3.1 The Installation Kit

The Installation kit comprises of the following items used during the

installation procedure:

•One Installation Template

•Four pan head screws & wall plugs

•One L shaped security screw tool

•Three Security screws

3.2 Installing the AY-Z12A Long Range Reader:

Figure 2: Removing the Top Cover

Figure 2 shows the front view of the AY-Z12A Long-Range Reader.

When installing the reader, you must remove the snap-off cover to

access the screw holes.

Installation

AY-Z12A Installation Manual Page 6

The Reader must be mounted with the appropriate screws (not

supplied), as described in the template provided.

Installing the unit on metal surfaces will reduce the read range

considerably, to decrease the affect of the metal surface use

Rosslare’s MP-Z02 Spacer (sold separately) as described in the

image below for a max range of 43cm (17 inch).

Figure 3: Installing the unit with the MP-Z02 spacer

3.2.1. Single Reader Installation

The AY-Z12A Long-Range Reader is designed to function with the

best performance when installed isolated from other AY-Z12A long

range readers at least in a range of 2-4 meters, the reader is

therefor preconfigured as a single installation reader. See Single

Reader Configuration, on page 9, for detailed configuration

instructions.

Installation

AY-Z12A Installation ManualPage 7

3.2.2. Multiple Reader Installation

Although designed to work in an isolated environment, it is

possible to install multiple readers within a range of 2-4 meters,

however the read range will reduce by 20-30 percent.

When installing multiple readers, configure each of the readers in

the close environment for multiple reader installation.

We do not recommend multiple readers be installed less than two

(2) meters apart due to reduced range caused by interference

between readers.

See Multiple Reader Configuration, on page 10, for detailed

configuration instructions.

3.2.3. Installation process

The physical installation of the unit is described below.

To Install the Reader:

1. Determine an approximate location for the installation of the

Reader.

2. Peel off the back of the self-adhesive installation label

template and locate it at the required location.

3. Using the template as a guide, drill holes (the size of which are

indicated in the template) to install the Reader or spacer onto

the surface.

4. Drill a 7/16” (10mm) hole for the cable. In the event that you

are installing the reader on metal, place a grommet or

electrical tape around the edge of the hole and use the MP-

Z02 spacer.

5. Route the interface cable from the Reader to the Controller. A

linear type power supply is recommended.

4. Wiring and Configuration Instructions

Follow the wiring and configuration instructions below based on

the installation type you are utilizing.

4.1 Wiring instructions

The AY-Z12A Reader is supplied with an 18” pigtail, comprising a 6-

conductor cable.

To connect the Reader to the Controller:

1. Prepare the Reader cable by cutting its jacket back 1¼” and

strip the insulation from the wires, ½”.

2. Prepare the Controller cable by cutting its jacket back 1¼”

and strip the insulation from the wires, ½”.

3. Splice the Reader’s pigtail wires to the corresponding

Controller wires and cover each joint with insulating tape.

If the tamper output is being utilized, connect the purple wire

to the correct input on the Controller.

Wiring and Configuration Instructions

AY-Z12A Installation ManualPage 9

Note:

•The individual wires from the Reader are color-coded according

the Wiegand standard.

•When using a separate power supply for the Reader, this supply

and that of the Controller, must have a common ground.

•The Reader’s cable shield wire should preferably be attached

to an earth ground, or a signal ground

connection at the panel,

or power supply end of the cable. This configuration is best for

shielding the Reader cable from external interference

4.2 Single Reader Configuration

For single reader installation, follow the configuration process

below, this process is not required with new readers as it comes

preconfigured from the factory to function as a single door

reader.

To configure a single reader installation mode:

1. Turn the reader power OFF

2. Connect the Data 1 wire (White cable) to Ground.

3. Leave the LED Control wire (Brown cable) floating.

4. Turn the reader power ON

5. Connect the LED Control wire (Brown cable) to Ground.

– Reader LED turns Orange.

6. Release the LED Control wire from the Ground.

7. The Reader’s LED starts flashing continuously and the Buzzer

sounds.

8. Turn the reader power OFF

9. Disconnect the Data 1 wire (White cable) from the Ground.

10. The Reader configuration for single reader installation is

complete.
