Functional Description
The Proximity Tag Reader (PTR) is a medium range RFID tag reader. The PTR can be
used to:
Determine if a Tag is in a specific place; or,
Record the passage of Tags through a doorway or other restricted point.

Wire Access
The PTR is mounted to a flat surface using a backplate.
The PTR is housed in an attractive case that is without exterior adjustments. To make
wiring connections and adjustments, you must dismount and open the case.
The only required wire connections are for power. An optional wire connection is
available as a dry contact input to trigger the Low Frequency (LF) field in Standby
Mode.
Preferred Practices
When 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 field
strength, address, and operating mode. After these operations are complete,
permanently mount the PTR.

Maximum Tag detection range is approximately 5 ft. (1.5 m). As a result, mount the PTR
very close to the tag detection location. For example, to detect a tag worn by someone
in a bed, wall mount the PTR at the head of the bed.
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.

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

OPTIONS
Mode Switches are
set to 0,1, 0, which is
Standby Mode.
Using Mode Switches to Select Operating Mode
Figure 6 shows the Options DIP switch and the nearby circuit board. The letters, A
through to H, are etched in the circuit board edge. The Mode Switches are labelled as
F, G, and H. Operating Modes are selected by the Mode Switches.
When the PTR detects an error condition it will do all of the following:
Transmit an error message to the network; and,
Flash the red LED in a repeating pattern of 12 short flashes and one long flash; and,
Sound the buzzer every 12 flashes.
The PTR may enter an error state for three reasons:
An invalid combination of configuration switches has been set. 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 supply
voltage the device will continue to report tags while in the error state. If the
voltage supply is so low that the PTR cannot function, it will enter the Low Power
Mode which is described in the preceding text.
In each of the three error states, the PTR transmits a network message that indicates
which of the three causes is responsible.
Table 1 lists the Mode Switches (F, G, and H) and the Operating Modes.
Figure 6 shows the Mode Switches set to Standby Mode.

Description
Test
Used for adjusting field size. Field is uninterrupted
and the PTR beeps at each tag identification.
Network messages are not sent.
Uninterrupted
Field always on. Tags are identified as they enter the
field and queried once every 12 seconds. Tag
identities are re-acquired every minute.
Standby
The PTR is active for 10 seconds when it is triggered
by an opening or closing contact. See Figure 6.
Duty Cycle 1
The LF field cycles on for 5 seconds and off for 30
seconds automatically. The PTR identifies and reports
any tags found while the field is on.
Duty Cycle 2
The LF field cycles on for 10 seconds and off for 5
minutes automatically. The PTR identifies and reports
any tags found while the field is on.

In Standby Mode the LF field is triggered on for 10 seconds when the input contacts
are opened or closed. The PTR identifies and reports tags while the LF field is on. After
10 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.

Error: The PTR has detected one of three

If 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 “Device
in 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 is
exhausted. Reserve power should last for at least 15 minutes. When main power is
restored the PTR will begin normal operation.

End Of Line Input in Standby Mode
The 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 switch
states. The PTR will treat the transition from one resistance value to the other as an
opening, or as a closing switch. If EOL resistors are installed and the EOL input is
enabled, the PTR will remember the input values resulting from the EOL resistors.

If the PTR detects an input value different from the EOL values, it will respond as for an
error. Please see “Troubleshooting” on page 9.
To enable an EOL input, turn Switch A of the Options DIP switch on. See Figure 7.
Installation
Edge Select in Standby Mode
1 Select a location remembering that the detection zone is limited.
Edge section is controlled by switch B in the Options DIP Switch shown in Figure 7.
2 Use the PTR backplate as a template for locating mounting holes.
Turn Switch B on to trigger the LF field on when:
the switch opens; or,
when a normally closed (NC) relay opens.
3 Drill a hole in the wall for the power wire. Route the power wire inside the wall in
accordance with the local wiring regulations in your district.
Turn Switch B off to trigger the LF Field on when:
the switch closes; or,
when a normally open (NO) relay closes.
5 Push the power wire through the PTR backplate and work it towards the wiring
connector.
These conditions are summarized in Table 2.
7 Optionally, connect the input wires as in Figure 8.
Table 2: Setting the LF Field Trigger
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.
