1. Introduction
The AY-x5B is a series of RFID proximity card readers to be installed for
use with access control systems.
The AY-x5B series reads the card serial number (CSN) from MIFARE
Classic® EV1 credentials (4 UID and 7 UID) and transmits its data to
the access control system using Wiegand 26-Bit output.
Other Wiegand formats and the Clock & Data format are available as
factory configurable options.

3. Installation
Installation of an RFID reader adjacent to metallic surfaces
might alter the reader’s specifications. To diminish this
interference, use a plastic spacer when mounting the reader.
3.1 Installation Kit
The installation kit consists of the following items to be used during
the installation procedure:
 Two pan head mounting screws and screw anchors
3.2 Mounting
Before mounting, you should determine the best location for the
reader.
To mount the reader:
1. Drill two holes for mounting the reader on the wall.
2. Insert a screw anchor into each hole.
3. Drill a 10-mm (7/16”) hole for the cable. If mounting on metal,
place a grommet or electrical tape around the edge of the hole.
4. Remove the screw from the bottom of the unit.
5. Remove the reader's snap-off front cover.
6. Insert the unit’s cable wire into the cable hole and wire the unit as
described in Section 3.3. A linear type power supply is
recommended.
7. Align the two holes of the reader with those drilled in the wall and
firmly attach the reader to the wall with two screws (Figure 2).

8. Relocate the front cover onto the reader.
9. Secure the front cover with the screw at the bottom of the unit.
