1. Introduction
The AY-x12C is a series of RFID proximity card readers to be installed
for use with access control systems.
The AY-x12C series reads the proximity card and transmits its data to
the access control system, using Wiegand 26-Bit and Clock & Data
outputs.

Mounting the AY-x12C Reader
Before mounting, you should determine the best location for the
reader.
To mount the reader:
1. Peel off the back of the self-adhesive mounting label template and
place it at the required mounting location.
2. Using the template as a guide, drill two holes (hole size and
position is indicated on the mounting template) for mounting the
reader onto the surface.
3. Insert a screw anchor into each hole.
4. 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.
