DC-1023 - 6 - 8/6/2010 Your best option for Proximity Access Control to the Reader, until a BEEP occurs. The BEEP indicates that the Reader detects and read the card. In order to read again, the card must be fully withdrawn from the Reader’s field of surveillance and then re-approached again. During normal operation, the card can be presented at any angle relative to the Reader, however this will result in slight variation of read range. Note: Do not "wave" the card in front of the Reader. "Waving" the card in front of the Reader will result in a diminished read range. 3 PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION 3.1 SITE SURVEY Always conduct a site survey before starting installation, avoid any possible sources of interference. If the Reader is not installed properly, the performance will be degraded or more seriously the Reader may be damaged. The following is a list of installation procedures that should be followed during installation: • Do not install the Reader in an area where sources of broadband noise may exist. Examples of broadband noise sources are motors, pumps, generators, DC-AC or DA-AC converters, non-interruptible power supplies, AC switching relays, light dimmers, CRT's, induction heater, ultrasonic welder etc. • Do not bundle the reader wires together in one conduit with the AC power cables, lock power, and other signal wiring. • Keep all the Reader wiring at least 12 inches (30 cm) away from all other wiring, which includes but not limited to, AC power, computer data wiring, telephone wiring and wiring to electrical locking devices. • Do not install the reader within 12 inches (30 cm) of a computer CRT terminal. 3.2 PREFERRED READER INSTALLATION PRACTICES • Make sure that the supply voltage of the Reader is within specification. As a rule of thumb, higher supply voltage results in longer read range but at the expense of higher power consumption. • Use cables with over-all shield (Screen). • For best results, run the cable in an individual conduit with at least 12 inches distance from the AC power, computer data cables and cables for electrical locking devices. • Use recommended cable. Do not use any un-shield "Twisted Pair" type cable. • Use the largest wire gauge possible. • Use dedicated and linearly regulated power supply, where applicable. • Use Single Point Grounding (Earthing). No ground loops. 3.3 METAL MOUNTING The Reader is pre-compensated for mounting on metal utility boxes. Formatted: Bullets and Numbering
DC-1023 - 7 - 8/6/2010 Your best option for Proximity Access Control 3.4 GENERAL WIRING REQUIREMENTS All the Reader wiring must be continuously shielded. AWID recommends using #22 AWG up to #18 AWG, six or seven-conductor shielded cables. Longer distances and higher current consumption on the power supply line will require larger gauge wires. Refer to Table 1 and Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3 on the following pages to determine your data lines’ wiring requirement. Due to system data termination differences, contact your panel manufacturer for their specific requirements. WIRE SIZE #22 AWG (0.6mm Dia) #18 AWG (1.2mm Dia) WEIGAND 500ft (152 meters) 980 ft (300 meters) RS-232 50 ft (15 meters) 50 ft (15 meters) Table 1 Data Line’s Wiring Requirement NOTE: WHEN USING AN EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY, ALWAYS USE A LINEAR POWER SUPPLY, DO NOT USE A SWITCHING POWER SUPPLY. 3.5 POWER SUPPLY AVOID using a single power supply for Reader and the magnetic lock. Doing so will affect the Reader operation and can damage the Reader. 3.6 GROUNDING Grounding is critical for proper operation of the Reader. When installing the Reader, it is crucial to assure that the earth ground is the best ground available. If you elect to use the AC main power ground, conduct a test by measuring its resistance relative to a known good ground, such as a cold water pipe or a structural steel that is in direct contact with the ground. This resistance should be less than 50 ohms. If you find that the AC main power does not provide adequate earth ground, try using a solid connection to a cold water pipe or for best results drive your own copper clad ground rod into the earth for the ground point. For multiple Reader installations, it is critical that all Readers are connected to a single ground point. Using multiple ground points will create secondary current paths or ground loops that can affect the performance and cause damage to the Reader. 3.7 WIRING DIAGRAMS The Reader is designed for Wiegand and RS-232 standard communication formats; use Figure 1 for Wiegand format installation and Figure 2for RS-232 format installation, and use Figure 3 for combined Wiegand and RS-232 installation. If an external power supply is being used, leave the Panel’s Ground and Power terminals open and connect the Reader’s Ground (Black) and 5-12VDC (Red) terminals to the external power supply.

DC-1023 - 10 - 8/6/2010 Your best option for Proximity Access Control 4.2 INSTALLATION STEPS 1. Prepare the single-gang electrical wiring box for Reader mounting. Observe ADA requirements. 2. If double-gang electrical box is used, drill through the four blind mounting holes on the four corners of the Reader. 3. Guide the open end of the Panel’s control cable through the access hole on the electrical junction box. Secure the cable by tightening the cable clamp. 4. Remove the Snap-On cover of the Reader (item b of the parts list) 5. Connect the Reader and the Panel together according to Figure 1 for Wiegand format, Figure 2 for RS-232 format and Figure 3 for Wiegand/RS-232 format. 6. Setup for the RS-232 is: 9600 baud rate, 1 start bit, 1 stop bit, no parity. 4.3 VERIFICATION 1. Power up the Panel, the LED on the Reader should show RED. 2. Place a “good” card in front of the Reader. The reader will give out “ONE” audible BEEP and the LED will change from RED to AMBER momentarily and then flashing between RED & GREEN. The Reader will stay flashing until the card is removed from the reader. You can repeat this action by placing the card in front of the reader after the LED turned RED. If the Panel did not right it must be powered off/on to re initialize. 4.4 MOUNTING 1. Connect the remaining wires to the Panel. 2. Mount the Reader securely to the electrical junction box with #6-32x1 machine screw, (Item c on Parts List.) 3. Install the Snap-On cover. 5 Warranty AWID’s products are warranted to the original purchaser to be free of defects in material and workmanship for the life of the product.

AWID reserves the option to replace or repair returned merchandise. Items returned to AWID without the proper authorization will be returned to the originators at their own expense. 7 Troubleshooting This unit, if not installed in strict compliance with AWID’s installation instructions, may not function to specifications. Use the checklist below to identify the problem: • Is the card valid and working? - Try some different cards! • Is the reader wired correctly? - RED-BLK :5-12V, reader should work • Is the unit grounded properly? - DRAIN-EARTH: less than 50 Ohms • Is the card presented correctly? - Card face parallel to reader face • Is a power supply correct? - No switching power supply please! • Is reader voltage/current correct? - 5-12V @ 150mA typical • Is the environment free from electromagnetic interference? - Run cable away from other data carrying cables, reader away from electromagnetic interference sources! When troubleshooting, try to identify the source of the problem to a unit level. “Is the problem originating from the panel?” Or “is the problem originating from the Reader? “ Maybe the problem “is the power supply?” All AWID’s readers will need only a power supply and a valid card to work properly. If the reader is only connected with RED (+5-12V) and BLACK (Ground), and presented with a valid card, the reader will BEEP and momentarily turned AMBER. If the Card stays within the reader zone of surveillance, the LED on the reader will become flashing RED and GREEN. When the card is removed, the LED will return to RED, signifying it has returned to stand-by mode. When the reader works according to the tests above, the reader is working properly. Do not cycle the power supply ON and OFF in rapid succession. Each power has its unique “decay” characteristics, turning the power supply ON and OFF in rapid succession can cause the Microcontroller to lock-up, due to improper initialization. Always turn the power supply OFF and count 10 seconds before turning ON again. To check the validity of the output data in the absence of a panel, you will need to build a patch cable between the reader and a PC. Call AWID’s Technical Support for details. If problem persists, consult the system manufacturer. If problem is the reader, consult AWID’s Technical Assistance Department.
