OPTION
The menu “Option” allows you to enable (“ON “ or “OFF”) the “Auto-installing” feature.
The “Auto-installing” feature allows you to register other remote controls from any remote control already memorized in the module.
IMPORTANT NOTE: One remote must be memorized in the receiver.
Memorization of a new remote (Tx)
Place the two remote (“Memorized Tx” and the “New Tx”) next to each other then do the following:

CDVI-A6U48-U4GO-Long-Range-UHF-Reader-38

  • “Memorized Tx”
    Press & hold A+B buttons simultaneously for 3 Sec :
    The LED blinks slowly
    See note #1

  • “New Tx”
    Within 15 sec., press & hold A+B buttons simultaneously of the “NEW Tx” for 3 Sec :
    The LED blinks slowly

  • “Memorized Tx”
    Within 15 sec. press & hold the “A” button of the
    “Memorized TX” for 1 sec.:
    The LED turns off

  • “New Tx”
    The LED of the
    “New Tx” blinks quickly :
    Auto-installing is authorized.
    See note #2

Once the new remote has been “Authorized”, stand next to the receiver and press button A for 1 sec.
The receiver makes a long beep: The remote has been memorized and is ready for use.
It may take up to 6 seconds for the receiver before hearing the confirmation beep of a “New Tx”.

IMPORTANT NOTES :

  1. Must be a remote already memorized in the receiver.
  2. If you press any button of the authorized “New Tx” out of reception range of the receiver more that 15 times, the autoinstalling property stops and the procedure must be restarted.

UHF CREDENTIAL INSTALLATION
Choose one of the six places (A-F) on the windshield as showed in the figure below to install. According to the European Standard, some vehicles with metalized windshield have a reserved area (not metalized) for RFID tags so choose position B.

CDVI-A6U48-U4GO-Long-Range-UHF-Reader-41

For optimum performance, install the UHF credential on the same side of the reader. (left side A or F, Right side C or D and overhead B or E).
NOTE : When there is a metalized windshield, the read range of the reader will be affected.
Please test the performance before using it.

USING AND INSTALLING UHF CREDENTIAL
Regular ISO or Clamshell UHF Credential
Use a card to test reader position for optimal performance.

Attention: the card is very sensitive to the human hand.
The performance of detection can drastically change according to the way of holding the cards. Look at the following images to understand the best way to hold the card

CDVI-A6U48-U4GO-Long-Range-UHF-Reader-44

Hold the card with an outstretched arm, away from the body.
If the card is held near the body the performances can decrease a lot.
A card held in a wallet cannot be detected.
A card in touch with the clothes cannot be read.

UHF Windshield Sticker Credential (ATU48)
The UHF windshield sticker position is similar to the card, as described above.
Best use on the surface of a window or headlights.

IMPORTANT: Once fixed, the UHF windshield sticker cannot be ripped off and reused. Please test the performance before installation.

UHF Licence Plate UHF Credential (PTU48)
Use only for licence plates. Use the screws to fix the tag on the bottom of the licence plate. Please test the performance before installation.

WIEGAND OUTPUT FORMATS
The wireless receiver converts the serial number of the UHF credentials and the remotes (Tx) in Wiegand for-mat. The architecture of the Wiegand signal is different according to the number of bits set ( 26, 30 or 44 bit ).
