Step 5: Mount the Reader
Mount the reader using the screws supplied. To provide additional protection to the
terminal blocks and rotary switch, we recommend that you seal around the reader
using a mastic or similar sealant.
Step 6: Test
To ensure that the reader is operating correctly, check that:
1.
The LED is flashing green (normal wait state).
2. An ‘allowed card’ swiped at the reader causes a double beep and a solid green
LED for approximately 3 seconds (allow state).
3. A ‘denied card’ swiped at the reader causes a double beep and a solid red LED
for approximately 3 seconds (deny state).
•
If the LED flashes orange, there is a communication problem to the ACU. Check
that the ACU is operating normally, that the reader is connected to the ACU and
the power supply, and that the RS485 address is unique.
• If the LED and/or buzzer remain on permanently, the reader is experiencing
operational problems. Check that the reader has adequate power and that it is
correctly connected to the ACU.
