mounting holes and two wire holes.
5. Drill a
1
/2” hole in the mounting location
through which wires can be run to the
proximity card reader.
6. Permanently screw the base to the
mounting location.
7. Run the wires from the power supply,
egress button, door unlocking device, and
other accessories as needed through the
hole to connect to the terminal block.
8. Connect the appropriate wires to the
proximity card reader’s terminal block.

Wiring the Proximity Card Reader:
Terminals 1 & 2 – 12VDC Power input:
1. Connect terminal 1 (+) to the positive output of a 12VDC power supply.
2. Connect terminal 2 (–) to the negative output of the power supply. Terminal 2 is also the
grounding point of the egress button.
NOTE: The 12VDC power supply must supply enough amperage to also power the door
lock/unlock device.
Terminals 3 & 4 – 12VDC Power output for the door lock/unlock device:
1. These terminals provide a max of 3A to power the door lock/unlock device.
2. Connect terminal 3 (+) to the positive input of the 12VDC door lock/unlock device.
3. Connect terminal 4 (–) to the negative input of the 12VDC door lock/unlock device.
NOTE: The door lock/unlock output is programmable for fail-safe or fail-secure operation via the
door lock selection jumper. See below to program for fail-safe or fail-secure operation.
a. Fail-safe electric locks – power ON to lock, OFF to unlock.
b. Fail-secure electric locks – power OFF to lock, ON to unlock.
Terminal 5 – EG IN (Egress input for a N.O. pushbutton egress button):
1. Mount one or more N.O. pushbuttons inside the protected premises as a way for someone
without a proximity card to easily unlock the electronic door lock and leave the room.
2. Connect one terminal of the N.O. pushbutton to terminal 5, and the other to the negative input
of the 12VDC power supply (terminal 2).
3. Multiple buttons can be connected in parallel.
Terminal 6 – Data I/O port: Reserved for future use.
Terminals 7 & 8 – Doorbell relay output:
1. Connect to an optional N.O. doorbell or buzzer with a maximum draw of 1A@24VDC.
2. The doorbell sounds for as long as the bell button on the proximity card reader is held.
Terminals 9 & 10 – Tamper switch output:
1. N.C. Output, closed while the proximity card reader is properly attached to its base plate.
2. Connect to the tamper circuit of an optional alarm system.
3. If the proximity card reader is taken off its base, the tamper switch will trigger the alarm system.
Door Lock Selection Jumper:
1. SAFE (For fail-safe operation)
2. SECURE (For fail-secure operation)

ENFORCER Indoor Proximity Card Reader
Use the following wiring diagrams to wire the ENFORCER PR-312S-PQ Proximity Card Reader for
typical installations:
N.O. Egress button
(inside room)
More N.O. egress
buttons can be
connected in parallel
*See Door Lock Selection Jumper
1. SAFE – for fail-safe operation
2. SECURE – for fail-secure operation
NOTE 1: Connect the included 1N4004 diode as close as possible to the lock in parallel with the power
terminals of the lock to prevent electromagnetic feedback from damaging the reader. The
1N4004 diode is not required when using SECO-LARM electric locks.
Door Bell N.O. (Optional)
The N.C. tamper switch triggers the alarm when
the reader is removed from the base. Connect
these terminals in series with a 24-hour N.C.
protection zone of an alarm system if required.
24-Hour N.C.
Protection Zone
The doorbell is optional. The doorbell contact on the
reader triggers a low-power door chime only. DO NOT
use it as a high-voltage power path for a doorbell. The
maximum power rating of the contact is 1A@24VDC.
