1. General Information
1.1 Introduction
The AYC-F/G/M60 series is a vandal-resistant, waterproof,
standalone, convertible integrated reader and controller. The
AYC-F/G/M60 series automatically determines 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 Rosslare's secure application appurtenances
such as the PS-A25T, PS-C25T or PS-C25TU, it functions as a secured
controller.
For information on how the unit functions as a reader, see Reader
Functionality on page 14. For information on how the unit
functions as a controller, see Controller Functionality on page 28.
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.
This manual contains the following information: Installation, Wiring
instructions, and Operation Instructions.
1.2 Reader/Controller Types
The different types of units of this series are:
•Type 54 has PIN only
•Type 60 has PIN and Proximity card
Backlight Keypad Type Proximity
AYC-F/G/M54  Standard 
AYC-F/G/M60  Standard 

Upon power-on reset, the AYC-F/G/M60 searches for the
presence of Rosslare's secure application appurtenances. If a
secure application appurtenance is detected, then the AYC-
F/G/M60 is automatically configured as a secure access control
unit. This is indicated by two short beeps. If the secured controller
is not detected, it is automatically configured as a reader,
indicated by one short beep.

3. Installation
3.1 Mounting the AYC- F/G/M60
Before starting, select the location to mount the AYC- F/G/M60.
This location should be at shoulder height. Drill holes into the back
of the unit according to how you want to mount the AYC-
F/G/M60. For US Gang Box installation, there are two-hole
indicators on the back of the metal cover specifically aligned for
the US Gang Box (A, in diagram below). For a four screw custom
installation, there are four indicators on the back (B in diagram
below). [This is Q-box need F/G/M boxes drawings]
Figure 1 Drilling mounting holes
When the unit is used a reader, route the interface cable from the
AYC- F/G/M60 to the Controller. When the unit is used as a
secured controller, route the interface cable from the AYC-
F/G/M60 to Rosslares’ secure application appurtenance.
A linear type power supply is recommended, when using the unit
as a controller.
Screw the AYC- F/G/M60 back cover to its mounting location.
Return the AYC- F/G/M60 front cover to the mounted back plate.
Secure the front cover by using the supplied security screw in the
controllers Installation Kit. An L-Shaped tool is provided for use
when tightening the security screw.

4. Wiring Instructions
The unit is supplied with a 22-inch pigtail, having a 6-conductor
cable. To connect the unit to the controller, perform the following:
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.

Tamper Tamper Purple Tamper
If the tamper output is used, connect the purple wire to the
correct input on the controller when used as a reader, or to a
zone input of an intruder alarm system when used as a controller.
Trim and cover all unused conductors.
Note:
•The individual wires from the unit are color-coded
according the Wiegand standard.
•When using a separate Power Supply for the Reader, this
Power 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 the
cable. This configuration is best for shielding the Reader
cable from external interference

5. Reader Functionality
The AYC- F/G/M60 series can function both as a reader and as a
controller. If the unit is connected to standard access controller, it
functions as a reader, indicated by one beep immediately after
power-on reset.
The following explains how the AYC- F/G/M60 series functions as a
reader.
5.1 Transmit Mode
When the AYC- F/G/M60 is in Transmit Mode, it is ready to receive
data from a presented Proximity Card or an entered PIN code.
When the reader is in Transmit
Mode, the Transmit LED is red and
the Program LED is off.
When a Proximity Card or Keyboard entry is being transmitted, the
Transmit LED will flash green.
Keyboard data can be sent via one of eight different Keypad
Transmission Formats. For more information, see Selecting Keypad
Transmission Format on page 16.
Proximity Cards presented to the reader are always sent in either
26-Bit Wiegand, Clock & Data or, Wiegand Card + PIN format. See
Selecting Proximity Card Transmission Format on page 22 for more
information.
5.2 Programming the AYC- F/G/M60 Series
Programming the AYC- F/G/M60 series is done solely via the unit's
keypad driven Programming Menu System. To reach the
Programming Menu System the AYC- F/G/M60 must first be
placed into Programming Mode. During the F/G/M60 '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- F/G/M60 Menus.

* Option 1 is the default factory setting.
More information on each of the different keypad transmission
formats is available below and on the following pages.
Option 1: Single Key, 6-Bit Wiegand (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.
0= 1 1010 0 ="A" in Hexadecimal 6= 1 0110 0
1= 0 0001 0 7= 1 0111 1
2= 0 0010 0 8= 1 1000 1
3= 0 0011 1 9= 1 1001 0
4= 1 0100 1 *= 1 1011 1 ="B" in Hexadecimal
5= 1 0101 0 #= 0 1100 1 ="C" in Hexadecimal
Option 2: Single Key, 6-Bit Wiegand Nibble and Parities
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.
0 = 0 0000 1 6 = 1 0110 0
1 = 0 0001 0 7 = 1 0111 1
2 = 0 0010 0 8 = 1 1000 1
3 = 0 0011 1 9 = 1 1001 0
4 = 1 0100 1 * = 1 1010 0 = "A" in Hexadecimal
5 = 1 0101 0 # = 1 1011 1 = "B" in Hexadecimal

Option 3: Single Key, 8-Bit Wiegand Nibbles Complemented
Inverts the most significant bits in the message leaving the least 4
significant bits as Binary-Coded Decimal (BCD) representation of
the key. The host system receives an 8-bit message.
0 = 11110000 6 = 10010110
1 = 11100001 7 = 10000111
2 = 11010010 8 = 01111000
3 = 11000011 9 = 01101001
4 = 10110100 * = 01011010 = "A" in Hexadecimal
5 = 10100101 # = 01001011 = "B" in Hexadecimal
Option 4: 4 Keys Binary + Facility Code, 26-Bit Wiegand
Buffers 4 keys and outputs keypad data with a three 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 Changing the Facility Code on page 25
for more information).
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 the "*" key or the "#" key are pressed during PIN code entry, the
keypad will clear 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 digits keypad PIN code is disrupted and no
number key is pressed within 5 seconds, the keypad will clear the
PIN code entry buffer, generate a beep and is ready to receive a
new 4 digits 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.
AYC-Qx4 family manual
Page 19

AYC-Qx4 family manual Page 20
Option 5: 1 to 5 Keys + Facility Code, 26-Bit Wiegand
Buffers up to 5 keys and outputs keypad data with a facility code
like a 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 Changing the Facility Code on page 25
for more information.) The keypad PIN code can be one to five
digits long and can range between 1 and 65,535. When entering
a keypad PIN code that is less than 5 digits long, the "#" key must
be pressed to signify the end of PIN code entry. For keypad PIN
codes that are 5 digits long, 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 the "*" key is pressed during PIN code entry or a PIN code
greater than 65,535 is entered, the keypad will clear the PIN code
entry buffer, generate 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 no
number key or "#" key is pressed within 5 seconds, the keypad will
clear the PIN code entry buffer, generate 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, 26-Bit Wiegand
Sends buffer of 6 keys, adds parity and sends a 26-Bit Binary-
Coded Decimal (BCD) message. Each key is a four 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 will clear the
PIN code entry buffer, generate a medium length beep and is
ready to receive a new 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 (MD-P64)
This unique mode is intended to let the host controller scan the
AYC- F/G/M60 keypad while still keeping the proximity card
readers 26-Bit Wiegand or Clock & Data formats active.
An optional interface board must be used between the AYC-
F/G/M60 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 will be 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 will not affect any data
that it receives from the proximity reader whether it is 26-Bit
Wiegand 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 )
