• TowiTek modules are not designed and authorized for use in life support
or life saving applications! Do not use the product for applications in
which a temporary or permanent failure or malfunction could cause
damage to persons or propery.
If the module is used to switch currents greater 24V it is necessary to
•
have the installation done with no voltage applied and performed by a
trained professional authorized for such work. The module may only be
used in such application if it was installed in a safe to touch enclosure.
• The module must only be used in dry and clean environment. The use
near water, heavy dirt and/or high humidity is dangerous and not
permitted.
• The product must not be used in conjunction with any type of flammable
liquid or gas or other environment with risk of spark triggered
explosions.

Intended use for this product

The TowiTek Long Range RFID Reader operating on 125kHz is designed
to read the ID information from RFID tags and transmit this data to an
connected access control system.
The unit is equipped with two data interfaces
• Wiegand 42-Bit interface
• RS-485 serial interface operating with 9600bps / 8N1

connection wire assignment

The 6-wire interface cable uses this color coding for the signals:
red power supply +12-15V DC
black power supply 0V (Data - GND)
green Wiegand42 Interface 'WG0'
white Wiegand42 Interface 'WG1'
blue RS-485 Interface 'A'
yellow RS-485 Interface 'B'

Power supply requirements

The power supply voltage needs to be stabilized and there must be no
high frequency noise (ripple voltage) since this could significantly reduce
the obtained reading range.
