2.1 MEASURE READ DISTANCE
To measure the read range between Reader and card, grasp the card by the corner or near the
slot and move the card slowly toward the Reader, with the card surface parallel to the reader,
until a BEEP occurs. The BEEP indicates that the Reader detects and read the card. In order to
read again, the card must be fully withdrawn from the Reader’s field of surveillance and then re-
approached again. During normal operation, the card can be presented at any angle relative to
the Reader, however this will result in slight variation of read range.
Note: Do not "wave" the card in front of the Reader. "Waving" the card in front of
the Reader will result in a diminished read range.
3 PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
3.1 SITE SURVEY
Always conduct a site survey before starting installation, avoid any possible sources of
interference. If the Reader is not installed properly, the performance will be degraded or more
seriously the Reader may be damaged. The following is a list of installation procedures that
should be followed during installation:
Do not install the Reader in an area where sources of broadband noise may exist.
Examples of broadband noise sources are motors, pumps, generators, AC/DC
converters, non-interruptible power supplies, AC switching relays, light dimmers, CRT's,
induction heater, ultrasonic welder etc.
Do not bundle the reader wires together in one conduit with the AC power cables, lock
power, and other signal wiring.
Keep all the Reader wiring at least 12 inches (30 cm) away from all other wiring, which
includes but not limited to, AC power, computer data wiring, telephone wiring and wiring
to electrical locking devices.
Do not install the reader within 12 inches (30 cm) of a computer CRT terminal.
3.2 PREFERRED READER INSTALLATION PRACTICES
Make sure that the supply voltage of the Reader is within specification.
Use cables with over-all shield (Drain).
For best results, run the cable in an individual conduit with at least 12 inches distance
from the AC power, computer data cables and cables for electrical locking devices.
