EM Reader Installation and Operation Guide

1.0 Overview

1.1 Introduction

The EM Reader is designed to read and report EM compatible 4000 and 4100 series “read only”

credentials in 26 bit Wiegand format. The reader supports credentials programmed in either F/32 or

F/64 data rates and data coded as Manchester. A bi-color LED and beeper provide visual and audible

confirmation of power and data delivery to the host.

1.2 Unpacking and Identifying Supplied Parts

Unpack the contents and become familiar with the components. The following items will be included with

the EM readers:

1. Installation guide

2. EM Reader

3. Housing label cover

2.0 Installation

2.1 Mechanical Installation

2.1.1 Mounting

EM readers mount to a door frame by drilling two holes sized for 6-32, or M-3 sheet metal or thread-

forming screws 4.92” (125mm) separation. Locate and drill a 0.375” (0.95 cm) hole for the reader cable.

See drawing below for details.

Route the cable through the center hole to the controller. Using the two 6-32 or M-3 screws attach the

reader to the two mounting holes.

• The Shield wire is not terminated within the reader. 3.0 Operation When power is first applied to the reader, it performs an internal circuit check. If it is functioning properly, the reader will flash the Green LED, beep three times, enter ready mode, and display the Red LED. 3.1 Presenting the Card To obtain maximum read range, present the card to the reader (keeping the card parallel to the reader), and move it toward the face of the reader until the reader beeps and flashes.
