General purpose diode e.g. 1N4007 should be always connected in parallel and as close as
possible to the door locking device (magnetic lock, electric strike, relay, contactor).
It is required to install readers in minimal distance of 0.5m from each other. If two readers have
to be installed on opposite sides of the same wall, it is recommended not to place them directly
opposite (in the same axis). If this condition cannot be fulfilled then place metal plate between
reader and wall as well as non-metal spacer with 10mm minimal thickness between reader and
metal plate.
Because of relatively low magnetic field readers should not interfere with other devices,
however its operation can be disrupted by devices generating strong electromagnetic field.
If the range of card reading is significantly lower than specified in technical documentation then
consider relocation of the reader.
Readers can be installed on metal surfaces but in such case reduction of reading distance
should be expected. The reading distance reduction effect can be minimized by installing
readers on non-metal spacer with minimal thickness of 10 mm (e.g. PVC).

4.1 Controller address
If controller works autonomously (standalone mode), then address setting can be skipped and
default address ID =00 can be used but if the controller is to be connected with other controllers by
means of RS485 bus and operate in network system, then it is necessary to assign unique address
to such controller (ID number from range 00..99). Two or more devices with the same address
result in communication conflict and make a proper communication with these devices impossible.
Following addressing methods are available:
By means of jumpers
During update of controller firmware by means of Roger ISP software (so called Fixed ID)
Manually during Memory Reset procedure
By means of PR Master software
The first two methods enable configuration of hardware addresses while the remaining two enable
configuration of software addresses. The main difference between these two addressing methods is
such that software address contrary to hardware address can be modified using any of mentioned
methods. Jumper address has the highest priority, Fixed ID has lower priority and software
addresses have the lowest priority.
Note: A new controller can be connected to the existing system without the necessity to change its
address but only if no other controller operates with default address ID=00. Once the controller is
connected to the RS485 communication bus, it should be detected by means of PR Master software
and new address should be configured.
4.1.1 Addressing by means of jumpers
The address of controller can be set by means of jumpers – see fig. 6. Each time the new address
is configured, controller must be restarted (via RESET button or powering device off and on) to
make new settings valid. The address range is 00..127 and if the address is in range 100..127 then
the controller ignores such setting and all other addressing methods can be used. If the address is
in range of 00..99 then it has the highest priority, FixedID is not effective, and the address cannot
be changed by PR Master software nor manually during Memory Reset procedure.
