Only authorized TransCore Encompass 4 Reader
dealers, installers, or service personnel should attempt
to install Encompass 4 Readers. Once the system is
set up and tested by the authorized installer,
Encompass 4 Reader operation requires no end-user
intervention.
Start with Site Design
You should develop your site plan BEFORE applying for FCC approval, ordering
equipment, and installing the Encompass 4 Reader. Factors to be considered
include tag type, reader and tag alignment, reader mounting requirements, site
layout and traffic flow, and electrical and communications requirements. If your
site configuration differs significantly from the recommendations below, contact
your TransCore sales representative. Reader/tag choice and site planning is
discussed in detail in the
Encompass
®
4 Reader System Guide .
Determining Right Reader and Tag Combination
What type of tags are you going to read? If eGo
®
Plus, eGo, ATA, Interagency
Group (IAG), or combinations of two protocols, then the Encompass 4 is the
correct reader to use.
How are the tags formatted? Are they ASCII (full or half-frame) or Wiegand tag
format? If Wiegand, then is it 26, 37, 54, or other bit configuration? This will
determine the tag read mode for your reader.
If an external antenna is required for increased signal strength, you should use the
Encompass 4.

Reader Placement
Encompass 4 Readers may be mounted on a pole at the side of the lane (side fire)
or mounted on a gantry or surface extending over the center of the lane
(overhead). You must position the Encompass 4 Reader, which contains an
internal antenna, or the antenna for the Encompass 4, so that the RF signal can
travel to and return from the tags within the desired read area or “footprint.” Locate
