1. Position the reader (item b in the Parts List) at the desired location. Observe ADA height requirements.
Drill two 7/64 (0.109) - inch holes for the reader screws, and one clearance hole for the cable (see Figure 1).

3. 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.
Do not connect the orange , blue and violet wires to anythi ng. Tape or cap the unused wires singly.
4. Use a linear regulated DC power source, between 5 volts (40 mA peak) and 12 volts (70 mA peak).
