and, (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Industry Canada: Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause interference and (2) this device must accept any
interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
C AUTION:
The reader should be positioned so that personnel in the area for prolonged periods may safely remain at least 20 cm (8 in) in an uncontrolled
environment from the reader's surface. Observe FCC OET Bulletin 56, "Hazards of radio frequency and electromagnetic fields" and Bulletin 65,
"Human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields".

Page 2: Table Of Contents
With a 12 volt DC supply, its current consumption is less than 1 ampere, making it suitable for a large selection of commercial power supplies. The LR-2000 reader has simultaneous Wiegand and RS-232 outputs. -
Page 3: Specifications
CABLE EXITING FROM LR-2000 READER The cable that is integrated into the LR-2000 is 22 gauge, 10 conductors, stranded wire, color-coded insulation, not twisted pairs, overall 100% shielded, 32 inches long. (The connectors on the reader’s cable, when shipped, have no practical use. The installer removes these connectors and strips the insulation.) - Page 4 • “R” is the read range (maximum distance) for each AWID UHF tag or card. The typical reading distance is 10 feet to 15 feet, depending upon the tag or card type and the reader mounting. The field’s diameter “W” is about 6 feet at the reading distance.

This minimizes cross-talk of Wiegand data pulses from one data line to the other. • The LR-2000 reader has no LED. The lens in the corner of the reader’s cover is a dummy. Use the LR-2000KIT instead. •... -
Page 6: Testing Reader And Tags Before Installation
The reader’s effective RF field, in which the long-range credentials can be detected, is maximized when there is no material in front of the reader or immediately to the sides of the reader. See the LR-2000 Effective RF Field diagram (Figure 1 on page 4). -
Page 7: Installing The Reader
• By moving the test tag in the space in front of the LR-2000 reader, the tester can map the extent of the effective RF field that is plotted in Figure 1. The reading distance should extend from the reader’s face to the guaranteed 10 feet or 15 feet with the test tags. - Page 8 WIRING THE READER (FOR WIEGAND INTERFACE -- Figure 3) 1. The cable between the LR-2000 reader and the controller panel should be (see complete specifications in Section 2.3) – • 5 conductors for data & power • Stranded wire • Overall 100% shielded •...

Page 9: Installing The Credentials
Plan the installation considering these factors before installation starts. 2. Start by testing the LR-2000 reader using the LR-2000KIT’s test unit and the hand-held test credentials, with no vehicle present at the reader. When good read range has been proved, proceed to mounting the cards and tags in or on the vehicles. -
Page 10: Testing The Installed System
(See Section 11 – Trouble-Shooting for solutions to particular problems.) TESTING AWID’S PRODUCTS (ISOLATED) At any time the LR-2000 reader may be disconnected from the other components of the system, and the performance of the reader and the credentials tested by themselves. -
Page 11: Instructions For Lr-2000Hiloma Reader Set
READER SET AWID’s LR-2000HiLoMA is a set of two units that work together at a reader location. One unit is a Master Reader that controls the alternation of RF transmission between the two units. The second unit is a Remote Antenna, in an identical housing. The two units are interconnected by a coaxial cable. -
Page 12: Part Bplanning
PART B PLANNING APPLICATIONS INTRODUCTION The LR-2000 reader is especially designed for Automated Vehicle Identification (AVI). The chief variables that must be considered in planning the readers and credentials for the system are – • • Lane characteristics Reader location •... -
Page 13: Planning Factors
These topics apply generally to all forms of the LR-2000 reader. The environmental, electrical, interference and temperature range characteristics likewise apply to all forms of the LR-2000 reader. These characteristics are optimized if a buried-loop vehicle sensor arms the reader for RF transmission only when a vehicle is present at the reader. - Page 14 10.4 VEHICLE TYPES • All passenger car types: A single LR-2000 reader usually works for sport cars, sedans, SUVs and pickups, unless tags are in diverse locations on the vehicles. • Mixed small and large vehicles: The LR-2000HiLoMA reader set is available when cards and tags are spaced apart on vehicles of different sizes.
- Page 15 10.13 ACCESSORIES • LR-2000KIT Test & Set-up Kit: Absolutely required. AWID may not be able to support the installer if the Kit is not at the site. • Documents: The complete LR-2000 Installation & Operation Manual must be at the site with the installer.

Page 16: Part Creference
Follow all steps. Goal: To be confident that the LR-2000 works by itself stand-alone, communicating only with the test tags and the test unit.. 2. Interfacing to a PC: Connect the reader’s RS-232 output to the serial input port of a PC. Run the Microsoft Windows HyperTerminal program. - Page 17 Do not connect other readers and other devices to the LR-2000 reader’s power supply. • Connect only a single LR-2000 reader to a power supply, and no other electrical load – not even a small proximity reader. • Have a different power supply for each LR-2000 reader.
- Page 18 WIRING Wiring an LR-2000 reader is not the same as wiring other reader types. For the Wiegand interface, Data-0 and Data-1 lines are the same, but all other wires are different. 8 of the reader’s 10 wires must be used or reserved; 2 wires ate not used.
- Page 19 Leave the aluminum foil open in front of the reader so that the reader can communicate with the test tags. Remove power from other LR-2000 readers that are less than 12 feet from the tested reader if they are aimed parallel (as in neighboring lanes at the gates), or less than 30 feet from the tested reader if they are aimed head-on toward the tested reader.
