Wiegand Interface
Wiegand interface signals are supplied by three wires from the Encompass 4 Reader
communications cable. The Encompass 4 Reader with RS
–232 or RS–422 comes with
the Wiegand option built in. The Wiegand interface can only be used by the reader to
output valid Wiegand tag reads. All reader commands and responses are issued
through the serial interface.
Table 4-8 shows the Wiegand signals and the interface wires.

To connect Wiegand interface
1. Connect the blue wire (data0)
from the blue and red wire pair to the data0 wire of
the Wiegand device.
2. Connect the red wire (data1) from
the blue and red wire pair to the data1 wire of
the Wiegand device.
3. Connect either the yellow or black wire
from the yellow and black pair to the
Wiegand device’s signal ground.
Note: The RS
–232 or RS–422 interface is still included on the Encompass 4
Reader even when you use the Wiegand configuration. If serial communication is
not needed, TransCore recommends leaving the DB9 or DB25 connected to the
cable for future use.
