LONG-RANGE TAG/CARD READER KIT
DoorKing Part Number
1815-350
The DoorKing UHF tag/card reader is designed as a long range RFID reader using passive tag/card technology. Passive tag/card technology does
not contain a battery in the tag/card so it will never wear out. The long range reader emits an RF signal which powers the tag/card when the
tag/card enters the scanning area of the reader’s antenna. The tag/card relays its Wiegand number back to the reader which reports the tag/card’s
number to the connected access control system. There is an interface module supplied with the reader that eliminates the need to set up the
system using a computer. All necessary settings and adjustments can be made using the DIP and rotary switch on the reader’s control board. It is
an effortless way to open the gate for authorized vehicles. Mount an authorized tag/card on the car that the antenna is able to scan and the gate will
open as the car approaches.
The system will work with 26-Bit wiegand controllers. It uses frequency-hopping technology in the 902-928 MHz band (standard).
The UHF long range reader can operate in two different modes:
Timing
and
Trigger
mode which are selectable using SW2, DIP-switch 1 on the
control board.

Modes of Operation
Timing Mode:
If DIP-switch SW2,
switch 1
is set to the “
OFF
” position (left), the reader will work in
Timing
mode. It
WILL
attempt
to read tag/cards that are within reading range at a rate determined by DIP-switch SW2, switches 2, 3 and 4. See other side for
Timing
mode wiring and DIP-switch settings.
Trigger Mode:
If DIP-switch SW2,
switch 1
is set to the “
ON
” position (right), the reader will work in
Trigger
mode. It
WILL NOT
attempt to read tag/cards
UNLESS
the two trigger signal wires are shorted together (car on loop). Connect the dry contact relay
wires of a vehicle loop detector to the loose red and black trigger wires on the long range antenna. See other side for “Optional”
Trigger
mode wiring and DIP-switch settings.
Installation
Side View
Make sure cars that have already passed
through the gate
will not
be in the scanning
area of the antenna.
See reverse side to properly adjust antenna
switches and scanning range.
