Access Control Install

Overview

The VALT software can work in conjunction with RFID, or pin code, Weigand cards and readers. One of the main advantages to using the card readers is that it gives the users a simple way to start and stop recordings while maintaining a level of security. Cards numbers are assigned to users, so the system knows who started and stopped recordings. To use Weigand readers with the VALT system, you will need Axis A10001 controllers. See controller instructions for specifics regarding wiring readers to the controller. VALT specific installation instructions are detailed below.

Wiring Axis A1001 with HID Reader (Weigand)

Tools Needed

• Axis A1001 Network Door Controller
• Small Flat head screw driver
• Phillips head screwdriver
• Wire strippers
• Hole saw
• Small and large anchors
• Small and large screws
• 7ft or 14ft Cat5/6 cable
• HID Multiclass SE RP15 Card Reader
• 22/8 cable
• B-Connectors (Optional)

Wiring Instructions

1. Remove HID Card Reader and Axis A1001 from their boxes.
2. Wire the HID RP15 to the Axis A1001, using the following image as a guideline. Tighten leads with a small flat head screwdriver (if you need longer leads, you can strip Cat5/6 wiring to and connect with B-Connectors to the leads off of the HID Card Reader).
3. Ensure the remaining leads are not touching (bare wires). Feel free to cut these as they are not needed.
4. Plug the CAT5/6 patch cable into the Axis A1001 to provide power via POE.
