To connect the Von Duprin M996L Series to a card reader or FOB access:

1. Use the two non-polarized 12/24 VDC input wires from the device.
2. Connect one wire directly to the 12/24 VDC power supply.
3. Connect the other wire to the output of the card reader, keypad, push button, or other control device, then to the power supply.

Ensure the power supply provides at least 1A. Route the wires so they do not get pinched or interfere with device rods or slider.
