Testing and Operation
The reader should be tested after wiring it to the COM1000.
• When power is applied to the reader the LED will flash green three (3) times while the beeper beeps
simultaneously. The LED will then turn an amber color and then to red. This indicates that the reader’s internal
microcontroller is operating properly.
• Present an ID card to the reader. The LED will momentarily turn green while the beeper beeps once, indicating
that the card was read successfully.
• If the card ID number is found to be present in the COM1000 access list, the reader LED will turn green. If the card
ID is not present in the COM1000 access list, the reader LED will remain red.
• If the *WAPP is set to control the relay, you should hear the relay turn on when a matched card is read. If the relay
is not activating, check to ensure of the *WAPP applications are set to 6. If that is set properly, then it could be the
relay is ‘stuck’ in the on/energized position because nothing is set to tell it to de-energize. If you believe this is the
case, you will want to make sure that the relay auto-off timer is activated. This value is set to close the relay after
‘x’ seconds. That will ensure that the relay resets itself to prepare for the next card read. This value can be found
under the RELAY tab of the COM1000 Configuration Utility or can be set using the AT Command
AT*ROFFAUTO. The value is in seconds. (Example; AT*ROFFAUTO=15 set the auto-off timer to 15 seconds).
