INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
THE READER HEAD/S
The reader head comes pre-wired with a 2m cable connected to it. If the cable is to be replaced
with a longer cable, please note the following restriction:
Maximum cable lengths: - 5 meters unshielded cable
15 meters shielded cable
Wiring from the reader is as follows:
BLUE - Buzzer (BUZ)
RED - Supply (+5V)
BLACK - Ground (-0V)
YELLOW - Loop +
GREEN - Loop -
Two screws and two wall plugs are supplied with the reader head for mounting onto a wall.
The following steps should be followed:
INSTALLING THE READER HEAD
1. Use the READER HEAD to mark off the holes to be drilled on the wall where
the reader is to be mounted. (Note: The holes should only be deep enough to accept
the wall plugs.)
2. Once the holes have been drilled insert wall plugs.
3. Mount the reader head and fasten the screws, making sure that the cable is run
correctly.
4. Place reader head sticker onto the reader head and align the reader head sticker
LED hole with the LED on the reader head.
5. Installing two reader heads – It is possible to install two reader heads on this system.
Please note that this is a single door system and there is only one output relay. The two
heads will therefore be fitted to the ENTRY and EXIT points on a single door.
6. The two reader heads will be wired in parallel in the controller as per the instructions
overleaf.
7. Jumper LOOP SELECT must be OPEN if one reader head is installed. ●●
Jumper LOOP SELECT must be FITTED if two reader heads are installed. ●▬●

Fire alarm input:
The fire alarm input is a facility whereby a fire alarm device such as an
emergency glass break switch or fire alarm panel can close the circuit to open
all doors immediately. Please note the fire alarm input is non latching, and
Fail safe locks should be used with this function.

PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS
(Note: The DorTag VI employs AUTO EXITING software for security reasons. In any
of the programming modes, the controller will automatically revert back to standard
operating mode if the user takes no action within 30 seconds.)
Three different operating modes exist, as indicated by the display dot position.
POSITION 1 - Standard operating mode
POSITION 2
- User tag Learn mode
POSITION 3 - Voiding mode
- Master Tag Learn Mode
POSITION 4
The USER ACTION indicates the steps the user must take to accomplish a certain
PROGRAMMING FUNCTION.
The CONTROLLER RESPONSE indicates the response that the controller will have to a
USER ACTION.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE USER READ THE USER ACTIONS AND
CONTROLLER RESPONSES CAREFULLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO PROGRAM THE
CONTROLLER.

MASTER TAG - PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS
PROGRAMMING FUNCTION USER ACTION CONTROLLER RESPONSE
Teaching the controller a new
MASTER TAG.
1. PRESS & HOLD button S1 (The
top button. Note: Teaching a new
Master Tag can only be done in
STANDARD MODE.)
2. (Warning: On presenting a NEW
MASTER TAG, the entire memory
will be voided and all user tags
will have to be reprogrammed.)
While still holding button S1 press
button S2. (The bottom button)
3. Present the new tag to the reader.
(This tag will become the new
Master Tag.)
The controller display changes to
the last card read while pressing this
button in STANDARD MODE
The controller will respond with 3
beeps immediately. After releasing
buttons S1 and S2, the controller
display will light up displaying
This indicates that the controller is in
Master Tag learn mode and that the
first tag to be presented to the
reader head will become the new
Master Tag.
The controller will respond with 3
beeps. This indicates that it has
learned the new Master Tag and
exited Master Tag learning mode.
The controller is now ready for
standard operation.

USER TAG - PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS
PROGRAMMING FUNCTION USER ACTION CONTROLLER RESPONSE
Teaching the controller a new USER
TAG
1. Present the Master Tag to
the reader and keep it in the
reader field.
2. Remove the Master Tag and
present the new User Tag(s)
to be learned one at a time to
the reader.
3. After teaching the controller
the new User Tag(s), present
the Master Tag to the reader
again to exit User Tag learn
mode.
The controller responds with a single
beep. After a few seconds, the
controller responds with an additional
3 beeps indicating that it has entered
User Tag learn mode.
1 second after presenting a new User
Tag, the controller will respond with a
single beep. This indicates that the
controller has learned the new User
Tag.(Note: Should the controller
respond with 3 beeps instead, it is
indicating that the 1000 user limit
has been exceeded and that the
controller has exited User Tag learn
mode.)
The controller responds with 3 beeps
indicating that it has left User Tag
learn mode. (Note: Should the user
forget to exit User Tag learn mode,
the unit will automatically exit this
mode after 30 seconds.)
Note:
After completing this procedure,
present each tag to the reader, press
button S1 on the controller to display
the tag number and record this
number against the name of the user
in a register.
Repeat this exercise for all the new
tags entered into the system.
Note: Should an invalid card or tag be presented to the reader, the unit will NOT
respond with a beep and no user number will appear on the controller.

USER TAG - VOIDING INSTRUCTIONS

User Tag number that has to be
voided from the system. (Note:
By holding button S2 in, the
scrolling speed will increase.)
The controller responds with a single
beep. After a few seconds, the
controller responds with an additional 3
beeps indicating that it has entered
User Tag learn mode.
The controller responds with 3 beeps,
and after S2 is released,
is displayed. This indicates that the
controller has entered User Tag
Voiding mode.
The number displayed on the display is
the number of the User Tag that will be
voided from the system when button S1
is pressed.

(Note 1: The display shows the
memory location acted on rather than
whether there is a code or not. If
is displayed, that location has been
voided. If the display is incremented to
that memory location again, the location
number will be displayed again.)
(Note 2: The Master Tag memory
location can not be assessed unless the
whole memory is voided. See Master
Tag PROGRAMMING
INSTRUCTIONS.)
The unit responds with 3 beeps and
enters STANDARD MODE.

RELAY OUTPUT TIME PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTION
PROGRAMMING FUNCTION USER ACTION CONTROLLER RESPONSE
