Quick Startup
NOTE: The two units that are packaged together (banded) are factory paired and will only communicate with each other.
Check Initial Operation
- Connect the 9V battery (included) to the 9V power cable (included)
- Plug the two-position connector into the Wiegand Controller
- Remote Interfaces at the ‘12V’ and ‘GND’ positions on the bottom edge connector
- Once both units are powered up, the green POWER LED should be ON steadily on each unit.
- Press and quickly release the ‘TEST’ button to test communication between the two units.
- One or more of the blue LEDs should light up for one second to indicate that successful communication has occurred.
Perform a Range-Test from the Desired Install Locations
- With the 9V batteries plugged in to each of the units, place them at the desired install location points and perform a Range-Test by pressing and quickly releasing the ‘TEST’ button.
- The received signal strength is displayed for one second on the six blue LEDs with the bottom LED indicating the minimum signal strength and all six LEDs indicating maximum signal strength.
Connect to Permanent Power
- Before connecting each unit to the permanent power source, ensure that it is a 12VDC supply that can source at least 1 ampere to the unit.
- Connect the power at each unit and perform several Range-Tests to check for adequate input power.
Wire the Input & Output Functions
Using the wiring diagram examples here in the support center (LP1501, MR52, SR3) or in the Sure-Fi Operators Manual (pages 21 – 27) for reference, wire the required devices at each unit.
For Best Performance between the Controller and Remote units
1. Power both units with their own dedicated power supply with a minimum of 1A @ 12VDC.
2. Route all cables and wiring away from the area near the Antenna.
3. Do not route cables and wiring over the top of the unit.
4. Mount both units oriented with the antenna at the top of the unit facing upwards.
5. A direct line-of-sight between the units will provide the best signal strength and data transmission.
6. Further range can be enabled by placing the unit at a higher location, such as on a wall/pole.
7. Avoid mounting either unit on metal surfaces or near metal objects, a clearance of at least 12 inches should be targeted.
