Introduction

PRX-20 card reader is a non-contact high performance card 
reader with ABA (14 & 13 char), standard Wiegand 26 bits 
and Wiegand 44 bits output format. These units are mainly 
used as card reading support for access controllers and are 
characterized by their smart and elegant appearance, simple 
wiring and stable performance.

Specifications:

Type of cards 

* Any card of 64bit memory array used by H4001 CMOS 
integrated circuit, by EM Microelectronic-H4100/4102 or 
compatible.

Clock & Data ABA

 (14/13 char), standard Wiegand 26 bits and 

Wiegand 44 bits output format interface, photo coupling seclusion 
OC gate output.

RS-422

 Differencial outputs:

Connection distance

 up to 300m. 

TTL outputs:

 up to 15m.

Note

: In case of reading errors, 1K pullup resistors can be 

added to the Data and Clock outputs (yellow and white 
wires).

D0 and D1 output “0” and “1” respectively.
When outputting “0”, D0 experiences a negative pulse and 
when outputting “1”, D1 experiences a negative pulse.
See the following diagram displaying a negative pulse width 
of TP=100+10 microsecond; with a repetition period of 
TW=1000+100 microsecond and 1 microsecond=1/1000000 
a second.

In the following diagram C and O stand for 0 or 1.

E: even check code; O: odd check code

CCCC, CCCC CCCC are the swiped badge number, trans-
mitted from left (E) to right in sequence.
