This Quick Start Guide is intended for experienced installing technicians. It is a basic reference to ensure all connections are properly made.
Installation and wiring of systems must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
1.0 Description
Long-Range Transmitters and Receivers with an integrated receive
antenna comprise Farpointe Data’s high frequency, long-range
identification solution known as Ranger. Intended for security access
control applications, Ranger’s wireless communications are based
upon a secure, digital, anti-playback routine. The two-channel Ranger
Receiver (Channels A & B), model WRR-22, allows Ranger Transmitter
data to be sent over two separate Wiegand outputs. Formatting of the
Wiegand output is dependent upon the data encoded on each
individual Ranger Transmitter.
2.0 Receiver Layout
3.0 Cable Requirements
24 AWG minimum, multi-conductor stranded with an overall foil
shield, for example Belden 9540 or similar. Per the SIA’s Wiegand
specification, maximum cable length is 500 feet (152.4 m).
4.0 Output Formats
Wiegand (industry standard 26-bit Wiegand and custom
Wiegand formats).
5.0 Grounding
Shield (drain) continuity must run from the Receiver to the access
panel. Further, the shield and Receiver ground must be tied together
at the access panel, and must connect to an earth ground at one
point only.
6.0 Power
Power required is 12 VDC nominal at 80 mA. The Receiver may be
powered by the access panel. A linear power supply is recommended
for best operation.
7.0 Mounting
The Receiver may be mounted indoors or outdoors. The enclosure
includes pre-drilled holes in the four corners allowing mounting to a
flat surface. Use supplied #6 mounting screws, or equivalent security
screws, for installation.
8.0 Read Range
Read range is nominally up to 100 feet (30.5 m). For optimal read
range, it is important that the Receiver be mounted as far from
potential interference sources as possible. These sources may include,
but are not limited to, large metal and concrete obstructions, as well
as magnetic fields and radio transmissions. Further range varies based
on the height a Receiver is installed, how a user may hold a
Transmitter when being used, and where the Transmitter is being
used. Read range may vary for each installation.
9.0 External LED Indicator
Refer to the information below for explanation on the Receiver’s
external LED indicator operation:

10.0 6-Pin Terminal Block
Refer to the information below for cabling to the Receiver:
AD0: Button One, Wiegand Data 0, Channel A.
AD1: Button One, Wiegand Data 1, Channel A.
BD0: Button Two, Wiegand Data 0, Channel B.
BD1: Button Two, Wiegand Data 1, Channel B.
GND: Power, 0VDC
+VDC: Power, 12VDC Nominal.
NOTE: Apply positive voltage only to the +VDC Pin
on the Terminal Block.
11.0 Connection
Connection must be done in accordance with NFPA 70. Do not
connect to a receptacle controlled by a switch. Connect to a power
limited DC voltage source.
12.0 Troubleshooting
