READER CONNECTION 

 
The Protégé Reader Expander allows the connection of 4 
Wiegand reading devices and the ability to control 2 
doors (Entry or Exit Only) or 1 door (Entry and Exit). The 
following diagrams show the connection of standard 
Wiegand Reader (Entry Unit) and a Multiplexed reader 
(Exit Reader). 

 

 

When operating the reader expander in multiple reader 
mode the Protégé Reader Expander allows the 
connection of 4 wiegand reading devices controlling two 
doors each with Entry/Exit readers.  

 
DOOR CONTACT CONNECTION 

 
The Protégé Reader Expander allows the connection of 
up to 4 contacts for monitoring and controlling access 
control doors. Each zone on 
the reader expander can be 
used for the door function 
that is automatically 
assigned and as a normal 
zone input on the system. 
The following example 
shows the connection of a 
normally closed door 
position monitoring contact 
to monitor the open, closed, 
forced and alarm conditions 
of the door. 

 

 

DOOR LOCK CONNECTION 

 
The Protégé Reader expander provides a connection for 2 
electric strike locks with full monitoring of the lock circuit 
for tamper and over current/fuse blown conditions. The 
door lock monitoring can be disabled if it is not required.
