Read and understand the information in “Access Control Reader Location” before you begin the installation. The Access Control Reader (ACR) is a Controller Module and an Antenna joined by a 10 ft. (3 m) cable. The device reads the implantable VeriChip™ microchip. The ACR can work as: a stand-alone reader, an Integrated access control, or part of a VeriGuard™ system. The Antenna is very sensitive to its mounting location while the Controller Module is not. Additionally, you cannot extend the cable joining the Controller Module and Antenna. So, mount the Antenna in the best location; and then install the Controller Module in the best location within a 10 ft. (3 m) radius.

Mounting Hole Cable Entry Mounting Keyhole Mounting Keyhole Mounting Keyhole Current mA Communication Overview Configuration The ACR sends microchip identification numbers through the Wiegand and RS232 ports and communicates via an RS485 network. The ACR can be configured for either: Network Mode; or, Integrated Mode. RS485 Network Mode When operated in Network Mode, the ACR can work as part of a VeriGuard security system. Page 7 PN: 981-000293-000 R1.3 As part of a VeriChip RFID system the ACR sends the microchip identification number to the Hub and to the application server using VeriChip’s proprietary RS485 communication protocol. The VeriChip RFID system issues commands to the ACR and other components based upon its inputs and configuration. Page 16 PN: 981-000293-000 R1.3 Installation Guide: Access Control Reader Installation Guide: Access Control Reader Figure 10: Power Supply, Ammeter, and Controller Module in Series Controller Module In network operation, the ACR is configured through the VeriChip application. DC Ammeter 24 VDC Integrated Mode 2 Remove the label on the bulge of the Antenna. Behind the label you will find a small hole that gives access to the tuning DIP switch. 3 Move all the DIP switches to the OFF position as shown in Figure 11. Figure 11: DIP Switches in Off position All three communication channels are active in Network mode. This allows the ACR to output microchip identification numbers to third party systems through both the RS232 and Wiegand ports while continuing to function as part of the VeriGuard security system on the RS485 network. When operated in Integrated Mode the ACR can automatically monitor a single access point. When the ACR reads a VeriChip implantable microchip, it transmits the microchip identification through the RS-232 and Wiegand ports. Selecting the operating mode is the first step of the installation procedure below. Installation Installation of the ACR consists of several steps. The first step is to select the operating mode. Selecting Integrated or Network Mode The operating mode can be selected using two jumpers: J4 and J5. Both jumpers are found in the middle of the Controller Module circuit board. Both jumpers have two pins and a single jumper which can be used to connect the pins. 4 Apply power to the ACR. 5 Notice the current measured by the ammeter. Values may range from 50 mA to 360 mA. To select Integrated Mode or Network Mode: 6 Start at the right hand #4 DIP switch. Turn it ON and OFF and record the position which caused the greatest current and the ammeter reading. Continue to test all the combinations of switch positions. Table 5, following, has been provided for you to record your measurements. 2 To select Integrated Mode: Connect both J4 and J5 with jumpers. 7 Select the switch combination that causes the greatest current. 8 If two settings produce the same values, use either setting. 9 You have now tuned the Antenna for the best possible performance in its current location. You must now re-check its performance using a microchip. If the detection zone is large enough, replace the label covering the tuning DIP switch. End of Procedure If, after tuning the Antenna, the ACR detection zone is still not adequate, you must consider modifying the current location; or, selecting another location for the ACR. Modifying the current location could include: Moving the Antenna cable further from the Antenna. Removing any metallic objects near the Antenna. 3 To select Network Mode: Remove the jumpers from J4 and J5. Store the jumpers by placing them on only one pin of each pair. 4 Close the Controller Module. End of Procedure Surface Mounting on a Wall To mount the ACR to a wall surface: 1 Once you have chosen a location for the Antenna, use the supplied mounting template to mark the location of the four mounting holes and one cable entry hole. 2 Drill the appropriate size holes for #8 screws (4.17 mm) and suitable mounting hardware for the wall material. If you move the Antenna to another location, you may need to retune the Antenna. Page 15 1 Open the Controller Module by removing the four screws in the top of the case. Locate the jumpers. PN: 981-000293-000 R1.3 3 Drill the appropriately sized hole for the Antenna cable. Page 8 PN: 981-000293-000 R1.3 Installation Guide: Access Control Reader Installation Guide: Access Control Reader 4 Feed the cable connector through the hole first and draw the cable up to the Controller Module. Do not connect the Controller Module at this time. 5 Mount the Antenna to the wall using mounting hardware suitable for the wall material. NOTE: Do Not allow the cable to hang within 4 in. (10.2 cm) of the Antenna back. To test the detection zone size: 1 Bring a VeriChip™ implantable microchip slowly towards the surface of the Antenna. When the microchip signal is first acquired, the Antenna LED will flash and the Antenna buzzer will beep. When the signal is acquired, note the distance between the microchip and the Antenna. 2 Move the microchip a few feet away from the Antenna and wait for more than 12 seconds. Repeat Step 1. Once the microchip signal has been acquired, the ACR will not indicate signal acquisition again until the microchip is out of range for more than 12 seconds. Figure 6: Incorrect Cabling 6 Route the cable away from the Antenna. Ensure the cable does not kink and does not contact any electrical wires or sharp surfaces. Wall Antenna Figure 6 shows an incorrect method of cable routing. The metal shield of the cable will detune the Antenna when the cable and Antenna are within 4 in. of each other. Cable Do Not Do This: Figure 7 shows two correct methods of routing the cable. The method on the right is better than the method on the left as it draws more of the cable further from the Antenna. Do Not allow cable to hang within 4 in. (10.2 cm) of the Antenna back. Corridor Use the following procedure to test the detection zone size. Figure 8 is a variation of Figure 7. In Figure 8 the cable is led up and then in a horizontal direction either to the left or right. This again draws the cable away from the Antenna. Wall Interior 7 The cable may be loosely coiled. Tightly coiling the cable may damage it. Use a maximum of three turns over the entire cable length. 3 Repeat the above steps several time to find the size of the LF Field. End of Procedure Tools You will need: an ammeter capable of reading DC milliamperes a small tipped tool such as a small screwdriver a power source for the ACR. This must supply 500 mA @ 24 VDC. Tuning Overview Tuning increases Antenna efficiency and creates a larger LF Field. The increase of Antenna efficiency is measured by the ACR current draw. When the ACR current peaks, the Antenna is tuned. Tuning is controlled by four small on-off DIP switches. You must select the switch combination that causes the greatest current draw. To Tune the ACR: 1 Mount the Antenna in location. Arrange the Antenna cable in its final position. Connect the Antenna cable to the controller. Place an ammeter capable of measuring DC mA in series between the power supply and the Controller Module. See Figure 10. 8 Wire the Controller Module as described in Table 2. 9 Connect the Antenna cable to the Controller Module. 10 If you have not already done so, record the location and serial number of the ACR for later inclusion on the floor plan.

A microchip enters the LF field. The ACR signals that the microchip has arrived in the field and that the ACR has acquired its unique identification number. The microchip must be outside the field for 12 seconds or more before the ACR will again signal that the microchip has entered the field; and, acquire the microchip identification number.

The ACR is maintaining communication with the microchip. Antenna Antenna Tuning the ACR The ACR will work in most installations without tuning. However, tuning features have been provided to accommodate the widest possible range of installations. A Variation of the Best Way When do you need to tune the ACR? You need to tune the ACR when it is installed near a metallic object or structure and the range of the LF Field does not provide a minimal operational microchip detection zone. The microchip detection zone is dependent on the size of the LF Field. The largest possible LF Field extends approximately 3 in. to 4 in. from the Antenna surface depending on site conditions. If the detection zone is less than this, it is possible that tuning the Antenna may increase the LF Field size. However, Antennas are shipped tuned. So, if your LF Field size is adequate, there may not be any advantage to tuning. Page 13 PN: 981-000293-000 R1.3 Corridor Wall Interior Front View (Wall is not shown.) Side View Page 10 PN: 981-000293-000 R1.3 Installation Guide: Access Control Reader Installation Guide: Access Control Reader Mounting the Antenna Inside a Wall 5 Use Table 2 to wire the Controller Module. When the Antenna must be located inside a wall, consider the following: 6 Before closing up the wall, test and confirm correct operation of the ACR. End of Procedure The detection zone will be smaller due to the wall thickness. You may not have a large enough detection zone on both sides of the wall. For example, Figure 9 shows an Antenna mounted inside a 4 in. (10.16 cm) wall. In the figure, only about 1 in. (2.54 cm) of the LF field extends into the corridor on the right side of the wall. The wall material must not contain metal that would block the LF Field. The Antenna must be mounted vertically to ensure an even detection zone. You will need to construct a mounting surface inside the wall. Do not suspend the Antenna by the cable.
