Cable Notes
1) Wiegand - +DC, Ground, Shield Ground, Data0 and Data1 are required for Wiegand Operation. All
others (Green LED, Red LED, and Beeper) are optional.
2) When using a separate power supply for the MIFARE
Wiegand Reader, the power supply and Host
should have a common ground (voltage reference).
3) If the Host is controlling the beeper or the LEDs are configured for the external LED mode, additional
conductors will be required. The recommended cables are Alpha 1295C, 1296C, 1297C, 1298C and
1299C, which are five, six, seven, eight and nine conductors respectively. Larger wire gauges are
acceptable. The wire is to be stranded with an overall foil shield plus the drain wire.
4) The Cable shield (drain) should be connected to the earth ground at the panel or power supply end of
the cable. Also, for emissions compliance, tie earth ground and common together at the power supply.
This configuration is the best for shielding the reader cable from external interference and reducing the
likelihood of the Reader causing interference. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
