Notes
1. A special feature of the KP - 6840 Revision E Reader - Keypad is the ability to convert it easily to an SP - 6820 Revision E proximity
reader (without keypad), and later convert that SP - 6820 back to a KP - 6840.
To convert from KP - 6840 to SP - 6820 : Snap off the KP - 6840’s front cover (see Figure 1). Unplug the keypad assembly by pulling it
straight forward. Snap an SP - 6820 cover (available from AWID) on the base card reader.
To return that SP - 6820 to the original KP - 6840 Rev. E : Snap off the SP - 6820’s front cover (see Fig. 1). Plug the original keypad
assembly into the base reader, aligning the 6 pins and pressing straight in firmly. Snap the original KP - 6840 cover on the unit.
2. Two readers at the same door may need to be separated physically or shielded from each other for best operation. Request Technical
Reference issue on “back - to - back readers” from AWID.
3. When the yellow wire is not used, the beeper remains active and under the reader’s internal control.
4. The Beeper, Hold, and LED lines are logic levels. Never apply power to them. They may be pulled to a low level (0 to 1.2 VDC)
to enable their function. They must float at a high level (3.6 to 5.0 VDC) when not used.
5. KP - 6840 Readers have both Wiegand - protocol and RS - 232 serial interfaces. RS - 232 data out put applies to the card reader output only
(not the keypad). For information on RS - 232, contact AWID’s technical support.
