NTENNA INST ALLATION

Requirements

The field service technician requires:

• A laptop computer running Windows with a Serial connector.

• The typical hardware and tools to mount a gate for various floor substrate s.

• The size of the mounting holes in the gate is 10 mm (.39”). The length of the anchors or bolts should be selected such that they extend at least 45 mm (1.8”) and a maximum of 65 mm (2.6”) from the floor.

• DB9-to-RJ45 adapter, supplied with the gates

• Service technicians will add terminators when connecting to the terminal block. The power supply connections are connected in the same manner.

• Service technicians will pull the wires, strip, add the appropriate terminators, add the toroid (supplied with the gate), and make all connections.

• The Service technician supplies all connectors.

Overview

The following is the installation sequence. Following this are the detailed instructions procedures for each component.

Safety Instructions - Read Before Beginning

• Before working with the gate, the power supply must always be unplugged. An upowered LED is not an indicator for an unplugged power supply.

Caution: The Antenna-Tuner and the Antenna conductor can carry voltages up to 1000V.

Gate Features

The gates are intended to be used in pairs, with one primary smart gate that contains the Reader and Multiplexer, and a secondary dumb gate without a Reader or Multiplexer. The Reader and Multiplexer are mounted inside the antenna base of the primary gate.

The primary gate controls all of the functions for all of the gates at the entrance/exit, by quickly time-multiplexing the RF field amongst them, effectively covering the entrance/ exit with one large RF field.

The antennas are comprised of the electrical antenna conductor, the housing, the Antenna Tuner and the connection cable. The antennas are factory tuned to an impedance of 50 in a magnetically neutral environment at a distance of 95 cm (37”). When installed in different ambient conditions, the antenna can be retuned using the DATuningTool program. Once tuned, the antennas retain their settings as long as the ambient conditions remain unchanged.
