Hid Reader Wiring

[Chloe Sarnoff]

Atypical access control system set up will have these four main components: card reader/keypad, door contact, request to

exit and lock power device connectivity. What this composite cable does is to simply

The first number is the thickness of the cable - in our case this would be 18 gauge (thickness). The thickness is the most important factor of how long a cable run can be and how much amperage can be drawn.

Much like the door access control system diagram above, the mag lock wiring diagram relies on a few simple basics: electricity supply, switches, and, of course, locks. Magnetic locks, also referred to as mag locks or maglocks for short, rely on a constant flow of electricity to stay sealed. When that power is cut, the magnet essentially turns off, undoing the lock and allowing the door to open freely. This is triggered by readers that have granted access to a cardholder that has presented their badge. Unlocking the door will be as simple as tapping your phone or other credentials to the reader next to your door. The flow of electricity is only cut for a set amount of time, and after that period has passed, the magnets will attract each other again with such force that the door cannot be opened.

To correctly wire your maglock, make sure that you have attached the CAT6 cables to the readers and controllers, which are in turn connected to the internet switch. Power must be supplied to the door lock and the Kisi Pro Controller, which work to keep the magnetic lock turned on, as stated above. These power supplies should be separate from one another and should be attached to emergency backup power to protect against outages. See the maglock wiring diagram below to make sure that you have wired your access control system correctly.

So I purchased their newer (2019) MPA2 panel for a new project. It only supports 2 doors instead of 4, but is $1000 cheaper than the NetAXS panel. The actual circuit board is 1/3 to 1/2 the size of the NetAXS panel but comes with an enclosure that could possibly fit two circuit boards.

The MPA2 panel is peculiar in how they designed the connections for both readers and latches (and REX and other gizmos). Instead of screw terminals, they have RJ45 jacks and custom plugs with built-in screw terminals. I had to spend hours going over the installation manual to figure out how to even begin wiring a reader. I had to compare the previous NetAXS panel that had color coded terminals along with text description of each wire, and then decipher what Honeywell intended with the new connectors.

The image on the top left is from the NetAXS panel screw terminal for card readers. I took their image from the manual and added colors to the Wiegand section. The lower left shows the new connector with an RJ45 plug. But all the colors are for Ethernet cable. I suppose some readers probably have CAT6 connections, but the ones we use are still 18/6 cable. So I made the chart below to help guide me in the field. I also added a blurb about the latch/strike wiring in the upper right. But I include a picture of what I mean down below.

Below is a picture of the latch/strike wiring for door 1.1 (they label the two doors 1.1 and 1.2). They provide two ways of wiring the strike cable, a green push terminal and the 2nd RJ45 jack from the left. Use one or the other. If you use the RJ45 you may need to also use their odd RJ45 connector. Both work at the same time, but you will probably use one or the other.

The odd RJ45 connector (shown above lower left) uses pins 4 and 8 for the relay. Using T568B color coding, those are the solid blue and solid brown wires in a CAT6 cable. There may be other choices but these were the ones I chose.

So there is my first foray into the Honeywell MPA2 panel and how to wire it. They abandoned the odd wall-wart power supply and include a new design inside of the metal enclosure. They also say that the board can be run via POE, but I have not yet tried that since the location for my panel is remote with no network switch.

ADDITIONAL INPUTS

Today I had to figure out how to program the additional inputs block in the upper right part of the MPA2 board. Below are a couple of pictures that explain them better than the manual. I had to make an Aiphone intercom use a dry (no voltage) N.O. relay to open the door via an existing card panel. I chose to use Input #17 in Winpak, which comes up also labeled input #5 after I checked the box next to input 17 and gave it a name. So the manual lists these other numbers 1-8, while the list of inputs in Winpak lists them as inputs 14-20. [This manual is kind of awful, pictures are poor quality, and they nowhere state what I added to the pictures below]. One wire will go to the numbered input, one wire goes to a GND.

One of my panels has been deemed defective by Honeywell support. I sent them a picture of the motherboard showing the RJ45 port for Reader 2. The LEDs are lit yellow constantly, even if the reader is unplugged. I did a factory reset and even updated to the latest firmware, but the LEDs stay lit. Other symptom is that the reader beeps normally but no events show in Winpak, and no relay gets energized. We are probably beyond the return date, so will keep this panel as a single-door panel, and just buy a new one. We had the panels for months before we were able to get Winpak working on a new server.

I have the MPA2 Panel. Customer support is horrible. I have the mag, rex sensor, and PTE working. But it wont release with a card swipe. The card is popping up in the alarms and events when swiped, but not releasing the door. Does the green/white pair from the provided pigtail send a triggrer? If so, how/where is it connected?

I always wire the card readers to the RJ45 connectors using the diagram in the first picture in this article. You can also use the output RJ45 for latches instead of the green connector. The 2nd picture has a section in white that describes which wires can be used on a standard CAT5 or CAT6 cable.

Yes, through interlocking. But the MPA2 panel limits which outputs can be interlocked. This last week I set one up so that if output 1 closes that it has an interlock to output 7 to also close (pulse for 4 seconds, then de-energize). This can be triggered by a card read or by an input or even manually energizing the output via Control Map.

On ours we have a separate fire department approved device in the ceiling that is part of the fire system, and it either provides power (regular electric latches) or cuts power (magnetic locks) when a fire alarm is tripped. I think in our case it is only cutting power to magnetic locks to allow egress. But that is redundant since we have a request-to-exit device that detects a person and unlocks the door.

Alternatively, if you don't have a way to ground the drain wire at the reader, you can connect the ground at the AC using a grounded junction box, grounding busbar, or the negative battery terminal of the access controller. If you're using a battery, you can splice the connection (one connection to the battery and another to the drain wire).

Dahua access control device is designed to interface with third-party access control device using Wiegand protocol. The main objective is to connect devices to electronic entry systems via a specific protocol language.

This page will provide you instruction of how to setup Third-party Access Controller with Dahua Card Reader.For instruction of how to wire Third-party card reader to Dahua Access Controller, please click here.

In this article, we are testing Third Party access controller with some of our card reader type. DHI-ASR1200 and DHI-ASR-1100.Below are the wiring diagram to connect the card reader using Wiegand Protocol:

The Operation of LED is controlled by the Access Controller, the LED operation may vary depending on the Access Controller software. The normal behavior, the LED on card reader will turn Green to indicate that card is read and privileged.

4. Connect your access controller device to the network and access it from the computer in the local network. Follow the manufacture user guide to setup the controller, create user, assign permission, etc.

5. Once the access controller is configured properly, the reader is ready to be tested. Scan your card and you should hear the beeps. For this example, we wire a LED light indicator to connect to Alarm output interface from access controller. When the card is read and access is permitted, light turns Green.

Hello everyone, i recently ordered an TTL interfaced magstripe reader to be able to do this project: -magnetic-stripe-decoder/#step1

However im not sure how to wire it to my arduino since the wires on the F2F decoder is labelled differently than the one in the tutorial.

From my extremely limited experience with these card readers I have observed that there are usually three output signals. One tells you when a card has been detected. The second is a signal or strobe that tells you when the data is valid. The third is the data line itself. After looking at some Magtek data sheets I would imagine that in your case 'RDT' is the data line, 'CLS' is the card loaded signal, and 'RCK' is the data valid strobe line. So you should try connecting (1) RDT to DATA - pin2, (2) CLS to LOAD - pin 5, and (6) RCK to CLK - pin 3.
