Testing Readers
This section describes the test procedures for magnetic stripe and Wiegand
readers. You can bench test readers by not connecting them to the apC/L.
When you complete the test, reset the address switch to its original setting.
To test a reader for normal operation:
1. Set the reader address switch to 9.
2. Power up the reader. (Use 12V DC from the apC/L or a regulated power
supply.)
For standard RM-2 readers, the LEDs on the reader indicate whether the test
procedure is successful. The next 17 steps describe each LED response. If
your reader does not have a keypad, perform only Steps 17 and 18.
