AY-B8550   
Fingerprint and 13.56MH    MIFARE RFID Reader   
User Manual 
1 
1. Introduction 
The AY-B8550 series are biometric fingerprint and RFID card readers 
with a compact design, which are suitable for installing on a door 
frame. It is includes a biometric fingerprint sensor and RFID card 
reader for higher security requirements. 
Using AxTraxNG, you can register and delete users (see the 
AxTraxNG™ Software Installation and User Manual). Alternatively, you 
can use master cards to register and delete users while in an offline 
state. 
The standard Wiegand output seamlessly connects to the third-party 
access controllers. 
The reader comes in two models:

2. Installation 
2.1 Mounting 
1. Using the back panel as a guide, drill four holes for mounting 
the back plate onto the surface (Figure 2). 
Figure 2: Wall Mounting 
2. Insert a suitable wall plug into each screw hole. 
3. Drill a 10-mm (7/16”) hole for the cable. 
4. Screw the back plate onto the wall. 
5. Connect the reader to the controller (see Section  2.2). A linear 
type power supply is recommended. 
6. Attach the reader to the back plate and secure the reader to the 
back plate with the provided security screw and tools. 
2.2 Wiring 
To connect the unit as a reader to an access control unit: 
1. Select the appropriate connections according to Table 1 and 
Figure 3.

2. Prepare the controller cable by cutting its jacket back about 3 
cm (1¼") and strip the insulation from the wires about 1.3 cm 
(½"). 
3. Splice the reader’s pigtail wires to the corresponding controller 
wires and cover each joint with insulating tape. 
4. Trim and insulate the ends of all unused conductors individually. 
Do not short any unused wires together. 
• 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 the 
power supply end of the cable. This configuration is best for 
shielding the reader cable from external interference.

4. Instructions for Placing Finger 
 Correct Method: Straighten your finger and then place it on the sensor, ensuring the finger is down flat and covers the entire sensor window. 
Always place finger in the center of the 
sensor. 
Make sure you cover the entire sensor surface 
with as much of your finger as possible. 
 Incorrect Method: 
DO NOT move your finger 
before the backlights of 
the sensor turns off. 
DO NOT place finger 
away from the center 
of the sensor window 
DO NOT place finger at 
an angle. 
DO NOT take off finger 
during the fingerprint 
verification process. 
DO NOT use just 
your fingertip. 
DO NOT slide your finger 
during the fingerprint 
verification process.
