Table 1 describes the features of the Cisco Physical Access Reader Module.
Table 1. Cisco Physical Access Reader Module Features
Feature Description
Doors Managed Up to two doors.
Reader/Lock Power Powers external devices such as readers or locks. The maximum current draw is limited to 650mA at
12 VDC.
Connectors
Table 2 describes the connectivity and connectors of the Cisco Physical Access Reader Module.
Table 2. Cisco Physical Access Reader Module Connectors
Connector Description
Weigand Reader There is one 10-pin Weigand/clock and data reader interface on the device. This can be configured as
two 5-pin Weigand/clock and data interfaces for installations where a 5-pin interface is sufficient.
Inputs There are three inputs, each of which can be configured as supervised or unsupervised.
Outputs There are three Form C relay outputs, with contacts rated 5A @ 30V DC or 125VAC (resistive). Each
can be configured as either Normally Closed (NC) or Normally Open (NO)

Connector Description
Tamper Input Unsupervised input; raises a ?tamper? alarm when activated. Can be repurposed for general use by
software configuration.
Power Fail Input Unsupervised input; raises a ?power fail? alarm when activated. Can be repurposed for general use by
software configuration.
Power Includes a 2-pin connector for connecting a 12 to 24 VDC external power source.
RS-485 The RS-485 interface is reserved for future use.
CAN Bus A 3-wire connection is used to connect to the controller area network (CAN) bus.
CAN Termination A switch allows for the CAN bus to be terminated. This is needed for the last module on the CAN bus.
