Wiring for Clock and Data / Wiegand Reader
The standard wiring colours for
ACTpro Proximity and Pin readers
is shown above. Readers
may be a maximum of 30m
from the controller when powered
from +5V and a maximum of 100m
when powered from +12V.
The +5V reader supply on ACT controllers is normally rated
at 100mA. Typically this is sufficient to power 2 ACT readers.
Note however that readers from other manufacturers may need
to be powered separately if their current requirements exceed
this or if they require 12V.
Cable: 8 Core Screened
Belden 9504 or equivalent
