5d. Pressing “3” will output all data, whether or not there is a card present. This mode can be used to monitor
electrical noise in the environment. To optimize the read performance, this output should show no data when
no cards are present ( all zero’s). The output for a system configured with 8 channels will look as follows:
CH 1 0 0
CH 2 0 0
CH 3 0 0
CH 4 0 0
CH 5 0 0
CH 6 0 0
CH 7 0 0
CH 8 0 0
CH 1 0 0
CH 2 0 0
CH 3 0 0
5e. If any other hit information is being displayed (numbers above 0), the system is detecting noise that
will interfere with the card read performance. If there is additional data being displayed, press “0” to stop the
serial output. If the output looks just as the sample output above, skip down to 12h below. If there is noise
reported on all channels, the power supply and associated system cables may be generating noise.
Disconnect the Power supply and run the system on a battery if possible, to determine if the supply is the
problem. If there is still noise on all channels, the noise may be injected by other cables or wiring in the
vicinity. Try to separate other cables and/or power down non-associated equipment to find the cause by a
process of elimination.
5f. If the noise is reported on specific channel(s), observe which channel is being effected, and check to make
sure all coax connections are tight for that channel. Check for any “electrical noise generators” in the vicinity
of the Reader as described in the Troubleshooting Guide - low read range. If there are no noise
generators in the vicinity, dismount the Reader and move it away from the wall with an extension cable.
Rotate the Reader slowly as if it was a radar antenna, and monitor the hit information on the terminal to see if
it disappears when the Reader is rotated. This checks for radiated noise in the vicinity. If there is noise in all
positions, the noise is conducted into the controller somewhere along the cables of the system. Try to
separate other cables and/or power down non-associated equipment to find the cause by a process of
elimination.
5g. If the noise is consistent and cannot be avoided after carrying out the steps above, an adjustment is provided
on the Controller board, under the large cover panel. Remove the large cover panel, press “3” on the
terminal, and observe the noise as it scrolls on the screen. Monitor the DC voltage on the test point labeled
TP2. Connect the ground of the meter to the test point labeled A.GND. TP2 is set for 7.0 volts at the factory.
Adjust R1746 (located directly below the A.GND test point) slowly counter clock-wise (CCW) until the noise
has stopped showing up on the terminal display. Do not turn above 8.5 volts. The higher voltage will result in
a slightly lower read range for Schlage cards, but it will eliminate the effects of electrical noise on read
performance.
5h. If the output appears as in 12d above, some read range improvement may be possible; the following
adjustment will optimize the read range for Schlage cards. Remove the large cover panel, press “3” on the
terminal, and observe the scrolling data. Monitor the DC voltage on the test point labeled TP2. Connect the
ground of the meter to the test point labeled A.GND. TP2 is set for 7.0 volts at the factory. Adjust R1746
(located directly below the A.GND test point) clock-wise (CW) until noise begins to add hit information to the
scrolling data. Back-off about .2 volts to leave room for error. It can be adjusted below 7.0 volts as long as
there is no extra noise observed on the terminal screen. This adjustment can be as low as 6.5 volts. The
lower it can be adjusted without introducing extra hit information, the longer the Schlage card read range will
be.
6. Optional Led and Beeper configurations
6a. Configure the DIP Switches SWB, SWG and SWR. These switch blocks have numbers on each position (1
through 8), that refer to the Reader channel number. The SWB DIP switch controls the function of the
Beeper when a card is read. “On” indicates the beeper will beep when any card is read. The beeper is
Disabled in the “Off” position. The SWG DIP switch controls the function of the Green LED when a card is
read. “On” indicates the LED on the Reader will flash green when any card is read. The Green LED is
disabled in the “off” position. The SWR DIP switch controls the function of the Red LED. “On” indicates
that the Red LED will be normally on and will toggle off momentarily when ever the Green LED is turned on.
