*Dependent upon reader configuration
Note:
Wiring the reader incorrectly may permanently damage the reader.
Note:
Previous iCLASS® readers had reversed RS-485 wiring (P2-7 & P2-6 - A & B). When upgrading to a HID Signo
reader, ensure proper connections as defined above.
Note:
Data 0 and Data 1 wires for Wiegand may be reused for OSDP. However, standard Wiegand cable may not meet
RS485 twisted pair recommendations.
Note:
For OSDP cable lengths greater than 200 ft (61 m) or EMF interference, install 120

resistor across RS-
485 termination ends.
Note:
For keypad configuration, with the keypad reader operating as 26 bit emulation, enter the facility code followed
by # within five seconds of power-up. The facility code must be entered as three digits (i.e., for a facility code of 10
enter 0-1-0-#). If unsuccessful, the reader LED displays solid red. Power-cycle the reader and retry entering the facility
code.
HID Signo readers use facility codes between 1-255, and no default is set. Once a facility code is entered, the reader
LED displays violet, then solid red. Then, power-cycle the reader. If there are two short beeps after entering a PIN, the
reader facility code is not configured. In this case, power-cycle the reader and retry entering the facility code.
