Quick Start Guide
4 Channel Long Range Wiegand Radio Receiver - Up to 60m
5
1.4 Cable Requirements
24 AWG minimum, multi-conductor stranded with an overall foil shield, for example Belden
9540 or similar. Per the SIA’s Wiegand specification, maximum cable length is 500 feet
(152.4 m).
1.5 Output Formats
Wiegand (industry standard 26-bit Wiegand and custom Wiegand formats).
1.6 Grounding
Shield (drain) continuity must run from the Receiver to the access panel. Further, the shield
and Receiver ground must be tied together at the access panel, and must connect to an
earth ground at one point only.
1.7 Power
Power required is 12 VDC nominal at 120 mA. The Receiver may be powered by the access
panel. A linear power supply is recommended for best operation.
1.8 Mounting
The Receiver may be mounted indoors or outdoors. The base of the enclosure includes
a drill template providing mounting provisions to a wall box (standard North American
and European), as well as pre-drilled holes in the four corners allowing mounting to a flat
surface. Use supplied #6 mounting screws, or equivalent security screws, for installation.
1.9 Read Range
As shipped, the Receiver is set for the maximum read range, which is nominally up to 200
feet (60 m). For optimal read range, it is important that the Receiver be mounted as far
from potential interference sources as possible. These sources may include, but are not lim-
ited to, large metal and concrete obstructions, as well as magnetic fields and radio trans-
missions. Further range varies based on the height a Receiver is installed, how a user may
hold a Transmitter when being used, and where the Transmitter is being used. Read range
may vary for each installation. Read range may be reduced by gently adjusting the Receiv-
er’s range pot in the counter-clockwise direction.
