Ethernet - All Red controllers come with built-in RJ45 connection for
network connectivity. Once connected, the Red controller is
Self-Discoverable from pdk.io using IPV6. Alternatively, you may use
IPV4 or assign a static IP using pdk.io if desired.

Wireless (PN: RMW) and PoE (PN: RMPOE)
module kits can be purchased for optional
communication methods.

DC Input - Input 12-24 VDC power using a 18/2 wire. For high voltage
applications, use the High Voltage Converter (PN: HVC).
Backup Battery - The enclosure will fit most 12 VDC 8 Ah batteries. Connect
the battery to the controller using the supplied battery leads.

What is OSDP - Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) is an access
control communications standard developed by the Security Industry
Association to improve interoperability among access control and security
products. OSDP brings heightened security and improved functionality. It is
more secure than Wiegand and supports AES-128 encryption.
OSDP Wire Specification - Four-conductor, twisted-pair cable with overall
shield is recommended to remain fully TIA-485 compliant at the maximum
supported baud rates and cable distances.
Note - It’s possible to reuse existing Wiegand wiring for OSDP. However,
using a simple stranded cable typical of Wiegand readers generally does not
meet the RS-485 twisted pair recommendations.
OSDP Multi-Drop - Multi-drop gives you the capability to accommodate
many readers by running one length of four-conductor cable, eliminating the
need to run wire for each wire.
Note - Four (4) is the maximum number of readers each port can support.
Note - Wiegand readers will not work when OSDP jumpers are installed.
Fire Input - To integrate the fire system into a controller, refer to wiring
diagrams at www.prodatakey.zendesk.com
Programming - After the controller is connected, access the configuration
software as instructed in the programming manual available at
www.prodatakey.zendesk.com
Reader Compatibility - Pdk does not require proprietary readers.
Controllers accept a Wiegand input, including biometric readers and
keypads. OSDP readers are supported by using the included jumper (see
OSDP reference guide). Contact pdk support if assistance is needed.
UL 294 Compliance - All equipment must meet appropriate UL certifications.
For UL-listed installations, all cable runs must be less than 30 meters (98.5’)
