WARNING!!!
Clear line of sight between the Radio Frequency equipment is
mandatory. This means that both antennas must be visible to
each other in order to achieve the distances advertised. If
installed with floors or walls between the antennas, distances will
be significantly reduced.
Basic RF and Data installation rules MUST be adhered to:
- Common DC ground must be installed between all low
voltage power supplies. Isolate this ground to ensure NO
earth ground contact is made.
- Supplied DC voltage must be from a well-filtered, approved
power supply. This power supply should meet all FCC and
UL requirements. AVOID REVERSE POLARITY!
- No metal shrouding should place near or around the
antenna or the antenna base. Such shrouding will diminish
the antennas output and the advertised distances will be
affected.
- Shielded wire with a drain wire should be used in all cases
with the drain wire only being connected at the power
supply end to earth ground.
- Wiring methods should be completed in a manner consistent
with local electrical standards.

1 General
900-R Installation Manual
The 900-R is a 900MHz wireless module which is compatible to OEM systems that use
Weigand type readers and door hardware. The 900-R connects spatially separated access
control modules without the use of wires.
Figure 1-1 900-R Overview
900-R functions as a pair with a 900-PRIME. It wirelessly connects a reader, request to exit
button, door contact, door strike etc. to a host reader interface (HRI). It is compatible with up
to a 50-bit Wiegand signal. Customized Wiegand formats are available.
900-R supports 1 card reader interface with 5V or 12Vdc power supply, 3 supervised or 3
unsupervised inputs, 3 selectable form-C relay output, and 1 fixed normally open offline
alarm relay output.

2 Indicators
900-R provides indicators to display its status conveniently. These LED’s allow the user to
monitor the status of the 900-R.
2.1 Power LED (Green)
This LED indicates if the 900-R unit has power. LED lit indicates power. If the LED is not
on, check the power source.
2.2 Offline LED
This LED indicates the 900-R’s RF link status. The LED is off when the module is in the
normal status, or it will be on to show the offline as the relay was triggered and the OUTA
has changed its state.
2.3 Relay Status
There are 3 LED’s to display the relay’s statuses. The LED lit indicates that the relay is
triggered.
2.4 Field Strength Indicator (Receive Signal Strength Indicator)
These LED’s display the RECEIVE signal strength. From left to right, it indicates:
1 LED (Yellow) - Consider an antenna upgrade
2 LEDs (Yellow + 1 Green) - Satisfactory
3 LEDs (Yellow + 2 Green) - Satisfactory
4 LEDs (Yellow + 3 Green) - Excellent
2.5 Data Communication Indicator
These two LED’s should be flashing throughout operation.
RX (Green) – RF module receives the signal.
TX (Yellow) – RF module transmits the signal.
2.6 MC LED
For factory use only.
