Installation Steps
WARNING
To prevent damage to equipment, make all
connections with power off.
1 If the reader is to be mounted on a mullion or firm flat
surface, pull an appropriate length and gauge of cable
between the host and mullion.
2 If the reader is to be mounted on a flat surface rather than a
handy box, use the reader base both as a template to
establish drill locations for suitable molly fasteners, etc. (not
provided), and as a guide to remove sufficient material for
wire clearance. Then pull the appropriate wire between the
host and reader location.
3. Connect the wires of the pigtail assembly to the cable end at
the reader location. Connections can be crimped or made
with twist on wire nuts.

4 Connect the other end of the cable to the host controller
being sure to follow the appropriate color code and wire lead
functions.
5 Verify that the cards to be read are encoded with the
selected data format.
6. Observe the reader LED; it should flash green four times as a
self-test when first powered on. If this is not the case, or it
continues with short double flashes, a problem exists, refer to
the Diagnostic Tests section.
Keypad Data
The model 240 keypad sends data keystroke-by-keystroke to
the host controller in an 8-bit (per keystroke). data format. See
Dorado by HID Application Note 20 for details.
Diagnostic Tests
The Model 230 Proximity Card Readers are factory calibrated
and is not field serviceable.
1 A card with the expected card format will cause the reader
LED to "wink" dark and the buzzer to sound for 0.1 second
while outputting data to the host.
2 Direct substitution with a known good reader is the best way
to isolate the problem.
3 If the reader is exchanged and the problem still exists,
measure the voltage drop at the reader between the RED
(Positive) and the BLACK (Common) wire with the reader
connected to the host. It should measure between 5 and
24.0 VDC. Low voltage is a common source of problems.
4 Verify that the card used to test is a known good card, and is
authorized in host memory. Verify the reader options are set
correctly for that particular host, and the proper "Comparison
Number" or site code has been recorded in host memory.
5 Verify the wiring, continuity, and connections between reader
and host. If possible, switch the reader input wiring at the
host to another known good input terminal group.
6 If the problem still cannot be resolved, contact Dorado by
HID Technical Support, [phone].
