      • Flashes for 3 seconds: Learning failed or no response from the Control Panel.

  • Power:

    • The Tag Reader is powered by two AA 1.5V L91 Lithium batteries as power source.

    • The Tag Reader can also detect the battery status. If the battery voltage is low during operation, the low battery signal will be sent to the Control Panel along with regular signal transmissions for the Control Panel to display the status accordingly.

    • If battery voltage is exhausted, both Green and Red LED will flash every 4 seconds and the Tag Reader will stop all operation.

  • Power Saving Feature:

    • When idle, Tag Reader is in “power saving” mode and uses no power. It will activate and “wake-up” for 10 seconds when put the tag on the Tag Reader sensor.

    • After 10 seconds of inactivity, the power goes off and it returns to power saving mode.

  • Tamper Protection:

    • Tag Reader is protected against any attempt to open the lid or to detach Tag Reader from its mounting surface (see Mounting Tag Reader for details).

    • When Tag Reader’s tamper is triggered, a tamper signal will be sent to the Control Panel for the Control Panel to display the status. Once the signal is sent, Tag Reader returns to power saving mode.

  • Getting Started:

Step 1. Remove the cover by losing the fixing screw.

Step 2. Power on the Tag Reader.

Step 3. Adding Tag Reader into the Control Panel:

  1. Put Control Panel into Learning Mode (Refer to the operation manual of your Control Panel for details), then Remove the Tag Reader’s cover.

  2. Press the Learn Button, the Tag Reader will transmit a learning signal to the Control Panel with a beep sound, if the Control Panel successfully receives the learning signal, Tag Reader will emit 3 beeps and its info will display in the Control Panel.

  3. Press the Add button, the Control Panel will send acknowledgement back to Tag Reader and it will emit 1 beep to indicate successful learning.

  4. If Tag Reader fails to transmit signal or receive acknowledgement from the Control Panel, the Orange LED will flash for 3 seconds times. Please press the Learn Button again to learn into the Control Panel.

Step 4. Navigate the Control Panel into “Walk Test” mode. Hold the Tag Reader in the desired location, press the learn button on the Tag Reader with 1 beep sound, to confirm this location is within signal range of the Control Panel, if success the Tag Reader will emit 3 beeps.

Step 5. When you are satisfied that the Tag Reader works in the chosen location, you can proceed to mount the Tag Reader by following the below steps.

  • Mounting Tag Reader:

The Tag Reader consists of a two-part design made up of a cover and base. The cover contains all the electronics and the base provides a mean of fixing. The tamper switch protects the enclosure from being opened or being removed from the mounting surface.

The base has three knockouts for mounting purpose. To mount the Tag Reader:

Mounting Holes:

I. Remove the fixing screw at the bottom II. Remove the cover assembly

  1. Break through the appropriate knockouts on the mounting holes.

IV. Use the Mounting holes of the base as a template, drill holes in the surface.

  1. Insert the wall plugs if fixing into plaster or brick VI. Screw the base into the wall plugs

VII. Fix the cover with the screw and clips to the base

<NOTE>

    • If the mounted Tag Reader is forcedly removed, the Breakaway Area will be left on the wall separated from the Tag Reader, the tamper will then be triggered (only available by using the Mounting Holes method).
