2. Setup and Installation
2.1 Mounting
Select a suitable mounting location, ensuring it is secure and provides adequate space for wiring. The AYCE55 is designed for surface mounting. Use appropriate screws and anchors for the wall material. Ensure the unit is level and securely fastened to prevent tampering or accidental dislodgement.
2.2 Wiring
Connect the AYCE55 to the power supply and, if applicable, to the access control panel according to the wiring diagram provided in the full product manual. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated. Pay close attention to polarity for power connections. For Wiegand or Clock & Data interfaces, connect the data lines to the corresponding inputs on your access control panel. It is highly recommended that installation and wiring be performed by a qualified technician.

3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Standalone Mode
In standalone mode, the AYCE55 manages user PINs directly. To program new user PINs, enter the master code followed by the programming sequence. Refer to the detailed programming guide for specific steps on adding, deleting, or modifying user PINs and system settings. The unit will activate the connected lock mechanism upon successful PIN entry.
3.2 Reader Mode
When connected to an external access control panel, the AYCE55 functions as a reader. It transmits the entered PIN data to the panel, which then processes the authentication and controls the lock. In this mode, all user management and access decisions are handled by the connected access control system.
3.3 PIN Entry
To gain access, simply enter your valid PIN using the numeric keypad. The green LED indicator will illuminate upon successful entry, and the connected lock will activate. An incorrect PIN entry will typically result in a red LED flash and an audible error tone.

4. Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your AYCE55 reader, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface of the reader. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, but ensure no liquid enters the unit. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish and internal components.
- Environmental Conditions: While designed for durability, avoid exposing the unit to extreme temperatures, direct prolonged sunlight, or excessive moisture. Ensure proper sealing during installation to protect against water ingress if installed outdoors.
- Inspection: Periodically check the wiring connections for any signs of wear or corrosion. Ensure the unit remains securely mounted.
