C•CURE Watch Installation and Service Guide 1-1
Product Overview
Handheld Reader
C•CURE Watch products use RFID (radio
frequency identification) technology to gather
unique identification data from access control
badges and asset tags. This information is sent to
the C•CURE 800/8000 Access Control System
(host) for customized event handling and database
storage.
The components of a C•CURE Watch solution
include:
• Access badges and asset tags
• Handheld reader
• RF Readers
Access Badges and Asset Tags
C•CURE Watch badges and tags are small,
passive devices that contain a transponder
encoded with unique data. This data is detected
and decoded by RF readers and sent to the host
for processing.
A handheld reader is available for initializing
assets. Asset tags must be initialized before they
can be assigned to specific assets in the host
system.
RF Readers
A C•CURE Watch RF reader is different from a
typical access control reader. It is a “virtual”
component that is comprised of two different
C•CURE Watch components: one or more
antennas and an RF controller. RF antennas can
be connected to an RF controller in a variety of
configurations that represent from one to four RF
readers.
An RF reader protects a door or portal up to six
feet wide by establishing an interrogation zone.
When an access badge or asset tag enters this
zone, its identification data is captured and sent to
the host for processing.
Each RF reader is recognized as a separate door
or portal by the host system.
Access badges identify individuals. When a
C•CURE Watch RF reader detects an access
badge, identification data is sent to the host system
which decides whether to open the door or initiate
other actions based on the privileges assigned to
that individual.
Asset tags are permanently affixed to assets that
the user wants to manage. When a C•CURE
Watch RF reader detects an asset tag,
identification data is sent to the host system which
responds based on the privileges assigned to that
asset.
Antennas
C•CURE Watch products include two types of
antenna which can be configured as part of an RF
reader: RF passage antenna and RF proximity
antenna (not yet available).
Under the direction of an RF controller, RF
antennas transmit and receive radio signals that
enable them to gather data from badges and tags.
This data is sent to the RF controller for decoding
and transmission to the host.
RF Passage Antenna
The RF passage antenna is designed to detect
both access badges and asset tags by establishing
1-2 8000-2803-01, Rev. 1/A Introduction
an extended interrogation zone that makes badge
y
y
and tag detection practically transparent to users. It
does not require line of sight and operates without
any special presentation effort.
RF passage antennas can be installed at doors or
portals to monitor badges and/or assets. A portal is
any location where access is not restricted such
as: halls, passageways, and doors that are not
controlled by the host.
RF Reader Configuration
The RF controller provides a flexible foundation for
configuring RF readers. Each RF reader must
include at least one antenna connected to an RF
controller. However, the RF controller provides
connections for up to four antennas enabling a
single RF controller to represent multiple RF
readers to the host.
RF passage antennas are available in two models:
A and B. Model A RF passage antennas are
designed for hands-free access control
applications. Model B RF passage antennas work
in conjunction with model A RF passage antennas
for applications that monitor assets.
There are many ways to configure an RF reader
using RF passage antennas. The number and type
of antennas and their placement at the door or
portal depends on the size of the opening and the
security goals of the customer. For more
information about configuring RF readers with RF
passage antennas, see RF Reader Configuration
on page 1-3.
RF Proximity Antenna
The RF proximity antenna is not yet available.
The RF proximity antenna is designed to detect
only access badges. It establishes a limited
interrogation zone.
RF Controller
RF Passage Antenna Configurations
RF passage antennas can be configured in a
variety of ways depending on application
requirements and the size of the door/portal.
When four RF antennas are connected to an RF
controller, they may represent one, two, three, or
four RF readers depending on the address settings
selected.

Basic System Operation
The C•CURE Watch system consists of three
major parts: transponder (embedded in tag or
card), antenna, and RF controller.
To read data from a tag/card, the RF controller
transmits a 134.2kHz charging field for
approximately 50ms to an antenna connected to
the RF controller. The electromagnetic field
generated by the antenna charges the tag/card.
The tag/card stores this charge in a capacitor.
Figure 1. C•CURE Watch System Configuration
After the 50ms charging period ends, the tag/card
immediately transmits its pre-programmed data for
20ms, using the energy stored in the capacitor as
its power source. Once all the data is transmitted,
the storage capacitor is discharged, and the
transponder is reset, readying it for the next power
pulse.

synchronization signal and sends it to the next
RF controller (if any).
• Secondary controller operation
Synchronization Circuitry
The synchronization circuitry (7) consists of one
input and one output channel using the RS-422
differential communications protocol. This circuitry
prevents interference from other RFID components
in the area by synchronizing transmit/receive
signals.
Synchronization establishes a daisy-chain
connection between RF controllers operating in
close physical proximity to each other. Every RF
controller operating within 152m (500ft) of another
RF controller must be included in the wiring
configuration (even if they are part of a separate
C•CURE 800 system).
The wiring configuration establishes the first RF
controller in the daisy chain as the primary
controller. The first RF controller in the chain is
identified based on the lack of an input
synchronization signal at the synchronization port
(7). All other RF controllers in the synchronization
daisy chain operate as secondary controllers.
Synchronization circuitry operates automatically
based on installation configuration and system
status:
• RF controller offline
When the RF controller is not powered on or is
being reset, the synchronization signal is
passed straight through to other RF controllers
in the system.
If initialization establishes the RF controller as
a secondary controller, it synchronizes
operation of this RF controller and sends the
synchronization signal to the next RF controller
(if any).
Communications Interfaces
The communications interfaces include the
following:
• RS-485
The RS-485 communications interface controls
the flow of information between the apC and
the CID controller. The half-duplex interface
limits communication to one direction at a time.
The RS-485 interface currently is set by the
system software to operate at 9600 baud, eight
data bits, no parity, no flow control, and one
stop bit.
• On-board Digital Signal Processor (DSP) LEDs
DS1—Flickers when a valid detection occurs.
DS4–Flickers when a partial detection occurs.
A partial detection may be caused by
interference.
• RF controller initialization
When an offline or reset RF controller begins
operating, the synchronization signal continues
to be passed through to other RF controllers
while the system monitors the input signal.
The monitoring process enables the hardware
to determine whether this RF controller is a
primary or secondary controller.
The RF controller checks for proper
synchronization polarity. If synchronization
wiring is incorrect, the RF controller locks up
and the on-board status LEDs flash an error
code.
• Primary controller operation
If initialization establishes the RF controller as
the primary controller, it generates a
