Connecting 4 Wiegand Readers
Multiple reader mode allows the connection of 4 Wiegand readers controlling 2 doors, each with entry/exit
readers. To connect 4 Wiegand reading devices to a Protege module:
⦁ Door 1 entry reader is connected to reader port 1
⦁ Door 1 exit reader has its Wiegand Data 1 wire connected to the reader port 2 D1 connection
⦁ Door 2 entry reader is connected to reader port 2
⦁ Door 2 exit reader has its Wiegand Data 1 wire connected to the reader port 1 D1 connection
⦁ The Multiple reader input port 1 option is enabled in the reader expander programming (General | Options)
⦁ The Multiple reader input port 2 option is enabled in the reader expander programming (General | Options)
To connect two Wiegand readers to a reader port the Multiple reader input port 1/2 option must be enabled in
the reader expander programming. When this option is disabled the reader port will only process a single reader.
Enabling Wiegand Mode
TSL readers are shipped in RS-485 configuration by default. To change a reader to Wiegand mode it must be
enabled using a mobile device running the Protege Config App. The ConfigApp's Reader Configuration will need
a config with the Output Mode set to Wiegand Output.
For programming instructions, see the ICT Card Reader Configuration Guide, available from the ICT website.
