Recommendations

• Install the module away from computer transmission cables or from power sources (ex: RJ45, AC power line…).
• The disruptions that they can cause can vary according to their radiation power and their proximity.
• Use a filtered and regulated power supply.
• Antennas connected to different modules may interfere with each other. Move them away from each other.
• A power supply which provides 1.5 A min under +12Vdc is recommended.
• If the IN/OUT are powered by the module, use a 2A min under +12Vdc power supply.
• Users must not remain within a range of less than, 34 cm / 13.39 in from an antenna for an extended period of time as per EN50364 applicable to this type of device.
• Only the hatch can be opened.
• Before any service operation you must de-energize reader.
• Check that the hatch seal is correctly positioned before closing.
• Do not remove the caps of unused cable glands:

• Do not remove the caps from the unused RF connectors:

• Install the reader with the word UP facing upwards in that way the connectors are down:

• Careful: There is a 5.5 volts DC on each RF port.

Host Connection
In order to access the module connectors, open only the hatch provided for this purpose by unscrewing the 4 captive screws without removing them from the hatch.

Configuration

Only STid antennas can be used with read-only and OSDPTM modules. Please refer to the STid antenna installation procedure for module/antenna compatibility.
The number of antennas & channels and the communication protocol are configurable with the Ultrys V2 application or when the module is ordered. Please refer to Ultrys for more details about configuration settings.

• TTL protocols (Wiegand & ISO2): please refer to Spec_Protocole_Wiegand_V2.1_EN & Spec_Protocole_Clock&Data_V2.1_EN.
• Serial protocols (RS232 & RS485): the structure of the frame can be configured with the ULTRYS application with the following optional parameters (in gray):

1 byte	1 byte + X bytes	1 byte	1 byte	1 byte	1 byte
STX	Channel number + Tag Data*	LRC	CR	LF	ETX
0x02	Ox0y nn…..nn		OxOD	OXOA	0x03

– ASCII: if this option is activated, the data will be sent in ASCII mode (data size will be doubled)
– Padding: complete the tag data with not significant 0 to obtain the defined data size – (Channel no. + 0 padding + tag data).

• OSDP™ protocol (RS485: 7OS): please refer to ULTRYS for more details about configuration settings + refer to Spec_Protocole_7OS_OSDP_UHF-EN.pdf.

Start Sequence

When the module is switched on, the module’s red LED lights up. Module initializing.
After initializing, the module will look for a configuration tag for about 15 s, on antenna 1 (connected to RF port 1).

• If no tag detected: the antenna LED flashes “color RFON” (200ms) (blue by default) / RFOFF (200ms).
• If any tag detected: the antenna LED displays the sequence “color RFON” (blue by default) / “color DETECTION” (orange by default) for 200ms then LED OFF.
• If a configuration tag is detected: the antenna LED displays the sequence « color RFON “(blue by default) / “color DETECTION” (orange by default) for 200ms then LED OFF, then the antenna LED gives the followings indications:
  – 3 GREEN flashes (500ms ON; 200ms OFF): the configuration tag is taken into account.
  – 3 RED flashes (500ms ON; 200ms OFF): the regulation (region) of the configuration tag does not match to the regulation of the reader.
  – 3 PURPLE flashes (500ms ON; 200ms OFF): the key of the configuration tag does match to the reader key.
  – 5 RED flashes (500ms ON; 200ms OFF): the model of the reader of the configuration tag does match to the model of the reader.

The end of the start sequence is indicated by the flashing of the reader LEDs (red and green) 3 times (500ms ON; 500ms OFF).

Red/Green Module LED indication

Power supply OK: fixed red LED
Power supply too low: blinking red LED (500ms ON / 500ms OFF)
Temperature error: blinking red LED 5 times after all reading sequence. (RF Scan)
RF error, antenna problem: blinking red LED 3 times after all reading sequence. (RF Scan)
Communication: green LED

Operating Mode

When the module is switched on, the module’s red LED lights up. Reader initializing.
After initializing:

• If the module is a RS232 module: module’s green LED blinked 3 times.
• If the module is a RS485 module: module’s red LED blinked 3 times.

The module then waits for command.
More details about reader’s communication are available in the protocol specification: Spec_Protocole_SSCP_UHF_ACCESS.

Red/Green Module LED indication

Power supply OK: fixed red LED
Power supply too low: blinking red LED (500ms ON / 500ms OFF)
Communication: Green LED

Dimensions (mm/in)

Mounting

Mount with a 75 x 75 mm / 0.79 x 0.79 in VESA standard mounting bracketM4x12 stainless steel screws provided with mounting kit).

Or mount directly on a wall Ø 4×35 aluminum screws provided (TCL ALU 4×12).

If you want to mount the module using KFX-UHF, please refer to the instruction procedure of the kits:

Adjustable wall-mounted kit: KFX-UHF-08 NI1096H

Adjustable pole-mounted kit: KFX-UHF-09 NI1096I

Mounting an Antenna UHF-SPECTRE on Module

• Attach the antenna on the module with the 4 screws (TCL ALU M4x12) provided with the module.
• Remove the cap from port RF 1.
• Connect the antenna to port RF 1 of the module.

The antenna cables have a male connector and a female connector.

Length	Part number	Cable loss
1.5 m /4.92 ft	CAB-SPECTRE-1.5M	0.55 dB
3 m / 9.84 ft	CAB-SPECTRE-3M	1.1 dB
9 m / 29.53 ft	CAB-SPECTRE-9M	2.3 dB
12 m / 39.37 ft	CAB-SPECTRE-12M	2.4 dB

Note: cable losses add up when several cables are coupled. Ex: CAB-SPECTRE-1.5M (0.55 dB) + CAB-SPECTRE-3M (1.1 dB) = total loss 1.65 dB

Antenna Connection

An antenna must be connected to the RF port 1 (closed to the LEDs).

Read-only & OSDPTM	SSCP®
Check on Ultrys software, the possible cable combinations relative to antenna used.	It strongly advised that total cable loss doesn’t exceed 3dB.
