Farpointe Data RER-11 Ranger Edge Receiver
This Quick Start Guide is intended for experienced installing technicians. It is a basic reference to ensure all connections are properly made. Installation and wiring of systems must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
Description
Long-Range Transmitters and Receivers with an integrated receive antenna comprise Farpointe Data’s high frequency, long-range identification solution known as Ranger. Intended for security access control applications, Ranger’s wireless communications are based upon a secure, digital, anti-playback routine. The one-channel Ranger Edge Receiver, model RER-11 natively supports Ranger Long-Range Transmitters with its integrated receive antenna. Additionally, via the on-board Wiegand interface, the Edge Receiver may optionally support a variety of RFID reader and associated card and tag technologies, as well as access applications, including keypads (PIN) and biometrics. The RER-11 offers single location point of control with all configuration done directly on the Receiver, eliminating the requirement for separate mobile smartphone or PC programming devices.

Cable Requirements
For connection to Wiegand interface, 24 AWG multi-conductor stranded cable
with an overall foil shield. Per the SIA’s Wiegand specification, maximum
cable length is 500 feet (152 m).
Formats
Wiegand is supported, including industry standard 26-bit Wiegand, as well as
custom formats with a maximum length of 48-bits.
Grounding
Edge Receiver must connect to earth ground at one point only. Additionally, if
multiple power supplies are used, all ground conductors (“commons”) should be
connected together at one point and then earth grounded at one point only.
Power
Power required is 12 VDC nominal at 30 mA, and should be applied where
indicated on the 8-position Door terminal block (GND and +12V In). If relay is
active, then nominal power is 100 mA. If a separate reader is installed,
current may be higher. Maximum reader power is 300 mA. If more current is
required, a separate power supply should be used. A linear power supply is
recommended for best operation.
Mounting
The Edge Receiver may be mounted indoors or outdoors. The enclosure includes
pre-drilled holes in the four corners allowing mounting to a flat surface. Use
supplied #6 mounting screws, or equivalent security screws, for installation.
To maintain outdoor rating of enclosure when wiring, use supplied Heyco®-Tite
liquid tight cord grips on cables.
Read Range
Read range is nominally up to 100 feet (30.5 m). For optimal read range, it is
important that the Edge Receiver be mounted as far from potential interference
sources as possible. These sources may include, but are not limited to, large
metal and concrete obstructions, as well as magnetic fields and radio
transmissions. Further range varies based on the height a Receiver is
installed, how a user may hold a Transmitter when being used, and where the
Transmitter is being used. Avoid installing Receiver inside metal enclosures.
Read range may vary for each installation.

Connection
The connection must be done in accordance with NFPA 70. Do not connect to a
receptacle controlled by a switch. Connect to a power-limited DC voltage
source.
- Operating Temperature: –40° F to 149° F (–40° C to +65° C)
- Operating Humidity: 5% to 95% relative humidity non-condensing
IP Rating : IP67-rated for outdoor use
TECHNICAL NOTES
-
Garage Door Applications
Wire the RLY/NO and RLY/CMN connections in parallel to the Garage Door Opener push button switch activator. -
If 12VDC can be found within the garage door opener, it is possible to provide power to the Ranger Edge Receiver by this means. Otherwise a separate power supply will be required.
-
A relay timer value of 1 second is typical for this application.
Board Mounting
- The Ranger Edge Receiver can be installed into a third-party device, as permitted.
- Do not mount inside a metal enclosure as this will reduce the operating range of the transmitter.
For information on set-up, please review our Edge Receiver Configuration Reference Document.
