Reader Description Revision G June 20, 2006
The Sentinel-Prox MM-6800 Reader is a radio-frequency proximity reader for Access Control Systems.
The Reader consists of a transmit/receive antenna and reader electronics in a polycarbonate housing.
The reader electronics and antenna are potted with epoxy resin to protect against the environment.
The Reader may be mounted on a metal doorframe, a window mullion, or any surface (wall, cabinet, etc.).
Parts List
(a) Installation Sheet, P/N 001-98-A Qty=1
(b) Sentinel-Prox MM-6800 Reader, P/N 001-20-A Qty=1
(c) #6-32 x 1” thread-cutting screw, P/N 616PPN23ZP Qty=2
(d) Screw-hole plug, P/N 001-27-A Qty=3 (1 spare)
Installation Procedure
1. Position the reader (item b in the Parts List) at the desired location. Observe ADA height requirements.
Drill two 7/64 (0.109)-inch holes for the reader screws, and one clearance hole for the cable (see Figure 1).
2. Clip off the white connector from the end of the reader’s cable. Keep the wires as long as possible.
3. Connect the reader’s cable to the access control panel as shown in Figure 2.
Connect the yellow wire only if used for Beeper control by the panel.
Connect the blue wire only if used for Hold control by the panel.
Do not connect the orange and violet wires to anything. Tape or cap all unused wires singly.
4. Use a linear regulated DC power supply, between 5 volts (50 mA peak) and 12 volts DC (80 mA peak).
5. Install the reader on the doorframe or other surface. Attach the reader to the doorframe with supplied screws
(item c in the Parts List).
6. Power up the reader. The LED should be steady Amber. (The beeper does not sound.)
7. Present a valid AWID proximity credential (card, keytag, or wafer) briefly to the reader.
The beeper sounds a Long-Long-Short sequence. The LED is steady Red to indicate standby mode. The reader
is now initialized and can read cards. Note: All credentials must be AWID’s own products.
8. The LED color in standby may be changed from Red to Green, or from Green to Red, using a Color Changer
card, available from AWID. Remove power from the reader for a few seconds, then restore power.
While the LED is Amber, present the Color Changer card to toggle the LED color at standby.
9. When installation is complete, insert screw-hole plugs (item d in the Parts List) into the screw clearance holes
to conceal the screw heads. Note: Screw-hole plugs are for one-time use. After they are seated, they cannot
be removed without damaging the plugs.

Notes
1. When wiring the reader, connect the black wire (ground) first, and the red wire (power) last.
2. When the yellow wire is not used, the beeper remains active and under the reader’s internal control.
3. Beeper, Hold, and LED lines are at logic levels. Never apply power to them. They may be pulled to a low level
(0 to 1.2 VDC) to enable their function, and left floating at a high level (3.6 to 5.0 VDC) when not used.
4. MM-6800 readers have both Wiegand-protocol and RS-232 serial interfaces. For information on RS-232,
contact AWID’s technical support.
