11. Wiring Alternatives for Lights and Sound

Several operational alternatives exist for the LEDs and the audio transducer. The

following table lists the associated wires.

Optional Connections

Orange Green LED

Brown Red LED

Yellow Audio

Tying any of these wires to ground while the unit is powered will cause activation

of the associated feature. For example, many existing readers have an LED which

glows red by default when the reader is at rest. Tying the brown wire permanently

to ground will cause the S6400 reader to have the same effect. In this state, upon

activation by a card, the light will momentarily switch to green, and then back to

red.

As another example, if the unit is tied to a controller, which momentarily unlocks a

door, it may be desired to have the green light glow and the audio transducer sound

for the duration in which the door is unlocked. Tying the yellow and orange wires

to the (-) controller output to which the door lock is connected will produce this

effect.

For more information regarding the optional wiring connections, including the hold

feature, consult the User’s Guide.

12. Self-Test Mode

The readers are equipped with a self-test mode that allows them to cycle through

their functions and report the results through the LED. To put the reader into self-

test mode, connect the following wire pairs together, then apply power to the reader.

Wire: Green Violet White Blue

Connect To:

Orange Brown Yellow Gray

Proper operation is indicated by the LED blinking green. The LED will turn to

solid red and the unit will beep once within three seconds after a card is brought into

the field. The flashing green light will return once the card has been removed from

the field. See the User’s Guide for more information about self-test mode.

CAUTION:

The unit is not intended to operate in self-test mode

indefinitely, as it operates above its standard duty-

cycle.

Leaving a badge in the field longer than 3 minutes while the

unit is in self-test mode may cause the unit to overheat.
