AUTOTAG-P BASE-STATION (ATR430P Series) INSTALLATION GUIDEThis guide covers the following units:ATR431P 115V AC Base-Station UnitATR432P 230V AC Base-Station UnitATR434P 12-24V DC Base-Station Unit1. EQUIPMENT REQUIRED3mm Allen key M4 x 20mm machine screws Power cable3mm flat screwdriver M4 nuts Screened Communications CableSide-cutters M4 washers (wide)2. GENERAL DESCRIPTIONThe base-station is a robust, weatherproof device capable of being mounted outdoors andwithstanding wide temperature / humidity ranges (-40°C to +70°C, 0 - 98% RH). The casing isconstructed of an ABS plastic, which is impact- and UV-resistant. O-ring seals areincorporated to ensure minimal ingress of water and dust. (Cable access is via knockouts inthe base.) Access to the electronics is via screws hidden behind clip-in panels on the frontcover.The unit may be either wall, pole or gantry mounted. It must be positioned so that it ‘looks into’the vehicle.Figure 1.

3. MOUNTINGWall mounting:Wall mounting is possible when the wall is within the specified range of the furthest side of thevehicles to be monitored. The presence of metal re-inforcing in the wall has negligible effect onthe operation of the base-station.1. Determine the area in which the unit must detect. The base-station unit should be placedfacing the middle of this area (Figure 1)2. Unclip the two screw covers. Remove screws and front cover.3. Knockouts are provided on the base. Remove the appropriate knockouts, including that ofthe cable access hole.4. Route power and communications cables through the cable access hole.5. Bolt base to wall via knockouts.6. Connect cables according to wiring diagram (see Section 3).7. Before applying power: Set the DIP switches according to the type of installation required.If the ‘triggered’ setting is to be used, ensure the arming input is connected and that thetrigger system (e.g. loop detector) is functioning.8. Apply power. The RED LED should be illuminated.9. Holding a tag in front of the unit should cause the GREEN LED to flash and a beep to beheard. This indicates that the base-station is receiving code from the tag.NB:The PCB does NOT need to be unscrewed from the front cover at any point. Doing so willresult in the warranty being voided.Pole or gantry mounting:1. When mounting on a pole, ensure that the flange has a minimum diameter of 120 mm2. A hole in the centre of the flange with min. diameter of 30 mm will allow for hidden cableaccess.3. Ensure that the unit faces the window area of the vehicles to be monitored.4. Mounting instructions are the same as for the above.6.

If there is more than one Base-Station in proximity to another, it is notdesirable for multiple Base-Stations to read the same tag. The ID’s of thebase stations must be set to different values. The ID’s are set with dip-switchSW1, allowance has been made for 16 different ID’s.Dip Switch 1 Configuration SW1:Address/ID SW1-5 SW1-4 SW1-3 SW1-2 SW1-10ON ON ON ON ON1ON ON ON ON OFF2ON ON ON OFF ON3ON ON ON OFF OFF4ON ON OFF ON ON5ON ON OFF ON OFF6ON ON OFF OFF ON7ON ON OFF OFF OFF8ON OFF ON ON ON9ON OFF ON ON OFF10 ON OFF ON OFF ON11 ON OFF ON OFF OFF12 ON OFF OFF ON ON13 ON OFF OFF ON OFF14 ON OFF OFF OFF ON15 ON OFF OFF OFF OFF16 OFF ON ON ON ON17 OFF ON ON ON OFF18 OFF ON ON OFF ON19 OFF ON ON OFF OFF20 OFF ON OFF ON ON21 OFF ON OFF ON OFF22 OFF ON OFF OFF ON23 OFF ON OFF OFF OFF24 OFF OFF ON ON ON25 OFF OFF ON ON OFF26 OFF OFF ON OFF ON27 OFF OFF ON OFF OFF28 OFF OFF OFF ON ON29 OFF OFF OFF ON OFF30 OFF OFF OFF OFF ON31 OFF OFF OFF OFF OFFFurther literature on Autotag:Autotag-P User Manual708UM0210Autotag-P Tag Installation Guide708LF0210Autotag-P Data Sheet708DS0210Autotag-P Programming Station User Manual708UM02014.

Ensure that switch SW2-3 is ON.Clock & Data:Connect the following lines: CN7 Pin 4 (Clock), CN7 Pin 3 (Data), CN7 Pin 2 (CardPresent) and CN5 Pin 1 (GND) to the corres-ponding terminals of the controller.Ensure that SW2-3 is OFF.RS232: This feature is only available on the RS232 model. Connect CN7 Pin 5 (RS232 TX)to the receive pin of the controller. Connect CN7 Pin 6 (RS232 RX) to the transmitpin of the controller. Connect CN5 Pin 1 (GND) to the signal GND Pin of thecontroller.RS485: This feature is only available on the RS485 model. Connect the following lines:CN7 Pin 6 (RS485 A), CN7 Pin 5 (RS485 B) and CN5 Pin 1 (GND) to thecorresponding terminals of the controller. Ensure that each base station has aunique address by setting switches SW1-1 through SW1-5.Connecting the Base-station to a triggering device:This is done when the Base-station is to operate in ‘Triggered’ mode. A vehicle detectorpositioned directly in front of the Base-station unit is used to trigger operation.The vehicle detector can be a loop detector, capacitive detector or any other unit capable ofproviding a CONTINUOUS relay closure whilst a vehicle is present. In the case of a loop detectorthis requires that the unit is configured for PERMANENT PRESENCE.Connect CN7 Pin 1to the N/O relay output of the triggering device, and CN5 Pin 6 to the RELAYCOMMON connection.Operating multiple Base-Stations in proximity to one another:When two or more Base-Station units are operated in proximity to one another they may causemutual interference if not synchronised. Synchronisation ensures that their transmissions do notinterfere with one another. To synchronise the units, connect the SYNC lines (CN5 Pin 6) andGND (CN5 Pin 1) on the 6-pin power connectors to the corresponding pins on all units (i.e. Pin 6to Pin 6, Pin 1 to Pin 1).708LF0211-01 October 1999Autotag-P Base-Station Installation Leaflet Page 4 of 8 708LF0211-01 October 1999 Autotag-P Base-Station Installation Leaflet Page 5 of 8
