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.

4 Apply power to the ACR.
5 Notice the current measured by the ammeter. Values may range from 50 mA to
360 mA.
6 Start at the right hand #4 DIP switch. Turn it ON and OFF and record the position
which caused the greatest current and the ammeter reading. Continue to test all
the combinations of switch positions. Table 5, following, has been provided for you
to record your measurements.
7 Select the switch combination that causes the greatest current.
8 If two settings produce the same values, use either setting.

detection zone is large enough, replace the label covering the tuning DIP switch.
If, after tuning the Antenna, the ACR detection zone is still not adequate, you must
consider modifying the current location; or, selecting another location for the ACR.
Modifying the current location could include:
 Moving the Antenna cable further from the Antenna.
 Removing any metallic objects near the Antenna.
If you move the Antenna to another location, you may need to retune the Antenna.

All three communication channels are active in Network mode. This allows the ACR to
output microchip identification numbers to third party systems through both the
RS232 and Wiegand ports while continuing to function as part of the VeriGuard
security system on the RS485 network.
In network operation, the ACR is configured through the VeriChip application.
Integrated Mode
When operated in Integrated Mode the ACR can automatically monitor a single access
point. When the ACR reads a VeriChip implantable microchip, it transmits the
microchip identification through the RS-232 and Wiegand ports.
Selecting the operating mode is the first step of the installation procedure below.
Installation
Installation of the ACR consists of several steps. The first step is to select the operating
mode.
Selecting Integrated or Network Mode
The operating mode can be selected using two jumpers: J4 and J5. Both jumpers are
found in the middle of the Controller Module circuit board. Both jumpers have two
pins and a single jumper which can be used to connect the pins.
 To select Integrated Mode or Network Mode:
1 Open the Controller Module by removing the four screws in the top of the case.
Locate the jumpers.
2To select Integrated Mode: Connect both J4 and J5 with jumpers.
3To select Network Mode: Remove the jumpers from J4 and J5. Store the jumpers
by placing them on only one pin of each pair.
End of Procedure
4 Close the Controller Module.
Surface Mounting on a Wall
 To mount the ACR to a wall surface:
1 Once you have chosen a location for the Antenna, use the supplied mounting
template to mark the location of the four mounting holes and one cable entry
hole.
2 Drill the appropriate size holes for #8 screws (4.17 mm) and suitable mounting
hardware for the wall material.
3 Drill the appropriately sized hole for the Antenna cable.
