FCC CLASS A STATEMENT

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency

energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with this manual,

may cause interference to radio communications. A class A

computing device, as defined in Part 15, Subpart J of the Federal

Communications Commission rules is designed to provide reasonable

protection against such interference when operated in a commercial

environment. Operation of this equipment in a residence is likely to

cause interference in which case the user, at his own expense, will be

required to take whatever measures necessary to correct the

interference.

CDRH COMPLIANCE STATEMENT

This laser barcode reading system complies with Standard 21CFR,

Subchapter J, for Class II laser products as set forth by the Center for

Devices and Radiological Health. Any alteration or adjustment for

Class II laser products is not authorized, and will void certification of

the system as a Class II laser product. Figure 1 on page 6 shows the

type and location of warning labels affixed to the reader in compliance

of the CDRH standard.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This Barcode Reader incorporates features that provide for maximum

safety. However, it must be recognized that any equipment employing

electrical voltage and emitting direct or scattered radiation may cause

serious damage and/or personal injury if improperly handled. The

following are recommended safeguards that should be observed at all

times.

WARNING

Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other

than those specified herein may result in exposure to hazardous

radiation or electrical voltages.

OPTICAL SAFETY

Never stare directly into laser beam. The laser diode is interlocked

with the motor that turns the polygon mirror so that if the motor slows

or stops for any reason the laser will be automatically turned off.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Disconnect the main power line before working on any electrical

equipment. Always use insulated tools.

REQUIRED MAINTENANCE

The BA-220 DualBeam laser window should be cleaned both inside and outside as needed

with a non-abrasive glass cleaner.

The internal reader optics should be cleaned at 6 month intervals with 100% denatured

alcohol and soft material such as tissue or soft toilet paper. DO NOT USE OPTICAL

CLEANING MATERIAL SOLD FOR CAMERA LENSES.

The internal optic pieces to be cleaned are:

1. Each of the 8 sides on the gold mirror wheel in the upper right corner of the reader should

be cleaned using a wet (100% denatured alcohol) tissue followed by a dry tissue. This

wheel is a metal part that is polished to a reflective surface, so use light pressure to

prevent scratches.

2. Below the gold mirror wheel is a small silver mirror to clean.

3. Below the small silver mirror is a glass lens in a silver block to clean.

REQUIRED MAINTENANCE

The BA-440 window should be cleaned as needed with a non-

abrasive glass cleaner. Optical components inside the reader should

be inspected and cleaned at 6 month intervals. These include:

•

Window glass both inside and

outside

•

8 sided gold mirror wheel

(Polygon)

•

Small mirror below gold wheel

(Polygon)

•

“Fisheye” lens in the silver block

below the small mirror

Optics should be cleaned with 100% denatured alcohol and soft

material such as Kleenex® or cotton balls. DO NOT USE LENS

CLEANING MATERIAL or OPTICAL WIPES. These will scratch the

metal of the gold wheel and degrade reader performance. Cleaning is

best accomplished by following these steps:

1. Remove 6 flanged nuts from bottom of reader.

2. Lift hood/cover straight up off of the reader.

3. Clean inside/outside the window glass on the reader hood/cover.

4. Clean all 8 mirror sides on the gold wheel (polygon).

5. Clean the small mirror directly below the gold wheel (polygon).

6. Clean the lens in the receiver block located below the small mirror.

7. Replace Desi-Paks if necessary.

8. Replace the reader hood cover over the unit.

9. Reinstall and tighten the 6 flanged nuts on the bottom of reader.

Do not adjust or remove any hardware not specified in these

directions. Any change to the optical alignment may result in poor

reader performance. If you have questions contact 800-528-9167.

Basic Installation and Setup steps

1. Determine where the Reader will be installed

2. Run wiring to the mounting point for power & communications

3. Pour concrete pad for post mount

4. Secure mounting post and BA-440 DualBeam to the pad

5. Connect power & communications to the reader

6. Place decals on vehicles (the same side the reader will be on)

7. Turn Power Switch On

8. You're up & running

If the BA-440 DualBeam was not set up for your specific installation at

the Factory you may have to configure the Reader after it is mounted

in place. To do this refer to the Operation and Configuration Manual

for details.

Determine where the BA-440 DualBeam will be installed:

Overhead view of Installation

As shown in this figure, the reader should be located 25 feet before

the gate. This allows about one car length (plus a small gap) for

vehicles to pass the reader. It does not matter which side of the road it

is mounted on, as long as the vehicle decals are on the same side.

Always locate the reader and decals on the same side of the car.

25’

BA-440 DualBeam

Determine where the BA-440 DualBeam will be

installed:

The height of the reader above the pavement is very important. The

general rule of thumb is for the bottom of the reader to be 44” above

the pavement where the vehicle tires ride. BAI offers a standard

mounting post that is 38” high. It is intended to be used on a 6” curb or

concrete mounting pad for a total height of 44”.

The reader should be mounted close to the edge of the road or drive

without being in danger of collision with a vehicle. It has a 6 foot

reading distance which will extend out across the road or drive. Traffic

should not pass by closer than 2 feet from the reader. Protective

bollards or barriers around the BA-440 DualBeam are recommended.

In some locations the vehicle drive is very wide, as shown in the

illustration below. In these cases, we recommend painting lane lines

or stripes to indicate where the vehicle must pass by in order to be

read by the BA-440 DualBeam.

What Wiring do I need?

For most applications, there are three basic ways to use the BA-440

DualBeam Reader.

In this situation, the BA-440 DualBeam reader acts as the Access

Control. Barcode decal numbers are programmed into the reader and

set to grant or deny access based on the individual number. The

reader can be programmed via a laptop computer. When vehicles

pass by the BA-440 DualBeam reads the barcode and checks to see if

that number has access. If access is granted the Gd Read relay

contact closes to open the gate. If access is denied the gate does not

open and the Aux Out relay contact will close that can be connected to

an indicator or alarm to indicate that access is denied.

Wiring Needed:

•

2 conductor 18 AWG from reader to gate operator

•

2 conductor 18 AWG copper for 24VDC power connection

Optional:

Shielded 3 conductor 18 AWG for connecting RS232 serial port of

reader to computer. Distance should not exceed 100 feet.

What Wiring do I need?

In this situation the BA-440 DualBeam is connected to an external

Access Control panel by Wiegand communication. The barcode ID

numbers are programmed into the Access Control panel and set up to

have access granted or denied. When the vehicle pulls up to the

BA-440 DualBeam it reads the decal and transmits the number to the

Access Control panel, which checks the database for valid numbers. If

access is granted, the panel opens the gate.

Wiring Needed:

•

Shielded 3 conductor 18 AWG from reader to access control panel

for Wiegand communication

•

2 conductor 18 AWG copper for 24VDC power connection

What Wiring do I need?

In this application the BA-440 DualBeam is connected to a Computer

Security System through an RS232 serial port. Barcode decal ID

numbers are programmed into the Computer Security system. When a

vehicle pulls up to the BA-440 DualBeam reader, it reads the decal

and transmits the number to the Security system. If valid, the Security

system opens the gate.

Wiegand Communication Terminals

Data1

Data0

Comm

Wiegand communication from the BA-440 can be run two different

ways; optoisolated or direct connection. The Optoisolated connection

has several advantages, provided the Access panel or telephone entry

system supports it. To use the Optoisolated connection the access

panel or telephone entry system must provide voltage to the Data0

and Data1 connections on the reader. Be sure to connect Wiegand

communications to the access panel as shown on page 20 before

proceeding with the following test.

To check compatibility with Optoisolated communications connect the

access panel as shown on page 20. With the access panel powered

on, measure from the Data0 and Data1 terminals to Comm with a

voltmeter. There will be about +5Vdc at each Wiegand line when using

access panels that support the Optoisolated connection.

If no voltage is measured from Data0 or Data1 to Ground the

Optoisolated connection will not function. Instead, the BA-440 must be

configured for a direct Wiegand connection. See page 21 for details

on how to configure the BA-440 for direct Wiegand connection.

Optoisolated Connection (Preferred)

The Wiegand output communication terminals are marked as Data1,

Data0 and Common. The normal configuration for Wiegand

communication from the BA-440 is optoisolated, where the reader

does not supply voltage on the Data0 and Data1 terminals and Comm

does not have a direct connection to the reader ground. Voltage and

ground reference is supplied by the access panel or telephone entry

system. Use 18Ga shielded copper cable for runs up to 400’ and

ground the shield at the access system end only.

Once Wiegand communication is connected to the access system,

turn the access system on and measure voltage between Common

and Data0, then Common and Data1. There should be approximately

5Vdc present on the Data0 and Data1 terminals.
