QUICK START GUIDE
WRR-44 RANGER® LONG-RANGE 433-MHz 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.
Introduction
Long-Range Transmitters and Receivers with an integrated receive antenna
comprise Farpointe Data’s high frequency, long-range
identification solution is known as Ranger. Intended for security access
control applications, Ranger’s wireless communications are based upon a
secure, digital, anti-playback routine. The four-channel Ranger Receiver
(Channels A, B, C & D), model WRR-44, allows Ranger Transmitter data to be
sent over four separate Wiegand outputs. Formatting of the Wiegand output is
dependent upon the data encoded on each individual Ranger Transmitter.

Cable Requirements
24 AWG minimum, multi-conductor stranded with an overall foil shield, for example, Belden 9540 or similar. Per the SIA’s Wiegand specification, the maximum cable length is 500 feet (152.4 m).
Output Formats
Wiegand (industry standard 26-bit Wiegand and custom Wiegand formats).
Grounding
Shield (drain) continuity must run from the Receiver to the access panel. Further, the shield and Receiver ground must be tied together at the access panel and must connect to earth ground at one point only.
Power
The power required is 12 VDC nominal at 120 mA. The Receiver may be powered by the access panel. A linear power supply is recommended for the best operation.
Mounting
The Receiver may be mounted indoors or outdoors. The base of the enclosure includes a drill template providing mounting provisions to a wall box (standard North American and European), as well as predrilled holes in the four corners allowing mounting to a flat surface. Use supplied #6 mounting screws, or equivalent security screws, for installation.
Read Range Adjustment
As shipped, the Receiver is set for the maximum read range, which is nominally up to 200 feet (61 m). For optimal read range, it is important that the 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. Read range may vary for each installation. Read range may be reduced by gently adjusting the Receiver’s range pot in the counter-clockwise direction.
External LED Indicator
Refer to the information below for an explanation on the Receiver’s external LED indicator operation:
| LED State | Description |
|---|---|
| Green | Initial power-up |
| Amber | Normal powered on state |
| Flash Green | An activated Transmitter button press has been received and |
processed
Flash Red| A non-activated Transmitter button press has been detected
Off| Receiver is not powered on or failed to power up successfully
Antenna Switch
As shipped, the Receiver’s Antenna Switch is set in the INT (internal) position. Read range can be extended using a separate, external antenna attached to Receiver’s on-board 6.19 mm SMA jack connector. If a separate, external antenna is used, then the switch should be set in the EXT (external) position. For installations requiring a separate, external antenna, please refer to the WRR-44 External Antenna Reference Document.
Beeper Switch
As shipped, the Receiver’s Beeper Switch is set in the ON position. If the
installation technician prefers to disable the beeper and
External LED Indicator, then the Beeper Switch should be set in the OFF
position.
10-Pin Terminal Block
Refer to the information below for cabling to the Receiver:
AD0: Button One, Wiegand Data 0, Channel A.
AD1: Button One, Wiegand Data 1, Channel A.
BD0: Button Two, Wiegand Data 0, Channel B.
BD1: Button Two, Wiegand Data 1, Channel B.
CD0: Button Three, Wiegand Data 0, Channel C.
CD1: Button Three, Wiegand Data 1, Channel C.
DD0: Button Four, Wiegand Data 0, Channel D.
DD1: Button Four, Wiegand Data 1, Channel D.
GND: Power, 0VDC (Ground).
+VDC: Power, 12VDC Nominal.
NOTE: Apply positive voltage only to the +VDC Pin on the Terminal Block.
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.
