Wiring
The AY-x12C is supplied with a 10-conductor 18” pigtail.
To connect the reader to the controller:
1.
Prepare the reader cable by cutting its jacket back about 3 cm
(1¼") and strip the insulation from the wires about 1.2 cm (½").
2.
Prepare the controller cable by cutting its jacket back 3 cm (1¼")
and strip the insulation from the wires about 1.2 cm (½").
3.
Splice the reader’s pigtail wires to the corresponding controller
wires (as indicated in Table 1) and cover each joint with insulating
tape.
4.
If the tamper output is being utilized, connect the purple wire to
the correct input on the controller.
5.
Trim and cover all unused conductors.
•
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 be preferably attached to an
earth ground, or a signal ground connection at the panel, or
power supply end of the cable. This configuration is best for
shielding the reader cable from external interference.

Operation Instructions
5.1
Testing
Once the reader is wired to a power supply and to the controller, you
should test the reader.
To test the reader:
1.
Power up the reader.
Upon power up, the reader flashes and beeps once during Self-
Test. The LED then turns red indicating the readers has entered
Standby mode.
2.
Apply a PROX card to the reader.
The reader flashes and beeps once indicating the card has been
read successfully.
5.2
Data Output Mode Line
The Data Output Mode Line is used to select whether the reader
outputs in Wiegand 26-Bit or Clock & Data format.
When the Mode Line is open, the reader outputs Wiegand 26-Bit.
When the Mode Line is pulled to ground, the reader outputs Clock &
Data.
5.3
LED Control
The reader has a bi-color (green/red) LED and two LED control lines,
one for green LED control (orange wire) and the other for the red LED
control (brown wire).
When both LED control lines are open, the reader self manages the
LED behavior. In Standby mode, the LED remains red. When a card is
presented, the LED flashes green and then returns to red.
When a LED control line is pulled to ground, the LED changes to the
related LED color and the self-management is disabled. If both LED
control lines are pulled to ground, the LED is amber colored.
5.4
Buzzer Control
When the Buzzer control line (yellow wire) is open, the reader self
manages the buzzer behavior and beeps when a card is read
successfully. When the Buzzer control line is pulled to ground, the
buzzer sounds.
5.5
Hold Control
When the Hold control line (blue wire) is open, the reader functions
normally. When the Hold line is pulled to ground, the hold function is
activated. When active and a card is read, no card data is sent on the
Wiegand lines; however, the reader continues to buffer the last card ID
read and sends that ID data when the Hold line is released.
