ParSec Reader Installation Manual   -  Issue:3 - December 1998   -  Page 41. CAUTION - STATIC PRECAUTIONS Some devices used in the ParSec reader are static sensitive. Anti-static precautions must be taken when handling the printed circuit boards. Static discharge will permanently damage the boards.2. GENERAL INSTALLATION NOTES2.1. Reader DesignThe reader is mounted in a 2-part enclosure for surface mounting. The rear casing has 2keyholes and 1 slotted hole for the 3 fixing screws and a 25mm diameter knock-out hole inthe rear face for cable entry.The reader contains two PCB’s for ease of installation and maintenance. The rear BACKPLANEPCB comprises two cable termination blocks, the power supply regulator, 1A fuse, alarmrelay, and two connectors to the front LOGIC PCB. The Backplane PCB will normally remainpermanently mounted after the reader case has been sited and the cables installed.The LOGIC PCB contains the radio receiver, the microprocessor and communications circuitry,and the KEYPIC personality module. All reader adjustment and configuration is performedvia the logic PCB, which is mounted onto the Backplane PCB via two push-fit connectors.This method of construction enables replacement of the logic PCB for maintenance purposesand also makes it possible for the physical mounting and cabling of the reader enclosure andBackplane to be carried out prior to system configuration and commissioning.The reader front cover may be fitted with a recessed security screw.  It is normally suppliedwith a standard M3 screw fitted but alternative M3 “Torx” and Newmark type screws are alsoprovided. For these to be used for installation, you will need a “Torx” type TX10 screwdriver(e.g. RS: 662-585) or a Newmark security driver (Part no SS0001 or RS part 541-983).  Anyattempt to remove the front cover will operate the internal anti-tamper switch which may beset to trigger a local or a remote alarm.There are 2 types of reader.   The model PSR-232-1 has an RS232 port and is normally usedwith TransAsset or other third party asset management software.   The model PSR-W26-1 hasa 26-bit industry standard wiegand card type data output and is normally used with accesscontrol systems. It is possible to convert from 1 model to another by simply changing thesocketed KeyPIC.All the tags transmit at 418 MHz using a power level which in the UK is MPT 1340 licenceexempt by the DTI.  Tags for sale in the USA meet FCC part 15 rules.  For those countrieswhere 418 MHz is not acceptable, for example mainland Europe tags and readers operating ata different frequency may become available in 1999.    All units are CE marked and complywith European EMC directives.   However, to maintain this compliance, it is essential thatyou follow the installation procedures in this manual and in particular use grounded screenedcables where specified.
ParSec Reader Installation Manual   -  Issue:3 - December 1998   -  Page 52.2. Siting the readerThe physical location chosen to site each reader will depend principally upon(1) The area of coverage required for Static Asset Tags (PS-SAT1-1’s).(2) The exit/entry points to be protected or monitored with Portable Asset Tags(PS-PAT1-1’s) and Personnel Tags (PS-PET1-1’s).For 'portal monitoring' with PS-PAT1-1’s and PS-PET1-1’s, the reader should be sited in linewith the centre of the doorway and midway between the top of the door and the ceiling. (Thisis not critical and, in some cases, it may be appropriate to site the reader in a higher positionto deter vandalism.)Where the system is used solely for monitoring unauthorised movement of items protected byPS-SAT1-1’s, the reader should be mounted 0.5m below the ceiling and in the centre of aconvenient wall in the location, to optimise the polar pattern of the receiving antenna.Up to nine of the RS232 type readers can be chained to provide extended coverage of a wideor irregularly shaped area. (For details of reader addressing, see section 4.3.)Notes "DIFFICULT" LOCATIONS(1) The reader antenna has reduced sensitivity to tags from the rear. Where REARDETECTION is a problem, a new type of uni-directional antenna is beingdeveloped.   Contact your supplier or Newmark for more information.(2) The presence of steel girders, metal filing cabinets/office furniture, falseceiling supports and aluminium backed plasterboard in the building structurewill cause reflections and will cause blind areas and hot spots.  If this occurs, itwill be necessary to move the reader to an alternative location, which may beas little as 10 cm away in some cases. Installation survey equipment will beavailable from Newmark in due course.  Radio signals can often travel downcorridors, lift shafts and may even go round corners.  Always try and test thereader temporarily in the intended location first to check that it will workproperly in that location.(3) Peoples bodies absorb the tag transmissions and it is always good practice tomount the reader as high as possible or even facing downwards from theceiling so that bodies do not shield the reader.   In some cases it may benecessary to mount more than 1 reader to provide adequate coverage.(4) The readers are not weather-resistant and so must only be mounted outside inan all plastic suitably rated enclosure.
ParSec Reader Installation Manual   -  Issue:3 - December 1998   -  Page 6CAUTIONIn common with all low power radio frequency based systems, ParSec Universal Readersshould be sited as far away as practicable from sources of electromagnetic interference.It is strongly advised that they should not be mounted close to VDU screens, TV monitors orother sources of radio frequency emission. The minimum recommended separation is 1.5mfrom a 15 inch VDU screen.2.3. Power Supply RequirementsThe reader requires a 12V/100mA, DC power supply, which must be CE approved.The on board voltage regulator allows the input voltage to vary +/- 3 volts from the nominal12 volt supply. The reader is protected against reverse polarity but not voltages greater than16V.It is recommended that power and signal cables to the reader should be separated from 3-phase mains supplies by at least 1m and from single phase mains supplies and all types ofcable runs by at least 0.5m.   Use screened cables e.g. 2-core Belden 8760 for reader power,2-core Belden 8761, 9841 or 9501 for RS-232 and 6-core screened e.g. Belden 9536 forWiegand data and LED drive.  Connect the screen to earth/ground at the remote end.2.4. Communications Interfaces2.4.1. RS-232 Data Port (PSR-232-1 model only)Serial data input and output connections and switch settings are detailed in Section 4.6.1.Full details of the RS-232 protocol are contained in the separate document “ParSec readerRS-232 Data Specification”.
ParSec Reader Installation Manual   -  Issue:3 - December 1998   -  Page 72.4.2. Wiegand Data Port (PSR-W26-1 model only)Wiegand data format allows ParSec Readers to be connected directly to access controlsystems using this standard.  This 26-bit version uses the industry standard format as follows.Bit 1 Even parity on bits 1-13Bits 2 - 9 Site Code as printed on tagsBits 10 - 25 Tag no as printed on tagsBit 26 Odd parity on bits 14-26Connections for use with an InterPoint are shown below.ParSec Reader  InterPoint  FunctionTB1 TB41 1(12V) 12V2 3 (0V) 0V8 4 (R1) D09 6 (R3) D113 7 (RED) Red LED11 8 (GRN) Green LEDSet the InterPoint reader mode DIL switch 5 to 8 all off  i.e. as for a Wiegand card.2.5. External Sensor OperationWith radio tags, it is often difficult to ensure that personnel type tags which transmit every0.6s are only read in specific areas e.g. only near a door.   By using an external sensor such asan infra-red beam or a passive infra-red detector and connecting this into the reader, PS-PET1-1s will be ignored unless the sensor is activated.  See section 4.4.4 for more details.Note current production readers do not support this function.  A field upgrade kit will bemade available in 1999.

ParSec Reader Installation Manual   -  Issue:3 - December 1998   -  Page 11FIG.3 - LOGIC  PCB SWITCH LOCATIONS 3.3. Installing the Logic PCBFollowing installation and wiring of the Backplane PCB, the Logic PCB is installed byplugging it onto the two Backplane connectors. Aligning these connectors requires care andsome practice because you are working blind.  Mis-aligning them can result in bent or brokenpins.  Press the connectors firmly home without exerting undue pressure on the Logic PCB.CAUTIONSThe Logic PCB must only be installed or removed from the Backplane PCB with the powersupply disconnected.Take great care to ensure that the two connectors between the Backplane and Logic PCBsare correctly located. The L-shaped layout of the connectors is designed to assist withcorrect location.Once the two PCBs are firmly mated, refit the 2 M3 screws and washers.4. COMMISSIONING THE READERFigure 3 shows the layout of the switches on the reader Logic PCB which are used toconfigure the reader to its required installation settings.

ParSec Reader Installation Manual   -  Issue:3 - December 1998   -  Page 134.2. Adjusting the Read RangeThe range at which Portable Asset and Personnel Tags is read by the reader is adjustable froma maximum free space range of about 25m down to a about 10 cm. to suit the requirements ofthe individual installation.Notes (1) The nominal 75m long range reading of Static Asset Tags is not adjustable.(2) Tamper alarms, routine reports and low battery conditions are signalled byStatic and Portable Tags at high power (i.e. long range); the Personnel Tagalways signals at low power (short range).The range of portable asset and personnel tags is adjusted by using the Range Adjusting Tag(PS-RAT1-1)4.2.1  Range Adjustment Procedure1. Power on the reader2. Press the Scan Reset button (S6) - the red power LED will flash3. Move to the position where you would like tags to be read and press and hold downthe FIND button on the PS-RAT1-1.  Within about 10 seconds the reader will thenfind the RAT and set the range.  This will be signified by the tone sounder on thereader operating and the left hand red LED flashing.  You can now check the range bypressing and holding down the SEEK button on the RAT.  When the reader sees theRAT it will operate the tone sounder.4. If you  would like to make some minor adjustment to the range you can use the + & -buttons.   Press these keys momentarily and check the red LED on the reader flasheseach time.   Note that very brief presses of less than 0.3 seconds will be ignored.  It isusually very helpful to monitor the reader receiver voltage level with a voltmeter onthe top and bottom pins of the Molex header (PL2) on the left hand side of the LogicPCB.  As you adjust the range you will see this voltage move up or down.   At 5V it isset to maximum range and at 0V it is set to minimum range.5. Use the SEEK button and check the range in different locations in the area where youwant tags to be read.   In all except very large open areas or outdoors, you will findblind spots and hot spots.  This is caused by the radio signals from the tag beingreflected off walls, ceilings, furniture and people.6. Now check the range is correct by using 1 or 2 of the actual tag types you are going touse in that location.  Remember that portable asset tags mounted on metal e.g. laptopPCs will have less range than in free space.   Personnel tags will also have less rangewhen worn close to the body. Use the PS-RAT-1 + & - buttons to make adjustments.It is well worth taking a little extra time and effort to check that the range and readingarea are satisfactory at this stage.  Once you are satisfied with the reading range, pressand release S6 and this will store the range adjustment in the reader memory.  Thepower LED will now show a solid red.   The range setting is stored in non-volatilememory, so it will be retained even if the reader power is removed.7. If at any time you wish to alter the range, you can repeat the above procedure as manytimes as you like.
ParSec Reader Installation Manual   -  Issue:3 - December 1998   -  Page 14Notes(1) Owing to the nature of RF at the frequencies used in the ParSec system, it maybe desirable to carry out the set up procedure a few times to optimise readerperformance to the location.(2) Mounting Portable asset tags on metal surfaces may result in a severe loss inrange unless care is taken to find the best location.  Generally these tags shouldbe located as near to a corner as possible with the arrow on the tag pointing tothe outside edge.  Although laptop computers appear to have a plastic outercase, there is always a metal screen behind the display.   You may have to tryseveral different positions on a laptop before you find one that does not impairthe range.   We recommend that you should always temporarily fit the tag onassets containing metal and check the range is adequate before fixing it downpermanently.   Once you have found the best position on, for example, aparticular model of laptop, you will then be able to fit the tag in the sameposition for all similar models.  Remember to ensure that the tamper switchspring is pushed in when doing these tests.  The tamper alarm always operatesat high power at long range.   Never re-use the adhesive pads on tags.If you have to re-locate a tag then remove it with a twisting action rather thantrying to prize it off or you could damage the tag housing.  Always replace theadhesive pad and always de-grease the mounting surface using methylatedspirits or other de-greasing agent.  The adhesive pads will bond much better tosurfaces if they are pressed down under under pressure for preferably 24 hoursor at least 1 hour.  This can be done by using strong adhesive tape or placing aheavy object e.g. large book on the tag.   Smooth cool horizontal surfaces arebest for good adhesion.(3) The range set using the RAT is designed to compensate for the reduction inrange that occurs when asset tags are mounted on metal or when personneltags are worn close to the body e.g. in a pocket.    You will find that tagsmounted on metal or worn close to the body will operate at a lesser range thanthat set by the RAT.(4) The level of ambient background noise will affect range consistency; whilstnoise filtering is employed in the reader design it cannot filter transmissionsfrom other devices operating at the same frequency.   Typical amongst theseare radio type vehicle locking/unlocking keyfobs and certain types of wirelessintruder alarm systems.  Please refer to the Important Installation Notes  inSection 2.2 ‘Siting the Reader’.(5) If after setting the range, the red power LED continues to flash slowly, then therange setting is invalid.  Repeat the range setting process.
ParSec Reader Installation Manual   -  Issue:3 - December 1998   -  Page 154.3. Setting the Reader Address (PS-R232-1 type only)4.3.1. Reader Address ProgrammingSwitch S2 programs the 'units value' and S3 programs the 'tens value'. Set the required valuesbefore applying power to the reader.  You can set as many readers as you wish to the sameaddress; for example when using several readers to cover a large area. Should the readernumber need to be changed, select the new number then depress the reset switch (S15); thenew number will then be read by the reader software.4.3.2. Sub-system address Programming & Routine ReportsNote – The sub-system address function is not supported on current readers or tags.  A fieldupgrade kit will be made available in 1999.  However hourly routine presence reports aresupported on current static asset tags.  Sub-system addresses are normally only used wheremore than one static asset tag system is used at the same location; it provides 'isolation'between adjacent systems and typically prevents static asset tags on one floor being readspuriously through the floor or ceiling to an adjacent floor.Four sub-system address codes are available and they are set via switches S2/3 on theunderside of the asset tag.Switch 1     -  On/OffSwitch 2/3  -  Sub-System Address CodeSwitch 4     -  Hourly Routine Report On/OffFIGURE  4 - STATIC TAG SWITCH LOCATIONSThe code setting on the reader (switch S13 poles 3/4) must match the setting chosen for theasset tags belonging to that system. Note that PS-SAT1-1 switch 2 corresponds with readerswitch S13/4, and PS-SAT1-1 switch 3 with reader switch S13/3.Notes (1) Sub-system address code programming applies only to Static tags.(2) Portable Asset tags are equipped with the same switch block but switches 2/3 are non functional.(3) Portable Asset tags will also give hourly routine reports if switch 4 is turned ON.   (Not currently supported)(4) If an asset tag is moved or tampered with then the next routine reportwill be about an hour later.   In other words the internal 1-hour timerinside the tag is reset every time the tag transmits.1  2  3  4ONOFFTamper

Indicator LED ProgrammingControl of the reader status indicator LEDs is set by switch S13-2. In its default position -OFF - the LEDs are driven by the internal control lines i.e. amber for the personnel andportable asset tags and green for static asset tag.PowerStaticPortable  Red            Amber         Green            RedFIGURE  5 - INDICATOR LED FUNCTIONSWhen switch S13-2 is set to ON, the LED drive is diverted to the main connector panel wherethey can be controlled by an external voltage source; see Section 3.2, Figure 2 for details ofthe connections. The external source logic is active low.    In an access control applicationyou may wish to use external LED control to indicate if access has been granted, denied or ifthe door is permanently unlocked, locked or forced.4.4.2 Internal Sounder On/OffThe internal sounder may be switched on or off by setting switch S13-1 on or off.4.4.3. Alarm Relay TimeThe reader is equipped with a relay which may be used to trigger external equipment or, forexample, to supply power to external sounder devices.The relay time is set to operate for 5 seconds if any type of tag is read or if the reader tamperis operated. Note that this relay is normally operated when power is applied to the reader.  Ifpower is lost, then the relay will de-operate and activate any external alarm device connectedto it.   To meet alarm system regulations, once the relay has been operated, it cannot be re-operated until a further 5 seconds have elapsed.4.4.4 External Sensor OperationNote – this function is not supported on current product.  A field upgrade kit will be madeavailable in 1999.  This external input is used to prevent any PS-PET-1s and PS-PAT-1 typetags being reported until this input is open-circuited.   It can be connected to any Passive InfraRed, IR beam or any other detection device with a volt-free normally closed contact output.See Section 3.2 for terminal identification.
ParSec Reader Installation Manual   -  Issue:3 - December 1998   -  Page 174.4.5 Setting the RS 232 baud rateThe default RS-232 baud rate is 9,600 with LK2 not fitted.   Fitting LK2 changes the baudrate to 2,400 which allows cable lengths up to 60m to be used between readers; 9600 baud islimited to 15m.4.4.6 Static Asset Tag SensitivityBy adjusting switch S9 it is possible to adjust the sensitivity of the reader to Static Asset Tagmovement. So that small movements by say for example the office cleaner will be ignored,but deliberate attempts to move the asset will be detected. The reader processor resets asensitivity counter every 5 seconds, and the global "sensitivity" of all Static Tags isdetermined by the number of pulses detected within this interval.With switch S9 in position 1, the tag's code will be transmitted immediately it is moved (thisis equivalent to 1 pulse count).  If this is too sensitive try another higher setting.  The standardsetting for the Static Tag is between 3 and 5 counts.  The maximum is 7.  Positions 8, 9 & 0should not be used.5. PERSONNEL TAG OPERATIONPersonnel type tags (PS-PET-1) are supplied with their batteries not fitted.  This is becausethey transmit every 0.6 seconds continuosly as soon as the batteries are fitted.  Fitting them atthe factory would result in some loss of battery life.   Typically they will operate for around14 months before requiring replacement.To use the personnel tag, open the hinged transparent top and fit the 2 lithium coin cells withthe + sign uppermost on to the battery contacts.   You may find it easier to open the lid bygently pushing the long sides away from the grey base.  Note the tag number which is printedon the label on the inside.  If you wish you can replace the plain white card with any standardcredit card sized business card or photo-ID card.   You can also print graphics or text on theplain white card using a suitable die-sublimation type printer.  Contact Newmark or yoursupplier for details of suitable types.   Now keeping the batteries in position re-close thehinged lid until it snaps shut.  Note that the tag will operate with only battery fitted.  This isbecause they are connected in parallel.When replacing the batteries use only the same types e.g. Varta CR2430 or equivalent.CAUTION!Batteries may explode or overheat if incorrectly inserted or short-circuited.   They containlithium which is highly toxic.  Dispose of used batteries in a safe and an environmentallyfriendly way.   DO NOT just throw them in the bin!!  Your local authority may be able toadvise on safe disposal.   This also applies to used asset tags.

Check that you havenot set the range too short; if tags operate when in tamper only this would verify this. Notethat Demonstration units use the site code 63 and will only read tags with the same site code.
