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.
Linear power supply recommended
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-
