LONG-RANGE TAG/CARD READER KIT
DoorKing Part Number
1815-350
The DoorKing UHF tag/card reader is designed as a long range RFID reader using passive tag/card technology. Passive tag/card technology does
not contain a battery in the tag/card so it will never wear out. The long range reader emits an RF signal which powers the tag/card when the
tag/card enters the scanning area of the reader’s antenna. The tag/card relays its Wiegand number back to the reader which reports the tag/card’s
number to the connected access control system. There is an interface module supplied with the reader that eliminates the need to set up the
system using a computer. All necessary settings and adjustments can be made using the DIP and rotary switch on the reader’s control board. It is
an effortless way to open the gate for authorized vehicles. Mount an authorized tag/card on the car that the antenna is able to scan and the gate will
open as the car approaches.
The system will work with 26-Bit wiegand controllers. It uses frequency-hopping technology in the 902-928 MHz band (standard).
The UHF long range reader can operate in two different modes: Timing and Trigger mode which are selectable using SW2, DIP-switch 1 on the
control board.

Inglewood, California 90301 U.S.A.
Modes of Operation
Timing Mode: If DIP-switch SW2, switch 1 is set to the “OFF” position (left), the reader will work in Timing mode. It WILL attempt
to read tag/cards that are within reading range at a rate determined by DIP-switch SW2, switches 2, 3 and 4. See other side for
Timing mode wiring and DIP-switch settings.
Trigger Mode: If DIP-switch SW2, switch 1 is set to the “ON” position (right), the reader will work in Trigger mode. It WILL NOT
attempt to read tag/cards UNLESS the two trigger signal wires are shorted together (car on loop). Connect the dry contact relay
wires of a vehicle loop detector to the loose red and black trigger wires on the long range antenna. See other side for “Optional”
Trigger mode wiring and DIP-switch settings.
Installation
Side View
Make sure cars that have already passed
through the gate will not be in the scanning
area of the antenna.
See reverse side to properly adjust antenna
switches and scanning range.

Tags/Card Placement on Cars: It should be placed on the side of the car
(headlight/windshield) CLOSEST to where the antenna is located. The tags/card
needs to be placed in visual sight of antenna or antenna can NOT read tags/card.
Never place tags/card in a position that will block the drivers vision.

Approximate
Antenna
Reading
Range SW2 DIP-Switches 2-4 Settings
SW2 DIP-Switch 1 Setting
Use the rotary switch (SW1).
The reader will beep once
after each change of range. It
is also a good practice to put
the system into “test mode”
to benefit from the continu-
ous beeping feature while
adjusting the range.
Set the reader to eliminate redundant readings
of the same tag/card at certain time intervals
by using SW2 DIP-switches 2, 3 and 4 (Note:
Switches 5-8 are NOT used). Example: If the
switches are set to: switch 2-ON, switch
3-OFF, switch 4-ON) the reader will read a
tag/card, beep and report it to the access
controller. For the next five (5) seconds, if it
reads the same tag/card again, it will ignore it.
It will not beep or report it to the access
controller.
Set for timing or trigger mode. See other side.
SW2 DIP-switches 2, 3 and 4 MUST be set set to the ON position (right). This will put the
system in test mode. By choosing Timing/Trigger mode on DIP-switch 1, you can test in
either operating mode. Test mode is used to calibrate and adjust the maximum reading
range or maximum distance reader can read a tag/card. In timing test mode, reader sends
out read signals at a default rate of 10Hz. After each successful tag/card read, you will hear
a beep. As long as a tag/card is within range and in sight of the antenna, you will hear ten
beeps per second. This feature helps when adjusting the reader’s reading range, using the
rotary switch SW1. In “trigger” test mode, the same is achieved in the presence of a valid
trigger signal (car on loop).
