Control iD iDUHF - Quick Guide

1. Necessary Material

For the physical installation of your iDUHF, the following items are required: MAE External Drive Module [1], installation kit (support part + clamp + screws), a 13mm wrench[2], a 12V/2A DC supply[2] and an antenna support mast installed².

[1] Optional according to installation scenario. [2] Items sold separately.

Use a high-quality, noise-free 12V/2A supply to ensure full product operation.

2. Physical Installation

Installation of the equipment is simple and should follow the sequence below:

1. Attach the support part of the installation kit to the back of the iDUHF, using the four screws that come with the product and a wrench.
2. Use the support piece clamps and a fixed wrench to place the iDUHF on the support mast previously installed in the environment. Ensure the iDUHF connectors are pointing downwards.

With the help of a fixed wrench, adjust the angle of the iDUHF so that its front face points towards the place where vehicles pass. Consider, in this process, that the emitted signal has an aperture of 30 degrees in all directions.

Warning: Do not install two iDUHF units covering the same reading region.

Identify your installation scenario in item 4 of this document and make the electrical connections described in the corresponding diagram.

3. Description of Connection Pins

The iDUHF has a dedicated network port (Ethernet) for setting its parameters and integration with Control iD's access software (iDSecure), as well as a 14-position terminal bar to ensure communication with the MAE and complete integration with different installation environments. Check the following table with the descriptions of the External Actuation Module - MAE and iDUHF interfaces.

MAE - 2-pin Connector (Power)

MAE - 4-pin Connector (Connection with iDUHF)

MAE - 5-Pin connector (Wiegand In/Out)

MAE - 6-pin Connector (Relay Control)

iDUHF - 14-pin Connector

30VDC Maximum

4. Use Cases

Check the electrical schematics of each of the product installation options.

4.1. iDUHF as Access Controller connected to MAE

In this scenario, the iDUHF reads and identifies the vehicle TAG, authorizes the release according to the access rules (local or on the server - iDSecure) and uses the MAE (SecBox) to control an external motor drive board.

4.2. iDUHF as Access Controller without MAE

In this scenario, the iDUHF reads and identifies the vehicle TAG, authorizes the release according to the access rules (local or on the server - iDSecure) and controls an external motor drive board using an internal relay, without the need for the MAE.

4.3. iDUHF as UHF Reader (Wiegand)

In this scenario, the iDUHF reads the vehicle TAG identification number and sends it to an external controller board (central control system) via the Wiegand protocol.

5. Sensors

5.1. Trigger Sensor (Trigger - TGR)

The TGR input signal has the functionality to control the triggering of the TAGs reading from a specific event. When using a barrier sensor or inductive loop, for example, it is guaranteed that the iDUHF will only perform the identification when a vehicle is in the proper position, thus avoiding unwanted and unnecessary readings.

5.2. Door Sensor - DS

The DS input signal can be used to check the current state of the gate (open/closed). Thus, when integrated with monitoring systems, this feature can trigger alarms that indicate unusual behavior in the plant (breaking into the gate, for example).

6. Setting Web Interface

6.1. Accessing from the Web Interface

To set up the iDUHF via the network, connect the equipment directly to a PC via a Network cable (cross or point-to-point). Then, set up a fixed IP on your machine on the network 192.168.0.xxx (where xxx is different from 129 so there is no IP conflict) with mask 255.255.255.0.

To access the equipment configuration screen, open a web browser and enter the URL: http://192.168.0.129

The login screen will appear. By default, access credentials are: Username: admin, Password: admin

To reset the IP to factory default (192.168.0.129), restart the power to the product with the Trigger and Door Sensor contacts connected to the GND.

6.2. Setting UHF Reading

To facilitate the integration and use of the iDUHF in the access control system, access the UHF Reader option on the web interface and configure the following parameters:

General

• Wiegand output bits - 26 (default), 32, 34 or 66 bits.
• Antenna transmission power - between 15 and 24 dBm to regulate the reading distance of vehicular TAGs.
• Operation mode - Continuous for reading enabled constantly or Trigger for activating the reading depending on the Trigger input.
• Trigger Timeout - time in which the TAG reading will be enabled after the trigger sensor is activated.
• Interval between readings

Interval between readings

• Same Tag - time interval between each reading of the same TAG.
• Different Tags - time interval for each reading of TAGs with different IDs.

Advanced

• Channel Selection - choice of readout frequencies the iDUHF can operate on. It is recommended to use this setting to avoid interference when more than one product is installed in the environment.
