Installation Procedure

 

1.

 

Position the reader 

(item b in the Parts List) at the desired location.  Observe ADA height requirements.          

Drill two 7/64 (0.109)-inch holes for the reader screws, and one clearance hole for the cable (see Figure 1). 

2.

 

Clip off the white connector from the end of the reader’s cable.  Keep the wires as long as possible. 

3.

 

Connect the reader’s cable to the access control panel as shown in Figure 2. 
Connect the 

yellow

 wire only if used for Beeper control by the panel. 

Do not connect

 the 

orange

blue

 and 

violet

 wires to anything.  

Tape or cap the unused wires singly.

 

4.

 

Use a linear regulated DC power source, between 5 volts (40 mA peak) and 12 volts (70 mA peak). 

5.

 

Install the reader on the doorframe or other surface.  Attach the reader to the doorframe with supplied screws 
(item c in the Parts List) or with adhesive or sealant. 

6.

 

Power up the reader.  The LED should be steady Amber.  (The beeper does not sound.) 

7.

 

Present a valid AWID proximity credential (card, keytag, or wafer) briefly to the reader.  The beeper sounds         

Long-Long-Short

 sequence.  The LED is steady Red to indicate standby mode.  The reader is now initialized and 

can read cards.  

Note

:  All credentials must be AWID’s own products. 

8.

 

The LED color in standby may be changed from Red to Green, or from Green to Red, using a 

Color Changer

 

card, available from AWID.  Remove power from the reader for a few seconds, then restore power.               
While the LED is Amber, present the Color Changer card to toggle the LED color at standby. 

9.

 

When installation is complete, insert screw-hole plugs (item d in the Parts List) into the screw clearance holes     
to conceal the screw heads.  Note: Screw-hole plugs are for one-time use.  After they are seated, they cannot       
be removed without damaging the plugs.
