How to use

Install the reader on a flat surface near the protected door or entry point, ensuring secure mounting and access to a DC power source within the specified voltage range. Connect wiring to the access control system following the system manufacturer’s wiring diagram and verify polarity and ground connections. After installation, enroll credentials or cards according to the host access control system procedures and test read range and reliability. Verify that the unit operates correctly under expected environmental and electrical conditions before commissioning.

Recommendations
