3.1 Measuring Read Distance
To measure the read range between Reader and card, grasp the card by the corner or near the
slot and move the card slowly toward the Reader, with the card surface parallel to the Reader,
until a BEEP occurs. The BEEP indicates that the Reader detects and reads the card. In order
to read again, the card must be fully withdrawn from the Reader’s read field and then re-
approached again. During normal operation, the card can be presented at any angle relative to
the Reader, however this will result in slight variation of read range.
Note: Do not "waved" the card in front of the Reader. "Waving" the card in front of the
Reader will cause diminishing read range.
NOTE: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION GUIDE MAY RESULT IN POOR
PERFORMANCE OR EVEN CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE READER.
THUS, VOIDING THE PRODUCT WARRANTY.
4.0 PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
4.1 Site Survey:
Always conduct a site survey before starting installation, avoid any possible sources of
interference. If the Reader is not installed properly, the performance will be degraded or more
seriously the Reader may be damaged. The following is a list of installation procedures that
should be followed during installation:
• Do not install the Reader in the vicinity where sources of broadband noise may exist.
Examples of broadband noise sources are motors, pumps, generators, DC-AC or AC-DC
converters, non-interruptible power supplies, AC switching relays, light dimmers, CRT's,
induction heater etc.
• Do not let the Reader wiring bundle together in one conduit with the AC power cables,
lock power, and other signal wiring.
