• EK6 and EK7 readers have unique features. Carefully review the table below for correct wiring.
• ECKey readers are not weather-proof so use caution when choosing a mounting location.
• Make sure you have a back-up, like a key, in case power is lost to the reader or phone.
• Construction materials will affect read-range so test the phones before commissioning the system.
When properly powered, the reader should have a solid red status light. If the reader has a purple status light on
initial power up, simply remove and reapply power.
