Installation Guide: Proximity Tag Reader Installation Guide: Proximity Tag ReaderFunctional DescriptionThe Proximity Tag Reader (PTR) is a medium range RFID tag reader. The PTR can beused to: Determine if a Tag is in a specific place; or, Record the passage of Tags through a doorway or other restricted point.Figure 1: Proximity Tag ReaderThe PTR is mounted to a flat surface using a backplate. The PTR is housed in an attractive case that is without exterior adjustments. To makewiring connections and adjustments, you must dismount and open the case.The only required wire connections are for power. An optional wire connection isavailable as a dry contact input to trigger the Low Frequency (LF) field in StandbyMode.Preferred PracticesWhen installing the PTR:Record the PTR serial number and location.To save time, temporarily mount the PTR in its final location and then set LF fieldstrength, address, and operating mode. After these operations are complete,permanently mount the PTR.Top ViewExterior LEDsMounting EarMounting EarBottom ViewMounting EarMounting EarWire AccessPage 3 981-000300-000 R1.00 (Draft)105   106   107   108  109   110  111  112 113  114  115  116  117 118  119  120 121  122  123  124 125  126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 Table 5: (Continued) Address Switch AddressABCDEFGH140 141 142 143  144 145  146 147 148 149 150 151   152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159  160 161  162  163  164  165  166  167   168 169  170 171 172 173 174 Table 5: (Continued) Address Switch AddressABCDEFGH

(1.5 m). As a result, mount the PTRvery close to the tag detection location. For example, to detect a tag worn by someonein a bed, wall mount the PTR at the head of the bed.The PTR case was designed to make options and adjustments user-inaccessible. Unlikeother RFID devices, the PTR is designed for mounting in locations visible to the facilityoccupants.Setting LF Field StrengthVarying the LF field strength changes the size of the Tag detection zone.Use Test Mode to set the LF Field Strength. Test Mode provides an audible beep; and,disables network messaging.Tools: You will need a VeriChip RFID Tag and a small common screwdriver. To adjust the LF field strength:1 Choose the PTR’s final mounting location.2 Use the backplate to mark the wall. 3 Drill mounting holes in the wall.4 Remove the PTR cover.

This sets the PTR to Test Mode.Figure 3: Mode Switches set in Test Mode6 Temporarily mount the PTR in its final location and connect power as in Figure 4.Figure 4: Power Wiring7 Turn the LF field adjustment fully counter-clockwise. Do not turn the adjustment forcefully to its limits. Do not needlessly wiggle or turn the adjustment. 8 Walk the tag to the detection area perimeter. Slowly turn the field adjustment slightly clockwise. Stop turning when the red LED begins to blink. 9 Walk the Tag throughout the detection area to make sure that the LF field is consistent throughout the area. If the LF field is inconsistent, turn the field adjustment slightly counter-clockwise.10 If you have increased the LF field strength, repeat Step 8 to ensure that the field does not extend beyond the detection area.Mode Switchesset to 0,0,0.OPTIONSMode SwitchesA B C D E F G HON1 2 3 4 5 6 7 80 0 0ON = 1OFF = 0+ 12 VDCGroundInputGroundInputs are describedunder “Standby Mode”on Page 8.Page 5 981-000300-000 R1.00 (Draft)AppendixFigure 9: Address DIP Switch (Repeated for your convenience.)In Table 5, the left hand column containsthe address.

Addresses are enteredin binary format using the Address Dip Switch. The PTR can accept addresses rangingfrom 0 to 255.The least significant bit of the binary address is on the right hand side of the AddressDIP Switch.

For example, setting the Mode Switches to 1, 1, 0 or 1,1,1 will cause an error.The EOL input is not returning the correct measured value. This could be treated as a tamper alarm. If it is not a tamper alarm, then correct the EOL resistor value or move DIP Switch B to off.The main supply voltage is low. If the PTR can still function with the low supplyvoltage the device will continue to report tags while in the error state. If thevoltage supply is so low that the PTR cannot function, it will enter the Low PowerMode which is described in the preceding text.In each of the three error states, the PTR transmits a network message that indicateswhich of the three causes is responsible.Page 12 981-000300-000 R1.00 (Draft)
Installation Guide: Proximity Tag Reader Installation Guide: Proximity Tag ReaderVerifying OperationVerify the operation of the PTR by observing the two LEDs. During Test Mode, listen forthe buzzer to indicate Tag detection. Table 3 and Table 4 list the LED and buzzersignals and the corresponding operations and states. Low Power ModeIf main power fails the PTR will enter Low Power Mode.Low power mode is indicated by the following:The green LED is off; and,The red LED is flashing approximately once every 1.5 seconds.In low power mode the PTR does not generate a LF field. The PTR transmits a “Devicein Low Power Mode” message to the network approximately once every 12 seconds. The PTR remains in this mode until main power is restored or until reserve power isexhausted. Reserve power should last for at least 15 minutes. When main power isrestored the PTR will begin normal operation. Table 3: Power and LF Field StatesLED and Buzzer Power and LF Field StateBuzzer emits short beep. Power up.Green LED slowly flashing. Power on and LF field off.Green LED on continually.

See “Troubleshooting” on page 8.Page 11 981-000300-000 R1.00 (Draft)Standby ModeIn Standby Mode the LF field is triggered on for 10 seconds when the input contactsare opened or closed. The PTR identifies and reports tags while the LF field is on. After10 seconds the LF field shuts down until the next input trigger.Select Standby Mode by setting the Mode Switches to 0, 1, 0 as in Figure 6.Input WiringThe input is an active low so that when the input terminal is grounded the input isactive or on. Wire the input to one terminal of a switch. Wire the other side of theswitch to either ground terminal on the PTR 4 pin wiring connector.Figure 7: Input WiringFigure 8: Alternate Input WiringEnd Of Line Input in Standby ModeThe End-Of-Line (EOL) setting enables input fault or input tampering detection. An EOL input provides two fixed resistance values instead of open and closed switchstates. The PTR will treat the transition from one resistance value to the other as anopening, or as a closing switch. If EOL resistors are installed and the EOL input isenabled, the PTR will remember the input values resulting from the EOL resistors. 1 0 1 Duty Cycle 3 The LF field cycles on for 10 seconds and off for 30minutes automatically.

Route the power wire inside the wall inaccordance with the local wiring regulations in your district.4Open the PTR case. 5 Push the power wire through the PTR backplate and work it towards the wiringconnector.6 Connect the power wires as in Figure 8.7 Optionally, connect the input wires as in Figure 8.8 Set the PTR to Test Mode by setting the Mode Switches to 0, 0, 0. Mode Switches are part of the Options DIP Switch and are shown in Figure 6. 9 Temporarily mount the PTR in its final location. Do not close the case.10 Adjust the LF field. See “Setting LF Field Strength” on page 4.11 Set the PTR address, and normal operating mode. See “Selecting an Operating Mode” on page 5 and Table 1 on page 8.12 Record the PTR address and location for later inclusion on the floor plan.13 Close the enclosure.14 Using the holes provided in the backplate, mount the PTR in its location. Use fasteners such as screws or wall anchors so that, if required, the device can be End of Procedureremoved from the wall, re-configured, and replaced in the same location.Figure 8: 4 Pin Terminal Block Wiring (Repeated for your convenience)+ 12 VDCGroundInputGroundPage 10 981-000300-000 R1.00 (Draft)If the PTR detects an input value different from the EOL values, it will respond as for anerror.
