IAC Reader Configuration

Overview

The IAC supports a variety of reader technologies, including Wiegand, Clock & Data, and RS485 LAN-based readers like SIFER and OSDP.

Technical Details

Reader Interfaces

  • Wiegand/Clock & Data: 4 on-board inputs (T5, T6, T12, T13). Use shielded data cable.
  • RS485 LAN Reader Port (T7): Supports up to 16 SIFER or OSDP readers.
  • Wireless Locks: Supports up to 8 Aperio, Intego, or Salto SALLIS locks (requires Smart Card Door Licenses).

Voltage Selection

Reader supply voltage (5V or 12V) is set via jumper links:

  • LK5, LK6, LK7, LK10: Used to select 5V or 12V for specific reader ports.
  • Recommendation: Use 5V unless 12V is required for a longer read range.

Configuration / Programming

  • Serial Reader Type: When a serial reader type is selected, all other serial readers on the IAC must be of the same type.

Troubleshooting

  • Reader Data LEDs: L33 (D0) and L34 (D1) flash when data is received on Reader 1.
  • Short Circuit LEDs: L11, L16, L45, L48 indicate short circuits on reader power ports.
