1.3 SUGGESTED APPLICATIONS • Automated vehicle identification for small cars, big trucks and trailers, and railcars. • Operation of vehicle gates and garage doors for authorized vehicles. • Tracking material assets in containers and on pallets. • Hands-free operation of doors and elevator call buttons for handicapped users (wheelchairs, gurneys). • Data collection using encoded cards and tags for input. 2 2.
PAGE 4
If power and data share the same cable, use these specifications – Combined cable: 18 gauge, 5 conductors, stranded wire, color-coded insulation, not twisted pairs, overall 100% shielded, high quality. The maximum allowable length of cable for Wiegand interface is 500 feet. The maximum specified length of the cable for RS-232 interface at 9,600 bits per second is 75 ft; this may be stretched for certain equipment to 500 ft or more using Cat 5 cable. Length of a separate power cable should not exceed 500 ft.

PART A 3 3.1 INSTALLATION PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION STUDY THE APPLICATION • • • • 3.2 Determine what your client wants. Discuss the requirements with AWID’s Technical Support. Visit the site; take photographs; draw diagrams; compare with similar installations. Look for unusual features. Study the Planning sections in this Manual to be sure that all factors have been considered. (See Part B.) Prepare a list of products and materials. Ask AWID’s Technical Support for ideas and review.

4 4.1 TESTING READER AND TAGS BEFORE INSTALLATION INTRODUCTION Careful preparation is important for successful installation of AWID’s long-range readers and credentials. Simple bench-testing gives the installer confidence in the performance of the reader and the credentials, before the products are taken to the site. This testing isolates the reader and credentials from all other factors that contribute to performance of the final assembly. 4.
PAGE 7
4.6 TEST RESULTS • Proper operation of the reader and credential is indicated by a signal from the SP-6820-LR test unit each time that the credential is read. The LED changes briefly from Standby red to green, and a short beep (4 kHz tone) is heard. If the card or tag remains in the reader’s effective RF field, reads repeat at about 3 per second (factory default rate).

5.3 WIRING THE READER (FOR WIEGAND INTERFACE -- Figure 3) 1. The cable between the LR-2000 reader and the controller panel should be (see complete specifications in Section 2.
PAGE 9
6 6.1 INSTALLING THE CREDENTIALS GENERAL RULES 1. The relationship between the reader’s location and aiming, and the location of the credentials (cards or tags) inside or outside the vehicle, is important for good performance. Plan the installation considering these factors before installation starts. 2. Start by testing the LR-2000 reader using the LR-2000KIT’s test unit and the hand-held test credentials, with no vehicle present at the reader.
PAGE 10
3. Test the tag at different locations inside the windshield. Try high and low, several inches from the vehicle’s door pillar, in “portrait” and “landscape” orientation. Avoid embedded wires, metal coating, dark tinting, RF emitting devices. If reading distance is too short, use a different AWID UHF card or tag. 4. Peel the plastic film off the tag. Press the tag’s adhesive flat against the inside of the windshield. This is a one-time application.

PART B 9 9.1 PLANNING APPLICATIONS INTRODUCTION The LR-2000 reader is especially designed for Automated Vehicle Identification (AVI). The chief variables that must be considered in planning the readers and credentials for the system are – • Lane characteristics • Reader location • Vehicle types • Credential characteristics The most important factors in planning a system are listed in Section 3.2. These must be considered carefully when laying out the plan for the installation.
PAGE 13
9.4 LARGE TRUCKS AND BUSES Follow the general suggestions for vehicles in Sections 9.2 and 9.3, regarding the location of the reader mounting (beside the vehicle lane or over the center of the lane). Select the UHF card or tag that performs best in the combination of vehicle lanes, vehicle types, reader locations, and credentials characteristics. See Figure 4 and Figure 5. 9.5 MIXED VEHICLES OF ALL SIZES Use the LR-2000HiLoMA reader set, consisting of a Master Reader and a Remote Antenna.
PAGE 14
10.2 ENVIRONMENT • Physical obstructions: The space where the reader will be mounted and aimed must be clear. • Weather: Provide shielding from direct rainfall (especially for LR-2000HiLoMA) and bright sunlight (especially if the reader is armed continually – yellow and black wires connected together permanently). • RFI: Avoid sources of radio frequency emission that might interfere with the reader. 10.
PAGE 15
10.9 READER MOUNTING • Adjustable bracket: The reader (and remote antenna) must be adjustable for both “pan and tilt” (in camera parlance – that is, horizontal and vertical) for proper aiming. See AWID’s LR-911MB (11 inch long arm, with a two-axis adjustable head). The installer may use a camera bracket effectively.
PAGE 16
10.14 AVOID … • “Toll tag mentality”: If the drivers are used to high-speed tollgates with active tags, they will feel restricted by a long-range reader using passive vehicle tags. Emphasize the desired goal of having the gate at the LR-2000 installation open, by driving at reasonable speed in a reasonable fashion near the reader. Point out the long-life and the low cost of passive cards and tags.
PAGE 17
11.4 POWER SUPPLY  Use an independent power supply, not connected in any way to the controller panel or other system components.  Do not connect other readers and other devices to the LR-2000 reader’s power supply. • Connect only a single LR-2000 reader to a power supply, and no other electrical load – not even a small proximity reader. • Have a different power supply for each LR-2000 reader.
PAGE 18
11.6 WIRING  Wiring an LR-2000 reader is not the same as wiring other reader types. For the Wiegand interface, Data-0 and Data-1 lines are the same, but all other wires are different.  Study the wiring diagram in Figure 3. Compare the actual wiring with this wiring diagram.  The reader must be armed to transmit its RF field. To arm the reader, its yellow wire must be connected to its black wire.
PAGE 19
11.8   11.9  ISOLATION Disconnect everything from the reader, except power. Move the reader to a remote location that has no electrical or RF noise. Use a backup battery (12 volts, 7.5 ampere-hours, fully charged) instead of the DC power supply. Test using the test unit and test tags from AWID’s LR-2000KIT Test & Set-up Kit. • Observe the reader’s performance by itself. Map the reader’s effective RF field by moving the tag slowly, side to side, gradually farther from the reader.
PAGE 20
 Program the host system to configure the data input from the readers. • Enter the code format of the tags (usually “26-bit Wiegand standard”), the tags’ facility code or site code, and (in the cardholders database) the ID number for the UHF tag. • Program your own test tag as an administrator, with top-priority level, access to all doors or gates, for all days and times.
