Frequently Asked Questions - ACSR35L Speco Technologies

How do I wire the ACSR35L to my electric strike?

Connect the relay output (COM and NO) to the lock. Ensure power supply matches the lock requirements. Refer to manual for detailed diagrams.

Can I use the ACSR35L outdoors?

No, the ACSR35L is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to moisture may damage the unit.

How many users can I program?

The system supports up to 500 users with individual PIN codes and cards.

What is the default master code?

The default master code is 123456. Change it immediately after installation for security.

How do I reset the ACSR35L to factory settings?

Press and hold the reset button (inside the unit) for 5 seconds. All codes and cards will be cleared.

Can I use Wiegand readers with this system?

The ACSR35L outputs 26-bit Wiegand data, so it can interface with compatible controllers.

The keypad is not responding. What should I check?

Verify the power supply is delivering 12V DC. Check wiring connections. If still not working, try resetting the unit.

Does the ACSR35L support remote unlock?

It does not have built-in network connectivity. Remote unlock can be added via an external interface module.

What type of batteries does it use for backup?

The ACSR35L does not have battery backup; it requires constant 12V DC power.

Is the ACSR35L compatible with my existing access control software?

It outputs standard Wiegand protocol, so it works with most software that accepts 26-bit Wiegand input.

USER MANUAL ACSR35L Speco Technologies

This Quick Start Guide is intended for experienced installing technicians. It is a basic reference to ensure all connections are properly made.

Models include ACSR35L, ACSR62L, and ACSR64L long-range readers.

1.0 Introduction

A key component of a physical security electronic access control system, a mobile-ready reader combining BLE and contactless smart card technologies is based on RFID technology. In operation it is capable of reading data stored on a contactless smartcard credential via high frequency—or reading data from mobile credential stored in a smartphone's wallet app via BLE technology—and without physical contact, and then passing the data obtained to the physical access control system. Access control systems typically manage and record the movement of individuals through a protected area, such as a locked door.

2.0 Mounting Provisions

Each reader may be installed either indoors or outdoors. Mounting options shown in the table below. Use supplied #6 mounting screws, or equivalent security screws, for installation.

Black Ground Black Ground

NOTES:

^a Single Line LED: This is the standard operating mode and does not make use of the Orange conductor. The LED is Red when the reader is idle and flashes when a card is presented. The LED turns Green when the Brown Conductor is pulled low by the access control panel.

^b Dual Line LED: This mode makes use of both the Brown and Orange conductors. The Brown conductor controls the Red LED and the Orange conductor controls the Green LED. LED states are determined by the access control system option and capability.

^c Read Mode: In regards to contactless smart card credentials, the reader will only read and output the credential's Card Serial Number (CSN) when the Violet conductor is pulled low (connected to ground). Otherwise, the reader will only read and output the credential's programmed Sector data.

4.0 Cable Requirements

24 AWG minimum, multi-conductor stranded with an overall foil shield, for example Belden 9535 or similar, supporting the five conductors comprising the physical layer of the Wiegand interface (power, ground, data 0, data 1, and/or beeper and LED). Alternatively, Belden 9539 or similar, for all reader functions. Contact your access control system manufacturer for their specific requirements. Per the SIA's Wiegand specification, maximum cable length is 500 feet (152 m).

5.0 Output Formats

Wiegand (industry standard 26-bit Wiegand and custom Wiegand formats)

Magnetic Stripe (ABA Track II, clock and data, with card present)

6.0 Grounding

Shield (drain) continuity must run from the reader to the access panel. Shield (drain) and reader ground must be tied together at the access panel and connect to an earth ground at one point.

7.0 Power

Reader may be powered by the access panel. A linear power supply is recommended for best operation.

8.0 Voltage

8 to 14 VDC. 12 VDC at the reader is recommended for best operation.

9.0 Read Mode

For sector data reads, do not connect the Violet conductor (leave it high). For CSN reads, pull the Violet conductor low (connect the Violet conductor to ground).

10.0 Connection

Connection must be done in accordance with NFPA 70. Do not connect to a receptacle controlled by a switch. Connect to a power limited DC voltage source.

11.0 Troubleshooting

1. When the reader is first powered on it will beep 4-times, and the LED will shine red.
2. Presenting a supported access credential will result in the reader beeping and the LED flashing once.
3. Mobile operation is optimized for smartphones supporting Bluetooth LE version 4.2. Further, for the downloading of mobile access credentials, a stable, high-quality internet connection is recommended.

NOTE: The access panel controls LED functionality, such as switching the LED to green.

If the reader does not recognize the mobile credential or card or tag (no beep, no LED flash) or exhibits short read range, please see the table below for possible causes and solutions.

Possible Cause Corrective Action

Incorrect cabling Verify gauge, connections and cabling length
Not enough power 12 VDC recommended
Incorrect credential used Verify if credential technology is supported
Reader/access panel not properly grounded	Earth ground needed—verify shield and reader ground are tied at access panel and connect to ground at one point
Supply generating interference Linear power supply recommended, verify switching power supply before use

Should any of the corrective actions mentioned above not improve performance, disconnect the reader from the access panel and power it with a separate power supply or 9VDC battery, and re-test card functionality. By powering the readers separately, most variables that may lead to reduced performance can be eliminated. Should the problem persist, please contact Speco Technologies directly.
