Page 4: Optical Safety
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 10: Basic Installation And Setup Steps
7. Turn Power Switch On 8. You're up & running If the BA-220 DualBeam was not set up for your specific installation at the Factory you will have to configure the Reader after it is mounted in place. To do this refer to the Operation and Configuration Manual for details. - Page 11 BAI offers a standard mounting post that is 34” high. It is intended to be used on a 6” curb or concrete mounting pad for a total height of 40”. To fabricate a mounting post refer to the appendix for drawings.
- Page 12 Determine where the BA-220 DualBeam will be installed: 6’ read distance In some locations the vehicle drive is very wide, as shown in the illustration above. In these cases, we recommend painting lane lines or stripes to indicate where the vehicle must pass by in order to be read by the BA-220 DualBeam.

When the vehicle pulls up to the BA-220 DualBeam it reads the decal and transmits the number to the Access Control panel, which checks the database for valid numbers. If access is granted, the panel opens the gate.
- Page 15 Security System through an RS232 serial port. Barcode decal ID numbers are programmed into the Computer Security system. When a vehicle pulls up to the BA-220 DualBeam reader, it reads the decal and transmits the number to the Security system. If valid, the Security system opens the gate.

Page 20: Surge Module Replacement Instructions
Surge Module Replacement Instructions Surge Protection modules from BAI are sacrificial - if a powerful surge occurs they will open to protect the reader electronics. Surge modules cannot be repaired, they can only be replaced. Important Safety Note: Turn reader power off before installing surge modules. - Page 21 Surge Module Replacement Instructions Important Safety Note: Turn reader power off before installing surge modules. RS232 surge modules are optional accessories and must be ordered separately. They should be used only for RS232 communications that are wired permanently from the reader to a computer interface. The Surge module is not necessary when temporarily connecting a laptop for diagnostics.

Page 23: Input/Output Connections
It should not be used for devices that need more than 500mA of current. The Ground terminals (both of them) connect to the BA-220 DualBeam electronic circuit ground. The Wiegand Hold terminal is not implemented and should not be connected. -
Page 24: Finishing The Ba-220 Installation
Finishing the BA-220 DualBeam Installation After the Reader is mounted and the wiring is connected, all of the openings in the bottom of the enclosure 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
Car Window Powering Up the BA-220 DualBeam When testing the BA-220 DualBeam you should have a laptop computer on hand that can communicate with the reader. The reason for this is to take advantage of the diagnostics and test programs that are built in to the unit. -
Page 26: Led Indicators
Sync (Green) - will light when gold wheel is spinning Reading a test barcode: Refer to page 28 for how the barcode must be held for the BA-220 DualBeam to read it. Then, pass the barcode through the laser line. - Page 27 If you try to read it again sooner, the BA-220 DualBeam will ignore it. If a different barcode number is read, you will see the green indicator light. The only time you need to wait 1 second between reads is if you have only 1 barcode number to test with.
