When troubleshooting, try to identify the source of the problem to a unit level. “Is the problem
from the panel?” Or “is the problem originated from the Reader? “ Maybe the problem “is the
power supply?”
All AWID’s readers will need only a power supply and a valid card to work properly. If the
reader is only connected with RED (+5-12V) and BLACK (Ground), the reader will BEEP and
momentarily turned AMBER, when a valid card is presented. If the Card stays within the reader
zone of surveillance, the LED on the reader will become flashing GREEN. When the card is
removed, the LED will return to RED, signifying it has returned to stand-by mode. When the
reader works according to the tests above, the reader is working properly.
Do not cycle the power supply ON and OFF in rapid succession. Each power has its unique
“decay” characteristics, turning the power supply ON and OFF in rapid succession can cause
the Microcontroller to lock-up, due to improper initialization. Always turn the power supply OFF
and count 10 seconds before turning ON again.
To check the validity of the output data in the absence of a panel, you will need to build a patch
cable between the reader and a PC. Call AWID’s technical support for details.
If problem persists, consult the system manufacturer. If problem is the reader, consult AWID’s
Technical Assistance Department. AWID help desk is opened from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM
Eastern Standard Time, and can be reached by dialing 1-800-369-5533.
