When the reader is powered up a victory beep (4-quick beeps) is heard and the LED stays Red.

2.

Present the correct card and the reader will beep once and LED will flash on and off. It is up to the control panel to

control dual LED and have the LED turn green when an enrolled card is presented.

If reader does not recognize the card/tag (no beep, no LED flash) or reader has short read range, please see table below
for possible causes and solutions.

Possible Cause

Incorrect wiring

Not enough power

Mounted near electromagnetic interference

Incorrect card used 

Reader/access panel not properly grounded 

Supply generating electromagnetic interference 

Corrective Action

Verify wiring connection

12 VDC suggested

Relocate or provide greater separation from

Verify card compatibility from model number

Quality Earth Ground needed. Verify shield line from the access panel to the
reader is one continuous, connected line.

If any of the corrective actions mentioned above don’t work, please disconnect the reader from panel and power it with a
separate power supply or 9V battery and test card functionality. By powering it individually and off the installation most vari-
ables that can cause malfunction are eliminated. If after the reader is powered by a separate power source the failure per-
