3.1 Mounting the AY-E20
Before starting, select the location to mount the AY-E20. This
location should be at shoulder height. To mount the AY-E20,
perform the following:
1) For wall mounting, use the included mounting template as a
guide for drilling holes and mounting screws (See figure 1).
2) Drill a hole for the cable. If mounting on metal, place a
grommet or electrical tape around the edge of the hole.
3) Route the interface cable from the AY-E20 to the Controller.

Installation
AY-E20 Instruction ManualPage 7
For US Gang Box mounting, no drilling is necessary. Simply screw
the AY-E20 to its mounting location or US gang box.
Note:
•A linear type power supply is recommended
•Card readers are to be used with control panels whose power
supply is UL Listed Class 2 or equivalent

Wiring Instructions

4. Wiring Instructions
4.1 Wiring the AY-E20
The unit is supplied with a 39.4 inch pigtail, having a 10-conductor
cable. To connect the unit to the controller, perform the following:
1) Prepare the unit's cable by cutting the cable jacket back 1¼
inches and strip the wire ½ inch.
2) Prepare the controller cable by cutting the cable jacket
back 1¼ inches and strip the wire ½ inch.
3) Splice the unit’s pigtail wires to the corresponding controller
wires and cover each connection. Refer to the wire color
table below.

Operational Instructions
AY-E20 Instruction ManualPage 9
5. Operational Instructions
The AY-E20, once connected to standard access controller,
functions as a reader. This is indicated by one beep immediately
after power-on reset.
The following pages explain the operational instructions of the AY-
E20.
5.1 Testing the AY-E20 and Card Reading
The AY-E20 should be tested after wiring it to the Controller. To test
the AY-E20, perform the following:
1) Power-up the AY-E20. The LED and Beeper will activate one
time. This indicates that the AY-E20 is working properly.
2) Present the appropriate type of proximity card to the AY-E20.
The LED will momentarily flash green and a short beep will be
emitted. This indicates that the card was read properly by
the AY-E20.
3) Once the card’s data has been processed by the Controller,
the Controller can then switch the LED on the AY-E20 to
green. Refer to the relevant Controller instruction manual for
more information on controlling LED behavior via the
Controller.
5.2 Card Transmission Format Selection
To select the appropriate Card Transmission Format, perform one
of the following:
•26-Bit Wiegand - the grey wire should be an open circuit
•Clock & Data - the grey wire should be held to ground
•Serial RS-232 - the grey wire should be held to +DC (VIN).
