4422 Swipe Card Reader module

Setting up the Swipe Card Reader module
Note: jumpers JU1, JU2 and JU3 configure the left hand (even
address) reader, jumpers JU4, JU5 and JU6 configure the right
hand (odd address) reader.
•
Set the +V output from the module to match the voltage
required by the card reader - set JU3 or JU6 to position A for
5V, set JU3 or JU6 to position B for 12V. JU3 sets the voltage
for the left hand reader, JU6 the right.
•
Select whether you are connecting a card reader that provides
a Mag Stripe type output (set JU2 or JU5 to position A) or a
Wiegand type output (set JU2 or JU5 to position B). JU2
configures the left hand reader, JU5 the right.
•
Most Mag Stripe type readers use active-low strobe (clock)
signals, but some use active-high strobe signals in which case
JU1 and JU4 can be used to invert the signal on the module’s
DØ input. If the reader uses the more common active-low
strobe signal, set JU1 or JU4 to position A. If the reader uses
an active-high strobe signal, set JU1 or JU4 to position B.
(This setting also affects the DØ input when using Wiegand
readers - JU1 and JU4 should always be in position A when
the module is connected to Wiegand readers.) JU1 configures
the left hand reader, JU4 the right. The table below shows
example jumper settings for different readers:
