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. Shield and reader ground must be tied together at the access panel and
connect then to an earth ground at one point.
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 inter-
ference sources as possible. These sources may include, but are not limited to, large metal obstructions, as well as magnetic fields and radio
transmissions. Note for each installation, read range may vary.
