Tamper
If the tamper output is used, connect the purple wire to the
correct input on the controller when used as a reader, or to a
zone input of an intruder alarm system when used as a controller.
Trim and cover all unused conductors.
Note:
The individual wires from the unit are color-coded
according the Wiegand standard.
When using a separate Power Supply for the Reader, this
Power Supply and that of the Controller must have a
common ground.
The Reader’s cable shield wire should preferably be
attached to an earth ground, or a signal ground
connection at the panel, or power supply end of the
cable. This configuration is best for shielding the Reader
cable from external interference
