Schlage Electronics WRI400 Outdoor Wireless Reader Interface, Compatible with Wiegand or Clock & Data, Includes Weatherproof Enclosure, 12/24 VDC

Yes. The WRI400 wireless reader interface accepts either Wiegand or Clock & Data output, so a reader using either of those two common credential protocols can be wired into it. Confirm which of the two your reader is set to before you wire it in, since that is the one thing that decides whether the interface reads the credential at all.

That is what it is built for. The WRI400 is an outdoor wireless reader interface and ships with a weatherproof enclosure, so the electronics are protected in an exterior location without you sourcing a separate housing.

It works within the same system as the AD-300, AD-301, AD-400 and AD-401 series, so a gate or perimeter reader on a WRI400 can sit on the same access control system as AD-Series openings elsewhere in the building. That is the usual reason to buy one: an opening that cannot take a lock, like a gate or an overhead door, still needs to read the same credential.

They sit at different points in the access control system. The Schlage Electronics WRI400 is an outdoor wireless reader interface: it takes a reader that outputs Wiegand or Clock and Data, houses it in a weatherproof enclosure, runs on 12/24 VDC, and links that opening back over the wireless path used by the AD-300, AD-301, AD-400 and AD-401 series. The CDVI Americas A22 ATRIUM is a 2-door controller with power supply and box, supplied as a controller with reader. So the WRI400 brings one reader onto an existing Schlage AD wireless system, while the A22 is the door controller itself for two openings.

The Schlage Electronics WRI400 is built around readers that output Wiegand or Clock and Data, so the credential security is whatever the attached reader and head end provide. If the requirement is an encrypted credential path, the CDVI Americas A22K Krypto is a high security encrypted 2-door controller, and the CDVI Americas Atrium A22K1 goes further by shipping with two K1 readers and DESFire EV2 credentials so the reader and card are matched to the controller out of the box. Both are controller-with-reader products, meaning they replace the controller as well as the reader rather than interfacing to an existing Schlage AD system.

Not as a like-for-like swap. The WRI400 is a wireless reader interface tied to the Schlage AD-300, AD-301, AD-400 and AD-401 series, so it extends a system that already exists and expects a reader with Wiegand or Clock and Data output. The CDVI Americas A22 ATRIUM and the A22K Krypto are each a 2-door controller with reader, an independent controller platform with its own readers and, on the A22K1, its own DESFire EV2 credentials. Substituting one for the other means changing the head end and the credential, not just the box at the door.

The Schlage Electronics WRI400 is the reader interface and weatherproof enclosure only; the reader and the locking hardware at the opening are separate line items. If a package is preferred, the CDVI Americas A22K1DS KRYPTO Kit ships as a kit with door strikes, so the controller, readers and strikes arrive together for two openings. That is the practical split for a facility standardizing a small number of new openings versus adding a reader to an existing Schlage AD wireless deployment.

The Schlage Electronics WRI400 is the outdoor unit of the group: it is an outdoor wireless reader interface supplied with a weatherproof enclosure and running on 12/24 VDC, which is what lets the reader electronics sit at an exposed opening. The CDVI Americas A22 ATRIUM is supplied with a power supply and box as a 2-door controller, the arrangement normally mounted on the protected side with reader wiring run out to the opening. Match the choice to where the electronics actually have to live.

Commercial. The WRI400 is a commercial-grade electronic access control device, which is the class of product used on multi-family, institutional and MRO openings rather than a homeowner-grade gate reader.

One configuration only. The outdoor wireless reader interface is sold as the WRI400, with the weatherproof enclosure included, so there is no finish, handing or trim choice to specify. What you do have to decide on your side is the reader you attach and whether it is set to Wiegand or Clock & Data.
