Multi-format Proximity Readers
Installation Manual
1. Introduction
The AY-x20 is a family of RFID proximity card readers to be installed for
use with access control systems. The AY-x20 family reads the proximity
card and transmits its data to the access control system, using common
multi-format Wiegand outputs.
