Instructions LR-911, Part 2 14 September 2005 Page 6 of 8
D. TESTING THE INSTALLATION – OFFLINE
At any time after AWID’s long-range products have been installed on the system, the LR-911 readers
may be tested independently of the host system, using the LRIN installation kit. This allows the installer
to isolate the reader and tags from other aspects of the installation.
a. Disconnect the LR-911 reader from the cable that connects it to the controller panel.
b. Temporarily connect the SP-6820-LR test unit and the PS12-1A power module (or a back-up
battery) to the reader’s wires, as in Section B, Pre-Installation Testing
(page 3) and Figure 1 (page 7).
c. Test operation of the reader using hand-held GMWS and MT tags. If these tests are good …
d. Test operation of the reader using the tags that are mounted on the vehicles.
e. Use the results of these tests to identify any problem in the system.
E. TESTING THE READER AND TAGS – SERIAL INTERFACE TO PC
The LR-911 reader has wires for both serial interface by RS-232, and Wiegand interface. The reader
transmits data on both interfaces simultaneously. Reader data output can be checked using the serial
adapter cable in the LRIN installation kit. For this test, the reader’s Wiegand Data-0 and Data-1 wires
may be either connected or disconnected. Several test modes are available (see paragraphs 1 and 2 below).
Æ See the wiring diagram, Figure 3, and notes (on page 7).
1. Microsoft Windows HyperTerminal
a. Attach the 9-pin “D” connector on the adapter cable to the PC’s serial input port.
b. Connect the spring clips on the adapter cable to the wires on the LR-911 reader –
Orange to Violet, Blue to Blue, and Violet to Orange.
c. Run HyperTerminal on the PC. The path in Microsoft Windows is:
Start Æ Programs Æ Accessories Æ Communications Æ HyperTerminal Æ Hypertrm.exe.
Configuration: 9,600 bits per second, 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, ASCII emulation.
d. The tag’s code is listed on the monitor as a string of ASCII characters (not the Wiegand-formated
code that is printed on the tag’s label).
2. AWID’s Demonstration/Test Software
Follow the instructions for the “Reader Output Demonstration and Timing Setup Program”,
which is available upon request from AWID as a DOC file attached to e-mail.
F. TESTING THE INSTALLATION – ONLINE
While the LR-911 reader is connected to the controller panel, and while the host system is operating,
the installer may observe operation of the LR-911 reader at the reader by connecting the SP-6820-LR
test unit to the reader’s wires, as in Section B, Pre-Installation Testing (pages 3 and 7). This is helpful
if the host system is at a distance from the reader.
