Inductive Guard Tour Reader Usage Manual BP-2012S Guard Tour Reader BP-2012F Guard Tour Reader Please read this manual carefully, before starting to operate the reader. ENGLISH
Main Features BP-2012S/BP-2012F Guard Tour Reader employs inductive data collection (RFID), and single-chip manufacturing technologies. It conveniently operates without needing a button, and automatically detects and reads radio-frequency ID cards. The BP-2012S/BP-2012F product is used to collect relevant patrol information at set points such as route, guard, location, time, and events, then upload them to the PC for processing and verification. The main different between BP-2012S and BP-2012F is the BP-2012F has a LCD display window. First-Time Usage Before reading signal cards, first connect with the PC and start the software to calibrate the reader’s internal clock. Wait until it automatically shuts down before performing readings. After calibrating, please initialize the reader to make sure the reader does not have any useless records. 1
Operation Instructions BP-2012S Turning On and Off The system will turn on automatically to perform card reading when it is within the range of a valid signal card.
