What is a long range reader?

A long range reader can read EM4100 hands free tokens up to a maximum of 5 metres. The system comprises

of a long range reader with an integral hands free interface and hands free tokens (keycard or keyfob).

The system operates by using the eld being transmitted by the reader to wake up the token which then

communicates with the interface.

Standard EM4100 tokens/keyfobs can be used with this reader but at their normal read range.

Hands free tokens also include a standard proximity ID chip and can therefore be presented to any EM4100

proximity reader whether they are using the hands free interface or not.

LED indications

The unit has a single high intensity LED array that displays RED or GREEN indications.

Steady RED - Waiting for card ( IDLE state )

Flashing GREEN - Access Granted ( or held unlocked )

Flashing RED - User Access Denied

If an error condition exists ( ACU powered off, Cable break, etc ) the LED will show a steady RED indication.

Positioning readers Readers should not be positioned so that their active fields overlap. (see table on back page for typical hands free read ranges) For maximum read range the hands free reader field should not be overlapped by the field from other interference sources at or around 125 kHz. These include Loop readers, OEM readers, etc. For optimum keyfob battery life please choose your reader location carefully to avoid placing it within hands free range of work stations, rest or smoking areas.

A data cable must be run from the control unit to the reader interface. The recommended cable for this is Belden 9540; a 10 core overall screened cable with a maximum length of 100 metres. Spare cores should be used to double up on the power wires (Red/Black) to the interface. The reader requires a higher current (up to 1A) than can be supplied by the ACU reader port and so an independent 12V DC power feed must be provided.

Changing frequency channel If you are experiencing problems with the range or reliability this may be due to poor reader positioning, adjacent interfering 125 kHz or 2.4 GHz equipment, e.g. an adjacent wireless PC network. Please refer to the ‘Before you install’ information regarding unit locations. If you are still unable to improve the system performance then you may try an alternative 2.4 GHz channel using Switch 1. Power cycle the unit after any changes. The system has 16 channels available.

Using an entry confirmation button Where two door readers may pick up the same hands free token, a push to make button can be used to confirm an entry request for the specific door. Where fitted, the button LED will flash for 5 seconds after the hands free token has been recognised and must be pressed to unlock the door. To enable the use of an entry confirmation button do the following steps: 1. Power down the interface board 2. Power up the interface board 3.
