CDVI DGLP FN WLC26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the CDVI DGLP FN WLC26 prox reader work with my existing 125 kHz cards?
The DGLP reader runs at 125 kHz and reads CDVI, HID, Centaur, and most popular 26-bit card and fob formats. If your existing credentials are 125 kHz 26-bit Wiegand, they will read. Cards on 13.56 MHz smart card technology will not.
2) Can I mount this CDVI reader outside in an exposed entry?
It is rated for indoor or outdoor use. The PCB is potted in epoxy, the housing is rugged polycarbonate, and it carries an IP53 rating, so it handles dust and weather on a covered or semi-exposed entry. Operating range is -22 F to 140 F (-30 C to 60 C), which covers most North American climates.
3) What power and wiring does the DGLP prox reader need?
12 Vdc input, drawing 100 mA. Output is 26-bit Wiegand, so it lands on any panel or controller with a standard Wiegand reader port. Size your power supply and voltage drop on the cable run for that 100 mA load at 12 V.
4) Is the CDVI DGLP a standalone door controller or does it need a panel?
It is a reader only. It sends 26-bit Wiegand to a separate access control panel, which makes the access decision and drives the lock. If you want reader and controller in one package, look at the CDVI Atrium A22KITSTB 2-door kit, which bundles the A22 controller, two STAR readers, and 15 credentials, or the Schlage Electronics CTE ENGAGE single door controller with a mobile-enabled multi-technology reader over RS-485.
5) Our credentials are moving to mobile - can the DGLP FN WLC26 read phones?
No. The DGLP FN WLC26 reads 125 kHz proximity cards and fobs in CDVI, Centaur, HID and most popular 26-bit formats, and outputs Wiegand. For mobile credentials, the Schlage Electronics CTE ENGAGE single door controller with mobile-enabled multi-technology reader is the unit to specify; it also connects by direct RS-485 rather than Wiegand, so the head-end wiring differs from a Wiegand reader run.
6) Does the DGLP FN WLC26 prox reader work on its own, or do I still need a door controller?
The DGLP FN WLC26 is a reader only. It is a 125 kHz proximity reader with Wiegand output, 12 Vdc input at 100 mA, that has to be wired back to an access control panel that makes the unlock decision. If you do not already have a panel at the opening, a combined unit such as the CDVI Americas A22KITSTB Atrium 2-Door Kit, which pairs the A22 controller with readers and credentials, covers both the controller and the reader side of a two-door job in one part number.
7) I need to control two doors from scratch - is the DGLP FN WLC26 the right starting point?
For a from-scratch two-door install, the CDVI Americas A22KITSTB Atrium kit is the more complete starting point: it bundles the A22 controller, two readers and 15 credentials as a controller-with-reader package. The DGLP FN WLC26 is the reader alone, suited to adding or replacing a reader on a system whose panel is already in place. It reads CDVI, HID and most popular 125 kHz 26-bit formats at up to 3.5 inches.
8) How far away will the CDVI DGLP read a card?
Up to 3.5 inches (8 cm), depending on the credential. Clamshell cards typically read further than thin ISO cards or small fobs. On a mullion install, plan for the user to present the card close to the face rather than wave it from a distance.
9) Does this reader tell the user whether the card was accepted?
Yes. Red and green LEDs plus a buzzer give both visual and audible feedback at the door, so a tenant or employee knows if the credential was read and accepted without watching the lock.
10) What approvals does the CDVI DGLP prox reader carry?
RoHS, WEEE, IP53, CE, FCC and R&TTE. For a spec submittal, the IP53 ingress rating and FCC are usually the two a reviewer looks for on an exterior card reader.
11) Is this reader suitable for a commercial building or is it a residential product?
It is built for commercial access control. Potted electronics, polycarbonate housing, and the -22 F to 140 F operating range are there for exterior doors in multi-family, office and institutional buildings rather than light residential duty.
