Installation Procedure
1.
Install a single-gang electrical utility box, or drill two no. 27 (0.144 inch) clearance holes for the reader screws
and one hole for the cable, at the desired location. Observe ADA height requirements.
2.
Snap open the reader’s top cover by inserting a wide screwdriver blade into the slot at the bottom edge of the cover,
then twisting the blade gently (see Figure 1).
Do not remove
the keypad from the reader.
3.
Clip off the white inline connector from the end of the reader’s cable. Keep the wires as long as possible.
4.
Connect the reader’s cable to the access control panel as shown in Figure 2. Connect the
yellow
wire only if used for
Beeper control by the panel. In steps 9 and 10, let the yellow wire
float
. Connect the
blue
wire only if used for Hold
control by the panel.
Do not connect
the
orange
and
violet
wires to anything.
Tape or cap all unused wires singly.
5.
Use a linear regulated DC power supply, between 5 volts (60 mA peak) and 12 volts DC (120 mA peak).
6.
Install the reader on the electrical utility box or other surface. Attach the reader to the electrical box with supplied
screws (item c in the Parts List).
7.
Hold the reader’s top cover over the base reader, and snap the cover closed securely.
8.
Power up the reader. The beeper sounds a single
Short
beep. The LED should be steady amber.
9.
While the LED is amber, enter the 10-digit password (
914 369 8800
). There is a short beep with each keystroke.
(For security, record this password and store it in a safe place.)
10.
Immediately enter the 5-character code
#ABC#
for the site code (or facility code) that you will program into the host
system to identify keypad PIN entry. “ABC” represents the 3-digit site code. There is a short beep with each keystroke.
·
Program the host system for 26-bit Wiegand format from keypad entry. The site code must be between 000 and 255.
·
If you do not enter the keypad’s site code, the KP-6840 Revision E Reader-Keypad enters a default site code of 000.
·
The site code for the keypad may be the
same as
or
different from
the site code of the credentials (cards, keytags
or wafers), depending on requirements of the host system or application.
11.
If programming is successful, the beeper sounds 1 long beep. Then the LED is red to indicate standby mode.
12.
If the beeper doesn’t sound and the LED doesn’t change to red, remove power from the reader, then repeat steps 8 to 11,
above. Enter the password and the site-code selection code with a steady hand, pressing each key for at least
0.5 second
.
Do not pause between the password and the 5-character code. Also, be sure that the
yellow
wire is disconnected from
the panel and floating.
13.
The LED color in standby mode may be changed from red to green, or from green to red, using a
Color Changer
card,
available from AWID. Remove power from the reader for a few seconds; then restore power. While the LED is amber,
present the Color Changer card to toggle the LED color at standby.
