Overview

The BlueCard Inductive Guard Tour Reader is a device designed for collecting patrol information at set points and uploading it to a PC for processing and verification. It utilizes inductive data collection (RFID) and single-chip manufacturing technologies, offering convenient operation without the need for buttons, as it automatically detects and reads radio-frequency ID cards.

Function Description:

The primary function of the BlueCard Guard Tour Reader (BP-2002S and BP-2002F models) is to collect patrol information, including route, guard, location, time, and events, from designated checkpoints. This data is then uploaded to a PC for further processing and verification, enabling efficient management and monitoring of security patrols. The BP-2002S operates by automatically turning on to read a card when it is within range and then shutting off once the reading is complete. The BP-2002F model offers the same core functionality but includes an LCD display window, which shows the last four digits of the signal card's hexadecimal ID number after a successful read, a feature useful for status inquiry. Both models indicate a successful reading with four flashes of a red indicator light and a single "beep" sound.

The device can also function as a standard signal card reader for various applications.

Usage Features:

  • First-Time Usage: Before initial use, the reader must be connected to a PC, and the software must be started to calibrate the reader's internal clock. It is recommended to wait for automatic shutdown after calibration, then initialize the reader to clear any useless records.
  • Turning On and Off: The system automatically turns on when a valid signal card is in range for reading and automatically turns off once the reading is complete.
  • Reading Cards: To read a card, position it in front of the blue reading head. A successful read is indicated by four red indicator light flashes and a "beep" sound. The BP-2002F model will additionally display the last four digits of the card's hexadecimal ID.
  • Data Upload: Data can be uploaded via various communication stations (BS-1000, BS-2000, BS-3000, BS-4000/BS-4000m, BS-6000). For example, with the BS-1000, the reader is placed in its indentation, ensuring the reading head is between the status lights and its top is flush against the inside edge. The "Connect" window in the PC software initiates the automatic upload process.
  • Signal Card Reading Interval: The interval between signal card readings should be longer than 5 seconds.
  • Post-Communication Readiness: After communicating with the PC, the BP-2002S becomes capable of reading signal cards after 5 seconds.

  • BP-2002F Display: LED Light Flashes Continuously: Low battery, needs changing.

Troubleshooting:

  • Failed to Scan Signal Card:
    • Wait 5 seconds after PC communication before scanning.
    • Ensure the card was not read within 5 seconds of the previous reading.
    • Reader memory may be full; upload data.
    • Battery may be low; change battery.
  • Failed to Communicate with PC:
    • Check if PC software is open and configured for BP-2002S communication.
    • Ensure the BS-1000 wireless communication station is properly connected and found by the software.
    • Verify the BP-2002S is correctly placed on the BS-1000.
  • Data Uploaded, but No Data in Shift Report/Patrol Details:
    • Data upload indicates proper reader function. Check "Basic Report" for data. Use "Reprocess" function to populate Shift Report and Patrol Details.
  • Failed to Calibrate Reader Clock:
    • Initialize the reader, then calibrate the clock. Important: Initialization removes all saved records.
  • Hardware Error (1 beep and 1 flash during PC communication):
    • Return the reader to the manufacturer.

Maintenance Features:

  • Battery Replacement (CR123A):
    1. Lift the label from the battery cover.
    2. Two round depressions will be revealed.
    3. Use needle-nosed pliers to hold the depressions and turn the battery cover counter-clockwise.
    4. Once opened, note the silicone-waterproofing ring's location. Replace if damaged. Ensure the battery's cathode (negative end) faces outwards.
    5. Remove the battery and the silicone shock-absorption pad from the compartment wall.
    6. Create a circuit between the round metallic contact at the bottom of the compartment and the compartment wall for 2-5 seconds.
    7. Replace the silicone shock-absorption pad, the new battery, and the battery cap. If the reader beeps continuously with LED flashing, it's resetting. Wait one minute, then test. Calibrate time using software before further use.
    8. Use pliers to install the battery cover, ensuring the notch aligns with the inside tubing and the cover is flush with or below the notch.
    • Note: BP-2002S-V uses the same battery replacement procedure.
  • Battery Usage Guidelines:
    • Always follow the battery manufacturer's directions.
    • Do not disassemble, recharge, short circuit, or expose to high temperatures or fire.
    • Refer to the equipment manual for battery pack information.
    • Low battery can cause the reader to shut down and stop reading checkpoint cards.
    • Battery life varies with age, usage, type, and brand.
    • DANGER: Keep battery pack away from fire, do not expose to temperatures >60°C (140°F), do not leave near a heater or in a hot car, do not disassemble or modify, and do not drop or knock it.
