Introduction 
AY-R6255 Installation and Operation Manual  7 
1. Introduction 
The AY-R6255 is 13.56 MHz RFID reader and is installed when using 
access control systems. This is a unique product that has a variety of 
options to control the reader's illumination according to various 
settings. An example of this are the settings that enable users to set 
the reader to project green light when everything is normal and red in 
case of emergency; this is done by adjusting the inputs accordingly. 
This product is compatible with any Rosslare controller that supports 
Wiegand 26-Bit, Wiegand 32-Bit, Wiegand 34-Bit, or Wiegand 40-Bit 
protocols, as well with any third-party controllers that support the 
same Wiegand inputs. 
The panel links are used to set various conditions between events and 
outputs to get the required illumination from the reader.

Mounting Instructions 
AY-R6255 Installation and Operation Manual  9 
3. Mounting Instructions 
Installation of an RFID reader adjacent to metallic surfaces 
might alter the reader’s specifications. To diminish this 
interference, use a plastic spacer when mounting the reader. 
When mounting the reader, you must remove the snap-off cover to 
access the screw holes. 
To mount the reader: 
1. Determine an appropriate mounting position for the reader. 
2. Screw off the back of the unit and place it at the desired 
mounting position. 
3. Using the template as a guide, drill two holes (hole size is 
indicated on mounting template) for mounting the reader to the 
surface (Figure 1). 
Figure 1: Mounting Template 
4. Drill a 10-mm (7/16”) hole for the cable. 
5. Route the interface cable from the reader to the controller. 
The proximity reader is also mountable using strong epoxy glue. 
After application, firmly hold the reader in place until the glue 
dries

4. Wiring Instructions 
The AY-R6255 is supplied with a 10-wire 45-cm (18”) pigtail, 
comprising a 6-conductor cable. 
To connect the reader to the controller: 
1. Prepare the reader cable by cutting its jacket back 4.5 cm (1¼”) 
and strip the wires 1.3 cm (½”). 
2. Prepare the controller cable by cutting its jacket back 3.2 cm 
(1¼”) and stripping the wires 1.3 cm (½”). 
3. Splice the reader’s pigtail wires to the corresponding controller 
wires and cover each connection.

4. Trim and cover all unused conductors. 
• 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 preferably be attached to an 
earth ground, or a signal ground connection at the panel, or power 
supply end of he cable. This configuration is best fro shielding the 
Reader cable from external interference

5.2 DIP Switch Settings for Output and Input 
Formats 
Setting the DIP Switches of Pins 1 and 2 determine the output format 
of the reader (Table 3), while Pins 3 and 4 determine the card format 
that is read (Table 4). 
Pins 5 through 8 are for future use.

Testing the Reader 
14 AY-R6255 Installation and Operation Manual 
6. Testing the Reader 
Once the reader has been wired to a power supply and the controller, 
it should be tested. 
To test the reader: 
1. Power up the reader. The beeper activates 3 times after which the 
LED lights up green (according to Set 0, Set 1, Set 2, and Set 3 
setup). This indicates that the reader is working properly. 
The default is that the reader switches colors circularly. The color 
can be set according to the input wires. 
2. Present the appropriate type of proximity card to the reader. The 
LED turns green (if set to default) and a short beep is emitted, 
indicating that the card was read properly by to proximity reader.
