Freedom Bridges should only be installed in dry, non-condensing 
environments. The ambient temperature of the environment should 
range between -40°C and 50°C.      

Freedom Encryption Bridges should only be mounted to non-conductive 
surfaces. Incorrect mounting may short-circuit the electronics, which will 
cause it to malfunction.

DC power, reader, input contact, and output device wires should 
be between 16-28 AWG. They should also be stripped 5.5mm to 
sufficiently fit the terminal blocks and ensure that they do not come in 
contact with each other.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

For each of the following steps, be sure to reference the wiring 

diagram on page 2 for additional details: 

1. 

Connect a Wiegand Reader to the Wiegand Reader Input on the 
Freedom Bridge. 

A. 

If the reader has a shield wire, connect the shield wire 
to the 0v terminal on the Wiegand Reader Input. If an 
extension cable is used between the reader and the 
Freedom Bridge, connect the reader’s shield wire to the 
cable’s shield, then connect the cable’s shield to the 0v 
terminal on the Wiegand Reader Input.

B. 

Any unused wires on the reader must be evenly snipped 
and have their tips insulated using electrical tape or 
equivalent. The shield wire on the reader must also be 
completely insulated. 

2. 

If you have any supervised input contacts, wire them to the Digital 
Contact Inputs using Method 1 or Method 2. 

3. 

If you have any non-supervised input contacts, wire them to the 
Digital Contact Inputs. 

4. 

If you have a relay output contact, wire it to the Relay Output.

5. 

Supply power to the Freedom Bridge using either or both of the 
following methods:

A. 

A 2.25 – 5.25 W Power over Ethernet (PoE) port on an 
Ethernet switch connected to the Freedom Bridge using a 
Cat5e or Cat6 cable.

B. 

12 – 16 Vdc & 350 mA (300 mA external & 50 mA 
internal) DC power connected directly to the TB1 terminal 
on the Freedom Bridge.

6. 

If you are not using PoE to power your Freedom Bridge, connect 
a Cat5e or Cat6 cable from any port on an Ethernet switch to the 
RJ- 45 connector on the Freedom Bridge. 

Note:

 Ethernet only 

supports a maximum cable length of 100 m. 

7. 

To configure and add the Freedom Bridge to a MESH/Freedom 
Server, refer to the MESH/Freedom Solution Guide manual.
