Grounding
Shield (Drain) continuity must run from the reader to the access panel. Shield (Drain) and
reader ground must be tied together at the access panel and connect to an earth ground in one
place.
3.0
Power
A reader may be powered by the access panel, so the reader is powered on when the access
panel is powered on. However the best case is to power the readers by a separate linear power
supply. When powered, verify the voltage at the reader meets the reader's requirements (refer to
Table 1 on page 3). When the reader is powered on, its beeper beeps in the following pattern: 3
short beeps, 1 long beep.
