Terminate Reader Wiring at ACU
For readers, use 6 conductors 22 AWG shielded cable or a cable with overall shielding. Use 18 AWG shielded
cable for current demanding readers such as the Indala PX620 or the HID5375. The shield wire must be
connected to the earth ground lug at the ACU and isolated and taped at the reader. The maximum reader
distance is 500 feet (152.4 m) from the ACU when transmitting a Wiegand signal. For more on reader
connections, refer to page 67.
