2. AR-721U Installation

2.1 Steps

1. Use the screwdriver to screw the mounting plate on the wall.

2. Pull cable ends through the access hole in the mounting plate.

AR-721U must be connected before power is applied to the

single door controller.

3. Attach the AR-721U to the mounting plate.

4. Apply power. The red LED will flash once and the beeper will

sound.

2.2 Installation Notice

1. AR-721U is narrow enough to mount to most mullions and door

frames.

2. Single door controller locate inside the secure area for use as an

exit controller, the auxiliary reader locate exterior wall for use as

an entrance reader, but not directly behind single door controller.

For best reading distance, offset the single door controller and

auxiliary reader by about 50 cm above and 12 m below

(suggestion value).

3. Normally, AR-721U will read a Card / Key Tag at up to 8 cm.

However, when AR-721U reader is mounted directly on a metal

surface, the reading distance decreases slightly. To reduce this

effect, install wood or plastic between the mounting surface and

mounting plate, this will restore most of the reading distance.

3.1 Steps
1. Use the screwdriver to screw the mounting plate on the wall.

2. Pull cable ends through the access hole in the mounting plate.

AR-721K must be connected before power is applied to the

single door controller.

3. Connect plug P1 to socket CN1 on the AR-721K circuit board.

Connect plug P2 to socket CN2 on the AR-721K circuit board.

Connect plug P3 to socket CN3 on the AR-721K circuit board.

4. Attach the AR-721K to the mounting plate and install screw

(supplied) into the hole at the bottom with the Allen wrench

(supplied).
5. Apply power. The red LED will flash once and the beeper will
sound. Refer to beginning of this manual for programming.

3.2 Installation Notice

1. Single door controller locate inside the secure area for use as an

exit controller, the auxiliary reader locate exterior wall for use as

an entrance reader, but not directly behind single door controller.

For best reading distance, offset the single door controller and

auxiliary reader by about 50 cm above and 12 m below

(suggestion value).

2. Normally, single door controller will read a Card / Key Tag at up

to 15 cm. However, when single door controller or optional

auxiliary reader is mounted directly on a metal surface, the

reading distance decreases slightly. To reduce this effect, install

wood or plastic between the mounting surface and mounting

plate, this will restore most of the reading distance.

3. AR-721K can cover standard electrical boxes.

Questions Answer
No appearance 1. Check power, if it is 9 18 VDC adaptor?
2. Check if the polarity is correct?
3. The unit should make a beep sound when
any key on the keypad is depressed
(AR-721K).

6. Return of Products
If you think that you have a defective unit, please contact the
distributor who sold you the unit. All service and repairs must be
done through an authorized distributor.

30
