PRODUCT OVERVIEW

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

PRODUCT OVERVIEWPRODUCT OVERVIEW

BlueGuard is a Bluetooth enabled access control device providing an output in the form of relay contacts that activate
when an authorized Bluetooth enabled cell phone is within range. Authorization is confirmed by verification of the cell
phones unique Bluetooth ID. The BlueGuard contacts may be connected to a gate operator or other external device to
allow activation. Up to 10 cell phones may be bonded with the BlueGuard for hands-free access.

BlueGuard’s user interface features a secure, magnetically activated switch to place the unit in the set-up mode.
During set-up BlueGuard reads Bluetooth
the cell phone’s keypad by entering a unique PIN. The PIN prevents unauthorized users from accessing the control
functions or bonding with the unit.

BlueGuard installation, set-up and operation are described in the following sections.

QUICK START GUIDEQUICK START GUIDE

1. Connect a DVM or buzzer to the brown and green wires to check continuity, a DVM should measure “open”.

2. Connect the BlueGuard FE to power 12-30VDC or 24VAC (attach the red + and black - wires).

3. The Blue LED will be ON for about 10 seconds.

4. Place the magnet against the BlueGuard housing and continue to hold it there. The blue LED will turn on for 10
seconds followed by a medium flashing for an additional 20 seconds. Remove the magnet during the medium
flashing and the LED will flash faster for 3 minutes. During the 3-minute period BlueGuard is in the Discovery
mode and will be found by your cell phone Bluetooth.

5. Select the Bluetooth menu in the cell phone and verify that the Bluetooth link is ON.

6. Select the Bluetooth menu in the cell phone and select the FIND DEVICES, LOOK FOR DEVICES or similar
function. The phone will scan for Bluetooth devices and upon completion return a list of devices that have been
found.

7. Select the “BlueGuard by EMX”, the phone may ask to bond with this device, select YES.

8. The phone will ask for the PIN. If this is the first phone to be bonded then enter the default PIN 123321.

9. The bonding process will be completed and the blue LED will turn on for 10 seconds.

10. The DVM will indicate contact closure “short” or the buzzer will buzz while this phone is in range.

11. You are now ready to personalize the PIN code, select PULSE or PRESENCE operation and connect the ARM
input if necessary. Refer to the appropriate sections in the Operating Instructions.

INSTALLATION

INSTALLATIONINSTALLATION

The BlueGuard housing is durable PVC, watertight and designed for outdoor use. Bluetooth devices have a specified
range of 33ft. (10 meters) in open air. This range may be reduced by obstructions. It is recommended that BlueGuard
be mounted in a secure location that is not easily accessed to prevent tampering or damage.

Location

Location

LocationLocation

The BlueGuard housing provides a ½” NPT fitting to allow mounting directly onto the top of an operator and a ½”
elbow is supplied for side mounting. BlueGuard must be mounted in the vertical orientation for optimum range.

1. Chose a location for mounting and verify that there are no obstructions in the operator.

2. Make a clearance hole and mount the BlueGuard using the locknuts provided.

3. The joint must be sealed to prevent water from entering the operator. A good quality, outdoor silicone

sealant may be used.

The 4ft. cable provides connections to the operator for power, output and control signals. If additional length is
needed, use the remote gang box accessory available separately from EMX.

POWER
Verify that the available power supply is within the BlueGuard’s supply requirements.

OUTPUT CONTACTS
BlueGuard’s output consists of a set of form C contacts. The common contact is common to both the normally
open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contacts. The NO contact will close when an authorized phone comes
into range while the NC contact will open.

ARM INPUT
The ARM input may be used to disable the BlueGuard until a vehicle is detected. For example, BlueGuard can
be used with an Outside Safety Loop to qualify the BlueGuard’s output with the presence of a vehicle. When
used, it is connected to a spare set of output contacts from a vehicle loop detector (Loop Detector Relay 2).
Connect the ARM input to the vehicle detector relay 2 NC contact and the ARM common to the vehicle
detector relay 2 COM contact. Use EMX DTEK or MVP DTEK in this application. When this feature is not
