ROUBLESHOOTING
7.1 Reader Reset
Switch S15 provides a reader reset and should be used, by pressing it for 1-2 seconds, only if
the reader appears to have “hung up”; symptoms may include
(1) Corrupt or no data output.
(2) No scan response to the RAT.
(3) Irregular LED status.
7.2 No response when Tags are activated
Check that the logic PCB is properly plugged into the baseboard PCB. Check that you have
not set the range too short; if tags operate when in tamper only this would verify this. Note
that Demonstration units use the site code 63 and will only read tags with the same site code.
