Before You Begin 
Determine the installation method, which parts are needed, and 
which wires will be used.  These instructions assume that the unit 
is being installed on an unprepared flat surface.  If this unit is to be 
installed in an electrical box or door mullion opening, skip to step 
3 of the installation instructions. 
Typical Installation 
1.  Use appropriate template (from back) to mark hole locations 
for wire and screws.  A set of self-tapping screws is included, 
however the holes may be pre-drilled if desired. 
2.  Drill a 3/4” (20 mm) maximum diameter hole for wire to pass 
through.  Placement of this hole is arbitrary, but it must align 
with the opening of the back plate. 
3.  Slide wiring cable through mounting plate prior to connecting 
wires.  Be sure the flat side of the plate is toward the wall.  
4.  Connect wires per the wire guide.  Cap any unused wires to 
prevent shorting. 
5.  Screw mounting plate onto surface using the appropriate 
screws provided. 
6.  Attach the housing to the mounting plate by inserting the 
upper tab(s) of the housing into the slots in the plate. 
7.  Secure the front housing using either the included security-
head cover screw or the Phillips-head cover screw.   
8.  Test unit for proper functionality.  This can be accomplished 
by bringing a card into the read field with power applied to the 
reader.    The  LED’s  and  audio  should  function  as  desired.  
Note that this test can only be performed when the unit is in 
it’s default (Wiegand) mode as shipped.

The remaining wires may be connected as desired to customize 
functionality of the audio and LED indicators.  See the S6400 
User’s Guide (11-06-21-711) for more information regarding the 
use of these wires.

Note:  Optimum read range can be achieved by pushing excess 
wire through opening in wall.  Wire accumulated inside reader 
housing may cause read range to diminish.
