Magnetic Reader Connection
The reader expander allows the connection of standard magnetic track 2 format cards and provision is made in the
software for a large number of formats. Formats include BIN number for ATM access control and first 4, 5 and 6
card numbers.
Magnetic Card Reader Interface:
Magnetic card readers are typically operated by 5 volts. Before connecting the magnetic card reader to the reader
expander, ensure that the supply voltage is correct and if required insert the inline 5 volt regulator as shown in the
diagram above.
Door Contact Connection
The module allows the connection of up to 4 contacts for monitoring and controlling access control doors. Each
input can be used for either the door function that is automatically assigned or as a normal input on the system.
The following example shows the connection of a normally closed door position monitoring contact to monitor the
open, closed, forced and alarm conditions of the door.
