5 Reader setting and functioning
5.1 Operating test and control
After powering up the reader, it indicates preset setting (see table 7) by parallel beeping
and red LED flashing. Number of beeps and flashes indicates the selected setting type.
After that the red LED is active permanently. Reading a card is indicated with a flash of the
green LED and a single beep. The card code is sent using the WIEGAND output in preset
format. The yellow / green LED and beeper are active when putting the 0 V signal to the
relevant controlling inputs.
Reader configuration modes
Beeps count WIEGAND protocol LED control Synchronization
1x 42 bits Yellow No
2x 42 bits Green No
3x 42 bits Yellow Yes
4x 42 bits Green Yes
5x 26 bits Yellow No
6x 26 bits Green No
7x 32 bits Yellow No
8x 32 bits Green No
9x 44 bits Yellow No
10x 44 bits Green No
Table 7: Reader configuration modes
Note: WIEGAND 26bit (24 bits of code + start and end parity bit); WIEGAND 42bit (40
bits of code + start and end parity bit); WIEGAND 32bit (32 bits of code); WIEGAND
44bit (40 bits of code + 4 XOR parity bits); Yellow/green LED – selection of LED
controlled by bringing 0 V signal to relevant input; Synchronization – cancels mutual
disturbance of TECHFASS devices (standard 125 kHz system reader module + Wiegand
output reader)
5.2 Changing reader configuration
For the change of the reader configuration connect the configuration device to the C1
connector (pic. 2). After the reader is restarted, the configuration mode is entered – it is
indicated by slow beeping and flashing with red LED. The configuration is accomplished by
removing the device after the required number of beeps (flashes), the meaning of the
beeps count corresponds with the specifications from table 7. If the time for the
configuration expires, the device must be removed and the reader restarted – in that case
the configuration is not changed. After finishing the configuration do not put the device back
to the connector!
