Extra Long-Range Reader
AWID’s LR-2000™ Long-Range Reader is a UHF tag and card reader
used in RFID applications like gate access for vehicles, and physical
access for people. Its electronics and antenna are integrated in
a single compact enclosure. The LR-2000 is optimally designed
for Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) and Access Control
applications such as parking facility gate control in a parking facility.
It also provides identification and access for people at doorways,
wheelchairs at elevators, and gurneys in hospital entrances. The
LR-2000 Reader assures security by use of AWID’s proprietary
encryption for communications between the reader and its UHF
vehicle tags and hand-held cards.
The LR-2000 reader is suitable
for outdoor applications. (A
protective polycarbonate
housing may be required –
see Note below.) The LR-2000
offers price: performance
advantage over conventional
long-range proximity card
and active-tag UHF systems.
The LR-2000 can be combined
with AWID’s UA-612 door
access reader, allowing the same hand-held cards to be used for
both vehicle parking access and door access in buildings.
The LR-2000 operates in the license-free 902-928 MHz UHF band.
It combines effective UHF technology with economical passive
tags and cards, programmable read repetition rate and RF field
strength, and simultaneous Wiegand and RS-232 data outputs. It
can be interfaced with all standard access and AVI systems. The
reader is manufactured in an ISO-9001 certified facility assuring
the highest quality standard. The LR-2000 offers an impressive
combination of single unit construction, small size, and attractive
appearance. Tag reading distance is commonly up to 15 feet and
sometimes more, depending on reader mounting, credential type,
and environment.

ACCESSORIES AND SUPPLIES
• LR-2000KIT Installation Kit – A requirement for all installers. An effective way to
demonstrate the LR-2000, to prove its operation, to measure its performance, to
locate tags, and to aim the reader. A one-time purchase.
• Mounting bracket – Pan-and-tilt adjustable, for aiming the LR-2000 at the tags’
reading location. AWID offers LR-MB-0-0.
• Power supply – Each LR-2000 requires a separate, independent, dedicated power
supply. Ask AWID for specifications. AWID offers PS-12-3.3A-0-0.
• Cable for power and data – Correct cable assures good reader performance. Ask
AWID for specifications.
• Protective housing – To avoid rain, snow, hot sunlight and vandalism, AWID suggests
Model PCH196 Lexan housing from The Housing Company.
• Mounting devices – Consult with supplier for poles, posts, pedestals, bollards,
barriers, etc.
• System components – Consult with supplier for access control package, gates,
vehicle sensors.
• Installation & Operation Manual – Download Manual from AWID’s Web site.
• HH-6600 UHF Handheld Reader – Check codes in tags and cards up to 6 feet
CREDENTIAL OPTIONS
• Vehicle-mounted tags – Tags for permanent or movable applications, inside or
outside vehicles.
• Hand-held cards – Clamshell-type and graphics-type cards (for UA-612 also).
Ask AWID about tag selection and mounting methods.
