Setting Read Range on a Conekt Reader

This document explains how to set the read range on a Conekt Reader.

Applies to: CSR-35

Toggle between CSR-35P (presentation) and CSR-35L (long range) reader modes

1. Cycle power on the reader

Note:

There is a 10-minute window for configuration.
After 10-minutes the reader won’t accept configuration cards.
Cycle power again for an additional 10-minute window.

2. Present BLE_Mode control card

Note:

1-beep indicates reader was set as a CSR-35P reader (presentation mode)
2-beeps indicate reader was set as a CSR-35L reader (long range mode)
Readers can be toggled back and forth between the two configurations

Read range settings for CSR-35L (long range mode) reader

1. Configure reader to the CSR-35L long range mode

Note:

Not applicable when reader is in the CSR-35P (presentation) configuration

2. Present the BLE_Range_Setting control card as many times as necessary to select the read range option desired; setting indicated by the number of beeps outputted by the reader.

Read Range Options:

Short: 1-beep = up to 12-inches
Medium: 2-beeps = up to 7-feet
Long: 3-beeps = up to 15-feet
Max: 4-beeps = up to 50-feet

Please note that all mobile devices are designed differently, and read ranges may vary due to component differences, BLE signal strength, phone cases, amongst other factors. Please contact Farpointe’s Customer Support team if you have any questions.

How do I change Wiegand Output Mode on Amano readers?

Let’s start by saying that the default Mode 2 option on the reader is typically going to work on most installations. If you are using any Amano credentials (tags, fobs, quad transmitters, etc.), or are using popular third party credentials, you will likely not need to change anything on the reader output. That being said, you may find yourself needing to allow the parity bits to be sent through to the terminal or module from our reader. Or maybe you want to limit the amount of bits sent to 26. In those cases, you may need to change the output mode.

Amano Wiegand Readers offer four different Output Mode choices:

Mode 1 (1 Beep): 26-bit, HID Normal
Mode 2 (2 Beeps): 44-bit, HID Normal (Default)
Mode 3 (3 Beeps): 26-bit, HID Raw
Mode 4 (4 Beeps): 44-bit, HID Raw

Setting the Wiegand Mode

The Output Mode can be selected by doing the following:

Remove the Backing Plate from the Wiegand Reader.
Short circuit Pin 4 and Pin 5 (as shown in Figure 6) using the 2-Way Programming Pin supplied with the reader.
Power up the Unit.
Remove the 2-Way Programming Pin after hearing the number of beeps corresponding with the required mode (Refer to page 10 of the manual or the above table for Wiegand Output Modes available)
Replace the Backing Plate.

NOTE: The number of beeps on power-up indicates the selected Output Mode.

Within three seconds, press Button 3 to change the Modulation Mode
On pressing Button 3, the LED indicates the new Modulation Mode selection:
- Continuous red LED indicates Quad Transmitter is now OOK Mode

How do I factory reset the EC2 (400i) controller?

Caution!

The following procedure will reset an EC2 (400i) controller to its factory default settings. This includes the IP address and typically the firmware version shipped with the unit. If you assign an invalid IP address to the AXP400i Controller, you may not be able to communicate with the unit. If you have upgraded the controller’s firmware since installation, ensure that you check the version before and upgrade again immediately after this procedure is complete and upgrade as necessary.

Restore the Controller’s factory default settings as follows:

Remove the lid of the controller by removing the six screws securing it to the base.
With power applied to the AXP400i Controller, place a link across the pins of the Factory Default Jumper Link (LK4). (See the image below for board layout)
Observe the Ethernet and CPU Diagnostic LEDs as they switch OFF then ON signaling that restoration has taken place. To ensure the factory default has been applied, please leave the jumper in place for 60 seconds or longer.
Remove the jumper.

The network parameters will now be reset to the following:

IP Address: 192.168.100.1

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

DHCP will be ON

*If you have upgraded the Controller’s firmware since initial installation, you may have to upgrade again immediately after this procedure is complete. The silver sticker on the EC2 (400i) controller unit should reflect the shipped firmware version.
