2. Physical Dimension
The reader has a rectangular form factor with overall dimensions approximately 77mm wide by 120mm high. A depth of 22mm is indicated, along with other detailed measurements for mounting and component placement. The diagram shows key dimensions including 77mm width, 120mm height, 22mm depth, and specific measurements for mounting points and overall layout.
3. Installation
Important Notes:
- Kindly refer to the "4 Wiring Connections" section before hardware installation.
- Do not overtighten the back plate screws during installation to prevent distortion.
Steps:
- Mount the back plate onto the wall or electrical back box (120 type, American spec.). (Diagram A)
- Connect the wires in accordance with the wiring instructions provided. (Diagram B)
- Ensure the reader's upper cover guides are aligned with the back plate. (Diagram C)
- Install the reader upper cover onto the back plate. (Diagram D)
- Use the hex key wrench to fasten the screw onto the bottom of the reader. (Diagram E)
- Tear off the protective film. (Diagram F)
Diagram descriptions: Diagram A shows mounting the back plate. Diagram B illustrates wire connections. Diagram C depicts aligning the reader's top guides. Diagram D shows attaching the reader cover. Diagram E illustrates fastening with a hex key. Diagram F indicates removing protective film.
4. Wiring Connections
Before mounting the reader, set the NODE ID using the DIP Switch (binary number system). The component positions may vary by model.
Node ID Settings
Refer to the chart below for Node ID configuration. ON = 1, OFF = 0.
| Node ID | Configuration (DIP 1-5) | Dip(6) Function |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 00000 | Dip(6) is card format selection. ON is for reading the document, and OFF is for reading the serial number. |
| 1 | 10000 | |
| 2 | 01000 | |
| 3 | 11000 | |
| 4 | 00100 | |
| 5 | 10100 | |
| 6 | 01100 | |
| 7 | 11100 | |
| 8 | 00010 | |
| 9 | 10010 | |
| 10 | 01010 | |
| 11 | 11010 | |
| 12 | 00110 | |
| 13 | 10110 | |
| 14 | 01110 | |
| 15 | 11110 |
A separate diagram shows DIP switch positions and labels like "Case Sensor" and "Reserved".

Notes on Wiring:
- Kindly use minimum 22AWG double-shielded aluminum mylar foil twisted pair cable for the connection between the reader and the controller.
- To reduce long-distance noise, the isolated net of the transmission cable should connect to both ends of the device ground.
- The distance between two readers should be over 30cm to prevent radio frequency interference.
- Mounting the device around metal could affect read range; metal of any type around the device should be avoided.
- The distance between the reader and the controller should not exceed 30 meters (For Wiegand/T2 models only).
- For optimum read range, use a DC Linear power adaptor for the reader's power supply.
- Input voltage should be between 12V ± 10% for normal operation.
- If installed in an open or highly humid environment, protect the reader with an external shielding cover.
- Note: Do not use the same set of twisted pairs for different functions.
5. Testing
To avoid interference during self-detection of the sensitive touch keypad, please do not touch the keypad when inputting power.
When power is on, the reader's green LED will flash, and the reader will beep concurrently. [? LED indicator flashing, ? beep sound]
Place the provided card near the reader. The reader will beep concurrently to confirm detection. [? card detection, ? beep sound]
