4. Wiring Instructions
The AY-Z12 Reader is supplied with an 18” pigtail, comprising a 6-
conductor cable.
To connect the Reader to the Controller:
1. Prepare the Reader cable by cutting its jacket back 1¼” and
strip the insulation from the wires, ½”.
2. Prepare the Controller cable by cutting its jacket back 1¼”
and strip the insulation from the wires, ½”.
3. Splice the Reader’s pigtail wires to the corresponding
Controller wires and cover each joint with insulating tape.
If the tamper output is being utilized, connect the purple wire
to the correct input on the Controller.

4. Trim and cover all unused conductors.
Note:
• The individual wires from the Reader are color-coded according
the Wiegand standard.
• When using a separate power supply for the Reader, this supply
and that of the Controller, must have a common ground.
• The Reader’s cable shield wire should preferably be attached
to an earth ground, or a signal ground connection at the panel,
or power supply end of the cable. This configuration is best for
shielding the Reader cable from external interference
