LED Indicators 

 
Look on the left hand edge of the decoder circuit board (the one that 
has the gold wheel spinning).  There are LED indicators for several 
functions located in a column.  From top to bottom they are: 
 

Gd Read 

(Green) - will light for approx 1 second when a decal is read 

Lsr Act 

(Yellow) - should be on when the laser is on 

Rst Act 

(Green) - will light when the unit is being reset 

Data0 Act 

(Red) 

Data1 Act 

(Red) 

These LED’s indicate when the Wiegand communication lines (data 0 
and data 1) are active.  When the BA-220 DualBeam is not 
transmitting, the LED’s should be off.  If one or both of the LED’s are 
on constantly the data line is connected to ground.  Remove the wires 
connected to Wiegand 1 and Wiegand 0 and see if the LED’s go off.  
If they do, the wiring may be at fault.  Trace the communication wiring 
and be sure it is connected properly to the access control equipment. 
 

Loop In 

(Yellow) - will light when the loop input is active 

DigLo

 (Yellow) - will light when data is flowing from receiver board 

DigHi

 (Yellow) - will light when data is flowing from receiver board 

Diag

 (Green) - will light when decoder is in programming mode 

Heat

 (Red) - will light when heater is turned on 

Sync

 (Green) - will light when gold wheel is spinning 

 
Reading a test barcode: 
Refer to page 28 for how the barcode must be held for the BA-220 
DualBeam to read it.  Then, pass the barcode through the laser line.  
The green indicator on the outside of the box should light up for 
approximately 1 second to show that the barcode was read.  Also, Gd 
Read (green) on the left edge of the decoder circuit board should also 
light up for 1 second.
