2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Metra Wristband Capturer is a retaining module for Metra RFID wristbands. It is integrated in different Metra MEW products such as Tripod Turnstile and Turnstile Access Terminal.

Ticket retain feature allows re-using of various tickets. For that innovative feature Metra has developed patented in 1998 contact-less “Wristband Capturer” (WBC) together with contactless RFID Wristband.
RFID ISO reader reads ISO 15693, ISO 14443A, ISO 14443B and Mifare compatible RFID media. The Metra Wristband Capturer grants the exit signal only when the ticket is successfully erased and retained. This dramatically cuts costs of the system operation and the chance of fraud. A ticket will be retained under following conditions:
· Retain request written on it/assigned to it. · It is presented to the retaining device.

3 CONNECTIONS

There is a single connector dedicated to power and data (LIN) connection.

*NOTE: Pay attention not to mix MEW and CAN WBC connection.

5 SIGNALIZATION

While reading RFID wristband BLUE LED signals normal operation accompanied with short beep and appropriate direction light signal. In case approached RFID wristband is denied or error occurs during reading, LED blinks fast in RED for 2 seconds and RED cross appears on semaphore. It’s accompanied with 2 second beeping acoustic signal.

6 DIP SWITCH SETTINGS

For normal operation all 4 DIP switches must be set to `0′ or OFF position. Any other setting is reserved for special operating / test / debug mode.
To change between different operating modes, use a small flat screwdriver or similar object to push DIP switch pins to desired position.
NOTE Switches #1 through #4 must be set to OFF position (switch down) for normal operation mode.
Special modes of operation

Look up the table for desired application in the coding table below. Set switches #1 to #4 to indicated positions. Use only one application at a time. · 0 indicates the corresponding switch is in OFF position (switch down) · 1 indicates the corresponding switch is in ON position (switch up)

switch # DIP SW1 DIP SW2 DIP SW3 DIP SW4

application TEST MODE enabled. Operation is adapted to silicone wristbands. Debug message is enabled. Automatic capturing of RFID media presented on cover reader.
