between shielding, power lines or other interfaces. The common GND connection in J2
and J41-J43 is a floating reference ground for the interface block signals. This makes it
possible to operate the interface with the voltage potential set from the other party. The
reference ground is internally connected to the chassis via a discharge resistor to avoid
static voltage potential. It has no other reference to connections outside the interface
block.
The USB port GND is connected to the chassis.
The Wiegand/Mag-stripe interface, the Isolated Inputs, and Isolated Outputs have a
varistor protection that will short-circuit signals over rated maximum 30 V.
