2.2.4 - VEHICLE TYPES
• All passenger car types: A single LR-3000 reader works for coupes, sedans, SUVs, trucks and motorcycles.
2.2.5 - READER MOUNTING AND POSITIONING
• If the reader is mounted beside the lane, choose the left side of the lane when possible, because this side is easier for the driver to
judge the vehicle's location relative to the left edge of the lane.
• Mount the reader on an adjustable bracket at a height of about 6-8 feet.
• Either right or left side mounting locations works. Plan your project keeping in mind the location of your power source and Access
Control System in reference to the gate and lane.
• If the reader is above the lane, the reader must be no higher than is required for vehicle clearance — typically less than 10 feet above
the lane, unless the tags are mounted high on the vehicles.
• Mount the reader on an adjustable bracket at the lowest height that assures safe clearance.
• Aim the reader at the tags in the desired read zone - about 15 feet from reader to credential as the vehicle approaches the reader.
• Adjustable bracket: The reader may need to be adjustable for both "pan and tilt" for proper aiming. (LR-MB-0-0) (11 inch long arm,
with a two-axis adjustable head).
2.2.6 - POWERING THE READER
• For each LR-3000 reader, provide an independent DC power supply that is not used to power any other equipment.
• Quality: The power supply should be regulated, switching power supply.
• Voltage: Voltage at the reader must be between 7 volts and 15 volts DC.
• Current: For typical 12 volts to 13.8 volts supply, the current rating must be 2.0A (minimum) or more (3.0A nominal) with a switching
power supply.
2.2.7 - CABLE
• Power: 2 conductors in shielded cable. Use 18 to 22 gauge wires between the reader and the power supply.
• Data: 3 conductors for either Wiegand interface or RS-232 interface. Use 18 to 22 gauge wire. For Wiegand, use multi-conductor
wires — not twisted pairs.
• Other specifications: Overall 100% shielded, Stranded wire, Color-coded insulation. Maximum length — 500 feet for Wiegand data
and power. Up to 75 feet for RS-232 data at 9,600 bits per second (up to 500 feet with certain terminal equipment).
2.2.8 - ACCESSORIES
• LR-TEK Support Kit: Recommended to have. LR-TEK can better support the installer if the kit is at the site.
• Documents: The complete LR-3000 Installation & Owner's Manual is preferred to be at the site with the installer.
