This document covers the initial steps for setting up your device, including unpacking, wiring, and activation. It also highlights key features such as the relay terminals, Wiegand compatibility, the status monitoring capabilities and built-in camera. I'm ready to assist you with any questions you have about the device or the setup process.
  • What is required for the Ascent to work?
    What should always be used with an automatic gate?
    What is the purpose of the status terminals?
