QUICK START GUIDE
433-MHz RANGER®LONG-RANGE
WRT-2+/WRT-4+/WRT-2M WIRELESS RADIO TRANSMITTERS
This Quick Start Guide is intended for experienced installation technicians. It is a basic reference to ensure all installations 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 Ranger. Intended for security access control applications, Ranger’s wireless communication is based upon a
secure, digital, anti-playback routine. Ranger Transmitters are available in two- or four-button configurations, with each button corresponding to
its own Wiegand output on the Ranger Receiver. Each Transmitter includes an integrated red LED, used to indicate both positive button press and
battery strength.
The WRT-2+ and WRT-4+ Transmitters are also equipped standard with a potted proximity or contactless smartcard module allowing the
Transmitter to also be used as a close-range access credential. These Transmitters ship standard with a proximity module offering technology
support of certain Pyramid Series Proximity®, HID®or AWID®standard 125-kHz proximity readers, or with a contactless smartcard module (such
as MIFARE®Classic 1K or 4K, as well as DESFire EV1 or EV2) offering technology support of certain Delta®Contactless Smartcard Readers. The
WRT-2M Transmitter does not include a proximity or contactless smartcard module. Instead it can be fitted with an adhesive disc tag, such as
Farpointe’s model PDT-1—that adheres to the back of the Transmitter—which also allows it to be used as a close-range access credential. Disc
tags, which are sold separately, are available in the same proximity or contactless smartcard formats as noted above.
2.0 Transmitter Layouts
3.0 Output Formats
Transmitters are sequentially coded in either the industry standard 26-bit Wiegand format or custom Wiegand formats, with exact number
sequences. As a cross reference the Transmitters’ internal ID number is printed on the ID label found on the back of the Transmitter. Specific
coding details, including format, facility code, and ID range can be found on the Transmitter shipping box, as well as the shipment’s packing list.
4.0 Time-Out
Ranger transmitters make use of a time-out feature to preserve battery life and prevent interference with other transmitters on the field. When a
button is held down continuously the transmitter will transmit the code once and shutdown and will power up once the button is released.
5.0 Battery Replacement
Transmitters include a replaceable CR2032, 3.3V, lithium battery1. The battery should be replaced when a button press does not result in a flash
of the LED, reliable read range, and/or an output from the Receiver. To replace the battery, follow the directions below:
1. Using a coin, place it in the gap (2-piece unit) near the key ring holder and twist to pop the transmitter open.
2. Remove the old battery2.
3. Insert the new CR2032, 3.3V, lithium battery. Be sure the plus (+) side of the battery is facing up (visible when installed).
4. Snap both pieces together.

Read range between the Transmitter and Receiver depends on the Receiver model being used. Please review the Ranger Receiver datasheet for
more information.
7.0 Troubleshooting
Issue/Possible Cause Corrective Action
No data received/Transmitter not enrolled Transmitter must be clicked twice to be learned by the Receiver upon initial Receiver power up
Short read range/Receiver potentiometer Adjustable potentiometer should be set to the maximum setting (certain models only)
Some buttons not working/Receiver capability Receiver Model WRR-22 only works with buttons 1 and 2
Prox insert not working/Compatibility Support with HID®and AWID®125-kHz Proximity Protocol readers must be requested on PO
With WRT-2M, does not include a proximity or contactless smartcard module. Adhesive disk
tags are sold separately.
Red LED does not flash upon button press Check that battery is installed correctly and is not dead (fully discharged)
Should any of the corrective actions mentioned above not improve performance, please contact Farpointe directly.
1. This lithium battery is widely available, and commonly used in electronic devices, including cameras and remote controls.
2. Dispose of the battery according to local requirements. Recycle when possible.
3. For best performance the Transmitter should be used as far from interference sources as possible. These sources may include, but are not limited to, large metal
obstructions, such as duct work and appliances, as well as magnetic fields and radio emissions.
