Proximity Card Readers

6005R/5395R/5355R

Introduction

This guide is a basic reference to ensure all connections are properly made. Installation and wiring of systems must be in accordance 

with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
A proximity card reader is a key component of an electronic access control system based on RFID technology. In operation it is capable 

of reading data stored on a proximity credential without physical contact and then passes the data obtained to the access control system. 

Access control systems typically manage and record the movement of individuals through secure entry points into a building or area.

Mounting Provisions

Each reader may be installed either indoors or outdoors. 

Installing on or near metal may cause a reduced read range.

*Single Line LED: 
This is the standard operating mode and does not make use of the orange conductor.
The LED is red when the reader is idle and flashes when a card is presented. The LED turns 

green when the brown conductor is pulled low by the access control panel.

**Dual Line LED: This mode makes use of both the brown and orange conductors.
The brown conductor controls the red LED and the orange conductor controls the green LED. 
LED states are determined by the access control system option and capability.

Cable Requirements

24 AWG minimum, multi-conductor stranded with an overall foil shield, for example Belden 9535 or similar. Per the SIA’s Wiegand speci-

fication, maximum cable length is 500 feet (152 m).

Output Formats

Wiegand (industry standard 26-bit Wiegand and custom Wiegand formats). 5355R is also 8-bit Burst

Grounding

Shield (drain) continuity must run from the reader to the access panel. 

Shield (drain) and reader ground must be tied together at the access panel and connect to an earth ground at one point only.
