6: IP-BRIDGE DOOR INPUTS
Warning:
The IP–Bridge should not be powered until all connections have
been made and tested. Remove power prior to changing any connections.
The IP-Bridge can monitor items located at the door. It supports receiving
credential data from a Wiegand device and the control of standard electrical
locks.
6.1
: WIEGAND DATA INPUT
The IP-Bridge receives the user’s credential information from a Wiegand-
based device, such as a card reader.
Three (3) Wiegand conductors from the reader are connected to the IP-
Bridge’s “W0”, “W1”, and “GND” terminals. The Wiegand ground conductor
can be
connected to any “GND” terminal on the IP-Bridge.
The Wiegand ground connection should be dedicated to the Wiegand signal. A
separate wire conductor would be used to ground any other door components to
the IP-Bridge.
Wiegand signal should be a “driven 5 VDC signal”, provided by the Wiegand
device (may be accomplished thru a biasing resistor within the reader)
The reader’s “W0” and “W1” terminals are shown in Figure 18.
Figure 18
The Wiegand signal’s return connection will be attached to the IP-Bridge’s Signal
Ground. See the previous “Signal Ground Connections” section of the manual for
more information regarding this part of the connection.
