ACU reader port
Token type and configuration
The reader will recognize 125 kHz HID proximity tokens in format to produce a Wiegand output (26 to 50 bit) or
EM4100 tokens to produce a Clock and Data output.
TM
The reader scans the first token presented after power up and will match the reader mode to the format discovered.
If no token is read within 3 minutes of powering up, the reader will default to HID . If you require EM4100
operation, power cycle the reader and present an EM4100 token within 3 minutes.
TM
Once in HID or EM4100 mode, the reader will remain in that format.
TM
If used with Net2, the ACU reader port must be configured to read the correct data format.
Where Wiegand cards are used, you must set the correct data format (e.g. Wiegand 26 bits) in the ACU
reader port configuration or create a custom wiegand filter in the Net2 Server Configuration Utility. For

Unit installation / test
When choosing a location for the reader, ensure that it is at least 12 inches from other readers. This will include
readers mounted on the other side of the same wall as the radio signal will cause interference and reduce the read
range. Mounting the reader on metal surfaces will reduce the read range.
Drill a hole in the surface for the rear data cable. Secure the unit to the surface with three screws as per fitting
diagram on page 1. Suitable screws and fixings are provided for installing the unit to a wall. Ensure the data
cable has free access at the rear.
A choice of black and white covers are also provided. Hook the required cover over the top of the reader, press
home at the bottom and secure with the single fixing screw.
The reader will beep and all the LED's should display after powering on the control unit. Presenting a user card to
the reader will cause the LED's to briefly change to a single Green or Red LED.
Check the following FAQs section for assistance if any problems are encountered.

Frequently Answers and Questions
How do I configure the reader to read a specific data format?
You must configure the ACU reader port to read the correct data format. If using Wiegand cards, set the correct data format in the ACU reader port configuration or create a custom Wiegand filter in the Net2 Server Configuration Utility.
What kind of cable can I use for extending the reader?
You can use Belden CR9538 / 9540 or a UL equivalent for cable extensions. The maximum run is 500 feet.
Can I configure a door reader to operate as a desktop reader?
Yes, you can configure a door reader to operate as a desktop reader. Select the doors menu in the left hand Net2 pane, click on the door you wish to change, change the reader operating mode to 'Desktop Reader', and click 'Yes' when prompted. You can now add or edit tokens using this reader.
How do I check if a user has no access to a door using the PROXIMITY reader P50M HID reader?
When a user presents their card to the reader, check the LED's. If there are no LED's, the reader has no power. If there is no change in display, try the card on a known working reader. If there is still no response, replace the card. A green LED flashing indicates a valid card and relay 1 LED should indicate lock activity. A red LED flashing indicates the user is not authorized, check their validity and access level in the Net2 system.
What should I do if the reader is not working?
Check the software settings, connections, extended cable, supply voltage, user token, and for interference. If using extended cable, ensure it is Belden 9538/9540 and is not longer than 500 feet. Confirm the supply voltage is within the specifications. Try the user token on a known working reader. Check if the reader works when tested in hand, not mounted on the wall. Ensure PROXIMITY readers are not mounted back to back or close to other RF devices.
