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:

LED State

Description

Green

Initial power up

Amber

Normal powered on state

Flash Green

An activated Transmitter button press has  
been received and processed

Flash Red

A non-activated Transmitter button press  
has been detected

Off

Receiver is not powered on, or failed to  
power up successfully

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

Possible Cause

Corrective Action

No data received/Transmitter 
not enrolled

Transmitter must be clicked twice 
to be learned by the Receiver upon 
initial Receiver power up
