4.3. Setting the Reader Identity
4.3.1. Reader Number Programming
Switch S2 programs the 'units value' and S3 programs the 'tens value'. Set the required values
before applying power to the reader. Should the reader number need to be changed, select the
new number then depress the reset switch (S15); the new number will be read by the reader
software.
Notes
(1) The reader number is only reported via the RS-232 data port; it is not reported
via the Wiegand data port.
(2) It is possible to set as many Readers as required to the same reader number.
4.3.2. Sub-system Code Programming
This facility is normally only used where more than one Static Asset tag system is used at the
same location; it provides 'isolation' between adjacent systems and prevents Static tag on one
system being read spuriously by the other system.
Four sub-system codes are available and they are set via switches S2/3 on the underside of
the Static tag.
Switch 1 - On/Off
Switch 2/3 - Sub-System Code
Switch 4 - Hourly Routine Report

OCATIONS
The code setting on the reader
(switch S13 poles 3/4) must match the setting chosen for the Static tags belonging to that
system. Note that PS-SAT1-1 switch 2 corresponds with reader switch S13/4, and PS-SAT1-1
switch 3 with reader switch S13/3.
Notes
(1) Sub-system code programming applies only to Static tags.
(2) Portable Asset tags are equipped with the same switch block but
switches 2/3 are non functional.
(3) Portable Asset tags will also give hourly routine reports if switch 4 is
turned ON.
(4) If an asset tag is moved or tampered with the next routine report will
be about an hour later. In other words the internal 1-hour timer inside
the tag is reset every time the tag transmits.
