This Quick Start Guide is intended for experienced installation technicians. It is a basic reference to ensure all connections are properly made.
1.0 Description
Wireless Radio Transmitters and Long Range Receivers with an integrated receive antenna comprise Farpointe Data’s high frequency, long-range
identification solution known as Ranger1. Intended for security access control applications, Ranger’s wireless communications are based upon a
secure, digital, anti-playback routine2. The two-channel Ranger Receiver (Channels A and B) allows Ranger Transmitter data to be sent over a pair of
Wiegand outputs. Formatting of the Wiegand output is dependent upon the data encoded on each individual Ranger Transmitter.
The Receiver kit includes:
● 1 x Receiver mounted in an IP66 compliant plastic enclosure ● 2 x 3,0 x 16 screws for mounting to a European style wall box
● 1 x cable grommet for weather resistance ● 4 x #6 1-inch Phillips flat head wood screws for flat surface mounting
● 4 x self-captivating M4 screws for lid mounting ● 2 x #6 1-inch Phillips flat head machine screws for mounting to a USA single gang wall

3.0 Cable Requirements
24 AWG minimum, multi-conductor stranded with an overall foil shield, for example Belden 9535 or similar. Per the SIA’s Wiegand specification,
maximum cable length is 500-feet (152 m).
4.0 Output Formats
Wiegand (industry standard 26-bit Wiegand and custom Wiegand formats)
5.0 Grounding
Shield (drain) continuity must run from the reader to the access panel. Shield (drain) and reader ground must be tied together at the access panel and
connect to an earth ground at one point.
6.0 Power
The Receiver may be powered by the access panel. A linear power supply is recommended for best operation. Power required is 8 to 24 VDC at 80
mA (nominal).
7.0 Mounting
The Receiver may be mounted indoors or outdoors. The base of the enclosure includes a drill template providing mounting provisions to a wall box
(North American and European), as well as pre-drilled holes in the four corners allowing mounting to a flat surface.
8.0 Range3
The read range between the Receiver and Transmitter may be adjusted. As shipped, the Receiver is set for the maximum, up to 150 feet (46 m). This
may be reduced to a minimum typically of several feet by adjusting the Range Pot in the counter-clockwise direction4.
1Models include but may not be limited to the WRT-2+, WRT-2+H, WRT-2+A, WRT-4+, WRT-4+H, WRT-4+A, WRT-2+S1, WRT-2+S4 WRT-4+S1, and WRT-4+S4.
2Addresses the risks associated with code sniffing and unauthorized duplication.
3For best performance it is important that the Receiver be mounted as far from potential interference sources as possible. These sources may include, but are not limited to,
large metal obstructions, as well as magnetic fields and radio transmissions.
4The Receiver features a green Range LED that will shine brighter when the detection range is increased, and dimmer when decreased.
