Installation
It is best to avoid installing the device on metal surfaces, as this may
reduce the card reading distance, WI-Fi connection quality, and
Bluetooth connectivity.
If installing on a metal surface is necessary, use the reinforced plastic
mounting base that is supplied with the device.
Wiegand connection
The length of the communication line through the Wiegand interface
must not exceed 328 ft (100 m).
This interface is susceptible to external sources of interference. We do
not recommend running it directly parallel to power cables or near
electric lights.
It is recommended that the Wiegand communication line be routed
at least than 1.64 ft (0.5 m) away from any power cables.
If the communication line is longer than 16.4 ft (5 m), UTP 5E cable is
recommended.
Connecting OSDP
The OSDP uses an RS-485 interface that is designed for long-distance
communications. It operates at ranges up to 3,280 ft (1,000 m) with
good resistance to noise interference.
The OSDP communication line should be laid as far away as possible
from power cables and electric lights. A UTP 5E or FTP 5 twisted pair
cable should be used as the OSDP communication line (if possible,
ground the shield at one end). To ensure reliable system operations, it
is best to use one power source for the controllers and a separate one
for the actuators.
The power supply line wires for the reader should be kept as short as
possible to avoid a significant voltage drop across them.
After cabling, ensure that the power supply voltage to the reader is at
least 12 VDC with the locks switched on.
