Description

The Secured Series Wiegand Interface Module is used to connect a 26-bit wiegand reader or keypad to an IEI Door
Control Module. The Wiegand Interface Module takes the 26-bit wiegand data from the wiegand reader and
translates that to a signal that the IEI Door Control Module can interpret.

Installation Procedure:

 Step 1: Check the Packing List
 Step 2: Mount the Reader Head
 Step 3: Mount the Wiegand Interface Module
 Step 4: Connect the Reader and Wiegand Interface Module to the Door Control Module
 Step 5: Set the Site Code (if necessary)

Step 1: Check the Packing List

1 HID, UL Listed Access Control Unit Accessory, Model: either ProxPoint, ProxPro, ProPro w/keypad,
MiniProx, Thinline II or MaxiProx (Only included when shipped with HID Prox Reader)
1 IEI, UL Listed Access Control Unit Accessory, Model Wiegand Interface Module
1 Hardware Pack
1 Four-Conductor Wire Harness
1 IEI Secured Series Front End Reader Installation Guide
1 HID Installation/Instruction Manual (ProxPro, ProPro w/keypad, MiniProx, Thinline II and MaxiProx Only)

Notes:

1) The MaxiProx requires a UL Listed power limited power supply, rated 24VDC 2A.

2) Effective with firmware version 1.3 or higher, the interface module can control the LED on the wiegand
reader or keypad. This connection is made to terminal 5 on the interface model. LED operation is as
follows:

 Normal Condition: LED is red (Terminal 5 is at +12V).
 Upon Card Presentation (with a recognizable bit format): LED flashes green [and sounder beeps

if present] (Terminal 5 – no change).

 Upon Valid Card Presentation (a credential that is allowed access to the door): LED turns green

for the same length of time as the main relay in the IEI Door Control Module (Terminal 5 goes to
Ground).

Step 2: Mount the Reader Head

See HID Installation Instructions for mounting the ProxPro, ProPro w/keypad, MiniProx, Thinline II and
MaxiProx readers. When using another UL Listed third party Wiegand reader refer to those instructions.
Follow the instructions below for mounting the ProxPoint reader.

1. Select an appropriate location to mount the ProxPoint Reader Head.

2. Remove the plastic cover on the ProxPoint Reader Head.

3. Use a 9/32” drill bit to drill a hole for the cable attached to the ProxPoint.

4. When you drill the hole and pull the cable through the wall, drill a small pilot hole for each mounting
screw. The mounting screws are self-tapping and should pull themselves through.

5. When you are finished, replace the plastic cover on the ProxPoint reader.

Step 3: Mount the Wiegand Interface Module

If possible, IEI recommends that you mount the Wiegand Interface Module close to the Hub Door Control
Module. Please note that the Wiegand Interface Module must be mounted indoors. The Wiegand Interface
Module can be located up to a maximum of 500 feet from the Wiegand reader (using 20 AWG four-conductor
stranded cable with overall foil shield). If necessary, you can mount the Interface Module up to 1000 feet from
the IEI Door Control Module (using 18 AWG four-conductor, stranded cable with overall foil shield). This
gives you the ability to connect the reader up to 1500’ from the IEI Door Control Module if required. All wires
and cables must be UL Listed and/or Recognized. This system must be installed in accordance with the
National Electrical Code (NFPA70), local codes, and the authorities having jurisdiction.

For UL, the Wiegand Interface Module must be mounted using one of the following options:

1. Inside a UL Listed non-conductive electrical box.

2. Placed flat on the bottom of the Hub Module cabinet enclosure below the backplane.

If option 2 is used, the power limited wire connections to the interface module must be routed away
from all non-power limited connections inside the cabinet. The power limited and non-power limited
wiring must be separated by a minimum of .250” (1/4 inch).

Connecting the Front End drain (shield) wire:

1. The drain (shield) wire from wiegand reader must be connected to terminal 1 (V-) on the Wiegand
Interface Module.

2. If the Wiegand Interface Module is mounted at a distance greater than the supplied 4-conductor wire
harness used for the Hub Front End connection, the cable shield must be connected to the appropriate
place at the Hub Door Controller. See the instruction manual for your controller for details.

Step 4: Connect the Reader and Wiegand Interface Module to the Door
Control Module

Figure 1: Connecting an HID proximity reader (ProxPoint, Proxpro, ProxPro w/keypad,
MiniProx or ThinLine II) to the Wiegand Interface Module

BE SURE YOU ARE USING STRANDED/SHIELDED CABLE OF THE CORRECT GAUGE BETWEEN THESE UNITS.
