Testing RM Readers

readers. To test a reader for normal operation, put the reader into test mode by 
setting the address switch to 9, power up the reader, and follow the steps 
below. 
The readers can also be bench tested without being connected to an apC/8X. 
When you complete the test, reset the address switch to its original setting.
The LEDs on the reader indicate whether each step in the test procedure is 
successful. This section describes each step in the test and the expected LED 
response.
