IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS For LiPo BATTERIES
It is important to specifically use a Lithium Polymer/Li-ion charger only. Do not use a NiMH or NiCd charger.
Failure to use the proper charger may cause a fire, which could result in personal injury and property
damage.
Never charge batteries unattended. When charging LiPo/Li-ion batteries, batteries should constantly be
observed to monitor the charging process to ensure batteries are being charged properly and to respond
to potential problems which may occur.
Some LiPo/Li-ion chargers on the market may have technical deficiencies and charge the LiPo/Li-ion
batteries incorrectly or at an improper rate. It is your responsibility to ensure the charger you purchased
works properly.
If at any time a battery begins to heat, smoke, swell, or balloon, immediately stop charging the battery and
disconnect the charger, then observe the battery in a safe place for approximately 15 minutes, since the
battery could leak and react with air, causing chemicals to ignite and result in a fire. Since delayed
chemical reaction can occur, it is best to observe the battery as a safety precaution, in a safe area outside
of any building or vehicle and away from any combustible material.

Bench Testing
Basics:
•Before field-installing units, they should be tested at a convenient bench top location. This will make it
easier to verify / change settings and check operation when both units are visible, instead of far apart.
•Handheld Reader and Base Unit should be at least 24 inches apart.
•The Base Unit needs a suitable 8-16 Vdc power supply connected.
•The units as shipped are configured as a matched set and are ready to power up and operate.
•Be sure Handheld Reader is fully charged by connecting the charger cable and charging dock,
plugging the charger into an outlet and placing Reader in the charging dock (approximately 4 hours).
•In general, the Base Unit is installed similar to a fixed reader connected to an access control panel.
•Base Unit contains a single board (see pg. 11).
•Review product manual, including Handheld Reader Features and LED Indicators (pg. 10), and
HHR-6300 Base Unit Pin Layout (pg. 11).
Bench Testing:
1. Run the following wires between the Base Board to a Wiegand port on the access control panel: Data 0,
Data 1, common ground, LED input.
2. Connect a suitable power supply to the Base Unit (8 - 16 Volts dc; minimum of 600mA).
3. Test whether Reader is communicating with the Base Unit's board: Press the Power button on the
Handheld Reader. The Reader's Red LED will illuminate when powered on, and its Blue LED will
blink continuously when the Reader is communicating with the Base Unit. The LED on the Base
Unit's board will also flash green.
4. Test a simulated valid badge read: Temporarily connect a wire to the “LED In” and to a ground pin on the
Base Unit’s Board. While it is connected, the Handheld Reader’s Green LED will be lit and the vibrate
motor will be active. Disconnect the wire.
5. Test the Handheld Reader’s relay control: Press the Relay Control (Vend) button. The Reader will briefly
vibrate and the Base Unit’s Board will emit an audible click. Relay activity can also be tested with a
voltage meter set to continuity mode. Refer to relay voltage rating in the Specifications Table on pg.
3.
6. Once the Bench Test steps are completed, the Base Unit is ready to be installed at its permanent
location, and the Handheld Reader is ready to be used.
Overview: How the System Functions
The Handheld Reader system reads Wiegand RF proximity badges and sends badge data to its Base Unit
through a radio link. The Base Unit, which is installed similar to a standard fixed-mount reader, interfaces
with an access control panel.
An access control panel determines whether the badge is valid or invalid. When valid badge data is
presented, the panel will trigger an LED, Strike Relay output, or both, depending upon the type of panel.

Field Installation
A. Determine Base Unit location
1. The Base Unit should be mounted in a location which allows maximum range between the Base Unit
and the Handheld Reader. Typical maximum range for the wireless connection between the
Handheld Reader and the Base Unit is 150 feet line-of-sight indoors, or 500 feet line-of-sight
outdoors.
2. It is not recommended to locate the Base Unit directly above the area where Handheld Readers will be
used, as communication issues may occur.
3. The Base Unit location must accommodate a wired connection to the access control panel.
B. Mounting the Base Unit
1. Recommendation: Temporarily place the Base Unit at its desired mounting location. Use a battery to
power up the Base Unit and test the wireless connection between the Base Unit and the Handheld
Reader. (See Handheld Reader Testing steps, below.)
2. In general, the Base Unit should be mounted at least 10’ above the ground outdoors, or 5-6’ above the
floor indoors, and should not be mounted directly above the area where Handheld Readers will be
used. If obstacles are present (vehicles, trains, buildings, trees, etc.) choose a location high enough
to avoid interference.
3. A non-metal mounting surface is recommended for the Base Unit (metal surfaces reduce the effective
range between the Base Unit and the Handheld Reader). If metal surface use is unavoidable, space
the Base Unit as far from the metal as possible using a plastic, wood, or other non-metal spacer.
4. The Base Unit must be mounted in the upright position. When correctly oriented, “Cypress” can be
clearly read and the enclosure door will be to the left when open.
5. Remove the backplate and circuit boards from the enclosure before drilling any holes in the enclosure to
avoid damaging the backplate or circuit boards. The
backplate is help in place by 4 Phillips screws at each
corner of the enclosure.
Tools Needed
Drill
Phillips Screwdriver
3/16” Drill Bit (if using wall anchors)
7/64” Drill Bit (if not using wall anchors)

Page of816
6. Install a grommet on bottom of the enclosure using the preformed divot as a guide for the drill bit. See
lower diagram.
7. Drill the mounting holes into the mounting surface.
a. If using wall anchors: Following the hole pattern shown above, use an appropriate 3/16-inch drill
bit to drill holes into the surface with a depth of at least 1.25 inches. Place the wall anchors
into the newly drilled holes.
b. If NOT using wall anchors: Following the hole pattern shown above, use a 7/64-inch drill bit to drill
holes into the surface with a depth of at least 1.25 inches.
8. Use a Phillips screwdriver to mount the enclosure to the surface using the four #8 x 1 inch screws
included with the enclosure. See diagram on page 9.
9. Use a Phillips screwdriver to mount the backplate and circuit boards in the enclosure.

C. Connecting the Base Unit to the access control panel
1. To properly connect Base Unit to control panel, 2 separate Wiegand ports must be available on the
panel.
2. On the HHR-6300 base, connect Data 0, Data 1, common ground, and LED Input to one of the available
Wiegand ports.
3. To power the Base Unit, connect an 8-16Vdc power supply, with a minimum of 300mA of current rating.
D. Testing the Handheld Reader-to-Base Unit connection
1. Be sure the Handheld Reader has been charged for at least 4 hours prior to testing.
2. Press the Power button on the Handheld Reader. Press the “In” gate selection button to test whether the
Reader is communicating with the Base Unit. The Reader's Red LED will illuminate, and its Blue LED
will blink continuously when the Reader is communicating with the Base Unit. The LED on Base Unit
will also flash green.
3. To simulate a valid badge read, temporarily connect a wire to the “LED In” and to a ground pin on the
Base Unit. While it is connected, the Handheld Reader’s Green LED will be lit and the vibrate motor
will be active.
4. To test the Handheld Reader’s relay control, press the Relay Control (Vend) button. The Reader will
briefly vibrate and the Base Unit will emit an audible click. Relay activity can also be tested with a
voltage meter set to continuity mode. Refer to relay voltage rating in the Specifications Table on pg.
3.
5. Test with a valid badge by presenting the badge to the Handheld Reader. If all connections to the panel
are made correctly, the Reader’s Green LED will illuminate and the Reader will vibrate.
Note: If there is no direct line of sight, if obstacles are present, or if additional distance is needed between
the Base Unit and Handheld Reader, a Cypress Repeater unit is recommended. See pg. 16.

ADDENDUM
Handheld Reader Channel and Address Programming
Handheld wireless networks are separated through the use of separate channels. A Reader is shipped
preconfigured to communicate with the paired Base Unit over one specific channel. Handheld Readers
allow for field selection of wireless channel (2-14) using programming cards. The Channel Programming
cards are labeled Channel 2-14. Each Handheld Reader is preconfigured as either the IN Address or OUT
Address, depending on the HHR kit. The Address Programming cards are labeled IN, OUT, and RESET. If it
becomes necessary to configure wireless channel or reader address using the programming cards, follow
the instructions below.
Note: Channel and Address Programming cards are used only with the Handheld Reader, not the Base Unit.
Use low-frequency programming cards with the HHR-3162 and HHR-3166 models. Use high-frequency
programming cards with the HHR-3167 models. HHR-3168 models do not support the use of
programming cards.
To change the channel of the Base Unit
1. Remove power from the Base Unit.
2. Using the diagram on pg. 15 of this document as a reference, modify the DIP switches of the Base Unit
for the desired channel.
3. Apply power to the Base Unit.
4. Observe that the Base Unit no longer communicates with the Handheld Reader.
To change the channel of each Handheld Reader
1. Turn the Handheld Reader on by pressing the power button momentarily.
2. Observe that it is not communicating with the Base Unit.
3. Present the desired channel programming card for a few seconds.
4. The Red LED will not wink when reading the programming cards, unlike when reading credentials.
5. The Blue LED should start blinking indicating that it is communicating with the Base Unit.
Change the address of the Handheld Reader
For Handheld Readers with the built-in In/Out Gate Selection feature, address programming cards are
redundant. If it is necessary to configure addresses using the programming cards, follow these steps:
1. Turn the Handheld Reader on by pressing the power button momentarily.
2. Present the desired address programming card.
3. The Red LED will not wink when reading the programming cards, unlike when reading credentials.
4. Handheld Reader should now be on the address labeled on the programming card and be
communicating with either the Base Unit’s Board A or Board B.
Card Programming - Troubleshooting
For all Handheld Reader steps indicated above, the following error conditions may occur.
- If the Red LED does not illuminate, the batteries may be low and the reader may need to be charged.
- If the desired effect does not occur, present the programming card to the HHR reader again.
- When presenting the programming card to the HHR reader multiple times, make sure the card is at least 1
foot away from the Handheld Reader before presenting the badge again.
- Allow the unit to power off for 1 minute and try again.

Basics:
The Cypress Repeater is used to get around obstacles that prevent a clear line of sight between the
Handheld Reader and the Base Unit. It is mounted similar to the Base Unit. Please review pg. 7.
Installation:
Find a suitable location for the Cypress Repeater Unit between the area where the Handheld Reader will be
used and the Base Unit. There should be a clear line of sight between the Repeater and both units. Mount
the Repeater at the same height at which the Base Unit is mounted, preferably on a non-metal surface.
Connect a power supply to the Repeater.
Once the Repeater has power, the status LED on the main board will stay solid green. The Repeater will now
repeat any signals received from the Handheld Reader and Base Unit. If communication problems still exist,
it may be necessary to relocate the Repeater.
