2a. Wire the reader
CAUTION: Install the reader on a flat, stable surface.
Failure to do so may compromise the IP rating and/or
tamper feature. If mounting on or near metal, a spacer
is recommended for optimal read performance. Refer
to the Readers and Credentials How to Order Guide
(PLT-02630) for available options and part numbers.
CAUTION: Use the supplied screws to ensure correct
fitting and to avoid damaging the reader or mounting
plate. HID is not responsible for damage due to use of
unapproved mounting hardware.
For Imperial (US):
Use supplied flat head/countersunk 0.138-32 x 0.375"
screws.
For Metric (EU etc):
Use supplied flat head/countersunk M3.5 x 12mm

2b. Wire the reader
Notes:
• Wiring the reader incorrectly may permanently damage the reader.
• Previous iCLASS® readers had reversed RS-485 wiring (P2-7 & P2-6 - A & B). When upgrading to a
HID Signo reader, ensure proper connections as defined above.
• Data 0 and Data 1 wires for Wiegand may be reused for OSDP. However, standard Wiegand cable
may not meet RS485 twisted pair recommendations.
• For OSDP cable lengths greater than 200 ft (61 m) or EMF interference, install 120Ω +/- 2Ω resistor
across RS-485 termination ends.
• For readers with Tamper Evident Labels, inspect your reader after first unboxing. If any seals are
broken, please contact HID Technical Support.
