Table 2: Wiegand Modes
Wiegand Mode Rules
• Enter PIN-codes or Reason Codes on the Reader within 10 seconds otherwise the
tag code is discarded.
• The System allows 10 seconds each for the entry of the PIN-code and the Reason
Code in Tag + PIN + Reason Mode.
• If the Impro WRM expects a PIN-code and receives a number greater than 65535,
then the WRM assumes the number to be a tag code. The WRM discards the
previously read Tag for the current one and the WRM will still expect a PIN-code.
• If the Impro WRM expects a Reason Code and receives a number greater than
65535, then the WRM assumes the number to be a tag code. The WRM discards
the previously read Tag for the current one and the WRM will still expect a PIN-
code or Reason Code, depending on the mode.
• If the WRM expects a Reason code and instead receives a number in the range
100 to 65535, the WRM assumes this is an error. The WRM discards the entire
transaction, entering a new tag code starts the process again.
• If using PIN-codes and Reason Codes set the Impro WRM switches for Wiegand
26-bit, 37-bit, 40-bit and 44-bit, not Wiegand open format.
