918W OPERATION

The 918W EntryCheck™ keypad will emulate a reader credential.  
Entering a ‘card’ number followed by ‘#” will transmit the 
programmed facility code plus the card number as a 26-bit 
Wiegand output.  The card number entered must be > 0 and < 
65,535.

For example, if the default Facility Code has been changed to 
123, pressing 1234 + #, will send ‘12301234’ as the complete 
card number.
