Installation Instructions

RS485 Proximity Reader

Part Codes: AC-1100-BK

AC-1100-WH

Introduction

The AC-1100 is a proximity reader for Controlsoft® 125kHz proximity cards and tags

and is available in black (-BK) or white (-WH). A piezo buzzer and a tri-colour LED

indicate reader status to make the device very easy to use.

The reader circuitry is encased in a durable, waterproof resin, making it suitable for

both internal and external use.

Step 1: Prepare the installation

The reader can be mounted against any surface (a metal surface will reduce the read

range) and in any orientation. A template is provided to mark the position of the

required holes. Drill the holes, plug the mounting holes (if required) and feed the

cable through the cable entry hole.
