Instruction RFID Manual
Instruction RFID Manual
Version 2.01
This manual contains information for programming the RFID tag reader security
software included in software version 2 only (v2.32 or above)
Requirements
The following shows requirements for programming the RFID tags:
1. Tag programming can only be done from the master board (COP).
2. Group – Only one master COP allowed per group. All other car COP’s are classified as
slaves.
3. Simplex – The COP board must be a master.

1. Plug the reader into the COP Drive port using a standard CAT5 cable.
2. Turn on Dip Switch #2. [This will be left on when programming or using the RFID reader].
3. Turn on Dip Switch #3 (#2 & #3 are now on) and swipe a tag across the reader. This will
program that tag as the Manager Tag which will be needed to program the User Tags.
4. Turn on Dip Switch #4 (#2, #3 & #4 are now on) and swipe the Manager Tag (programmed
in step #3). This will delete all tags that may be programmed in system, including the new
Manager Tag programmed in Step #3.
5. Turn off Dip Switch #4 and swipe a tag across the reader reprogramming it as the new
Manager Tag.
6. Turn off Dip Switch #3 (#2 is the only switch that will stay on). Now you’re ready to
program the User tags.

3. Press the DCB button. The reader should now go to “Waiting for floor permissions” with
the red and green LEDs flashing. Perform step “a” or “b” below.
a. Press the Car Call Button(s) for each floor that this tag will unlock when swiped
b. Pressing the DOB during this phase will toggle between giving permission to all or no
floors.
4. Press the DCB button to save tag’s programming and reader goes back to Programming
Mode.
5. Repeat steps 2~3 for each tag to be programmed.
6. When finished programming, and while in Programming Mode, press the DOB to exit
programming mode. This will be done when the LED is solid green with a brief red flash.
The LED should go to solid red which means it is in normal operation mode waiting for a
tag swipe.
DCB on floor permission: Save floor permissions and go back to beginning of programming
mode waiting for new tag.
1. The Door Open Button (DOB) and Door Close Button (DCB) handle several functions when
programming the RFID.
a. DOB
i. DOB in Programming Mode: Exit programming mode
ii. DOB when displaying tag ID or after manually entering ID: Deletes tag
iii. DOB when on floor permissions: Toggles between giving permission to ALL or
NONE floors
b. DCB
i. DCB in Programming Mode: Allows programmer to manually enter a tag ID (001,
002, etc. - see table on previous page)
ii. DCB when displaying tag ID: Advances to “waiting for Floor permissions”
iii. DCB when “waiting for floor permissions: Saves Permissions
USING THE RFID USER TAGS
LED Patterns – Operation
Solid Red Normal – Waiting for tag swipe
Solid Green Tag recognized – Unlocking floors programmed for tag
Red Blinking Unrecognized tag
General Information
Up to 585 tags are supported. Upon power up the master broadcasts tag #1, then #2, #3, etc…
Any slave COPs on the network will save the new broadcasted tag if it is different than its own
local copy.
Worst case update time for a slave (subsequent car COP boards) can be 15-20 minutes after
programming with 2 or more cars if all 585 tags are programmed.
