Model 94x/97x Proximity Reader
Installation Manual

2. Check that the reader is not mounted within 3 feet
(1 meter) of a computer terminal or within 10 inches
(250 mm) of another proximity reader. The only
exception to this 10-inch (250 mm) limit is for 941, 971,
and 973 readers installed with the optional, back-to-back,
metal mounting plates.
3. Present a test badge (known to be working) to the reader.
If the beeper and yellow LED still fail to indicate a valid
badge read and send, replace the reader with a reader that
you know is working correctly. If this corrects the
problem, the original reader is faulty and should be
replaced. If this does not correct the problem, the badge
is probably defective.
The door does not open and the green LED does not turn on
when a badge is presented:
1. Verify that the badge and reader are properly entered into
the system.
2. Verify that the door strike and the green LED are wired
correctly. Since the green LED and the door strike are
separate indicators, this problem is not an indication of a
defective reader.
The green LED does not turn on, but the door strike unlocks
the door when a valid badge is presented:
1. Verify that the door DO is wired correctly. Refer to the
appropriate wiring diagram.
2. Disconnect the wire from J1 pin 4 (green LED) and
connect J1 pin 4 to J1 pin 2 (ground). If the green LED is
now on, the reader is good and the connection to the
reader is defective. If the green LED does not turn on,
replace the reader.
