9. BR20 Standard Format Code Summary:
The following formats are supported in standard models (31002-8000/31012-8000).
Unless otherwise indicated, the LED input line controls both LEDs (low=green, high=red); the BUZZER input
controls the buzzer (low = activate); a good read is signaled by a flash of the green LED; a bad read is signaled
by a flash of the red LED and a double beep of the buzzer.
Format 0 - 32-bit Wiegand compatible output from standard Northern Computer mag card. 16-bit facility code
and 16-bit user ID. Reverse read and error filter is enabled. Tamper monitor disabled.
Format 1 - Basic mag-stripe data output: send track 2 data without any verification or formatting using CLOCK/
DATA signaling. All reads are "good", card data sent as is. Tamper monitor disabled.
Format 2 - Mag-stripe data output with zero trim using CLOCK/DATA signaling. All reads are "good", trims
excess zero bits, otherwise send data as is. Tamper monitor enabled.
Format 3 - Mag-stripe data output with zero trim, reverse read correction, and error filter enabled using CLOCK/
DATA signaling. Tamper monitor disabled.
Format 4 - 26-bit Wiegand (8-bit fac. and 16-bit ID) compatible output from cards with 8 or more digits or AMC
encoding. See Format 5 for digit usage. Tamper monitor disabled.
Format 5 - 34-bit Wiegand (12-bit fac. and 20-bit ID) compatible output from cards with 8 or more digits or AMC
encoding. Tamper monitor disabled.

Format 6 - 26-bit Wiegand compatible output from standard Northern Computer 32-bit mag-stripe card. The lower
8 bits of the 16-bit facility code is used as facility code. The 16-bit user ID is unaltered. Reverse read
and error filter is enabled. Tamper monitor disabled
Format 7 - Mag-stripe data output with zero trim and reverse read correction using DATA 1/DATA 0 signaling.
Tamper monitor disabled.
Format 12 - Mag-stripe data output: send track 2 data without any verification or formatting using CLOCK/DATA.
All reads are "good", card data is sent as is. 2-wire LED control. No buzzer control. Tamper monitor
disabled.
Format 13 - Mag-stripe data output with zero trim and reverse read correction using DATA 1/DATA 0 signaling.
2-wire LED control. No buzzer control. Tamper monitor disabled.
Format 15 - (factory test) mag-stripe data output: verify track 2 data and send track 2 data without formatting using
CLOCK/DATA signaling. Zero trim, reverse read, bad card filter, and tamper monitor enabled.
10. Keypad Data Signaling:
Keypad data is transmitted on the data lines as 8-bit blocks. They are encoded and sent using the same signaling
method as selected for the card data output (clock/data or data 1/data 0). If Dorado 8-bit keypad data format is required
order the -K1 option. Card data, and keypad data blocks are separated by a minimum of 100 milliseconds. See following
for codes:
