LONG-RANGE TAG/CARD READER KIT
The DoorKing UHF tag/card reader is designed as a long range RFID reader using passive tag/card technology. Passive tag/card technology does
not contain a battery in the tag/card so it will never wear out. The long range reader emits an RF signal which powers the tag/card when the
tag/card enters the scanning area of the reader's antenna. The tag/card relays its Wiegand number back to the reader which reports the tag/card's
number to the connected access control system. There is an interface module supplied with the reader that eliminates the need to set up the
system using a computer. All necessary settings and adjustments can be made using the DIP and rotary switch on the reader's control board. It is
an effortless way to open the gate for authorized vehicles. Mount an authorized tag/card on the car that the antenna is able to scan and the gate will
open as the car approaches.
The system will work with 26-Bit wiegand controllers. It uses frequency-hopping technology in the 902-928 MHz band (standard).

Modes of Operation
The UHF long range reader can operate in two different modes: Timing and Trigger mode which are selectable using SW2, DIP-switch 1 on the
control board.
Timing Mode:
to read tag/cards that are within reading range at a rate determined by DIP-switch SW2, switches 2, 3 and 4. See other side for
Timing mode wiring and DIP-switch settings.
Trigger Mode:
attempt to read tag/cards UNLESS the two trigger signal wires are shorted together (car on loop). Connect the dry contact relay
wires of a vehicle loop detector to the loose red and black trigger wires on the long range antenna. See other side for "Optional"
Trigger mode wiring and DIP-switch settings.

Installation
Position the antenna in the same plane as the mounted tag/card.
- Windshield mounted tag/card: Slant mounted antenna works best.
- Headlight Tag/License Plate Tag: Vertically mounted antenna works best.
