3. Installation

Installation of an RFID reader adjacent to metallic surfaces might alter the

reader’s specifications. To diminish this interference, use a plastic spacer when

mounting the reader.

3.1 General

Figure 1 shows the structure of the reader.

Figure 2: Reader Fixing Mode

Each installation method is selected based on application requirements and
actual location. The user can use the provided template to install AY-U910
reader in more convenient and easier way, but the read distance is a little
short; the situation becomes opposite if using the latter.

3.1.1 1-Shaped Stand Bracket Side-Loaded

In this method, the stand pole installed to the AY-U910 reader should have a
diameter of between 50 and 60 mm and the length of 2.2 m. The pole should
be made of stainless steel with a thickness of more than 1.20 mm.

Use the fastener contained in package box to mount AY-U910 reader to the
top of the stand pole according to actual vehicle type (mainly large car and
small car) and then adjust the height from the center of AY-U910 reader to
lane level to be around 2.0 m (between 1.8 and 2.2 m).

3.1.2 L-Shaped Stand Bracket Top-Loaded

In this method, the L-shaped stand pole (or dragon shape) installed to AY­U910 reader should have a diameter of between 60 to 80 mm. The pole
should be made of stainless steel with the thickness of more than 1.20 mm.

Use the fastener contained in package box to mount AY-U910 reader to the
rail near the center of the lane.

Adjust the height between the rail and the ground to between 3.5 to 4.0 m,
depending on the height of vehicle.

4. Wiring

The unit has two interfaces (Figure 5):

 Power interface
 DB-15 interface

Figure 5: Interfaces

The unit operation voltage is 9–12 VDC, by an independent power supply
connected to the 2-pin power interface.

The DB-15 with RS-232 cable serial connection is used to configure the reader
through the included software (see Chapter 6).

The functions and wiring instructions for the interface are shown in Figure 6.

5. Operation Instructions

After wiring the unit to a power supply and a controller (Wiegand output, D0,
D1, GND), you should test the AY-U910 long-range UHF reader.

To test the reader:

1. Power up the reader. One beep is emitted and then it begins an auto­calibration procedure. After 2 seconds, the reader enters working mode.

2. Present the appropriate type of credential to the reader. A short beep is
emitted, indicating that the credential is read properly.

and then select up to 50 various frequencies from the available

checkboxes.

6.3.4 Data Output Setting

There are three parameters in this part.

6.3.4.1 Interval

Select the rate that the reader uploads credential information to controller. For
example, if you set the interval time to 5 seconds, the reader uploads the
credential information to the controller every 5 seconds, even if the reader
reads the credential many times during those 5 seconds.

The default value is 1 and the range is 0 to 255.

6.3.4.2 Wiegand Format

Select either Wiegand 26-Bit or Wiegand 34-Bit.

6.3.4.3 Start Address

The Start Address is the address (or byte) from which the reader begins to read
the UHF card to determine the output ID.

The default Start Address is 4 and the range is 0 to 9.

6.3.5 Read Mode

The software can configure the reader to work in one of two modes:
Timing mode: The reader reads a credential continually at a reading rate

according to the interval time.
You can either select a value from the

Interval

dropdown or manually enter a

value.
The default value is 200 and the range is 10 to 2550 and must be a multiple of

10.

Trigger mode: The reader starts to read a credential by connecting a red wire
(trigger) and a black wire (ground) at a reading rate according to the interval
time in Section 6.3.4.1. The reader stops after the indicated time as set in the
Read Time spin box.

The default value is 1 and the range is 0 to 255.
