HandKey II Installation and Operation Manual
Page 16 Revision 2.0
The Hand Reader with the battery backup option uses a 12 volt 800 ma/hour sealed
lead acid battery to provide backup battery power. This battery is located immediately
inside the rear panel of the Hand Reader and plugs into jack J4 on the keypad control
circuit board located in the top of the chassis.
Door Control Output
The Hand Reader can operate a door in two different modes: lock output and card
reader emulation. The wiring for each mode is significantly different.
Lock Output Mode
In the lock output mode, the Hand Reader acts as an intelligent access reader signaling
a lock relay or controller to unlock the door. It also monitors the status of the door. The
decision to unlock the door is made by the Hand Reader after a valid verification.
Users may be assigned time restrictions to limit access during specified hours or days.
Card Reader Emulation Mode
In card reader emulation mode, the Hand Reader outputs Wiegand, magnetic stripe, or
some other card reader signal, typically to an access control panel when a user
successfully verifies. This mode makes integrating with existing access control
systems fast and simple. On retrofit applications, the existing card reader wiring can
be used to connect the Hand Reader to the panel if it has AWG 22 or larger conductors
and is in good condition.
The standard Hand Reader emulation format is for a 26-bit Wiegand card using an 8-
bit facility code. Other formats and card reader technology emulations are available.
Consult the factory for formats other than 26-bit Wiegand.
The ID number may be entered via the integrated keypad or an external card reader.
• If the user enters the ID number from the keypad, the Hand Reader sends the ID
number to the access panel in the specified card format with a pre-programmed
facility code.
• If the ID number is entered via the card reader, the Hand Reader stores the card
data and then sends the data, unmodified, to the access panel when the user
successfully verifies.
