Description
AWID’s MR-1824 Proximity Card Reader is a high-power reader for mid-range proximity reading distance, in a small self-contained package. Read range with cards is up to 24 inches. (Read range varies, depending upon the tag used and local conditions.) The MR-1824 reader is used frequently in parking facilities, for driver identification and vehicle access.
Metal-Compensation This reader is available in an optional MR-1824MC version, which includes metal-compensation. It has best read range when it is mounted on a metal surface at least as large as the reader (8 x 8 inches). Mount the MR-1824 version at least 4 inches from all metal for best read range.
Installation The MR-1824 reader is fastened by 4 screws on any non-metal wall or other surface. The MR-1824MC reader starts by fastening the ferrite plates behind the reader’s plastic base to the metal surface, and then fastening the reader’s cover to its base. When installing the reader on a pedestal, either mount the MR-1824 on a 4-inch-thick plastic housing as a spacer from the metal, or mount the MR-1824MC on a metal-plate adapter between the reader and the flange on the pedestal.
