Installing the PW-6000 Two-Reader Module

Power

Power
The Two-Reader Module accepts 12VDC with an operating range of 10 to 16VDC and consumes
250mA of current without readers. Locate power source as close to this board as possible. Connect
power with minimum of 18AWG wire.The input voltage is regulated to 5VDC.The regulated voltage
or the 12VDC (pass through) is available for powering the readers. The selection is made via jumpers
and is available at both reader connectors.
Note: POLARITY for 12VDC power is important. Make sure the +12 VDC is connected to the terminal
labeled +12V and the return is connected to the terminal labeled GND.

Communications

The Two-Reader Module communicates to the host controller via an RS-485 interface.The interface
allows for multi-drop communication of up to 4,000 feet (1,200 m) total per port. Use two twisted pair
(minimum 24AWG) with shield for communication. The default speed of this port is 38.4Kbps but it
can be downgraded to 19.2Kbps or 9.6Kbps if the line conditions or receiving equipment require it
(see Table 1
For wiring to an RS-485 port:
1. TR+ is the plus side of the transmit and receive differential signal.
2. TR- is the negative side of the transmit and receive differential signal.
3. GND is the signal ground.The wiring for this signal is required and
4. Use 24 AWG low capacitance, two twisted-pair, shielded cable (Belden 9842 or equivalent).
5. When daisy-chaining RS-485 ports together, connect the TR+ wires from the upstream and
By factory default J1 is set open. If this board is the last board on the RS-485 bus, install jumper J1
across both pins (closed). Closing J1 provides the bus termination required.
