Antenna Orientation
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.
Controller Module Location Considerations
Place the Controller Module so that it will be out of sight of the facility occupants.
Mount the Controller Module so that the panel with the wiring connector and LED is
accessible during installation.
Ensure that the Controller Module air vents are unobstructed.

Communication Overview
The ACR sends microchip identification numbers through the Wiegand and RS232
ports and communicates via an RS485 network.
RS485
As part of a VeriChip RFID system the ACR sends the microchip identification number
to the Hub and to the application server using VeriChip’s proprietary RS485
communication protocol. The VeriChip RFID system issues commands to the ACR and
other components based upon its inputs and configuration.
