Introduction
AY-U9xxBT Installation and User Manual 7
1. Introduction
The AY-U9xxBT series of UHF and Bluetooth readers are available with versions
in both UHF frequencies (865-868 and 902-928 MHz) and support Bluetooth BLE
frequencies and protocols.
Two associated apps for iOS and Android smartphones made by Rosslare –APP-
x411 BLE-ID App and APP-x421 BLE-Admin App –can be used with the readers
for programming operational settings (refer to APP-x411 BLE-ID App Installation
and User Manual and APP-x421 BLE-Admin App Installation and User Manual,
respectively).
The readers are waterproof (IP65) and are suitable for use in a wide range of RFID
applications, such as transport management, vehicle management, car parking,
production process control, and access control.
The readers support the following functions:
▪Reading UHF hard credential
▪Reading BLE soft credential
▪Transmitting credential ID to the controller
▪Acting based on controller’s input (allowing access or not)
▪Self-update
▪Reconfiguration provided by credential (soft or hard) or by PC SW
The AY-U9xxBT series includes the following models:
▪AY-U9xxBT-US: 902–928 MHz (America)
▪AY-U9xxBT-EU: 865–868 MHz (Europe)
1.1 Installation Kit
The package includes:
▪1 AY-U9xxBT reader with a 5 m (16.4 ft) 10-wire cable
▪1 100–240 VAC switching power supply: 15 VDC @ 4 A
▪1 installation bracket kit
▪1 installation and user manual

Mounting
8 AY-U9xxBT Installation and User Manual
2. Mounting
All RFID readers can be affected by Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). For optimal
read range, RFID readers should be installed away from areas with RFI.
Installing an RFID reader adjacent to metallic surfaces might alter the reader’s
specifications. To diminish this interference, use a plastic spacer when mounting the
reader.
2.1 General
There are two methods that can be used when installing the reader.
▪1-Shaped Stand Bracket Side-Loaded
▪L-Shaped Stand Bracket Top-Loaded
Each installation method is selected based on application requirements and actual
location.
2.1.1 1-Shaped Stand Bracket Side-Loaded
In this method, the stand pole should have a diameter of between 50 and 60 mm (2
to 2.4 in.) and a height of 2 to 3 m (6.5 to 10 ft). The pole should be made of
stainless steel with a thickness of at least 1.2 mm (0.05 in.).
Use the bracket contained in the package box to mount the AY-U9xxBT reader to
the top of the stand pole depending on actual vehicle type (mainly large car and
small car) (Figure 1).
Figure 1: 1-shaped Stand Bracket Side-Loaded
Adjust the height from the center of AY-U9xxBT reader to lane level to be around
2.0 m (6.5 ft).

Mounting
AY-U9xxBT Installation and User Manual 9
2.1.2 L-Shaped Stand Bracket Top-Loaded
In this method, the L-shaped stand pole should have a diameter of between 60 to 80
mm (2.4 to 3.1 in.) and a height of 4.2 m (13.8 ft). The pole should be made of
stainless steel with the thickness of at least 1.2 mm (0.05 in.).
Use the bracket contained in package box to mount the AY-U9xxBT reader to the
rail near the center of the lane (Figure 2).
Figure 2: L-shaped Stand Bracket Loaded
Adjust the height between the rail and the ground to between 3.5 to 4.0 m (11.5 to
13 ft), depending on the height of vehicle.

Mounting
10 AY-U9xxBT Installation and User Manual
2.1.3 Adjusting the Azimuth Angle of Antenna
The angle of inclination with the ground plane of the antenna should be
approximately 60° to 75° (Figure 3), while the deviation angle of the antenna should
be biased towards the lane direction (Figure 4).

Wiring
AY-U9xxBT Installation and User Manual 11
3. Wiring
The units are supplied with a 5 m (16.4 ft) 10-conductor pigtail with exposed wires
coated with solder (see Figure 5).
Figure 5: Wiring Colors
To connect the unit as a reader to an access control unit:
1. Select the appropriate connections according to Table 1.
2. Prepare the controller cable by cutting its jacket back about 3 cm (1¼") and
strip the insulation from the wires about 1.3 cm (½").
3. Splice the reader’s pigtail wires to the corresponding controller wires and cover
each joint with insulating tape.

4. Trim and insulate the ends of all unused conductors individually. Do not short
any unused wires together.
•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 be preferably attached to an earth ground, or
a signal ground connection at the panel, or the power supply end of the cable. This
configuration is best for shielding the reader cable from external interference.

Operation Instructions
12 AY-U9xxBT Installation and User Manual
4. Operation Instructions
After wiring the unit to a controller (POWER, GND, D0, D1), you should test the
reader.
To test the reader:
1. Power up the reader. One beep is emitted and then it begins an auto-calibration
procedure. After 2 seconds, the reader enters working mode.
2. Present the appropriate type of credential to the reader. A short beep is emitted,
indicating that the credential is read properly.
When installing the UHF credential inside a vehicle, make sure that the vehicle is not
RF proof.
