Installation Sheet (Wiegand Interface)
UA-612 UHF Card Reader
These Instructions are for AWID’s Model UA-612 reader, using compatible UHF cards supplied by AWID.
Parts List
(a) 1 Installation Sheet UA-612
(b) 1 UA-612 Reader
(c) 2 #6-32 X 1” machine screw (for single-gang utility box)
Preparation
Reader Location: Select the reader’s mounting location. The UA-612 Reader may be screwed to a single-gang
utility box like a cover plate, or to a wall or other surface. On a metal surface, read range is reduced about 20%.
If the reader is exposed directly to rain or snow, use a polycarbonate housing for protection.
DC Power Supply: Separate – independent from any other device. Dedicated – only this reader connected to
the power supply. Do not draw the reader’s power from the system’s controller. Nominal 12 volts DC (supply
between 7.5 V and 15 V to the reader). Current capacity, 1 ampere or more. Linear -rated. Regulated DC out.
Cable to Controller and Power Supply: 5 to 7 conductors from reader to the system (2 for DC power, 3 for
Wiegand data, and 2 for control lines if used). 18 gauge (22 gauge for data and control lines if they are in
separate cable from power). Overall 100% shield for both power and data. 500 feet maximum length.
If cable is pulled through metal conduit, the conduit must be earth-grounded.
Procedure
1. Connector – Cut off the white 10-pin connector from the end of the reader’s cable. Discard the connector.
2. Open the Reader – Snap open the reader’s front cover by inserting a wide screwdriver blade in the slot
at the bottom edge of the cover. Twist the blade gently. Do not remove screws inside the cover.

3. Wire Connections – Connect the reader’s wires to the cable(s) for power and data and control.
a. First, connect black to DC negative on the power supply. Then …
b. Connect black also to Data-Common on the panel. If there is no Data-Common terminal, use Ground.
c. Connect green to Data-0 and white to Data-1.
d. If control lines are used, connect brown to LED (or LED-Green) and yellow to Buzzer.
e. Connect the drain wire to the shields of power and data cables.
f. At the end of the cables near the panel and power supply, connect the cables’ shields to earth-ground.
g. Last, connect red to DC positive on the power supply.
4. Physical Mounting – Feed the reader’s cable through the utility box or the wall’s cable opening. Fasten the
reader to the utility box or the wall, with screws through the holes inside the open read er. Use the supplied
screws for mounting on a utility box. A tamper alarm NC pushbutton switch may be inserted in the 0.110
inch hole through the base of the reader. Tamper alarm occurs when the UA-612 reader’s cover is removed.
5. Reader Test – When power is applied to the UA-612, the LED is lighted steady-red for standby, and the
beeper sounds. With every presentation of an AWID UHF card to the reader, the LED changes color
momentarily, and the beeper sounds briefly. Read range is up to 6 inches.
6. System Test – Wire the reader to the system’s controller. Program the code for the AWID UHF card into
the host system, with full priority, all doors groups, and all time zones. Present the card to the reader. The
LED changes to green for a few seconds, indicating Access Granted.
Interface
● Wiegand Interface Wires – Green for Data-0, white for Data-1, and black for Data-Common.
● Codes in Cards – UA-612 reads AWID’s UHF cards, programmed with codes of 26 bits to 50 bits.
● RS-232 Serial Interface – Contact AWID’s Technical Support for the RS-232 Technical Reference.
Operating Conditions
● Indoor and Outdoor – If exposed to rain or snow, install UA-612 in an IP64-rated polycarbonate housing.
● Temperature & Humidity – -31 F to 150 F degrees (-35 C to 65 C). 0% to 95% R.H. non-condensing.
● Transmitting Frequency – 902.6 to 927.4 MHz, frequency-hopping. Channels separated by 200 kHz.
● Voltage Connections – Apply power only to UA-612’s black and red wires – never to the other wires.
● Output Testing – To test UA-612 operation, clip the LR-KIT’s Test Unit to black, orange and red wires.
