Cable Requirements
Belden 9535 or equivalent. Multi-conductor stranded with foil shield, minimum 24AWG. Maximum length 400ft (152m).
Output Formats
26 to 37-bit Wiegand formats.
Grounding
Shield must run continuously from the reader to the panel. At the panel, the reader ground, shield line, and earth ground must be
connected together at a single point.
Notes:
• Do not ground the shield line at the reader end, as this will create a potential ground loop.
• Ensure the shield foil and wire are taped and not exposed.
Power
A non-switching power supply at the panel is recommended to power the reader for the highest noise immunity and best performance.
We recommend using Linear’s stand-alone power supplies for optimum performance.
Voltage
• Current Draw: 100 - 200 mA typical, 225 mA max peak @ 12 VDC in low-power mode.
• At the Reader: +5.5 - 16 VDC. 12.0 VDC is recommended. A regulated power supply and 12 VDC at the reader is recommended
for best operation.
Note:
The reader is in Low Power Mode by default. High-Power Mode can be confi gured via the Phone App.
Connection
Connections must be in accordance with NFPA 70.
WARNING: DO NOT connect this reader’s power supply to a receptacle controlled by a switch.
