.
Present the proximity card or enter the PIN code, the finger
LED will flash green, place your finger on the sensor for
verification. In the event that no fingerprint was enrolled
the finger LED will flash orange.
2. Secure Mode
•Indication LED flashes red.
In secure mode a User must present his Proximity card then
enter his/her PIN code and then after fingerprint
verification to gain entry.
After presenting the proximity card the Indication LED
flashes green for ten seconds, during which the PIN code
must be entered, after entering the PIN code, the
indication LED will turn green and the finger LED will flash
green, place your finger on the sensor for verification. In
the event that no fingerprint was enrolled the finger LED will
flash orange.

5.3 Programming the AYC-W6500
Programming the AYC-W6500 is done solely via the unit's
keypad driven Programming Menu System. To reach the
Programming Menu System the AYC-W6500 must first be
placed into Programming Mode. See Entering Programming
Mode on page 15 for more information.
During the AYC-W6500's manufacturing process certain codes
and settings are pre-programmed. These settings are the
called the "Default Factory Settings".
The table below shows the names of all the AYC-W6500 Menus.
