Access Control Cheat Sheet

Wiegand Wiring Typical:



**Shield should only be terminated on one end of the cable, usually at the panel, just twist around the jacket at the card reader**

OSDP Wiring:


**NOTE 120Ohm resistor at reader between Tan/Red With Green Stripe**

Door Contacts

Wired Normally Closed and Wired in series as shown below:

Request to Exit (REX)

• Typically Wired Normally Open regardless of the type of rex used (integrated rex in handle/crash bar, motion sensor rex PIR above door etc) • Wire Colors and DIP Switches vary depending on model so they will not be displayed here • For MagLocks the power should pass directly through the REX device in series to be fully code compliant, though very rarely does this happen. Most Motion detectors have 2 relays, one should be the signal to the panel and the other should be the power cut relay. • BOSCH DS160 dip switch settings: 12357 on, all others off.

Device Location Measurements

• Card Reader – 42-48 inches above finished floor • Key Switch – 42-48 inches above finished floor • Push-To-Exit – 42-48 inches above finished floor • Door Contacts – 4-6 inches in from edge of door

Typical Door Layout


**NOTE REX Device is on Secured Side of door and Card Reader is on Unsecured side of door**

Access Control Panel Wiring Quick Reference:

• All Non-Vanderbilt systems will have DC on 1st input and REX on 2nd input with 3rd or 4th if available being Auxillary Inputs • Vanderbilt Systems will be reversed, REX on 1st input and DC (DOD) on 2nd input • All outputs from the Reader Board Relays to the Power Supply Inputs are wired as Normally Open. They will activate on closure
