Install Metal Wall Plate to Single Gang Box
Connect the wall plate to the single gang box using the provided #6 screws. Alternatively, you can use the provided #4 screws in
the four outer holes for other installation requirements. Drywall installations will require molly bolts.

Installation tips:
When connecting the reader to a Wiegand panel, simply connect the Green wire to Data 0, and the White wire to Data 1, to
enable Wiegand communication. When connecting the reader to an OSDP panel, connect the Green wire to RS485A, and the
White wire to RS485B. Verify that the panel is successfully communicating with the reader prior to reading a badge or pressing a
key.
The number of beeps during the power-up reset sequence indicates what mode the reader is in:
• 4 beeps (with green LED flash) indicate that the reader is in Wiegand communication mode (with OSDP auto-detect)
• 2 beeps (with green LED flash) indicate that the reader is in OSDP-only communication mode
By default (out-of- the-box) the reader will transmit credential and keypad data in Wiegand communication mode. Upon each
power up, and before the reader reads a credential or a key is pressed, the reader will be listening for an incoming OSDP
message. If a message is received during this period, the reader will automatically switch to OSDP-only communication mode. To
return to OSDP auto-detect mode, tilt the reader 45 degrees to simulate tamper and cycle power in this state. The power up
sequence should indicate OSDP auto-detect with 4 beeps.
Upon a power reset, the Ethos® Readers provide a reset sequence using the LED indicator and the beeper, to provide
information about the reader type and its communication mode. The first sequence (sequence A) describes the credential
technologies built in the reader:
• A single red LED flash indicates Bluetooth credential support
• A single green LED flash indicates 13.56 MHz credential support
• A single amber LED flash indicates 125 kHz credential support
Sequence A is followed by sequence B. Sequence B indicated the reader communication protocol:
• Two beeps (with green LED Flash) indicate that the reader is in OSDP-only communication mode
• Four beeps (with green LED Flash) indicate that the reader is in Wiegand communication mode (with OSDP auto-detect)
