Keyscan WIEEX2 Wiegand Communications Line Extender

Standard specifications state that a maximum Wiegand communication run not exceed 500 feet. Beyond such distances reliability concerns arise. When circumstances dictate a long cable run between control panel and reader, exceeding the 500 feet guideline, rely on Keyscans WIEEX2 Wiegand Extender. This device converts the Wiegand single to standard RS485 providing a communication range of up to 2000 feet between WIEEX2 receiver and WIEEX2 transmitter while using standard CAT 5 cable between units.

The standard RS485 output opens up a host of other design options such as RS485 to fiber optic modems and other mediums for transmitting the reader data if electrical isolation over long cable runs are desirable.

• Converts wiegand to RS-485 then to wiegand
• 2 modules included 1 for reader and 1 for ACU
• Maximum distance 4000'' on 2 wires (CAT5)
