Compact eLink Reader 981-000037-000 1. Introduction The Compact eLink Reader is a detection device usually used as a departure alarm. Compact eLink Reader detects the presence of eXI wrist or asset transponders within a prescribed detection zone. Compact eLink Reader may be used to: • Alert if people or property at risk are near an egress or danger zone. • Automatically open doors or activate equipment when a tag is present. • Indicate proximity of any "tagged" item or person.
Compact eLink Reader 981-000037-000 1.1. Initializing the Compact eLink Reader System The Compact eLink Reader System may be installed without a Wireless Keypad. In this simplest of configurations, a switch may be connected at the 10 pin I/0 plug between pin 5 and signal ground to bypass alarms. The remainder of this manual assumes the configuration includes one or more Wireless Keypads. “Controller” and “Reader” will be used hereafter in reference in place of “Compact eLink Reader”.
Compact eLink Reader 981-000037-000 1.2. Assigning the Keypad to the Controller The Keypad can only communicate to the Controller if they both have the same ID number. Each Keypad and Controller comes with 8-position rotary switch, which is used to set this ID number. Multiple Controllers could be programmed to respond to the same Keypad or multiple Keypads could be used to send commands to the same Controller (their ID settings should be the same).
Compact eLink Reader 981-000037-000 2.3. Wireless Keypad The base plate of the keypad is mounted to the wall with 4 screws. Make sure that the magnet on the back of the base plate is at the upper right corner. The keypad face plate simply snaps onto this base plate. The best position to mount the keypad is usually 8’-12’ away from the protected doorway. The Wireless Keypad can be mounted inside or outside the detection field of the controller.

Compact eLink Reader 981-000037-000 3.2. Detection Field Set Up The primary considerations here are the field shape and strength. The detection field has to fill the area in front of the door all the way to the floor so that no tag can reach the door without being detected. To set up a field, See System Settings “51” Test Mode (pg.14) Start by placing the tag at the range you want for the field at the height a tag is usually going to be found. The tag needs to be detected at least 3’-12’ from the door.
Compact eLink Reader 981-000037-000 3.4. Bypassing / Escorting Patients • Bring the tag to the Wireless Keypad mounted 8’12’ away from the protected doorway (Alarm will sound if keypad is in the detection zone) • Enter in the Bypass Code on the Wireless Keypad (alarm will be silenced if keypad is in the detection zone). • You have 10 seconds to bring the tag into the detection field or the system will rearm itself.
Compact eLink Reader 981-000037-000 The Wireless Keypad is powered by a lithium battery at 3V / 220 mAH. The battery is designed to last for at least 5 years with average of 100 keypad entries per day. When the battery is low on the keypad the “Battery Low” RED light will flash once every 6 seconds, and the Controller buzzer will give a low tone beep at the same time. The battery is easily replaceable by opening the enclosure from the front. 4.
