INTRODUCTION The SWH-4000 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 MIFARE® programmed sectors. Refer to Table 1 and Table 2 for a complete list of compatible standards...

MIFARE 7-byte CSN Support - The reader firmware will be able to distinguish between a legacy MIFARE Classic card and a “next- generation” MIFARE classic card. The next generation MIFARE cards have a unique 7-byte serial number, not 4-byte. When presented to a reader, the next-gen card causes the reader to output a 56-bit CSN.
MOUNTING Mount the reader module directly to a metal door frame or wall and snap the front cover in place as indicated in Figure 1. Use suitable hardware for the mounting application. FIGURE 1. Mounting Assembly...
WIRING NOTES The SWH-4000 model has ten terminals as noted in Table 3. 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. This is particularly critical for outdoor readers.

INSTALLATION NOTES Unless otherwise specified in this manual, please follow these guidelines: 1. Shielded cable is required between the reader and the controller, where the shield is grounded only on the controller end. 2. You can use a local power supply for the reader. If so, don’t connect the power supply from the controller to the reader.
CONFIGURATION NOTES To change the default reader settings requires the use of special program cards that are available from the Software House Applications Department. Program cards are used to set a specific MIFARE read key and change other settings including card technologies to be read.

To upgrade the reader, you need to obtain the new firmware file from Software House, and then connect to the reader through a local RS485 connection, using terminals 9 and 10.
