Add-ons

Metal Detection

The Renos Metal Detection unit (#9563717) can be used to detect foil-lined bags, which are sometimes used by thieves to prevent the RF tags from being read by the detection system or reader. With metal detection, we can detect metal objects and provide a discrete alarm to the store employees.
Restrictions for metal detection
You need a minimum of 2 gates with Metal Detection units to work. Only possible when there are no moving doors with metal (i.e. an aluminum frame around the door). Please note that for the connection of the Metal Detection in the FC-line antenna a longer connection cable is needed (800 mm / 2.6 ft).

RF security dashboard

The Renos platform has a built-in RF security dashboard. It can be enabled by entering a license key during the configuration wizard. The customer can then visit the dashboard via the web browser. To make this work, the Renos system should be either connected to the customer network, or a stand-alone set-up with a router should be made.

3 Preparing the installation
When preparing an installation with FC-line products, there are a few things that should be taken into account:
How many gates one needs to cover an entrance or door. Where the gates will be placed in relation to the environment, for example to minimize interference (RF). It is preferred to install the FC-line gate on the floor mount column. This will up the performance of the system and still gives a clean look in the store. What cabling need to be applied (Cat 5E cable). The maximum distance between antennas is 2200 mm / 7.2 ft (2000mm / 6.6 ft recommended). Mounting distance from the ground must be 200 mm / 8". For mounting on concrete and stone walls, chemical anchors are preferred For mounting on steel frames, EPDM rivet blinds are necessary, which are included in the installation set Distance brackets (25 mm / 0.98") are provided in the installation set, when possible install the FC-line products with these distance brackets. This will improve the performance of the system, especially recommended for steel frames. The firewall settings that need to be in place to enable Device Management

Defining the system

When the store owner requires gates to be placed at several locations, one needs to decide on how to combine these gates into one or multiple systems. The following rules shall be taken into account:
Create as large systems as possible. To minimize interference between gates, the Renos platform has a built-in synchronization mechanism. For this synchronization mechanism to work, the gates need to be connected in one system. However, the maximum cable length requirements needs to be satisfied. If it is not possible to put all the gates in one system due to the maximum cable length requirements of 100 meters / 109 yd, you can split the gates into two or more systems. In this case assign each system a different multi-system
during the RF configuration.channel

Page 13

Field distribution for RF

There are two modes of operation for RF technology. The mode can be configured during the configuration wizard.
There is an RF field in between gates. This mode is preferred for the best performance of theFocused field.
system.
There is an RF field around the gate. This mode is mainly used when the gates are placed near theFull field.
checkouts, as you can have one gate covering a relatively large area.
Infra-read beam sensors
Please note that when you want to use infrared beam sensors for customer counting, you can only count customers in between the gates. So, if you set RF to full field, you are not able to count customers outside of the gates.
Page of 13 43 Manual FC-line
Page 14

Device Management

All the Renos-based products can be connected to the Nedap Device Management Service. This service provides:
Monitoring. Critical system parameters are monitored 24/7. As soon as something is wrong with the system, an alert is generated to the supporting partner. Remote log-in. Via the Device Management portal it is possible for an authorized Nedap-certified engineer to access the user interface of the system to make changes to the configuration or access system logs. Remote Firmware update. It is possible to install new firmware releases remotely.
To use Device Management, please make sure that the following firewall ports are opened before installation:
TCP port 443 outgoing to *.nedapretail.com
This can be verified by connecting your laptop to the customer network, open your browser and navigate to
. You should see a special page there.https://api.nedapretail.com
It is also possible to do this via an HTTPS proxy, however, the remote log-in feature is not available then.
For more details, please see the Knowledge Base article on Device Management.
If Device Management is available at a certain site, it is possible to pre-configure a system, such that the field engineer will have an easier job. For more information, please refer to the Knowledge Base article on Pre-configuration.

4 Executing the installation
When all the preparations are taken into account, the installation of the system can take place. The installation consists of physically mounting the system in the right orientation, installing the cabling and applying power to the system.

Physical installation: Wall mounting

The FC-line gates can be mounted in three different methods:
Mounted on the floor mount column (recommended) Mounted on the front of the door frame Mounted on the side of the door frame
Distance to the floor
The distance to the floor should be at least 200 mm / 8" to have enough space for cabling and filters.
Rotation of the antenna
The antenna can be rotated vertically to create the optimal focussed RF field. Please note that only when both sensitive sides of the two antennas are facing each other, the maximum distance of 2200 mm / 7.2 ft can be obtained. When rotating the antenna, please make sure the Customer Counter PCB's also face each other to work properly. The Customer Counter PCB can easily be rotated inside the antenna.
Prevent interference
Using the floor mount column increases the performance of the FC-line gate. It prevents interference from the door frame or wall behind the door frame. When mounting the FC-line gate to the door frame, using the distance brackets included in the installation set, will help prevent interference.
Order floor mount column seperately
The floor mount column is not included in the product, but should be ordered separately, article number 9216561.

Physical installation: Installing cabling and filters

During the preparation phase, the exact cabling required was already determined. Now these cables can be placed.
All wiring should be done according to local regulations.
Model ASSY FL180R RF+MD antennas with internal Renos shall only be powered by the POE Model PW-085C-1Y560HPOE provided by Nedap. There are four article numbers for the POE model available, according to the country of origin. Each is packaged in a box with one of these mains cord: EU, USA, China, UK and Swiss. To disconnect the system from the mains, please remove the power cord either from the POE unit or from the mains power socket.
When cables are installed, it is recommended to mark them with IN and OUT, or PREVIOUS and NEXT, as this will allow you to distinguish them from each other.

Filters

Please note that filters should be placed around the cables to reduce interference with other systems. These filters are delivered together with the system.
Filter should be placed at:
Every Power Inserter: around the Ethernet cable, both at the OUT and IN port. Every Renos unit: around the Ethernet cable, both at the OUT and IN port. Every 9 m / 30 ft. for longer Ethernet cables.
To save yourself a huge amount of frustration, please first place the filters attaching thebefore connectors. The other way around is not possible. Many have tried before.

Power Inserter OUT to Renos IN Renos OUT to the next Renos IN Filters
Filters can be ordered as spare part with Nedap. Please refer to the Nedap Retail Portal for more information.

Ethernet cables

Maximum length and type of Ethernet cable
The maximum data communication length for an Ethernet cable is 100 meter (328 ft.). Therefore we recommend the following maximum distances:
The maximum cable length in between two Renos units is 100 meter (328 ft.) - even if there is a Power Inserter in between. The maximum cable length from the Power Inserter to the last Renos unit powered by that Power Inserter is also 100 meter (328 ft.)
Please use Ethernet Cat. 5 cable or better and make sure to test every Ethernet cable for correct connections and twisting of all 4 pairs (8 wires) with an Ethernet cable tester. This is to make sure that the system can function correctly.

2.
Connect the Ethernet cable from the OUT port with the IN port of the next Renos unit First, in all aisles connect the Ethernet OUT port with the IN port of the next Renos unit, always following the directions of the arrows in the cabling indicated by the image above.
When the cable lengths allow for it, we recommend to place the Power Inserter in the switch room. In this way the customer only has to arrange an Ethernet outlet near the installation, and no power sockets are needed. This could reduce the cost for installations significantly.
When a connection to the customer network is to be made for local access or Device Management, this connection can be made from:
The customer network to the IN port of the Power Inserter. The customer network to the OUT port of the last Renos unit in the chain.
The exact location needs to be configured during the configuration wizard.

Page 29

Connecting a laptop to the Renos unit

You can connect your laptop via a Mini-USB cable to the service port on the Renos unit. You can choose any Renos unit in the system.
It is advisable to use a long USB cable. This is more comfortable as you can find a good place to put your laptop (instead of on top of stairs, or on the floor next to the antenna). Besides, some laptops cause interference on the RF technology, so it is better to place them further away.
We advise to use a ferrite ringcore filter around the mini USB cable that is used to configure Renos. These can be ordered as spare part with Nedap. Please refer to the Nedap Retail Portal for more information.

Entering the configuration wizard

You can enter the configuration wizard by opening your browser, and navigating to:

If the system is not working correctly, please check the troubleshooting options below. If it is not possible to solve your issue, you can find support options in the next chapter.

Physical installation

Symptom Cause Solution
The red LED (3) on a Renos unit is on.
The current drawn out of the OUT port of the Renos unit is too low. The cabling at the OUT port of the Renos unit does not satisfy the maximum length requirements.
Verify whether the cabling length in the system satisfies the requirements posed earlier in this document.
The current drawn out of the OUT port of the Renos unit is too low. The connectors of the Ethernet cable at the OUT port of the Renos unit are not mated properly.
Check the Ethernet cabling at the OUT port of the Renos unit with a Ethernet cable tester.
The red LED (3) on a Renos unit is blinking.
The current drawn out of the OUT port of the Renos unit is too high. Too much Renos unit and add-ons connected to one Power Inserter.
Verify the number of Renos units and add-ons connected to the Power Inserters with the table earlier in this document.
The current drawn out of the OUT port of the Renos unit is too high. There is a short circuit in the cabling leaving the OUT port of this Renos unit.
Check the Ethernet cabling at the OUT port of the Renos unit with an Ethernet cable tester.
The green LED (1) on a Renos unit is off, but there is a unit behind this unit.
There is an issue in the cabling between those unit, such that the following unit is not recognized.
Check Ethernet cabling with an Ethernet cable tester.

Configuration

Symptom Cause Solution
It is not possible to access the configuration web interface.
Renos unit has not started yet
Verify the green "firmware running" LED on the Renos unit (6). If this LED is not on, verify the system has power or wait five minutes and try again.
Mini USB cable not attached to Renos unit and laptop
Attach cable to Renos unit and laptop.
Driver not installed
On Windows 7 and older you manually need to install a driver to support Renos.
I have put a system together, but I only see a part of all units during the hardware discovery.
During configuration, the WAN access port will be ‘closed’ for internal network traffic. If you combine two systems later on, this needs to be re-openend.
Do a factory reset on the unit that was previously used as WAN entry point.
If that doesn't work, do a factory reset on all units.
There is a cabling error.
Please check all Ethernet cabling with an Ethernet cable tester.
Not all Power Inserters are powered, or some Renos units are not fully started.
Verify the green "firmware running" LED on the Renos unit (6). If this LED is not on, verify the system has power or wait five minutes and try again.
There is a firmware failure, indicated by the fact that all three LEDs 4, 5 and 6 are off on the Renos unit.
Something might has gone wrong with a firmware update.
Use the 'local - single' unit firmware update mechanism to restore the unit.

RF technology issues

When there are issues with RF technology during the configuration (the gates show as orange or red in the wizard), please follow the following steps:
Check the parameters in the RF Advanced Config of the configuration wizard, RF gate performance section. Probably one of those parameters is red or orange. Disable all transmitters.
If all parameters in the RF gate performance section turn green again, there is a coupling problem (the transmitter couples with a label-like object in environment). Please continue at the 'coupling problem' section.

b. If all parameters in the RF gate performance section remain orange or red, there is an active
interferer (another device that transmit radio waves around the 8.2 MHz RF spectrum, like another EAS system, an engine or a power supply). Please continue at the 'active interferer' section.

Coupling problem

Coupling problems are caused by objects that act as a label to the RF system. For example metallic doorframes, metal checkouts, cabling: everything that runs in a loop and is metallic.
To solve these problems, there are a few things you can try:
Tighten screws in the metallic construction. This might work for checkouts or customer guidance rails. Try to interrupt the metallic loop. This can be done by using non-metallic parts inside those loops, or to make a cut in them. Create a shortcut in the metallic loop, to make it smaller. In this way it will resonate at a different frequency.
If the above solutions don't solve the problem, you can decrease the sensitivity of the system. This can be done by ticking the 'reduced sensitivity' button in the RF Advanced Config.
If a decreased sensitivity doesn't work, and there is only one type of label or tag in the store, you also have the option to increase the 'receiver delay', in steps of 3 dB.
If these things don't solve the problem, please contact support.

Active interferer

The first step is to try to locate the source of the active interferer. You can do this by unplugging electronic devices around the gate (or move them away), and see if the parameters in the 'RF gate performance' section improve, or when the average height of the spectrum is reduced. If this is the case, you have identified the active interferer.
When the active interferer is known, the following solutions are possible:
Try to move the active interferer away from the gate as far as possible. Try to apply filters around the cabling of the active interferer. Shield the active interferer with aluminum foil of at least 0.05 mm (2 mil.).
If the above solutions don't solve the problem, you can decrease the sensitivity of the system. This can be done by ticking the 'reduced sensitivity' button in the RF Advanced Config.

There are also standard click-on ferrites available that can be used to reduce active interference sources (e.g. Würth 742 711 31)
If these things don't solve the problem, please contact support.
