comply with the limits for a class A computing

device in accordance with the specifications in the

European standard EN55022. These limits are

designed to provide reasonable protection against

harmful interference. This equipment generates,

uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and

if not installed and used in accordance with the

instructions may cause harmful interference to

radio or television reception. However, there is no

guarantee that harmful interference will not occur

in a particular installation. If this equipment does

cause interference to radio or television reception,

which can be determined by turning the equipment

on and off, the user is encouraged to correct the

interference with one or more of the following

measures (a) Reorient or relocate the receiving

antenna. (b) Increase the separation between the

equipment and the receiver. (c) Connect the

equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from

that to which the receiver is connected. (d) Consult

the supplier or an experienced radio / TV

technician for help.

FCC Compliance Statement (United States)

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate

radio frequency energy and if not installed and

used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the

manufacturer’s instructions, may cause

interference to radio communication. It has been

tested and found to comply with the limits for a

class A computing device in accordance with the

specifications in Subpart J of part 15 of FCC rules,

which are designed to provide reasonable

protection against such interference when the

equipment is operated in a commercial

environment. Operation of this equipment in a

residential area may cause interference, in which

case the user at his own expense will be required

to take whatever measures may be necessary to

correct the interference. Changes or modifications

not expressly approved by the manufacturer could

void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

1. Overview

The Access BGR135 is a compact Boarding Gate Reader for 2D Bar Coded Boarding Passes and NFC

device. The BGR135 features

 Fixed focal length, regardless of bar code size. The operator does not have to find the optimum

reading position.

 Omni-directional reading. The bar code may be inserted at any angle.

 Wide document throat. The imager can read a bar code printed at any position on an A4 (European)

or Letter (American) document.

 Programmable visible and audible indication give an easy “go / no-go” indication to the operator.

 Robust unit with a small footprint, which may be easily secured to the check-in desk using the

optional quick-release bracket (see section 4.2)

 Compatible with dedicated airline and common-user departure control systems.

Highly visible red/green LEDs

and audible alarm provide positive

read confirmation to the agent.

VFD display can be easily read

over a wide range of angles, and

in bright ambient lighting conditions.

Wide document throat facilitates

reading of barcode at any position

on an A4 document.

Omni-directional and fixed-focus

design allows easy and instant

reading of linear and 2D bar codes

regardless of size and orientation.

Wide reception area reads NFC cards

and phones quickly and easily.

Can read barcodes from most mobile phones or PDAs.

Can read linear barcodes of up to 80mm presented

At any angle. It may be possible to read longer

linear barcodes up to a maximum of approximately

90mm by presenting them at an angle as shown.

2.2 Bi-colour LEDs

A green LED of programmable duration is illuminated in response to a message from the host

computer indicating that a valid boarding pass has been accepted.

A red LED of programmable duration is illuminated in response to a host message indicating that

the boarding pass was invalid.

2.3 Internal Sounder

The BGR135 contains a sounder whose pitch and duration can be programmed for “accept” and

“reject”, and which may be addressed by the host computer.

2.4 Display

The BGR135 contains a 2 line x 16 character VFD display, which may be addressed by the host

computer.

3. Data Format Protocol

The BGR135 will normally be delivered factory-configured to work within the common use or shared

environment specified by the customer. It has been certified by SITA, ARINC, Ultra and RESA, and

complies with AEA2009 specifications, including 2D symbologies and headers.

For non-common use or shared applications, or for assistance with changing the host protocol,

please contact Access sales department on +44 118 966 3333 or email sales@access-is.com.

4. Installation

4.1 BGR Connection

The BGR135 connects by means of an RJ-50 10-pin

modular socket on the back of the unit.

To connect the BGR135 cable, push the connector

into the host socket until you hear a click. The host

socket is clearly marked as can be located closest to

the power switch.

To remove the cable the connecting lug must be

depressed while the cable is gently pulled to

disconnect it.

The BGR135 is supplied with the following accessories

5KBD172102 Serial and Power Cable

PSU12V2A Universal AC Power Supply

These are connected as depicted below

The BGR135 features a RJ45 port for receipt printing functionality as well as an on/off switch. Both

are located to the rear base of the unit – see attached illustration.

4.2 BGR Configuration

The BGR135 serial port configuration, including the host protocol, may be achieved in either of the

following ways

1/ Using the Access “ZippyTools” utility.

2/ Using a configuration barcode provided by Access.

To read a bar coded boarding pass,

place the document face-up into the bar

code reader zone. As soon as a

document is detected, the bar code

reader’s LEDs will illuminate the

document (a bar code on a mobile

phone or PDA will be automatically

illuminated at a lower level than a bar

code on a paper document).

The bar code imager is omni-

directional, and a well-printed document

should be read almost immediately.

Better read performance will be

achieved if the document is held flat on

the surface under the bar code reader.

The boarding application will determine

if the document is valid, and a message

will be sent to the operator message

display. Either the green LED (OK to

Board) or the red LED (Do Not Board)

will be illuminated.

5. Operation

5.1 Barcode Reading

Limited maintenance of the BGR135 is

required as essentially the unit is free

from moving parts and the glass

window is protected.

General, monthly cleaning of the sensor

window and imager window (underside

of unit) is recommended to remove any

dust and build up of debris.
