Learn how to install Wiegand readers with keypads to Verkada Access Controllers

All Verkada access controllers are rated to power readers at 12V up to 250mA via the + (VIN) and – (GND) connection. Verkada readers use the 4-port input (labeled as RS-485) while standard Wiegand readers use the 4-port inputs (labeled wiegand) and the shared power from the RS-485 connection. Read the steps to connect the reader to an access controller.

Verkada Access Controllers accept 4-bit bursts for keypad transmission.

Please set your reader transmission format according to the settings according to the manufacturer’s manual.

After users enter a PIN or entry code on a keypad reader, they must press # to submit the code (for example, 1234#). This applies to Verkada keypad readers (such as the AD64), intercom keypads (such as the TD63), and third-party Wiegand or OSDP keypad readers wired to Verkada access controllers.
