433-MHz RANGER
WRT-2+/WRT-4+/WRT-2M WIRELESS RADIO TRANSMITTERS
This Quick Start Guide is intended for experienced installation technicians. It is a basic reference to ensure all installations are properly made.
1.0 Description
Wireless Radio Transmitters and Long Range Receivers with an
integrated receive antenna comprise Farpointe Data's high frequency,
long-range identification solution known as Ranger. Intended for
security access control applications, Ranger's wireless communication
is based upon a digital routine. Ranger Transmitters are available in
two- or four-button configurations, with each button corresponding to
its own Wiegand output on the Ranger Receiver. Each Transmitter
includes an integrated red LED, used to indicate both positive button
press and battery strength.

The WRT-2+ and WRT-4+ Transmitters are also equipped standard with
a potted proximity or contactless smartcard module allowing the
Transmitter to also be used as a close-range access credential. These
Transmitters ship standard with a proximity module offering technology
support of certain Pyramid Series Proximity
125-kHz proximity readers, or with a contactless smartcard module
(such as MIFARE Classic, as well as MIFARE
®
technology support of certain contactless smartcard readers, such as
CONEKT . The WRT-2M Transmitter does not include a proximity or
® 2
contactless smartcard module. Instead it can be fitted with an adhesive
disc tag, such as Farpointe's model PDT-1—that adheres to the back of
the Transmitter—which also allows it to be used as a close-range
access credential. Disc tags, which are sold separately, are available in
the same proximity or contactless smartcard formats as noted above.

3.0 Output Formats
Transmitters are sequentially coded in either the industry standard
26-bit Wiegand format or custom Wiegand formats, with exact number
sequences. As a cross reference the Transmitters' internal ID number
is printed on the ID label found on the back of the Transmitter.
Specific coding details, including format, facility code, and ID range
can be found on the Transmitter shipping box, as well as the
shipment's packing list.
4.0 Time-Out
Transmitters include physical buttons. When activated properly with a
press and release, the Transmitter button will provide a physical click
and the LED will flash. When a button is held down continuously the
Transmitter will transmit its code once and then shutdown, returning to
normal operation once the button is released. This preserves the
Transmitter battery, and prevents interference with other Transmitters
that may be in the field.
5.0 Battery Replacement
Transmitters include a replaceable CR2032, 3.3V, lithium battery
enclosed in a tamper-proof battery compartment. The battery should
be replaced when a button press does not result in a flash of the LED,
reliable read range, and/or an output from the Receiver. To replace the
battery, follow the directions below:
1. Using a coin, place it in the gap (2-piece unit) near the key ring
holder and twist to pop the transmitter open.
2. Remove the old battery.

3. Insert the new CR2032, 3.3V, lithium battery. Be sure the plus (+)
side of the battery is facing up (visible when installed).
4. Snap both pieces together.
6.0 Range

Read range between the Transmitter and Receiver depends on the
Receiver model being used. Please review the Ranger Receiver
datasheet for more information.
