Not Connected
(Crimp)
All connections are made to
a 3 ft (1 m) flying lead. 10
cable crimps are included for
joining connectors to the
cable from the controlling
system. Cable gauge
depends on distance from
the door controller to reader.
When using 0.22 mm² (24
AWG) cable, you should
twist the wires together and
double them over before
inserting them in the crimp.

The Readykey K2200

the connection of two

Operation
The reader LED will normally be red when the door is locked. When a key is presented within range of the
reader, and the key is valid for that door at that time, the LED will go green and the lock will release. The
LED will stay green while the lock is released.
5.1
Tamper Protection (Readykey format)
To ensure complete tamper protection the DR1 or DC terminal of the door controller should be connected to
the blue lead of the reader. If a door contact is being used then this should be connected in series with
DR1/DC and the blue lead. See the door controller installation manual for full details of how to set up tamper
protection and alarm monitoring.
5.2
Sounder Operation (not Vandal Resistant)
The internal sounder will operate if the yellow lead is grounded. The sounder will continue until the
connection to ground is broken. A relay, such as provided on the Readykey K2200 series controllers, may be
used to provide this operation under various conditions, e.g. Door Left Open.
Note:
The yellow wire is retained for the vandal resistant reader to allow the installer to set the output format.
ID devices will not be read while the sounder is operating.
