AUTOTAG-P BASE-STATION (ATR430P Series) INSTALLATION GUIDE
This guide covers the following units:
ATR431P 115V AC Base-Station Unit
ATR432P 230V AC Base-Station Unit
ATR434P 12-24V DC Base-Station Unit
1. EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
3mm Allen key M4 x 20mm machine screws Power cable
3mm flat screwdriver M4 nuts Screened Communications Cable
Side-cutters M4 washers (wide)
2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The base-station is a robust, weatherproof device capable of being mounted outdoors and
withstanding wide temperature / humidity ranges (-40°C to +70°
C, 0 - 98% RH). The casing is
constructed of an ABS plastic, which is impact- and UV-resistant. O-ring seals are
incorporated to ensure minimal ingress of water and dust. (Cable access is via knockouts
in
the base.) Access to the electronics is via screws hidden behind clip-in panels on the front
cover.
The unit may
be either wall, pole or gantry mounted. It must be positioned so that it ‘looks into’
the vehicle.

3. MOUNTING
Wall mounting:
Wall mounting is possible when the wall is within the specified range of the furthest side of the
vehicles to be monitored. The presence of metal re-inforcing in the wall has negligible effect on
the operation of the base-station.
1.
Determine the area in which the unit must detect. The base-station unit should be placed
facing 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 of
the 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 the
trigger 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 be
heard. 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 will
result 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 mm
2.
A hole in the centre of the flange with min. diameter of 30 mm will allow for hidden cable
access.
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.

Changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved by
Nortech International (Pty) Ltd, in writing, could void the user’s authority
to operate the product.
If there is more than one Base-Station in proximity to another, it is not
desirable for multiple Base-Stations to read the same tag. The ID’s of the
base stations must be set to different values. The ID’s are set with
dip-switch
SW1, allowance has been made for 16 different ID’s.

Note:Any additional wires used for GROUND connections should be connected to CN5 Pin 1.
Connecting the Base-station to a controller:
Wiegand:
Connect the following lines: CN7 Pin 4 (DATA0), CN7 Pin 3 (DATA1) and CN5 Pin
1 (GND) to the corresponding terminals on the controller. Ensure that switch SW2-
3 is ON.
Clock & Data:
Connect the following lines: CN7 Pin 4 (Clock), CN7 Pin 3 (Data), CN7 Pin 2 (Card
Present) 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 m
odel. Connect CN7 Pin 5 (RS232 TX)
to the receive pin of the controller. Connect CN7 Pin 6 (RS232 RX) to the transmit
pin of the controller. Connect CN5 Pin 1 (GND) to the signal GND Pin of the
controller.
RS485: This feature is only available on the R
S485 model. Connect the following lines:
CN7 Pin 6 (RS485 A), CN7 Pin 5 (RS485 B) and CN5 Pin 1 (GND) to the
corresponding terminals of the controller. Ensure that each base station has a
unique 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 detector
positioned 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 of
providing a CONTINUOUS
relay closure whilst a vehicle is present. In the case of a loop detector
this 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 RELAY
COMMON 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 cause
mutual interference if not synchronised. Synchronisation ensures that their transmissions do not
interfere with one another. To synchronise the units, connect the SYNC lines (CN5 Pin 6) and
GND (CN5 Pin 1) on the 6-pin power connectors to the corresponding pins on all units (i.e. Pin 6
to Pin 6, Pin 1 to Pin 1).
