INTRODUCTION The SWH-4200 Contactless reader will read Prox and Smart Cards at frequencies of both 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz. The reading capability includes, for Smart Cards, both unencrypted serial numbers and encrypted programmed sectors. Refer to Table 1 for a complete list of compatible standards and data.
FEATURES Universal compatibility with most 125 kHz Prox (including all HID® Prox formats) and with all ISO 15693 and ISO 14443A credentials (badges, disk tags and key fobs). Reads both 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz credentials in the same reader. Electrical protection (reverse polarity diode protection on power lines) Data lines: high-speed transient voltage suppressor diodes IP65-rated sealed electronics for deployment in both interior and...
MOUNTING Mount the single-gang backplate (with tamper magnet installed) onto the wall. FIGURE 1. Model SWH-4200 Reader Backplate (includes tamper switch magnet) NOTE Mounting holes fit standard U.S. single-width electrical box and standard European (EMEA) electrical box hole patterns.
(including 1 optional isolation spacer) INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS An isolation spacer (available from Software House, part number SWH-ISOSPC) may be used to improve the read range distance when mounting the reader to a metal surface. To optimize reader range use the number of backplates as indicated in Table 2.

WIRING The Model SWH-4200 has twelve terminals as noted in Table 3. The terminal strip is removable for easy installation and wiring. When attaching wires to the connector, strip off only the minimum insulation required (approx. 1/8'') and push the wire into the connector until the insulation is flush or inside the connector body.
Table 4 indicates maximum wiring distances per Wiegand standard with the three most common gauges of cable. TABLE 4. Maximum cable distance for 18, 20, or 22 AWG wire Wire Gauge 18 AWG 20AWG 22 AWG Cable 500 feet 300 feet 200 feet Distance (152 meters)
TROUBLESHOOTING If the operation of a component is in doubt, substitute a known good component and retry the system.
