Wiegand Compatible Readers
• four to seven conductor, shielded, stranded, wire – depending upon the Wiegand reader’s requirements
• a minimum gauge of AWG 24 is required for data transfer with a 500-foot maximum run length per Wiegand
specification
Input and Output Connections

NOTE: The Lock Output relay may require a heavier gauge of wire depending upon the current demands of the lock and
the length of the lock wiring run.
NOTE: If plenum cable is required, please reference the Belden plenum equivalent to the cables listed above.

3.0 When Installing Controllers
DO
• plan ahead to meet power and any telephone requirements
the host computer and one for each master PXL-500/PXL-510 in each network)
• mount controllers in environmentally suitable areas - they require protection from weather and from temperature/
humidity extremes
• if not using a KPS power supply, mount the controller at least 3 feet away from the controller's power supply to
prevent EMI radiated from the power supply from affecting the controller
• use the enclosure as a mounting template to mark drilling holes for permanent mounting
• consider mounting requirements - central versus distributed
- central mounting places all controllers in one location, running lengths of cables out to each door to support
readers, inputs and outputs
- distributed mounting places each controller near the door it supports running short lengths of cable out to each
door, but running a long network communication cable
• note the locations of the knockouts in the enclosures and remove the appropriate knockout for the easiest cable
routing into the controller
• route all controllers in a network in a single, continuous daisy-chain
• route cables in accessible areas for ease of maintenance
• connect all controllers to a quality earth ground
• add transient suppression across electric devices attached to a controller output
• use an isolation relay (P/N IRP-1, or equivalent) if attaching to an elevator, a parking gate, a turnstile, or any
application using a large electric motor
• verify the controller's supply voltage is 12 VDC – long power line runs cause a drop in voltage at the end of the run
• verify proper operation of the host computer's COM port
• for a single door application, install the reader to the TB-5, "A" reader connection
• attach the reader to be used for card enrollment to the master controller (this reader can be used for access control as
well as enrollment, but during the enrollment process the door associated with the enrollment reader will not allow
access until the enrollment process is complete)

1. The wire gauge to use should be determined by the current draw requirements of the Wiegand device and the
actual length of the cable run. A +5 VDC and a +12 VDC Wiegand device must have a full +5 VDC or +12 VDC
at the device (long cable runs have a voltage drop across the length of the run due to the resistance in the cable).
T o ensure proper voltage is available at the device a larger gauge of wire (having less resistance) or a power supply at the Wiegand device may be required.
2. Phone lines are only needed for remote communication between host computer and network using a modem.
3. Ground wire is green with or without yellow tracer.

Quick Start Guide
DO NOT
• make modem phone line connections through PBX telephone switching systems - most modems are not comp atibl e
with PBX systems leading to disconnection problems with the modem
• locate the PXL-500/PXL-510 controller near EMI sources - EMI sources can affect the performance of the controller
• use switching power supplies - they are EMI sources
• route network and reader cables beside power cables - transients on the power cables may be picked-up by network
and reader cables
• stretch or over-tension cables
• route over sharp objects
• let the wires get tangled
• mix PXL-500s/PXL-510s with PXL-100s in the same network
• use a PXL-250 as the master on a network with PXL-500s/PXL-510s. The PXL-500/PXL-510 should always be the
master controller.
• route controllers in a network in a loop configuration
• connect earth ground
shield at one point on the network to prevent ground loops
• use gender changer plugs when making RS-232 serial communication connections (unless you know it is a “straightthrough” plug) - gender changers may have internal wiring changes that can disrupt communications

4.4 Connecting a Wiegand Compati ble Reader to a PXL-500W/PXL-510W
The PXL-500W/PXL-510W controller can be configured to accept input from single-line LED, dual-line LED, and Essex
keypad Wiegand input devices (through the Doors™ software).
NOTE: The Wiegand Reader must transfer data according to the Security Industry Association's Wiegand Reader
Interface Standard (document number AC-01D-96). Keri Systems, Inc. cannot guarantee the performance or reliability of
Wiegand Readers that do not meet these data transfer guidelines.
NOTE: All Keri Systems proximity readers use 12 VDC power while some Wiegand compatible readers use 5 VDC power.
Check your reader's power r equirements and verify jumper JP5 is set correctly per the Verify the Wiegand Reader Supply
Voltage section on page 19.
NOTE: The wire colors called out in Figures 5 and 6 are industry standard wire colors. However, some manufacturers
may not follow these industry standard designations. Before installation, please refer to the Wiegand device’s manual to
see if the device’s wire colors fo llow the industry standard. If not, then match the wire’s purpose to the call outs in Figures
5 and 6 before installation.
NOTE: Time and Attendace Terminals ordered with a reader installed come pre-wired.
