| Dimensions: Single Gang | 4.9 x 3.25 x .85 inches / 125 x 83 x 21.7 mm (H W D) |
| Audio | 5 kHz buzzer |
| IP Rating* | IP65 moisture and dust protection |
* The IP Code classifies and rates the degree of protection provided by mechanical casings and electrical enclosures against intrusion, dust, accidental contact, and water. The first number is for solids protection such as dust; it ranges from 0 to 6. The second number (5 in this case) is for the part's protection against liquids; it ranges from 0 to 8.
Wiegand Format
The standard 26-bit Wiegand format is an open format; it is a widely-used industry standard. Almost all access control systems accept the standard 26-bit format which consists of two parity bits, 8-bit facility code, and 16-bit card number fields. The Wiegand interface is commonly used to connect a card swipe mechanism to the rest of an access control system. The physical size limitations of the card dictated that a maximum of 37 Wiegand wire filaments could be placed in a standard card before misreads would affect reliability; therefore, most Wiegand formats used in physical access control are less than 37 bits in length.
Wiegand Reader Wiring Output
Follow all wiring and safety precautions to connect the mullion or single-gang reader to your access control panel (single io or eight io). Mount the door controller with 22/8 wire. This reader supports formats using 26- to 37-bit 125 kHz credentials and outputs the card data through a standard Wiegand interface.
Rugged Reader Wire Conductors
IMPORTANT: When connecting a rugged reader to an eight io or an eight io+ door controller, DO NOT connect the yellow wire of the rugged reader to the - (negative) on the 'AB-' connector. It causes the piezo to sound non-stop; it is always a live connection.

Rugged Reader Installation
Reader Install - Information Overview
This information provides instructions for installing a ProdataKey mullion or a single-gang rugged reader.
IMPORTANT: A ProdataKey Cloud Node is required to operate these rugged readers.
Package Contents
- Single-Gang Rugged Reader (1) or Mullion Rugged Reader (1)
- Mounting screws (4)
- Wall anchors (4) for mounting to drywall
- Diode (1)
Recommended Tools
- Drill with the appropriate size drill bits
- Security-tip screw bit (to match security screw head at the base of each reader)
- Electrical tape
- Pencil (to mark hole positions on the mounting surface)
- Low voltage white B wire splice connectors (If the wires will be outside, exposed to the elements, use blue gel-filled B wire splice connectors.)
- Wire stripper/crimper
Before you begin the installation, read the instructions thoroughly. Make sure you have read and understand the Safety Information.
Wiegand Wiring
Strip the ends of the wires and pair the reader wires with the corresponding controller wires (see conductor wiring chart below) by inserting the exposed ends of each wire pair (one of each door controller and reader) into each end of a B connector wire splice; crimp the wires tightly. It is recommended that each B connector be crimped three times to ensure the wire pairs are held securely in the wire splice and will not disconnect. Repeat this for each set of paired wires, ensuring that both wires are securely crimped inside a B connector.
NOTE: If wires will be outside/exposed to the elements, use the blue gel-filled B connectors.
If you have any wiring questions or concerns, feel free to contact our Support team.
IMPORTANT: When connecting a rugged reader to an eight io or an eight io+ door controller, DO NOT connect the yellow wire of the rugged reader to the - (negative) on the 'AB-' connector module. It will cause the piezo to sound non-stop (it is an always-live connection).
WARNING: Disconnect power before working with the ProdataKey product. DO NOT mount the product while power is applied. Always apply power at the end of the installation after verifying wiring connections are correct; incorrect wiring could cause damage to the product.
Step 1 - Remove the two security screws from the reader’s bottom panel using a security screw bit to remove the reader’s backplate bracket.

|
Single-Gang Reader |
Step 2 - Use the backplate’s mounting and cable holes to mark the four mounting hole positions and a larger hole for the wire cable bundle. Drill four holes to support the mounting screws (and wall anchors, if mounting on drywall).
|
|
|
Drill a larger hole into the wall between the four small holes large enough to pass the paired reader and controller wires through. Once the wires are paired, crimped, and wrapped in electrical tape, the wires will need room to be pushed back and concealed inside the wall prior to mounting the reader.
Feed the wires from the door controller through the wall hole in preparation for pairing with the reader wires.
NOTE: There may be some degree of pulling and pushing on the wires during the reader install process (especially while concealing the paired wires inside the wall). It is recommended that each B connector be crimped three times to ensure the wire pairs are held securely in the wire splice and will not disconnect. After all wires are paired and crimped, wrap the wire bundle securely with electrical tape around the B connector splices so they remain together and for ease when pulling/pushing the bundle through the wall. Conceal the wire bundle inside the wall in preparation for and prior to mounting the reader.
Strip the ends of the wires and pair the Mullion / Single-Gang Reader wires with the appropriate controller wires by inserting the exposed ends of each wire pair (one of each door controller and Mullion / Single-Gang Reader) into each end of a B connector wire splice; crimp the wires tightly. Repeat this for each set of paired wires, ensuring that both wires are securely crimped inside a B connector.
After all wires are connected and concealed inside the wall, align the bracket’s holes to the holes in the wall surface and mount the plate with the four provided screws so it is securely fastened to the wall.
Step 3 - With the rugged reader’s backplate bracket securely mounted to the wall surface, mount the main rugged reader unit by angling the reader’s top slot into the corresponding tab at the top of the mounted plate.
Secure the reader to the backplate by replacing and tightening the previously removed security screws into the bottom mounting tab holes.
IMPORTANT: A ProdataKey Cloud Node is required to operate a mullion or a single-gang rugged reader.
Operation
-
When swiping credentials, the LED turns green and the piezo buzzer sounds. Afterward, the LED returns to red.
-
When the LED wire (brown) is pulled to ground, the LED turns green.
-
When the Piezo buzzer wire (yellow) is pulled to ground, the piezo sounds. The piezo has a timeout of 30 seconds.
- The green wire is for Wiegand data 0, and white wire is for data 1.
NOTE: For UL certified wire installations, all wire running from a door controller to a lock, strike, or reader device must be less than 98.5 feet (30 meters).
Enable Card or PIN Mode for Rugged Readers
When the ProdataKey Single-Gang and Mullion readers come from the factory, by default they are in "virtual card mode". To take it out of that mode so that they can be used with an access card or a PIN, it will be necessary to enter the following code on the reader:
*888888#731#**
This code is only required for pdk readers. Entering this code allows the reader to send a PIN format in 4-bit data instead of virtual card format. This allows for use of an access card or a PIN for secure access.
NOTE: Using a leading zero at the start of a PIN will drop that 0 digit when it is used in PDK. A PIN with a leading zero shouldn't be used. As an example, if a PIN of 0123 is created and entered into the reader, the system will see it as 123. Zero is a non-significant digit and is dropped at the start of a number. The system will not recognize a PIN number with a leading zero as a valid PIN and will not allow it.
The following master operation table describes the necessary codes for the required mode. The LED color will indicate the operation mode.
Enter the desired master operation mode. (The reader will return to Normal Mode if there is no proper master PIN input within 5 seconds.) After input of the master PIN, the reader will return to Normal Mode if there is no valid operation within 30 seconds. Press # to confirm the input code number. The LED color will indicate the operation mode.
What the *888888#731#** keypress sequence is doing:
- * (White LED background)
- 888888 (puts the reader in programming mode)
- # (confirms the input number)
- 731# (red flash, orange flash, sends keypress in 4-bit data format)
- ** (takes the reader out of programming mode).
NOTE: If the reader doesn't beep/react when presenting a card format, it's not compatible with the reader.
