The MIFARE



 Wiegand Reader is a self contained proximity Reader, frequently used in Access Control 

Systems.  The antenna and all associated electronics are assembled in a polycarbonate housing.  The 
Reader contains a micro-controller unit that controls an RF field that is generated at 13.56MHz. The 
Reader has a sensitive receiver circuit that detects ID card data and passes it along to the micro-
controller for decoding. The Reader output is configured in the "Wiegand" style electrical interface for 
model 6074A.  The Reader has a single Bicolor LED that will emit red, green or amber colors.  Installation 
of the MIFARE



 Wiegand Reader consists of mounting the Reader and connecting the cable to the Host 

via the Pigtail. 

Access Cards are to be presented to the front of the Reader.  The LED is red when ready to read an ID 
card.  The LED turns green when the card is read and a message is transmitted to the Host computer or 
interface panel.  When the system is ready for another card, the LED returns to red.  The LED is flashed 
green and the Beeper is activated for 500 milliseconds when they are controlled by the internal micro-
controller.  The operation of the LED and beeper is often controlled by the Host panel.  If Host controlled, 
the operation will deviate from Host to Host.  The MIFARE



 Wiegand reader’s default configuration can 

accept green and beeper input control lines that allows control of green LED and beeper only (Red input 
is not supported).

See Cable Notes 

1.  Determine an appropriate mounting position for the Reader. Drill two 7/64th (.109) Inch holes for 

mounting the Reader to the surface (see figure 1).  Drill a 3/8 to 1.0 Inch hole for the cable.  Place a 
grommet around the edge of the hole.   Route the interface cable from the Reader and/or power 
supply to the Host.  Check all electrical codes for proper cable installation. 

2.   The  MIFARE



 Wiegand Reader is a Pigtail style with a 18” - 9 conductor cable. Prepare the new 

cable by cutting the cable jacket back 1-1/4” and strip the wires ¼”.  Splice the cable and the pigtail  
together and seal the splice.  Trim and cover all conductors that are not used. 

3.  Connect the Reader and Host together according to the wiring diagram with figure 2 and the Host 

installation guide.  The legend for wiring is color coded (according to the "Wiegand Standard") for the 
recommended cable. 

4.   After wiring the Reader and power supply, the Reader is ready to be tested.  Power up the Reader 

and the red LED will be on when operating under the factory default reader configuration. This 
indicates that the micro-controller unit is working properly.  Present an ID card to the Reader and the 
LED should momentarily turn green, indicating a read of the card.  If the Reader LED is controlled by 
the Host refer to the Host description of the LED operation. 

5.   Mount the Reader with the provided screws when mounting onto metal mullions or junction boxes.  

On other materials use the appropriate fastener.
