Mounting the Reader and the Remote Antenna
(See LR-2200 Installation & Operation Manual, Sections 5, 8 and 9)
1.
Fasten the mounting bracket to the pole, post, pedestal, wall or beam. Leave space for the reader unit’s pan-and-tilt adjustment.
2.
Fasten the reader to the bracket with 2 ¼”-20 screws. The LR-MB bracket includes fasteners. With a housing, use longer screws.
3.
Cut off the connector from the reader’s cable. For LR-2200HiLoMA, locate the 6 foot coaxial cable that will connect the 2 units.
4.
Aim the reader (and “HiLo” antenna) toward the location of tags when they are mounted on vehicles, at the “sweet spot” distance.
Wiring the Reader (for Wiegand Interface)
(Study Figure 3 carefully)
1.
Check the power supply and cable(s) for power and data to be certain that they meet AWID’s specifications (“Preparation”, p. 1).
2.
Connect the wires --
yellow
to
black
at the reader;
black
and
red
to the power supply;
green
and
white
and
blue
to the controller.
3.
Connect the reader’s
drain
(bare silver) wire to the shields of all cables.
Do not ground
drain and shield wires – they must float.
4.
Keep the reader’s
orange
wire available for connecting the LR-2200KIT’s test unit. Tape off
violet
and
brown
wires separately.
5.
For LR-2200HiLoMA, screw the coaxial cable’s rings to the brass connectors on the reader and the antenna. Seal the connectors.
6.
Do not tape or seal the wire junctions until the complete system has been tested thoroughly. Keep all junctions accessible for test.
7.
Test the reader (and antenna) using the LR-2000KIT Installation Kit. The hand-held test tags should read on the test unit at 15 ft.

Using Tags and Cards
•
Select a location for the tags that has clear line-of-sight between the tags and the reader. Tags should be about parallel to the face
of the reader at the reading distance (the “sweet spot” - 15 feet). Test the tags with both “landscape” and “portrait” orientation.
VT-UHF Visor Tag
: Clip the tag on the sun visor. At about 15 feet, the driver lowers the visor so the tag faces the reader.
HT-UHF Hangtag
: Hang the tag on the inside rearview mirror’s post. Or hold the tag, by fingertips at its hook, inside the vehicle.
RV-UHF Mirror Tag
: Using the tag’s adhesive, press the tag smoothly on the frame of the inside mirror, facing the reader.
WS-UHF Windshield Tag
: Using the tag’s adhesive, press the tag firmly inside the glass, at least 2 inches from edge of windshield.
MT-UHF Metal-Mount Tag
: Fasten tag outside or inside the vehicle, using screws, pop-rivets, Velcro dots, or the tag’s adhesive.
CS-UHF Clamshell Card
and
GR-UHF Graphics Card
: Hold facing reader with fingers at edges of card. (Read on UA-612 also.)
Programming the System
1.
Complete the LR-2200 reader’s (or “HiLo” master reader’s) interface to the host access control or vehicle identification system.
2.
Program the applications system for the type of reader, and for the tags’ code format, facility (or site) code, and card numbers.
3.
Assign suitable programming for the individual tags in the cardholders’ database – gate groups, time zones, priority levels, etc.
4.
Program the applications for the action to be taken for each valid read – gate motor operation, data recording, reports generation.
Testing the Completed System
1.
Drive a vehicle with a mounted tag into the read range on the lane. Observe the code registered by the system for accuracy.
2.
Test operation of all functions by driving a vehicle with an authorized tag code past the reader and through the gate repeatedly.
3.
Study the PC monitor’s data display for full and correct information about events on the system. Watch for “Access granted”.
4.
Enter the command for a report of events in the system – for individual vehicles in a time period and for history at a single gate.
If a Problem Occurs
1.
Use the LR-2000KIT Installation Kit to measure performance of the reader with hand-held test tags. Isolate the problem.
2.
Study the LR-2200 Installation Manual, Part C – Trouble-Shooting, for an organized way to identify a problem source.
