Wiegand Output
Although a Wiegand Reader will output Tag data to HyperTerminal
as rapidly as it receives it, it will still buffer the data being sent to the
Wiegand control panel. The Reader will output data to the control
panel for one Tag read every 750 milliseconds. Duplicate Tag
information is stored in the Reader’s buffer for 12 seconds so that
duplicate Tag reads are ignored during this time interval. When a
Wiegand Reader is in diagnostics mode, all Tag information is sent
to the control panel including the 254 code.
Turning off the Diagnostics Mode
Step 1:
Turn off the diagnostics mode by pressing the Spacebar
until the “Enter:” prompt appears and then typing an
ampersand ( & ).
The Reader will respond with “Diagnostics OFF.”
IMPORTANT!
Always turn off diagnostics mode when finished.
Failure to do so can result in cross talk, garbled output and erratic
control device performance.
The diagnostics mode is not stored permanently, and when the
Reader is powered on again it will start in default mode, in which the
diagnostics are turned off.
