    WARNING Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in exposure to hazardous radiation or electrical voltages. OPTICAL SAFETY Never stare directly into laser beam. The laser diode is interlocked with the motor that turns the polygon mirror so that if the motor slows or stops for any reason the laser will be automatically turned off.

  • Page 19: Wiegand Connection Terminals

    Wiring Connection Details Wiegand Communication Terminals Data1 Data0 Comm Wiegand communication from the BA-440 can be run two different ways; optoisolated or direct connection. The Optoisolated connection has several advantages, provided the Access panel or telephone entry system supports it. To use the Optoisolated connection the access panel or telephone entry system must provide voltage to the Data0 and Data1 connections on the reader.

  • Page 20: Optoisolated Wiegand Connection

    Wiring Connection Details Wiegand Communication Terminals Data1 Data0 Comm Optoisolated Connection (Preferred) The Wiegand output communication terminals are marked as Data1, Data0 and Common. The normal configuration for Wiegand communication from the BA-440 is optoisolated, where the reader does not supply voltage on the Data0 and Data1 terminals and Comm does not have a direct connection to the reader ground.

  • Page 21: Direct Wiegand Connection

    Wiring Connection Details Wiegand Communication Terminals Data1 Data0 Comm Direct Connection (if Optoisolated connection cannot be used) In some cases the Optoisolated Wiegand communication cannot be used. Generally this is due to the Access panel or telephone entry not providing voltage on the Data0 and Data1 lines. To change the Wiegand connection from optoisolated to direct: 1.

  • Page 24: Finishing The Ba-440 Installation

    Finishing the BA-440 DualBeam Installation After the Reader is mounted and the wiring is connected, the opening for in the bottom of the baseplate must be sealed off. Use silicone, RTV, or other sealant to close off the opening in the bottom so it is watertight.

  • Page 25: Mounting Angle

    Mounting Angle The BA-440 DualBeam should be aimed straight across the road as Curb shown. BA-440 Car Window Powering Up the BA-440 DualBeam When testing the BA-440 DualBeam it is useful to have a laptop computer on hand that can communicate with the reader. This allows the installer to take advantage of the diagnostics built into the unit or alter the configuration if necessary.

  • Page 26: Led Indicators

    LED Indicators Look on the decoder circuit board, which is mounted on the opposite side from the wiring terminals. A column of LED indicators provide information on reader operations. From top to bottom they are: Gd Read (Green) - will light for approx 1 second when a decal is read Lsr Act (Yellow) - indicates when the laser is on Rst Act (Green) - will light when the unit is being reset Data0 Act (Red)
  • Page 27 LED Indicators Continued… As you pass the barcode through the laser line also watch the two red LED’s (Data0 Act and Data1 Act) that show the status of the Wiegand data lines. When the barcode is read, both should “flash” or “flicker” red very quickly.
