| Blinks green every 1 s | Idle. No OSDP communication |
| Blinks green every 50 ms on every OSDP response transmission | Normal OSDP communication |
| Red | Casing tamper or Wiegand reader tamper is active |
| Green | Idle when the control button is pressed for less than 15 s |
| Blinks red/green every 250 ms | Flashing device software |
| Blinks green every 100 ms | Restore to factory default when the control button is pressed for more than 15 s (*) |
| Blinks red every 100 ms | Erase the device software when the control button is pressed for more than 60 s (*) |
| Wiegand LED | Indication |
| Green (On for 50 ms) | Wiegand data received |
| Green (On for 1s) | Enter or exit the configuration mode (*) |
| Blinks green every 250 ms | In the configuration mode (*) |
| Red | Wiegand output over current error |
(*) See Control button.

Connectors
OSDP connector
One 4-pin terminal block to connect to the OSDP reader.
| Function | Pin | Note | Specifications |
| DC ground (GND) | 1 | 0 V DC | |
| DC input (+12 V) | 2 | Supplies power to unit | 12 V DC, max 440 mA |
| A | 3 | Half duplex | RS485 |
| B | 4 | Half duplex | RS485 |
For more information, see electrical wiring drawings.
Wiegand connector
One 8-pin terminal block to connect to the Wiegand reader.
| Function | Pin | Note | Specifications |
| DC ground (GND) | 1 | 0 V DC | |
| DC output (+12 V) | 2 | Supplies power to reader. (Pass through from OSDP DC input) | 12 V DC, max 440 mA |
| D0 | 3 | Wiegand data | 0 to max 30 V DC |
| D1 | 4 | Wiegand data | 0 to max 30 V DC |
| LED 1 | 5 | Digital output | 0 to max 30 V DC, open drain, 100 mA |
| LED 2 | 6 | Digital output | 0 to max 30 V DC, open drain, 100 mA |
| TAMPER | 7 | Digital input or supervised input — Connect to pin 1 to activate, or leave floating (unconnected) to deactivate. To use supervised input, install end-of-line resistors. See connection diagram for information about how to connect the resistors. See Supervised inputs. | 0 to max 30 V DC |
| BUZZER | 8 | Digital output | 0 to max 30 V DC, open drain, 100 mA |
For more information, see electrical wiring drawings.
Wiegand data isn’t encrypted. To reduce security risk, install the Wiegand reader as close as possible to AXIS TA1101-B when using OSDP Secure Channel.
Supervised inputs
To use supervised inputs, install end of line resistors according to the diagram below.
Serial first connection
The resistor values must be 1 kΩ.
It is recommended to use twisted and shielded cables. Connect shielding to 0 V DC.
DIP switch connector
6-pin terminal block. The default position of the DIP switches is OFF.

Troubleshooting
Reset to factory default settings
Disconnect power from the product.
Press and hold the control button while reconnecting power. See Product overview.
Keep the control button pressed for 15 seconds. See LED indicators.
Release the control button. The process is complete when the status LED indicator turns green. The product has been reset to the factory default settings.
Configuration mode
To enter the configuration mode, press the control button for more than 10 seconds until the Wiegand LED turns green for one second. See LED indicators. For how to configure supervised inputs, see Supervised inputs.
- During the configuration mode:
Click the control button once to exit the configuration mode.
Click the control button twice to configure IO5 as digital.
Click the control button three times to configure IO5 as analog for supervised tamper.
Click the control button four times to configure the supervised open collector circuit.
Click the control button five times to configure the supervised switch circuit.
Upgrade the device software
- Preconfigured and customized settings are saved when you upgrade the device software (provided that the features are available in the new version) although this is not guaranteed by Axis Communications AB.
- Make sure the device remains connected to the power source throughout the upgrade process.
- Make sure you have an OSDP reader configured in your access control management system.
