3.0 Connecting the Reader
• Connect the reader to the host controller per the wiring table below and the host installation guide.
Wire Color Symbol Name/Function
Red (input) V+ Positive Supply Voltage.
Black (input) V- Return Power (Common) Line.
Drain (input) GND Earth Ground.
Foil Shield (input) GND Cable Shield.
White (output) “1” Wiegand Data 1.
Green (output) “0” Wiegand Data 0.
Blue (input) Beeper Control Line.
Brown (input) Red LED Control Line.
Orange (input) Green LED Control Line.
The followings are required to comply with FCC and EU RF emission standards: drain wire and foil shield
can be connected either separately to earth ground and the return power (common) line respectively or all
together while the earth ground and return power (common) line are tied together at the power supply.
4.0 Testing and Operation
• When power is applied to the reader, the red LED is on under the default setting.
• Present an ID card to the reader. The LED will momentarily turn green while the beeper beeps once,
indicating that the card was read successfully.
• Please note that typical read range for MIFARE (1K & 4K) cards is 1.0 – 1.5” (25-37mm).

5.0 Card Compatibility
• The MI100-xxxA reader reads the card serial number (CSN) data from these cards:
• Indala MIFARE Card, Part No. MIFxx-xxxxxxx-yyyy
• Indala MIFARE/Proximity Part No. FPMIF-xxxxxx-yyyy (dual technology)
• Any Philips compatible MIFARE Standard (1K & 4K) contactless smart card.
• The Indala MIFARE reader will not read 125 kHz Indala Proximity cards.
6.0 Reader Operation
Card Serial Number (CSN) Read Only Mode
• In CSN only mode, the reader reads the 32-bit MIFARE random card serial number (CSN or UID)
from any MIFARE standard (1K & 4K) card and outputs that data in a 40-bit Wiegand format: 32-bit
CSN + 8 bit checksum.
