How to install 2N External Card Reader Wiegand 125 kHz EMarine RFID
- Plan placement: Identify a convenient exterior mounting location near the door and determine the best position to connect to your existing internal reader and control panel. Ensure the site allows cable routing to the interior reader while keeping wiring concealed and protected.
- Power and data readiness: Confirm compatibility with your access control system’s power supply and Wiegand data lines. Prepare the D0 and D1 data wires and the appropriate power connections as dictated by your panel’s requirements.
- Mount the reader: Use the provided mounting hardware to securely attach the external reader to the chosen surface. Verify that the enclosure is sealed properly to maintain IP68 protection against moisture and dust ingress.
- Make connections: Connect the external reader’s Wiegand data output to the corresponding D0 and D1 inputs on the internal reader or access control panel, and attach the power supply if required. Use weatherproof seals or conduit as needed to protect wiring from environmental exposure.
- Configure access control: Program the card access rules in your control panel to recognize EM4100/4102 credentials from the external reader. Set entry permissions, anti-passback rules, relay timing, and any door monitoring features to align with site security policies.
- Test operation: Present EM4100/4102 cards to the external reader to verify successful reads and correct door unlock behavior. Check that both interior and exterior readers respond in real time and that fail-safe modes function as intended in power outages or cable faults.
- Finalize installation: Tidy all cables, seal any entry points against water intrusion, and document the installation for maintenance and future upgrades. Confirm that the exterior unit remains clean and free of obstructive debris that could affect card communication.
