Mounting Instructions 
• Determine an appropriate mounting location. The reader 
may be mounted to any surface, including metal. 
• Drill two (2) 5/64-inch (2mm) holes approximately 1 inch 
deep for mounting the reader. 
• Drill a 5/8-inch (16mm) hole for the cable. 
• Remove the snap-on cover from the reader and secure 
the reader to the mounting surface. 
• Route the cable from the reader and/or power supply to 
the host. A linear type power supply is recommended. 
Check all electrical codes for proper cable installation. 
• Test the operation of the reader. After completion of the 
test, replace the snap-on cover. 
• For proper regulatory compliance, the drain wire should 
be disconnected at the power supply end of the cable. 
• Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the 
party responsible for compliance could void the user’s 
authority to operate the equipment. 
• The Reader is intended to be powered from a limited 
power source output of a previously certified power 
supply. 
• In cold climates (-20°F), when operating the Reader from 
a 5V power supply, limit the cable distance to 200ft. For 
longer cable distances, 12V is required.
Connecting the Reader to the Host 
Connect the reader to the host according to the wiring 
table below and the host installation guide.

Testing and Operation 
• When power is applied to the reader the LED will 
flash green three (3) times while the beeper beeps 
simultaneously. The LED will then turn red. This 
indicates that the microcontroller is operating 
properly. 
• Present an ID card to the reader. The LED will 
momentarily turn green while the beeper beeps 
once, indicating that the card was read 
successfully.
