Testing the Reader

Follow the steps below to verify that the reader is working correctly.
1.
Check all cabling and electrical connections from the reader to the
microcontroller. Refer to the wiring diagram on page 14.
2.
Verify that the microcontroller is properly configured. Refer to the
appropriate CASI microcontroller manual.
3.
Apply power to the reader and verify that the yellow LED is on. You
may want to use a multimeter to test the voltage at the reader's
connector JP2, using ground (pin 2) as a reference. The power pin
(pin 1) and data lines (pin 7) should read approximately 12V.
4.
Check that the proper version of firmware is installed in the
microcontroller. Refer to the appropriate microcontroller manual.
5.
Close the tamper switch by joining the reader and backplate. When
all wires are connected to the reader, ensure that the supervision
function is operating properly by verifying that the reader is not
sounding a short triple beep every 30 seconds and that the red LED is
not flashing slowly (every 2 seconds). If such an alarm is present,
refer to the Troubleshooting Guide on the next page.
6.
Select a known-good MIFARE
the card is properly entered in the host system.
7.
Check that the door is secure. Place the card one inch away from the
front of the reader. Observe that the reader beeps briefly and the
yellow LED blinks off.
8.
Observe that the green LED turns on indicating a valid access has
been granted by the host.
9.
Open the door. This verifies that the door strike operates correctly.
