It may contain hazardous substances that could impact health and the environment. In order to avoid the dissemination of those substances in our environment and to diminish the pressure on the natural resources, we encourage you to use the appropriate take-back systems.
Installation Guide: Access Control Reader Installation Guide: Access Control Reader Controller Module Description Notes The Controller Module provides power, network, inputs and Antenna connections. Power is connected to the 12 pin wiring connector which also provides normally closed (NC) relay inputs and a door contact input. See Table 1. As shown in Figure 1 the Controller Module has a 12 pin and aN RS232 connector.

Installation Guide: Access Control Reader Installation Guide: Access Control Reader Preferred Practices Specifications Mounting location and positioning are very important to this unit’s correct operation. Read and understand the information in “Access Control Reader Location” before you begin the installation. The Access Control Reader (ACR) is a Controller Module and an Antenna joined by a 10 ft. (3 m) cable. The device reads the implantable VeriChip™ microchip.
Installation Guide: Access Control Reader Installation Guide: Access Control Reader Wiegand Figure 3: LF Field Shape and Dimensions In Integrated operation and Network operation, the ACR sends microchip information in standard 26 bit format Wiegand. This is an unacknowledged one-way communication. Third-party software that receives this data must ensure correct reception.
Installation Guide: Access Control Reader Installation Guide: Access Control Reader Antenna Orientation Table 5: Antenna Tuning Record The Antenna is most effective when the long axis of the Antenna is parallel to the long axis of the microchip. Mount the Antenna so that the longest axis is vertical to the floor as shown in Figure 4 This mounting assumes that: The person is standing upright; and, The microchip is inserted with its long axis parallel to the arm.

DC Ammeter 24 VDC Integrated Mode 2 Remove the label on the bulge of the Antenna. Behind the label you will find a small hole that gives access to the tuning DIP switch. 3 Move all the DIP switches to the OFF position as shown in Figure 11.
Installation Guide: Access Control Reader Installation Guide: Access Control Reader 4 Feed the cable connector through the hole first and draw the cable up to the Controller Module. Do not connect the Controller Module at this time. 5 Mount the Antenna to the wall using mounting hardware suitable for the wall material. NOTE: Do Not allow the cable to hang within 4 in. (10.2 cm) of the Antenna back.

See Table 3. Wall Table 3: Controller Module LED and Status Antenna LED Status Slow dim flashing Power on but without network communications Fast bright flashing Power on with network communications Verify ACR operation at the Antenna by observing the Antenna LED and buzzer. See Table 4.
Installation Guide: Access Control Reader Installation Guide: Access Control Reader Mounting the Antenna Inside a Wall 5 Use Table 2 to wire the Controller Module. When the Antenna must be located inside a wall, consider the following: 6 Before closing up the wall, test and confirm correct operation of the ACR. End of Procedure The detection zone will be smaller due to the wall thickness. You may not have a large enough detection zone on both sides of the wall.
