This document explains how to set the read range on a Conekt Reader 

Applies to: CSR-35 


Toggle between CSR-35P (presentation) and CSR-35L (long range) reader modes

1. Cycle power on the reader

Note:

  • There is a 10-minute window for configuration.
  • After 10-minutes the reader won’t accept configuration cards.
  • Cycle power again for an additional 10-minute window.

2. Present BLE_Mode control card

Note:

  • 1-beep indicates reader was set as a CSR-35P reader (presentation mode)
  • 2-beeps indicate reader was set as a CSR-35L reader (long range mode)
  • Readers can be toggled back and forth between the two configurations

Read range settings for CSR-35L (long range mode) reader

1. Configure reader to the CSR-35L long range mode

Note:

  • Not applicable when reader is in the CSR-35P (presentation) configuration


2. Present the BLE_Range_Setting control card as many times as necessary to select the read range option desired; setting indicated by the number of beeps outputted by the reader.


Read Range Options:

  • Short: 1-beep = up to 12-inches
  • Medium: 2-beeps = up to 7-feet
  • Long: 3-beeps = up to 15-feet
  • Max: 4-beeps = up to 50-feet


Please note that all mobile devices are designed differently, and read ranges may vary due to component differences, BLE signal strength, phone cases, amongst other factors. Please contact Farpointe’s Customer Support team if you have any questions.
