6.0 Annex C Protection from Electromagnetic Interference As per any other electronic equipment, the RAC 4 can be affected by electromagnetic interfer- ence caused by industrial electrical equipment such as elevator motors. To prevent the unit from operational instability such as "freezing" or losing programming, shei- lded cables should be used and connections made as per the diagram below.
- Verify that the RAC 4 is powered. - Verify the wiring to the card reader. Initialization card not accepted - If the Initialization LED (D41) on the RAC 4 controller is ON: • The RAC 4 has already been initialized. To re-initialize the reader, follow the procedure described in section 5.3 “Hotel ID Re-...
