NOTES:
1. The ‘Lock’ output (Violet wire) is a normally-open solid-state contact rated at 30VDC / 1A. Only DC-powered locks
can be connected directly to the reader. Locks requiring AC power, higher contact rating, or Normally-Closed
functionality should use an external 12VDC relay (Aiphone RY-18L or equivalent). Release duration is determined
by the reader’s programming configuration (see the -XP Series Programming & Operation Manual).
2. The ‘Request-Exit’ input is used when triggering the reader’s internal contact output from an external contact source
is desired (motion detector, egress button, intercom relay output, etc.). An input closure should be connected
across the Green wire and Ground (Brown wire). Unlock events triggered by this input are also subject to the
reader’s release duration (see the -XP Series Programming & Operation Manual).
3. When the Night Lock mode is active, a trigger will be provided across the ‘Night Lock Trigger Output’ (Red / Blue
wire) and Ground (Brown wire). This can be used to integrate with external alarm systems for improved
functionality.
4. The ‘Forced Entry Sensor Input’ (Grey wire) is designed to be connected to Ground (brown wire) in series with a
magnetic door sensor (or equivalent normally-closed device) to allow the system to determine when the door has
been either forced, or left open after an unlock event. When this sensor input active, an output trigger will be
provided across the ‘Forced Entry Trigger Out’ (Grey / Pink wire) and Ground (Brown wire), for connection to an
alarm system event input, sounder, or other desired device.
5. All device outputs (with the exception of the Violet ‘Lock’ output) provide a low current trigger output, and should not
be used to drive anything greater than another device’s trigger input without an appropriate relay. All device inputs
require only a contact closure across the respective wire and Ground (Brown wire).
6. The White, Yellow, Pink, and Blue wires are not used and should be trimmed to avoid possible shorting and system
malfunction.
Note: Only information pertaining to the wiring of the -XP series card reader is shown in this manual. For programming
information, consult the -XP Series Programming & Operation Manual (included in the XP-KIT Programming Starter
Kit). For JK series intercom configuration / connection information, consult the JK series Installation and
Operation Manual.
