FCC Compliance: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
UL Listing: The ASR-620++ has been evaluated by UL to UL-294 standard and is listed under file
BP6430.
CE Compliance: This product complies with the European Community Council Directive
89/336/EEC and the standards specified under IETS-300-683 and IETS-300-330, if the installer/ user
adheres to the instructions detailed in this manual.
Notice: The ASR-620++ reader requires the use of linear, series pass power supplies. Switching power
supplies are not recommended because the use of these supplies may reduce the read range.
The unit is intended to be powered from a current limited power source such as an IEC/EN 60950
approved power supply.
Do not use the reader’s power supply for other equipment, particularly when operating switched inductive
loads such as motor control relays and solenoids (i.e., magnetic locks, latch or strike). Doing so will affect
the reader operation. Use a separate dedicated power supply for Indala proximity readers.
Because this technology is based on radio frequency and because nearby environmental sources of
electrical interference may affect the performance of the reader, the following is a list of precautions that
should be considered when installing or wiring the reader:
• Metal affects radio signals. Do not cover the face of the reader with metal of any kind.
• Reduce or eliminate unwanted signals from external sources.
• Do not place the reader wiring bundled in conduit with AC power cables, lock power or signal
wiring.
K02021-000 Rev A April 2006
iii
• Maintain all reader wiring a minimum distance of 12" (30 cm) away from other wiring such as
AC power, computer data wiring, telephone wiring or wiring to electric locking devices, etc.
• Do not install the reader in areas where sources of broad spectrum EMI noise may be present.
Examples of EMI broad spectrum noise producers are motors, pumps, generators, AC-DC
converters, uninterruptable power supplies, AC switching relays, light dimmers, computer
monitors and CRTs.

2.2 Electrical Installation
2.2.1 Grounding
Connect the reader directly to an earth ground as shown in fugure 4. An earth ground can be established
by driving a copper clad ground rod into the earth. Make certain the DC resistance between your
established earth ground and the system ground is very low. If direct connection to a ground rod is not
possible, connect the reader to an earth-ground (do not connect to fire sprinkler system), or to steel frames
(building beams) that connect to earth.
Prevent ground loops by connecting the controller ground and the negative line of the power supply to
one common earth ground point. Connecting different points to separate earth grounds may result in a
ground loop. Ground loops may cause poor read range and communication line interference resulting in
no code or improper data transmission to the controller.
In a multiple reader installation, connect all readers to a single earth ground reference point (common
ground).
Figure 4. Grounding the Reader
Note: A multiple reader installation requires a higher maximum current rated power supply. See specifications” on page 2.

Choose the appropriate interface for your installation.
(RS-232 configuration requires a BIL-422/232 Signal Conditioning Module which is sold separately.)
Figure 5. Magstripe and Wiegand Reader to Host Interface Wiring
Please observe the following:
• The system must have a single earth ground point.
• For open collector (non-terminated output), consult your system manufacturer for correct cable
length and type.

2.3 Tuning the Reader
Tuning the reader is not necessary in most installations. The reader should be mounted and tested for read
range and host output function prior to attempting an adjustment of the reader. Before attempting to tune
the reader, call Indala Technical Support at (800) 646-3252 or (408)361-4700 for instructions. The
installer should be familiar with the adjustment procedure and be able to correctly complete the
adjustment in a controlled environment prior to attempting to make adjustments at the installation
location.
Tuning the reader should not be attempted without the required tools and equipment. Improper or
incomplete tuning of the reader will significantly degrade reader performance and may invalidate
the Warranty.

3.0 Operation
When power is first applied to the reader, it performs internal power up diagnostics. If it is functioning
properly, the reader will flash the LED and beep twice. After the power up diagnostics are completed and
the reader is in a READY status mode you may present a standard or option card to the reader.
3.1 Startup Diagnostic
The readers have an internal diagnostic routine to assure reader operation at start-up, as well as a means to
test the integrity of the data lines. When power is first applied to a reader, it will beep and flash twice to
let the installer know that it has performed an internal check and is functioning properly. If the reader
start-up routine determines one of the critical memory devices inside the reader has failed, the reader will
alternately flash the LED red and green.

3.2 Presenting the Card
Figure 7. Presenting the Card
To obtain maximum read range, present the card to the reader as shown in Keeping the card parallel to
the ASR-620++ reader and move it slowly toward the face of the reader until a QuickFlash is obtained.
This is the point at which the card is read and the data is transmitted to the controller. To read the card
again, remove it from the reader field and present it again. During normal use, the card can be presented
to the reader at any angle, although this will result in a reduced read range.
QuickFlash
When a valid card is presented the LED will flash and the audio tone (beeper) will be
activated for 70 to 100 milliseconds, regardless of the card’s access status. This gives the
user immediate feedback that the card was read and that data was sent to the controller.
After the quickFlash period, the controller takes over control of the LED and beeper.
3.3 Data Output
The ASR-620++ reader is capable of outputting Wiegand, Magstripe, or RS-232 format (RS-232 requires
additional hardware). For further information please call technical support at (800) 646-3252 or (408)361-
4700
3.4 Verifying Data at Host
To verify that the data lines are good, put the reader into line test mode by holding a SelfTest card (Indala
part number 07257-001) in front of the reader. The reader will respond with an alternately flashing LED
in all three colors and an audio signal to let you know it is in the line test mode. The reader will remain in
the line test mode until power is removed and reapplied or the SelfTest, or any other applicable, card is
presented again. While in this mode, the reader will send output pulses down the data lines at a 1 Hz rate,
which can be measured at the controller end with a volt meter. If the pulses are not present, then there is
probably a break or short in the line. If the pulses are present and the system is still not working, the
reader may not be connected to the controller properly or the controller/ system may be incorrectly
programmed or the controller may be broken.
