Testing the reader
Follow the steps below to verify that the reader is working
correctly.
1. Check all cabling and electrical connections from the
reader to the microcontroller. Refer to the wiring
diagrams on page 30, page 32, and page 34.
2. Verify that the microcontroller is properly configured.
Refer to the appropriate GE microcontroller manual.
3. Verify that the reader switches are properly set for the
power setting, cabling type, distance, and desired mode
of operation. See “Switch settings” on page 20.
4. Apply power to the reader and verify that the yellow
LED is on. You may want to use a multimeter to test the
voltage at the reader’s pigtail connector J1, using ground
(pin 2) as a reference. The power pin (pin 1), data lines
(pins 6 and 7) and door DO (pin 4) should all read
approximately 12V.
5. Check that the proper version of firmware is installed in
the microcontroller. Refer to the appropriate
microcontroller manual.
6. Close the tamper switch by joining the reader and
backplate.
Note: If external tamper is activated, make sure the reader
backplate mounting surface is flush with backplate.
When all wires are connected to the reader, ensure that
the supervision function is operating properly (if a
supervised mode is selected), by verifying that the reader
is not sounding a short triple beep every 30 seconds, and
the red LED is not flashing slowly (every 2 seconds). If
