12 GE Contactless Medium Read-Range Reader Model 260
Installation: Model 260 on Metal
The GE Model 260 reader can be field-tuned to accommodate installation
on or near metal surfaces. To accomplish this, perform the following
steps:
1. Remove the front cover.
2. Mount reader back-plate assembly.
3. Terminate the communications cable at the microcontroller using the
wiring diagram in Figure 9, “GE Model 260 Reader Wiring Diagram
to Micro/5 8RP,” on page 16 or Figure 11, “GE Model 260 Reader to
2RP,” on page 18.
4. Terminate the communications cable at the reader using the wiring
diagrams in Figure 10, Figure 11, Figure 12, or Figure 13.
5. Wall-type selection switch. Set the two-position slide switch to match
the wall surface.
6. Connect the communications cable to power up the reader.
IMPORTANT
: Within three seconds, you must press the Tune
button or the reader will go into tamper operation (red LED flashes).
You will be unable to tune the reader in this condition. If this occurs,
remove, then reconnect the communications cable.
7. Press the Tune button and release when the reader beeps.
8. Tune the Trim POT until the green LED flashes.
• If the yellow LED flashes, turn RIGHT.
• If the red LED flashes, turn LEFT.
Note : The green LED flashes for approximately six minutes. You can
stop the flashing by pressing the Tune button. The yellow LED will
be on. The reader will shift into reader-tamper operation (red LED
flashes).
9. Install the reader cover.
10. The red LED will stop flashing after approximately 30 seconds.
The Model 260 is now tuned and set for optimal read-range for its
environment.
If new metal components are introduced into the read-range field, you
may need to re-tune the reader. Follow the tuning process steps above.
