4. Connecting to a Wiegand Security Panel
The S6400 readers are designed to work with any security controller which follows
the Wiegand protocol standard. All readers are placed in Self-Run (Weigand data
output) mode upon shipment, thus they are “ready out of the box” for connection to
a Wiegand security panel. A harness with tinned wire leads is included to simplify
connection to a Wiegand security panel.
Follow the security panel manufacturer’s instructions to connect the reader to the
panel, using the following wiring guide as a reference. The essential connections
are necessary for proper operation and data transfer in Self-Run mode. For more
information regarding the optional connections, refer to the S6400 User’s Guide
(11-06-21-711).

5. Connecting a Single Reader to a Computer
Programming and locking data on a badge requires two-way communication, which
can be achieved by operating the reader in host-driven mode. The included RS-
485/RS-232 converter and host software allow the reader to operate in this mode
using a PC as the host.
1. Follow the setup procedure in section 3 to verify reader functionality.
2. Verify proper connection of the RS-485/RS-232 converter to the reader
using the following diagram as a reference.
Note:
Observe the proper orientation of the jumper on the RS-485/RS-232
Converter - it must be set to “echo off”.
3. Connect the RS-485 Converter to the computer’s serial port using the serial
cable provided.
