MD-81

Wiegand Interface for UHF Multi-Credential Applications

Rosslare's MD-81 is designed to be used with the AY-U900 or AY-U910 when

multiple UHF credentials must be read simultaneously and then transmitted to
the Wiegand input of an access control panel.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
In applications where multiple UHF credentials are to
be read simultaneously, a large quantity of ID data is
sent to an access control panel.
Most access control panels receive ID data in
Wiegand format and the Wiegand inputs of these
panels usually cannot support receiving ID data at a
high data rate. This can result in some ID data being
lost and therefore not seen by the access control
panel.
The MD-81 is an interface placed between the reader
and the access control panel to resolve this problem.
It receives high speed ID data on an RS-232
communications bus, identifies unique IDs, buffers
them, and then transmits them in Wiegand 26-Bit or
34-Bit format (depending on the output received
from the reader) with a 2.5-second delay between
each Wiegand transmission that any access control
panel can receive.
The MD-81 can work with any reader that outputs ID
Data over RS-232 and with any Wiegand 26-Bit or
34-Bit controller. It is suitable for use with the
AY-U900 or AY-U910 and any Rosslare access
control panel.
The MD-81 comes with a DB-25 to DB-9 adapter for
use with the AY-U910, as well as a 1.5 m (5 ft)
RS-232 cable.
