Need help?Do you have a question about the Bosch ARD-AYK12 and is the answer not in the manual?
The ARD-AYK12 is an EM mini mullion card reader designed for access control systems, providing visual and acoustic signals upon reading credentials. It communicates with a control center via a Wiegand interface. This device is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use due to its robust design and IP65 rating.
The ARD-AYK12 reader is primarily used to read data from EM credentials (EM 125 kHz) for access control purposes. It processes the credential data and transmits it to a control center via a Wiegand (26-bit) interface. The reader provides immediate feedback through visual (multi-color LED) and audible indications (beeper) to confirm successful card reads or other operational states. It features tamper monitoring, which enhances security by detecting unauthorized attempts to open or remove the device. The reader is designed for surface-mounting and includes a six-wire connection cable for straightforward integration into existing systems.
The ARD-AYK12 is designed for ease of use and reliability in access control applications. Its compact, mini mullion design allows for discreet surface-mounting in various environments. The multi-color LED and audible beeper provide clear and immediate feedback to users regarding the status of their credential presentation. The reader's ability to operate in a wide range of temperatures and its IP65 rating ensure reliable performance in diverse indoor and outdoor conditions, protecting it against dust and water ingress. The tamper monitoring feature adds an extra layer of security, alerting the system to any unauthorized attempts to interfere with the device. The six-wire pigtail connection simplifies wiring to the control panel, following the recommended Wiegand standard color coding for easy identification of functions such as DC input, ground, data lines, LED control, and tamper output.
The ARD-AYK12 is designed for minimal maintenance. The installation manual provides clear instructions for initial setup and testing. Regular checks should include verifying the power supply and ensuring proper communication with the controller. The device's robust polycarbonate material and IP65 rating contribute to its durability and reduce the need for frequent physical maintenance. In case of issues, the manual guides users through basic testing procedures, such as powering up the reader and presenting a proximity card, to confirm proper functionality. The green LED, which indicates a successful card read, can be controlled by the controller, allowing for system-level diagnostics. For more complex issues or technical support, Bosch Security Systems B.V. offers comprehensive support services, including troubleshooting guides, repair and exchange options, and access to technical documentation and training resources through their online catalog and Building Technologies Academy. Proper decommissioning procedures are also outlined, emphasizing the importance of disposing of the device according to local laws and regulations to promote reuse and recycling.
