Summary/Issue Description
The MS-Connect 210 does not allow the external membrane switches to be programmed for other uses.
In order to unlatch an output, you will need to wire a separate momentary switch to “Input 1” on the inside terminal(s) of the MS-Connect 210.
Supported Products
All readers that allow Output X = Latch mode 1 (unlatch on Input # 1 pin) where X is the number of the Output in the I/O section of the reader settings. Typically called Output 1, 2, or 3.
Solution
Here is a quick sketch showing the wiring of a switch to the terminals in the MS-Connect 210
The connections are as follows:
- PWR+ to INPUT1+
- PWR- to one side of the switch
- INPUT1- to the other side of the switch
You may be able to remove one of the feed-throughs on the bottom of the MS-Connect 210 and install the switch in the opening to avoid having to run cable.
