3.1 The Installation Kit

The Installation kit comprises of the following items used during the installation procedure:

• One Installation Template

• Four pan head screws & wall plugs

• One L shaped security screw tool

• Three Security screws

3.2 Installing the AY-Z12A Long Range Reader:

Figure 2: Removing th e Top Co ver

Figure 2 shows the front view of the AY-Z12A Long-Range Reader.
When installing the reader, you must remove the sn ap-o ff cover to

access the screw holes.

AY-Z12A Installation Manual Page 5

Installation

The Reader must be mounted with the appropriate screw s (not supplied), as described in the template provided.

Installing the unit on metal surfaces will reduc e t h e r ead ra n ge considerably, to decrease t he affect of the metal surface use Rosslare’s MP-Z02 Spacer (sold separately) as described in the image below for a max range of 43cm (17 inch).

Figure 3: Install in g th e unit with the MP-Z02 s pacer

3.2.1. Single Reader Installation

The AY-Z12A Long-Range Reader is designed to function with the
best performance when installed isolated fro m other AY-Z12A long
range readers at least in a range of 2-4 meters, the reader is
therefor preconfigured as a single installation reader. See Single
Reader Configuration, on page 9, for detailed configuration
instructions.

AY-Z12A Installation Manual Page 6

Installation

3.2.2. Multiple Reader Installation

Although designed to work in an isolated environment, it is possible to ins tall multip le r eaders within a range of 2-4 meters, however the read range will reduce by 20-30 percent.

When installing multiple readers, configure each of the readers in the close environment for multiple reader insta llation.

We do not recommend multiple readers be installed less than two (2) meters apart due to r edu ced range caused by inter ference between readers.

See Multiple Reader Configuration, on page 10, for detailed configuration instructions.

3.2.3. Installation process

The physical installation of the unit is described below.

To Install the Reader:

1. Determine an approximate location for th e installation of the Reader.

2. Peel off the back of the self-adhesive installation label template and locate it at the required location.

3. Using the template as a guide, drill holes (the size of which are indicated in the template) to install the Reader or spacer onto the surface.

4. Drill a 7/16” (10mm) ho le for the cable. In the event that you
are installing the reader on metal, place a grommet or
electrical tape around t h e ed g e of the hole and use the MP­Z02 spacer.

5. Route the interface cab le from the Reader to the Cont r oller. A linear type power supply is recommended.

4. Wiring and Configuration Instructions

Follow the wiring and configuration instructions below based on the installation type you are utilizing.

4.1 Wiring instructions

The AY-Z12A Reader is supplied with an 18” pigtail, comprising a 6­conductor cable.

To connect the Reader to the Controller:

1. Prepare the Reader cable by cutting its jacket back 1¼” an d strip the insulation from the wires, ½”.

2. Prepare the Controller c able by cutting its jacket bac k 1¼” and strip the insulation from the wires, ½”.

3. Splice the Reader’s pigtail wires to the correspond ing Controller wires and cover each joint with insulating tape.

If the tamper output is being utilized, connect the purple wire to the correct input on the Controller.

Shield / Ground Black Ground

4. Trim and cover all unused conductors.

AY-Z12A Installation Manual Page 8

Wiring and Configuration Instructions

Note:

connection at the panel,

• The individual wires from the Reader are color-coded according

the Wiegand standard.

• When using a separate power supply for the Reader, this supply

and that of the Controller, must have a common ground.

• The Reader’s cable shield wire should preferably be attached

to an earth ground, or a signal ground
or power supply end of the cable. This configuration is best for
shielding the Reader cable from external interference

4.2 Single Reader Configuration

For single reader installation, follow the configuration process below, this process is not required with new readers as it comes preconfigured from the factory to function as a single door reader.

To configure a single reader installation mode:

1. Turn the reader power OFF

2. Connect the Data 1 wire (White cable) to Grou n d .

3. Leave the LED Control wire (Brown cable) floating.

4. Turn the reader power ON

5. Connect the LED Control wire (Brown cable) to Ground.

6. Release the LED Control wire from the Ground.

7. The Reader’s LED starts flashing continuously and the Buzzer sounds.

8. Turn the reader power OFF

9. Disconnect the Data 1 wire (White cable) from the Ground.

10. The Reader configuration for single reader installation is complete.

.

– Reader LED turns Orange.

5. Operation Instructions

Test the AY-Z12A long-range reader after wiring it to a power supply and a Controller.

To test the Reader:

1. Power up the Reader. The LED flashes on power up, and the
Beeper sounds twice, at which point it begins an auto­calibration procedure, this can take up to two seconds, when
the calibration is comp lete a third beep will sound , thus
indicating that the Reader is working properly. The LED returns
to its idle state (red).

2. Present the appropriat e t ype of proximity card to the R ead er. The LED will flash green briefly and a s h o rt beep is emitted, thus indicating that the card was read proper ly.

The Reader transmits the card's data to the Controller; the
Controller checks the data, if the card transmission is valid, the
LED changes briefly to green. Refer to the Controller’s description
of LED operation for Controllers with Reader LED control. The LED
then returns to its idle state ( red )

The range is measured us ing a Rosslare Proximity Card (P/N AT­11/12) or equivalent. Th e ran g e also depends on electrica l
environment and/or proximity to metal.
