Legacy readers

The Kisi Controller Pro 2, equipped with a Wiegand board interface, offers seamless support for legacy access control readers that support the Wiegand communication protocol.

Wiring a legacy reader​

To use a legacy reader with Kisi, it is essential to wire it correctly to the Wiegand board.

  1. Select one of the four Wiegand channels on the Wiegand board
  2. Toggle the switch of the selected Wiegand channel to READER mode
  3. Connect the legacy reader's D0 wire to the D0 port of the Wiegand channel (Green - Data line 0)
  4. Connect the legacy reader's D1 wire to the D1 port of the Wiegand channel (White - Data line 1)
  5. Connect the legacy reader's + wire to the + port of the Wiegand channel (Red - 12 volts direct current)
  6. Connect the legacy reader's - wire to the - port of the Wiegand channel (Black - Ground)
  7. Connect the legacy reader's LED cable to the G (Green) port of the Wiegand channel

Supported legacy readers​

info
  • The Wiegand board supports all legacy readers that use the Wiegand communication protocol and are compatible with 125 kHz credential technology. For this information, please refer to the datasheet of your reader.
  • A Wiegand reader that supports NFC will be compatible with Kisi, provided it is Wiegand-based. This setup allows the NFC card to be converted into a Wiegand UID, making it appear as a low-frequency third-party credential within the Kisi system.

Please find a non-exhaustive list of supported reader types below. For any reader types not listed below, please contact Kisi Support.
