Introduction
This is the GE Smart Card Reader Installation Instructions for
models AL-1191 and AL-1193. The smart card reader is a multifunction, all-purpose proximity card reader suitable for all locations (including outdoors) that require a short-range reader. You
can connect the reader directly to the Alliance system RS485
databus.
You can configure the reader through the control panel menu
when it is connected to the system databus, through the DGP
menu when it is connected to the local databus, or you can use a
configuration card. Refer to the Smart Card Reader Program-
ming Manual for more information.
The AL-1191 model is shipped with a white removable cover
(there are five other colors available).

Installation
You should program the reader and change the default address
(16) before you install the reader. Refer to the Smart Card
Reader Programming Manual for programming details.
You can mount the reader on any flat surface with two #6 (3 to
3.5 mm diameter) panhead screws (Figure 1). We do not recommend using countersunk screws.
You will experience a slightly reduced range if you mount the
reader on a metal surface. If you mount the AL-1191 reader
outdoors, ensure that the blue LED is at the top.
To mount the reader, do the following:
1. Gently pry the AL-1191 cover sides away from the main
reader body to remove cover and expose the mounting
screws. Do not use excessive force or the reader can be
irreparably damaged.
2. Mount the reader using the mounting screws.
3. Gently press the cover over the main body of the AL-1191
reader until it locks into place.

output.
Absolute maximum, 14 V at 25 mA
This is a low current output and must not be
used to directly energize high current door
openers.
Used to terminate RS485 bus when the reader
is the last device on the bus.
Install across D+ (white) and D- (green).

Tamper
The reader has a tamper feature. When the reader is connected to
the system databus, tamper data is transmitted to the Alliance
system with system data. You can configure a tamper control for
both online and offline operation using an external open collector
output (violet wire)
