THE BRIDGE MANUAL v.7.17.17 The Bridge is a revolutionary product that will make any Wiegand device instantly wireless with no programming or configuration whatsoever it literally is a plug and play device. WHAT S ILUDED There are two pieces that complete the Bridge system. THE UNIT is wired to any access control panel regardless of the systems Wiegand protocol and communicates wirelessly with THE UNIT which is placed near any peripheral Wiegand device (card reader / keypad / receiver / etc.) The Remote and Central units are able to communicate wirelessly up to 1/3 of a mile* through obstructions. This communication is made possible through our patented technology called SureFi. HOW IT WORKS... Each Bridge system comes equipped with 2 Wiegand inputs, 2 relay outputs, and has the ability to power and wirelessly operate a mag lock, electric door strike, door position sensor, request to exit button, gate operator or any other device controlled through a relay. The Bridge system comes preprogrammed and paired from the factory so there is no setup or configuration required simply wire the devices as shown in the wiring steps and power the units on for immediate functionality. With the paired communication preset between remote and central units, it is possible to use up to 50 Bridge systems simultaneously in one location with no interference issues. 1

1. PROVIDE PROPER POWER TO AND UNITS Each side of The Bridge (Remote and Central) need 1 amp of current draw to transmit at full power. If you intend to power a maglock, strike or other device through the wet relay on the product control board (see steps 4 & 5 for wet relay configuration), you will need to take into consideration the current draw for these additional devices and increase the rating of your power supply to accommodate the added power consumption. It is important to note for those devices you intend to power through the wet relay contact, that voltage supplied through the main power input terminal will output the same voltage through the wet relay contacts on the product control board. Take careful consideration that appropriate voltage is supplied to devices powered through the wet relay contact.

Verify Wiegand bit string does not exceed 56. If possible, try another Wiegand Device. 2 If STILL TRANSMIT Reset Power º If TRANSMIT returns verify electric strikes, mag locks, and other inductive devices are properly clamped and surge protected. Remote Hardware is possibly bad or damaged. 14
Verify Wiegand Receive at Central Present credential to Wiegand Device. The TRANSMIT on the should light for ½ second. The RECEIVE on the should light for ½ second. D7 POWER D6 D5 TRANSMIT D4 RECEIVE 1 If RECEIVE on Central Look for obvious heavy obstruction or interference. Move the Central closer to the Remote to and test if in question. º If the Central and Remote are moved in close proximity and the Transmit lights on the Remote without the Receive on the Central, then Central hardware is possibly bad or damaged. 2 If units work in closer proximity Verify Remote and Central power supplies are capable of delivering 1 AMP @ 12VDC. Put both Central and Remote units in an upright, vertical position. Elevate as high as possible. Locate with least amount of obstruction between units as possible. Look for signs of obvious RF interference (difficult to do, but unlikely the cause). 3 If still RECEIVE on Central Verify inductive devices are properly clamped and surge protected. Central Hardware is possibly bad or damaged. Verify Wiegand Receive at Controller Present credential to Wiegand Device at Remote. The TRANSMIT on the should light for ½ second. The RECEIVE on the should light for ½ second. The TRANSMIT on the should light for ½ second.

Put both Central and Remote units in an upright, vertical position. Elevate as high as possible. Locate with least amount of obstruction between units as possible. Look for signs of obvious RF interference (difficult to do, but unlikely the cause). 3 If still RECEIVE on Remote Verify inductive devices are properly clamped and surge protected. Central Hardware is possibly bad or damaged. 4 If still RECEIVE on Remote Verify electric strikes, mag locks, and other inductive devices are properly clamped and surge protected. Remote Hardware is possibly bad or damaged. Verify Remote Relay Outputs Present credential to Wiegand Device at Remote. The TRANSMIT on the should light for ½ second. The RECEIVE on the should light for ½ second. The TRANSMIT on the should light for ½ second. The RECEIVE on the should light for ½ second. You should hear a brief click of the corresponding relay on the. 1 If RELAY on Remote Verify the correct Relay Input is connected to the Central. 2 If Relay actuated, but no device actuation Verify normally open/normally closed wiring. Verify wet (12DC common) or dry ( common) requirements. 3 If still actuation from the Remote Relay Verify inductive devices are properly clamped and surge protected. Switch to or swap with another relay channel and test. Remote Hardware is possibly bad or damaged. 16
Common Problems Controller is logging double entries The Remote is retrying the transmission because the Central didn t respond with a relay Command. º Wiegand credential not registered at controller (so no Relay asserted) º Latency (delay) of controller is greater than ½ second. º Central relay input is not connected to Controller Controller will not accept Wiegand from Central Bridge Verify Wiegand bit string is less than 56 bits. Refer to Bridge User Manual for series diode instruction on Wiegand data lines. Central or Remote is locking up (power reset makes it work again) Verify inductive devices are properly clamped and surge protected. Remote and Central will communicate in close range but not in installation Verify the power supply is 12 VDC @ 1 AMP. Lower amperage will cause shorter range. Reduce obstructions where possible. Position Central and Remote units in upright, vertical position. Dual keypads Use the keypad in single wire mode. Some require a dipswitch setting and others automatically detect. Typically the output of the Remote is connected to the ORANGE wire. Consult your reader user manual for specific instructions. The Remote follows the corresponding Relay Output. No Central connection is required. 17
