Wicket Reader Interfaces
For Carwash, Laundry, Arcade And Other Markets
Rev. 10/2008
General Description
The WR88 Wicket Reader requires 5VDC to operate and has both an
output signal and an input signal for connecting it to the system
equipment. The WR88 may be configured in the field to use those input
and output signals for serial data communication, or it may use them to
create an output pulse and to monitor the operational status of the system
equipment. These Wicket Reader Interface Modules have been designed to
convert local available power to 5VDC and provide the proper interface
voltages, currents, and connectors for interfacing to a variety of system
equipment.
Interface modules covered in this document include:
WK-LV Module: Pulse Output - Low Voltage Interface
WK-HV Module: Pulse Output - High Voltage Interface
WK-CD Module: Serial Port – Card-Display Protocol
WK-MDB Module: Serial Port - MDB Vendor Protocol
Interface documentation for Turbo Accessories applications, including Wickets Jackpot, Registration &
Redemption, and Night Access Door Control, are found within the Turbo Accessories documentation.
Pulse Output - Low Voltage: WK-LV Module
The Model WK-LV Pulse Output - Low Voltage
Interface Module was primarily designed for
applications powered by either 24VAC or 12-
28VDC and requiring a "coin pulse" style interface
to
activate
the
service
equipment.
Such
applications include carwash equipment, laundry
equipment, low voltage arcade games and other
similar equipment.
Its three diagnostic LED indicators provide visual operational information that may be helpful during
installation and for troubleshooting problems. The enclosure dimensions are 3.3" L x 2.2" W x 1.0" H
(84mm x 56mm x 20mm) and comes with adhesive Velcro mounting strips. An RJ-11 telephone style
connector on the right side of the enclosure is to plug in the WR88 Wicket Reader. A wiring harness with
16" leads plugs into the field wiring connector on the left hand side of the enclosure. Note: Because there
is more than one style of wiring harness (see below) it is a separately ordered item.
