ARC-AC4 external RFID card reader

The STid ARC-AC4 external RFID card reader may be interconnected with 2N IP Intercom via a Wiegand interface. The Wiegand interface is available for the following 2N devices:

2N® IP Verso

2N® IP Vario

2N® IP Force

2N Access Units

Check the type of RFID cards supported by the STid reader in their Datasheet.

The STid ARC-AC4 RFID Wiegand output terminals are ‘open collector’ outputs and require an external power source to be connected to them. In such cases a current of 10mA should be supplied to the Wiegand circuit.

To achieve this, a 5V positive power source should be supplied to the two Wiegand terminals through a resistor of approximately 500 Ohms on each terminal. This power source is in addition to the external power supply required by the 3rd party reader. The negative wire of the power source should be connected to the ground terminal of the Wiegand interface.

It should be noted that this external power supply may be applied to the Wiegand terminals either at the side of the Wiegand interface of the 2N intercom or at the side of the external reader.

2N® IP Verso wiring

For demonstration purposes; please see below for examples of this wiring scheme using the 2N® IP Verso Wiegand Interface module and a STid AC4 RFID reader:

Configuration

Configuration reflecting the type of card and Wiegand format to be used should be made in the web interface of the 2N intercom or 2N Access Unit.

In this case we selected Wiegand 26 bit and ensured that we had assigned the Wiegand input to the desired switch, as well as defining the direction of the reader:
