# Keypad Pincode Formats

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](/access-control/installation/wire-a-door-to-a-verkada-access-controller.md) to an access controller.
