Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade reader for access control systems supporting Wiegand or OSDP communication protocols. Specific panel and controller compatibility should be verified against the access control system manufacturer documentation prior to installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or electronic security technician in accordance with applicable local codes and NEC guidelines for low-voltage wiring. Power down the access control panel and isolate the reader circuit before making any wiring connections. Follow the manufacturer wiring diagram for protocol selection between Wiegand and OSDP modes, and confirm protocol configuration at the panel before commissioning. Do not expose the reader to voltages or environmental conditions outside of manufacturer-specified limits.
