The EX5210R Rugged Exciter is a component of the STANLEY Healthcare suite of
enterprise-level visibility solutions based on standard Wi-Fi wireless
communications for location- based applications. The EX5210R Exciter is
designed for outdoor mounting, providing robust and sophisticated RFID
detection capabilities.
The EX5210R Exciter triggers tags as they pass through a chokepoint or as they
approach the Exciter. Tags in turn transmit a message to either the AeroScout
Location Receivers or to compatible Access Points within range. The Exciter can
activate or deactivate tags, program them, or even instruct the tags to operate
in a specific way (for example, to blink). This provides instant acknowledgment
that a tagged asset has passed through a gate, doorway, or other specifically
defined area. The detection capabilities of the EX5210R Exciter combine
the location features of the AeroScout Location Engine, to make the STANLEY
Healthcare suite the most sophisticated enterprise visibility solution, for various
applications.
Healthcare organizations or enterprises with expensive and mission-critical
equipment can tag valuable assets that are intended to remain within a
specified area. The AeroScout System can track the location of such items and
trigger an alert when they pass through an exit point or enter a restricted area.
Process Control
Manufacturing companies can track the location of equipment, carriers, and the
work-in-process (WIP) inventory during a production cycle. This provides a realtime view of the production line. The type and quantity of products can be
tracked through each step in the process.
Automatic Inventory Management
Logistics organizations can update inventory records by automatically
determining assets within defined areas, ensuring real-time knowledge of
inventory levels without manual checks or barcode scanning.
Real-Time Alerts
Organizations can use the Exciters to trigger automated events and alerts based
on the current location of an asset. For example, in a shipping yard,
notifications can be sent when vehicles pass through gates and enter or exit a
certain dock or bonded area.
Security applications
Exciters can be installed at the entrances of restricted areas to trigger alerts
when unauthorized persons attempt to enter or leave.
The Exciter triggers Tags to transmit as they pass through a defined area, within
a range of up to 6.5 meters (21.3 feet)*. This is typically enough to cover door or
gate areas. The Exciter also supports a chained configuration, thus enabling an
increased RFID detection range for larger areas.
*In an outdoor environment, the Exciter’s actual LF coverage range is a maximum of
3meters (9.8feet), even if it is set to the maximum of 6.5m in the Engine.
*When used indoors, the Exciter’s LF coverage range can reach up to 6.5meters.
The Exciter’s effective range may be less than the configured range due to
Note
specific site or environmental conditions. The effective range must be taken
into consideration when planning and designing the deployment.
Figure 2: Exciter Positioned at Chokepoint Triggering a Tag
Tag Behavior Modification
Exciters can be programmed to wirelessly activate and deactivate Tags based on
pre-configured conditions. Tag battery life can be extended by switching them
off when they leave a defined tracking area through a gate or doorway. The
Exciter can also be configured to change the Tag transmission rate temporarily
or indefinitely to accommodate different usage patterns in different
environments.
The Exciter can store messages on the Tag for subsequent transmission. The
stored messages can subsequently be triggered by other Exciters, enabling
sophisticated process control functions.
The Exciter can trigger a Tag to:
Transmit up to 15 bytes of data sent to it by the Exciter
Transmit one of 15 pre-stored (customer-created) messages
Store up to 15 bytes of data sent to it by the Exciter
Network Connectivity
When connected to the network, the Exciter can be remotely programmed,
monitored, and its firmware can be updated via the AeroScout Engine. The
Exciter can also work in an offline mode, thus eliminating the need for a
physical network connection. In the offline mode, however, remote
configuration and monitoring is not available.
Chaining
In an area where the required low frequency (LF) coverage exceeds the capacity
of one Exciter, the Exciter can be chained to another Exciter for complete and
precise coverage.
The Exciter has four connectors and two switches inside the back panel:
Figure 3: EX5210R Connector Wiring
(#1) Ethernet LAN Connection: RJ-45 connector. In a configuration with a
physical Ethernet cable connection to the LAN, the network cable is attached
here.
Permanent connection to a wired network is not mandatory. However, you
must have a wired connection to configure the Exciter. Some monitoring
functions are not available if the Exciter is not connected to the network. This
connection is also used for Power over Ethernet (PoE, 802.3af).
(#2) Power Jack: Accepts an input voltage of 24-48V DC. This is a standard 5.5
mm jack connector for direct power supply. The power Adaptor is not supplied
with the Exciter and can be purchased separately. When PoE is used, this
connector becomes redundant.
(#3) Chain IN: RJ-45 connector. This connector is used for receiving data from
Chained Exciters. The Chain IN port is also used to set the Exciter IP via the
Exciter Manager Application using a special 10-pin RJ45 to DB9 serial cable
(AeroScout SKU EXM-1000, or part of the Hardware Management kit).
(#4) Chain OUT and Control Connector: RJ-45 connector. This connector is
used for distributing power and data to Chained Exciters and to connect the
External LF Antenna device. The output voltage is 12 V DC (0.5A maximum).
(#5) Termination Switch: For defining the termination settings in a Chained
Exciters installation. The termination of the first and last Exciter in the chain
must be set to On (o-o) and the other Exciters set to Off: (-o-o-).
(#6) IP Reset: Restores the Exciter’s IP address to the company-set default
value. See Resetting the Exciter IP Address
When wiring the Exciter, all cables must be pushed through the removable
cable rubber plug and then connected to the required port. Use the cable
holder to keep the cables in-line with the rubber’s holes.
Rubber Plug
Once the cables are connected correctly, place and screw in the mounting panel.
Make sure the mounting panel is secured and sealed correctly before mounting
the Exciter.
The EX5210R has an adjustable coverage range between 0.5m (1.6 ft.) and 6.5m
(21.3 ft.) in intervals of 0.5 m (1.6 ft.). LF Coverage varies according to location*
*Indoor LF Coverage is around 6.5 meters (21.3 feet). Outdoor LF Coverage is
around 3 meters (9.8 feet).
The LF coverage pattern set at 4m is displayed in Figure 5.

Chained Exciter In case of a Chained Exciter, the Primary Exciter controls
EX5210R can be used as standalone device that
functions independently without any network
connection. In this case, you only need to connect the
Exciter to the power supply.
Using the AeroScout Engine Manager (AEM), set the
device as “not connected to the network."
EX5210R can be remotely controlled (for configuration
and monitoring purposes) via the local area network. In
this case, you need to connect it to both a power source
and the network.
The power can be provided either via the LAN/ PoE
connector, or via the dedicated power supply
connection, using 24-48VDC.
the Chained Exciter over RS485 communication.
An external power supply can be used to power up to
two Exciters. In case external power is used, every
second Exciter needs to be powered (#1 in the chain, #3,
#5, #7).
In case PoE is used (either via a PoE switch or PoE
injector), two EX-5210R can be powered from one PoE
port.
To connect to the power supply, connect a 110/220 VAC to 48 VDC power
Adaptor to the Exciter’s power jack.
Figure 5: 110/220 VAC to 48 VDC Adaptor
The EX5210R requires approximately 6W of power. When connecting an
Note
Exciter to a direct power source, verify that the power level is sufficient.
When using a direct power source for chaining, you can only power up to
two Exciters sequentially, even if the power source is sufficient for more.
Exciters must only be powered by a limited (marked LPS or NEC class 2)
power supply.
PoE Switch
If your network has a Power-over-Ethernet infrastructure, you can connect a
CAT-5/6 Ethernet cable from the PoE switch to the Exciter’s LAN connector. This
supplies both the power and the network connection.
PoE standard 802.3af class 0 allows power for a single EX5210R Exciter.
Note
When using PoE with the other Chained Exciters, a PoE connection must be
made to every second Exciter in the chain. In addition, the LAN connectivity
that the PoE supplies is not used for Chained Exciters in a chain. Chained
Exciters receive data from the Primary Exciter via the Chaining IN connection.
The PoE Single Port Injector converts 110/220 VAC to 48 VDC. In addition, it can
receive a network connection and you can run a single cable to the Exciter’s LAN
connector, thus supplying both power and network connectivity.
When using this injector, the Exciter power jack is not used.
Figure 6: 110/220 VAC to 48VDC PoE Single-Port Injector
The injector’s IN connector is connected to the network. The injector’s OUT
connector is connected to the Exciter’s LAN connector.
The injector can be used for both networked and non-networked Exciters. In the
case of a non-networked Exciters, the IN connector on the injector is not used.
In an area where the required LF coverage exceeds the capacity of one Exciter,
you can extend the coverage by chaining several Exciters. For example, a large
entrance with two sets of double doors too wide for a single Exciter might
require two Exciters chained together.
The system treats Chained Exciters as a single device with a single ID.
Transmissions do not interfere with one another.
Each Exciter must be positioned to allow transmission range overlap between
neighboring Exciters. This ensures full coverage of the area.
Figure 8 shows 5 Chained Exciters, their connections and the state of each
Exciter termination switch.
Figure 7: EX5210R Chaining Using a Power Adaptor
EX5210R Chain Connection
Up to 8 Exciters can be connected in a chain, as follows:
1. The first Exciter in the chain, directly connected to the LAN, is designated
the “Primary”. Other Exciters are designated “Chained”.
EX5210R Exciters can act as either Primary or Chained Exciters.
2. The Primary Exciter is connected to the first Chained Exciter as follows:
Primary Chaining OUT to Chained Chaining IN.
3. Chained Exciters are then connected as follows: Chaining OUT to Chaining
4. The Termination Switch of the Primary Exciter and the last Chained Exciter
in the chain must be set to On (o-o).
On the other Chained Exciters, it must be set to Off (-o o-).
5. The Primary/Chaining configuration is set via AeroScout Engine Manager.
Chained Exciters inherit the Primary Exciter ID and LF configuration.
Transmission range is configurable. See Configuring Chained Exciters
.
Configuring Chained Exciters
Each Chained Exciter must be set as ‘Slave Exciter’ and the transmission range
configured, in the AeroScout Engine Manager, before being connected to the
Primary. The EX5210R appears as an EX5210 in the Engine Manager.
Configurations for Engine 5.2 and below
1. Connect the Chained Exciter directly to the network via the LAN port.
2. Under IP Configuration, check Connected to network.
3. Configure the following parameters:
•Transmission Range (Internal LF Exciter > Settings tab): Select the
desired transmission range of the Chained Exciter so that the LF
coverage is sufficient and some overlap exists between the chained
Exciters.
Exciters with firmware version 314.54 and above support Dynamic IP (DHCP) and
Static IP configurations.
Static: The IP address and connection settings are specified manually.
Dynamic (DHCP): The DHCP server automatically assigns an available IP every
time the device connects to the network.
Exciters with firmware version 314.54 and above will be set to DHCP by default.
The Exciter’s IP can be changed via the Location Engine; (Select Configuration, Exciters, IP Settings or right-click an Exciter and select IP Settings. This
command allows you to change the network addressing details of the exciter).
For more information, see the DHCP section in the any Location Engine
Deployment Guide from version 5.1 and above.
7. When the Exciter is correctly locked into place, the mounting plate’s security
flange will align with the Exciter’s side screw holes.
8. Screw in the Exciter to the mounting plate’s security flanges.
Mounting the Exciter to a Poll
The mounting plate can be mounted to a poll using a U-Bolt mounting kit. Once
the mounting plate is mounted, attach the Exciter and screw it into the
mounting plate’s security flanges.
