Introduction 
AYC-x6355 Installation and User Manual  9 
1. Introduction 
The AYC-x6355 is a family of multi-format contactless smart card 
convertible integrated readers and controllers for use in access control 
system solutions. 
The AYC-x6355 series automatically determines whether to function 
as a reader or as a controller. If the unit is connected to a standard 
access control unit, then it functions as a reader. If the unit is 
connected to Rosslare's secure application appurtenances such as the 
PS-A25T, PS-C25T or PS-C25TU, it functions as a secured controller. 
Both units are water resistant and suitable for indoor or outdoor 
mounting. As a controller, the units accept up to 500 users, and allow 
entry via a personal identification number (PIN) and/or by presenting a 
proximity card. The PIN code length for the controller has several 
options. The PIN code length can be a set number of 4, 5, or 6 digits 
or it can be a 4-8 digits option. 
CSN SELECT readers support reading from the secure memory of the 
following credential technologies: 
 MIFARE Ultralight / Ultralight C 
 MIFARE Classic 
 MIFARE Plus S / Plus X 
 MIFARE DESFire EV1 
 ISO 14443A 
 ISO 14443B 
 ISO 15693 
 iClass 
 ISO 18092 (NFCIP-1) 
 FeliCa

Input is used as buzzer control and LED Control 1 is used as the 
green LED control. 
5. Trim and cover all unused conductors. 

Wiring Instructions 
16 AYC-x6355 Installation and User Manual 
• The individual wires from the reader are color coded according the 
Wiegand standard. 
• When using a separate power supply for the reader, this supply and 
that of the controller must have a common ground. 
• The reader’s cable shield wire should be preferably attached to an 
earth ground, or a signal ground connection at the panel, or power 
supply end of the cable. This configuration is best for shielding the 
reader cable from external interference. 

Reader Operation 
AYC-x6355 Installation and User Manual 17 
5. Reader Operation 
Once the reader is wired to a power supply and to the controller, you 
should test the reader. 
To test the reader: 
1. Power up the reader. 
To indicate that the reader is working properly, the reader flashes 
red, then green, and then orange, each for 1 second and a beep 
is heard for each color. The LED returns to its idle state (red). 
2. Present the appropriate type of proximity card to the reader. 
The LED momentarily flashes green and a short beep is emitted 
indicating that the card was read properly by the reader. 
The reader transmits the card's data to the controller. 

OSDP Operation 
18 AYC-x6355 Installation and User Manual 
6. OSDP Operation 
CSN SELECT readers that support OSDP operation are compatible 
with most OSDP commands. The reader address is set using DIP 
switches on the back of the reader. 
The DIP switch settings are as follows: 
DIP Switch 1 
This switch is used to select the reader output (Wiegand or OSDP): 
 Off = Wiegand 
 On = OSDP 
DIP Switch 2 
This switch is reserved for future use. 
DIP Switch 3 
This switch is reserved for future use. 
DIP Switches 4 to 8 
These switches set the address of the reader for OSDP protocol. 
DIP Switch 4 is MSB and DIP Switch 8 is LSB. The address is the DIP 
switch state +1. 
Examples: 
 All the DIP switches in Off position, state is = 0 => address = 1 
 All the DIP switches in On position, state is = 0x1F => address = 
0x20 = 32 
 DIP switches 4, 6, 8 in On position and 5, 7 in Off position, state 
is = 0x15 => address = 0x16 = 22 

Reader Functionality 
AYC-x6355 Installation and User Manual 19 
7. Reader Functionality 
Upon power-on reset, the unit searches for the presence of Rosslare's 
secure application appurtenances. If a secured controller is not 
detected, it is automatically configured as a reader, as indicated by 
the red Mode LED. 
This chapter explains how the AYC-x6355 series functions as a reader. 
7.1 Transmit Mode 
When the unit is in Transmit mode, it is ready to receive data from a 
presented proximity card or from an entered PIN code. 
When the 
reader is in Transmit mode, 
the Transmit LED is red and the 
Program LED is off. 
When a proximity card or PIN entry is 
being transmitted, the Transmit LED 
flashes green. 
Keyboard data can be sent via one of eight different Keypad 
Transmission Formats (see Section  7.2.3). 
Proximity cards presented to the reader are always sent in either 
Wiegand 26-Bit or Clock & Data format (see Section  7.2.4). 
7.2 Programming the AYC-x6355 Series 
Programming the AYC-x6355 is done solely via the unit's keypad 
driven Programming Menu System. During the AYC-x6355’s 
manufacturing process, certain codes and settings are pre-
programmed. These settings are called the default factory settings. 
Table 2 shows the names of all the AYC-x6355 reader menus. 
Default factory settings are marked by a "*" sign.

The keypad PIN code can be one to five digits in length and can range 
between 1 and 65,535. When entering a keypad PIN code that is less 
than 5 digits in length, # must be pressed to signify the end of PIN 
code entry. For keypad PIN codes that are 5 digits in length, on the 
fifth key press of the 5-digit PIN code, the data is sent across the 
Wiegand Data lines as binary data in the same format as a 26-Bit 
Card. 
If 
 is pressed during PIN code entry or a PIN code greater than 
65,535 is entered, the keypad clears the PIN code entry buffer, 
generates a beep and is ready to receive a new 5-digit keypad PIN 
code. 
If the entry of the 1- to 5-digit keypad PIN code is disrupted and a 
number key or # is not pressed within 5 seconds, the keypad clears 
the PIN code entry buffer, generates a medium length beep and is 
ready to receive a new 1- to 5-digit keypad PIN code.

This unique mode is intended to let host controllers get card and 
keypad data simultaneously. This option overrules the selected 
Keypad Transmission Format and sends the keypad data as described 
below. 
After a card is presented to the AYC-x6355, the program LED starts 
to flash in green and indicates that unit is waiting for the PIN code. If 
the entry of 1- to 5-digit keypad PIN code is disturbed and a number 
key or # is not pressed within 5 seconds, the keypad clears the card 
buffer and the PIN code entry buffer, generates a medium length 
beep, and is ready to receive a new card. 
The keypad PIN code can be one to five digits in length in the range 
of 0 to 99,999. When entering a keypad PIN code, # must be pressed 
to signify the end of the PIN entry. When pressing #, the data is sent

AYC-x6355 Installation and User Manual 33 
8. Controller Functionality 
Upon power-on reset, the AYC-x6355 searches for the presence of 
Rosslare's secure application appurtenances. If a secure application 
appurtenance is detected, then the AYC-x6355 is automatically 
configured as a secure access control unit, as indicated by the orange 
Mode LED. 
The Lock Strike and Auxiliary outputs, as well as the REX input, are 
not located on the AYC-x6355 unit, eliminating the possibility of 
unauthorized entry to the restricted area. 
This chapter explains how the unit functions as a controller. 
8.1 Normal, Secure, and Master Users 
The AYC-x6355 accepts up to 500 users and provides entry via the 
use of PIN codes and/or proximity cards. Each user is provided with 
two code memory slots, Memory Slot 1 (Primary code) and Memory 
Slot 2 (Secondary code). 
The PIN code length has several options. The PIN code length can be a 
set number of 4, 5 or 6 digits or it can be a 4-8 digits option. When 
choosing the 4- to 8-digit option, please note that you should either 
enter zeros before the code, or press pound at the end (for example, 
if your code is 12345, enter either 00012345 or 12345#). 
Entering a code refers to either PIN or card. 
The way in which the two memory slots are programmed determines 
a user’s access level and also determines the way in which the unit 
grants access in its three modes of operation. There are three user 
levels: 
 Normal user 
A Normal user only has a Primary code and is only granted access 
when the unit is in Normal or Bypass mode. 

Controller Functionality 
34 AYC-x6355 Installation and User Manual 
 Secure user 
A Secure user must have a Primary and Secondary code 
programmed; the two codes must not be the same. The Secure 
user can gain access when the unit is in any of its three modes of 
operation. In Normal mode, the Secure user must use their 
Primary code to gain entry. In Secure mode, the Secure user must 
present both the Primary and Secondary codes to gain entry. 
 Master user 
A Master user must have both Primary and Secondary codes 
programmed with the same PIN/card code. The Master user can 
gain access during any mode of operation by presenting their 
PIN/card code once to the controller. (The Master user is 
convenient but is less secure than a Secure user.) 
8.2 Modes of Operation 
The AYC-x6355 has three modes of operation: 
8.2.1 Normal Mode 
The Mode LED is green. 
Normal mode is the default mode. In Normal mode, the door is 
locked until a Primary code is presented to the controller. Special 
codes such as Lock Strike code and Auxiliary code are active in Normal 
mode. See Sections  8.9.3 and  0 for more information on the Lock 
Strike and Auxiliary codes. 
8.2.2 Bypass Mode 
The Mode LED is orange. 
In Bypass mode, access to the premises is dependent on whether the 
controller's Lock Strike Relay is programmed for Fail Safe Operation or 
Fail Secure Operation. When the Lock Strike is programmed for Fail 
Secure Operation, the door is locked until 
 is pressed. When the

AYC-x6355 Installation and User Manual 35 
Lock Strike is programmed for Fail Safe Operation, the door is 
constantly unlocked. 
8.2.3 Secure Mode 
The Mode LED is red. 
Only Secure and Master users can access the premises during the 
Secured mode. 
A Secure user must enter the Primary and Secondary codes to gain 
entry. After entering their Primary code, the Door LED flashes green 
for 10 seconds, during which the Secondary code must be entered. A 
Master user only needs to present the code once to gain entry. 
8.2.4 Changing the Modes of Operation 
8.2.4.1 Changing from Normal Mode to Secure Mode 
The default factory setting for the Normal/Secure code is 3838. 
1. Enter the Normal/Secure code.

8.4 Door Alarms 
Door alarms can be generated by connecting the Auxiliary Input to a 
Door Position Switch. Either Door-Forced or Door-Ajar conditions are 
supported, as well as, a configurable delay timer for each alarm type. 
Only one Door-alarm is enabled at any one time. Door alarms may 
activate auxiliary output and siren depending on the auxiliary settings. 
8.5 Internal Case and Back Tamper 
If the unit is forcibly opened or it is removed from the wall, a tamper 
event is triggered. A tamper output opens sending a to the connected 
Alarm system (purple wire) the event closes when the tamper is closed 
(case is re-closed or re-attached to the wall). 
The tamper event can also activate the auxiliary output if the 
controller is in Auxiliary Mode 3 (see Table 5). 
8.6 Lockout Feature (Keypad/Card Tamper) 
If the controller is presented with wrong codes (PIN or card), 
consecutively several times the unit goes into lockout mode. 
When a lockout occurs, the controller keypad is de-activated so no 
codes can be entered until the set lockout period expires. 
During Lockout, Mode LED is Off, Door LED flashes red, and the 
controller beeps every two seconds. 
8.7 23BREX Function 
The REX button is connected to Rosslare’s secure application 
appurtenance. The REX button must be located inside the premises to 
be secured and is used to open the door without the use of a code. It 
is usually located in a convenient location, such as inside the door or 
at a receptionist's desk. The function of the REX button depends on 
whether the Lock Strike Relay is programmed for Fail Safe Operation 
or Fail Secure Operation. 
 Fail Secure Operation – From the moment the REX button is 
pressed, the door is unlocked until the Lock Strike Release Time 

Controller Functionality 
38 AYC-x6355 Installation and User Manual 
passes. After this time, the door is locked even if the REX button 
is not released. 
 Fail Safe Operation – From the moment the REX button is 
pressed, the door is unlocked until the REX button is released, 
plus the Lock Strike Release Time. In this case, the Lock Strike 
Relay only begins its count down once the REX button is released. 
8.8 Secure Application Appurtenances 
Rosslare’s secure application appurtenances are designed for use with 
Rosslare's secured series standalone access control units, including the 
AYC-x6355 series. These units are designed to operate indoors and 
installed within the secured premises. The units must be used with 
one of Rosslare’s secure application appurtenances, which provide 
Lock Strike output and REX Input. 
Both units communicate through a proprietary Rosslare protocol, 
which provides a secure link between the AYC-x6355 and the 
appurtenances. This in turn activates the door lock. 
The units also function as the power supply for the AYC-x6355; they 
also contain a speaker connection for all sounder abilities. 
For more information see the specific Appurtenances Manual. 
8.9 Programming the AYC-x6355 
Programming the AYC-x6355 is done solely via the unit's keypad 
driven Programming Menu System. To reach the Programming Menu 
System, the unit must first be put into Programming mode (see 
Section  8.9.1). 
During a unit’s manufacturing process, certain codes and settings are 
pre-programmed. These settings are the called the default factory 
settings. 
Table 4 shows the names of all the AYC-x6355 controller menus. It 
also shows of all the default factory codes and settings for the units.

meaning a slot where there is no existing Primary code. 
 Primary codes must be unique, meaning one user’s Primary code 
may not be the same as other user’s Primary code. 
 Primary codes cannot be the same as any system codes, such as 
the Normal/Secure code or Lock Strike code. 
 Users who hold a Primary code can gain entry only during Normal 
mode. 
8.9.13.2 Secondary Codes 
 Secondary codes can only be enrolled to a user slot that already 
has a Primary code enrolled but has no Secondary code. 
 Secondary codes do not have to be unique, meaning multiple 
users can all hold the same Secondary code.
