Reset Connector

Just like any Computer, in rare circumstances, you may need to reset your reader.

The reset connector has two functions as follows:

1. Soft Reset: Allows you to perform a quick reset of the reader system to a state just after the reader is turned on. Apply a momentary short circuit to the reset connector pins. The reader will immediately reset.
2. Hard Reset: Allows a power-reset of the reader as if it had just been powered off and back on using the power button. Apply a short circuit (by placing a piece of metal across the pins) to the reset connector pins for 20 seconds. The reader will emit a constant tone during this time to warn of the upcoming power reset. After 20 seconds the reader will perform a complete power off for 3 seconds, then power itself on again. Remove the short from the reset connector.
   

!If you use this function, please note that it will disconnect any network connections to the reader over Ethernet or Wi-Fi so you will need to reconnect your timing software.
