the cable from the reader to the host module. Connect the cable to the module port according to the required
operation, as shown in the connection diagrams that follow.
The recommended cable types for RS-485 are:
⦁
Belden 9842 or equivalent
⦁
24 AWG twisted pair with characteristic impedance of 120ohm
The recommended cable types for Wiegand are:
⦁
22 AWG alpha 5196, 5198, 18 AWG alpha 5386, 5388
Warning:
The reader outputs D0 (green wire) and D1 (white wire) can switch to a maximum capacity of 50mA.
Exceeding this amount will damage the output.
