Operationa l Instructions

AY-E20 Instruction Manual Page 9

5. Operational Instructions

The AY-E20, once connected to standard access controller,
functions as a reader. This is indicated by one beep immediately
after power-on reset.

The following pages explain the operational instructions of the AY­E20.

5.1 Testing the AY-E20 and Card Reading

The AY-E20 should be tested after wiring it to the Contr o ller. To test
the AY-E20, perform the following:

1) Power-up the AY-E20. The LED and Beeper will activate one
time. This indicates that the AY-E20 is working properly.

2) Present the appropriate type of proximity card to the AY-E20.
The LED will momentarily flash green and a short beep will be
emitted. This indicates that the card was read properly by
the AY-E20.

3) Once the card’s data has been processed by the Controller,
the Controller can then switch the LED on the AY-E20 to
green. Refer to the relevant Contro ller instruction manual for
more information on controlling LED behavior via the
Controller.

5.2 Card Transmission Format Selection

To select the appropriate Card Transmission Format, perform one
of the following:

• 26-Bit Wiegand - the grey wire should be an open circuit

• Clock & Data - the grey wire should be held to ground

• Serial RS-232 - the grey wire should be held to +DC (VIN).

Operationa l Instructions

AY-E20 Instruction Manual Page 10

5.3 Tri-Color LED Color Control

The Tri-Color LED color can be controlled using the orange and
brown wires. To control the Tri-Color LED color, perform one of the
following:

• If the orange wire is held to ground the LED will light green

• If the brown wire is held to ground the LED will light red

• If both the brown and orange wires are held to ground the

LED will light amber

• If the orange and brown wires are not used (open) the LED
will remain red continuously and when successfully reading
a card the LED will flash green momentarily

5.4 Buzzer Control

The Buzzer can be controlled using the yellow wire. To control the
Buzzer, perform one of the following:

• If the yellow wire is held to ground the buzzer will sound

• If the yellow wire is not used (open) the buzzer will beep

only when a card is read successfully

5.5 Card Read/Hold Control

The reading of cards can be disabled using the blue wire. To
control the reading of cards, perform one of the following:

• If the blue wire is held to ground the reader will ignore all
cards placed in its field

• If the blue wire is not used (open) the reader will read all
compatible cards normally

5.6 Tamper Output

The AY-E20 has an optical tamper s ensor; when the sensor detects
light the tamper output is held open collector; when the sensor
does not detect light the tamper output is held to ground.
