1.4 Cable Requirements
24 AWG minimum, multi-conductor stranded with an overall foil shield, for example Belden
9540 or similar. Per the SIA’s Wiegand specification, maximum cable length is 500 feet
(152.4 m).
1.5 Output Formats
Wiegand (industry standard 26-bit Wiegand and custom Wiegand formats).
1.6 Grounding
Shield (drain) continuity must run from the Receiver to the access panel. Further, the shield
and Receiver ground must be tied together at the access panel, and must connect to an
earth ground at one point only.
1.7 Power
Power required is 12 VDC nominal at 120 mA. The Receiver may be powered by the access
panel. A linear power supply is recommended for best operation.
1.8 Mounting
The Receiver may be mounted indoors or outdoors. The base of the enclosure includes
a drill template providing mounting provisions to a wall box (standard North American
and European), as well as pre-drilled holes in the four corners allowing mounting to a flat
surface. Use supplied #6 mounting screws, or equivalent security screws, for installation.
1.9 Read Range
As shipped, the Receiver is set for the maximum read range, which is nominally up to 200
feet (60 m). For optimal read range, it is important that the Receiver be mounted as far
from potential interference sources as possible. These sources may include, but are not lim-
ited to, large metal and concrete obstructions, as well as magnetic fields and radio trans-
missions. Further range varies based on the height a Receiver is installed, how a user may
hold a Transmitter when being used, and where the Transmitter is being used. Read range
may vary for each installation. Read range may be reduced by gently adjusting the Receiv-
er’s range pot in the counter-clockwise direction.
1.10 External LED Indicator
Refer to the information below for explanation on the Receiver’s external LED indicator
operation:

1.11 Antenna Switch
As shipped, the Receiver’s Antenna Switch is set in the INT (internal) position. Read range
can be extended using a separate, external antenna attached to Receiver’s on-board 6.19
mm SMA jack connector. If a separate, external antenna is used, then the switch should be
set in the EXT (external) position. For installations requiring a separate, external antenna,
please refer to the WRR-4 External Antenna Reference Document.
1.12 Beeper Switch
As shipped, the Receiver’s Beeper Switch is set in the ON position. If the installation
technician prefers to disable the beeper and External LED Indicator, then the Beeper Switch
should be set in the OFF position.
1.13 10-Pin Terminal Block
Refer to the information below for cabling to the Receiver:
AD0: Button One, Wiegand Data 0, Channel A.
AD1: Button One, Wiegand Data 1, Channel A.
BD0: Button Two, Wiegand Data 0, Channel B.
BD1: Button Two, Wiegand Data 1, Channel B.
CD0: Button Three, Wiegand Data 0, Channel C.
CD1: Button Three, Wiegand Data 1, Channel C.
DD0: Button Four, Wiegand Data 0, Channel D.
DD1: Button Four, Wiegand Data 1, Channel D.
GND: Power, 0VDC (Ground).
+VDC: Power, 12VDC Nominal.
NOTE: Apply positive voltage only to the +VDC Pin on the Terminal Block.
1.14 Connection
Connection must be done in accordance with NFPA 70. Do not connect to a receptacle
controlled by a switch. Connect to a power limited DC voltage source.
1.13 Troubleshooting
No data received/Transmitter not enrolled
Transmitter must be clicked twice to be learned by the Receiver upon initial Receiver
power up
