Reader Test
– When power is applied to the MR-1824HiLo, the LED initializes to steady-red for standby,
and the beeper sounds. With every presentation of an AWID proximity card to the reader, the LED
changes color momentarily, and the beeper sounds briefly. Read range with a compatible AWID card is up
to 24 inches for the MR-1824HiLo units, and up to 16 inches for the MR-1824HiLoMC units.
7.
System Test
– Wire the reader to the system’s controller. Program the code for the AWID proximity card
or tag into the host system, with full priority, all doors groups, and all time zones. Present the card or tag
to the reader. Observe door unlock or gate opening, indicating “Access Granted” by the system.
