Reader Overview
Introduction
The INfinity 510 is a multiprotocol, multiregional Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) System that operates in the 860 – 960 MHz UHF band.
Figure 1 INfinity 510 UHF Reader
As shown in the following figure, this high performance reader supports up
to four Tx/Rx antennas and one Listen before Talk (LBT) antenna and is
equipped with both serial and Ethernet interfaces. Discrete digital inputs
and outputs are also provided.

Reader Overview
The INfinity 510 is equipped with four status indicators located on the top of
the enclosure. These LEDs provide indication for the following:
h Sense – Indicates reader has detected a tag in the RF field.
h Transmit – Indicates the reader’s transmitter is operating (RF on).
h Fault – Indicates a fault occurred.
h Power – Indicates that power is applied to the reader.
During power up, the LEDs will momentarily flash.

Mounting the Reader
The INfinity 510 is equipped with two mounting flanges and slotted
keyholes that accept three #8 (M4) mounting screws. Predrill any mounting
surface according to the following dimensions. Any mounting surface must
be able to support up to four pounds (1.8 kg).

Concrete Wall Mounting
To mount the INfinity 510 to a hollow concrete block wall, Sirit recommends
metal sleeve type concrete anchors that accept #8 screws and flat washers.
Wood or Metal Wall Mounting
To mount the INfinity 510 to a wood or sheet metal wall, Sirit recommends
either #8 x 1 inch wood screws or #8 x 1 inch sheet metal screws and
washers.

Reader Equipment Installation
Mounting the Antennas
The INfinity 510 supports from one to four antennas in a variety of
configurations. One and two-antenna configurations are typical for most
conveyor and container tracking. Four-antenna configurations are used for
portals and loading dock doorways.
The optional Sirit provided antennas are for indoor use only and must be
installed on a solid surface or frame to prevent damage or later
misalignment. It is highly recommended that the antenna mounting be
adjustable in order to obtain the best performance from the system.
WARNING:
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement. The antennas used for this transmitter
must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all
persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.

INfinity 510 User’s Guide, P1.04
The INfinity 510 is designed to meet the regulatory requirements in those
jurisdictions in which it is offered. Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by Sirit Inc for compliance could void the user's authority to operate
the equipment.
The INfinity 510 is equipped with one DB9 type RS-232 serial port for
communication up to 115 Kbaud. If you are using the serial port for reader
communication, connect a serial cable from the COM port on your PC to the
serial port on the reader. See Figure 2 for location of the connector.

Connecting the Ethernet Port
Ethernet Cables
In most cases, you
will connect the
INfinity 510 to a
network hub or
router. However, if
you are connecting
directly to a PC or
other computer,
you will need a
Crossover Cable
that swaps the Tx
and Rx signals.
The maximum Ethernet cable length is 30 meters. If you are communicating
with your reader across a Local Area Network (LAN), connect an Ethernet
cable from your hub or router to the RJ-45 connection. See Figure 2 for
location of the connector. If you are connecting the reader directly to a PC,
you must use a crossover cable. See Note to the left.

The INfinity 510 UHF Reader is equipped with four (4) RF ports. To prevent reader
damage, active RF ports must be properly terminated with a 50 ohm load or a
functional UHF antenna before power up. UHF Readers are factory configured to
operate on RF port 1. As a result, port 1 must be properly terminated before
initially powering on the reader. Before activating any additional RF ports, they
must also be properly terminated. Never power up the reader unless the
appropriate loads or antennas are connected. Always power down the reader
before removing an antenna or load from an RF port.

Connecting Digital Inputs/Outputs
The INfinity 510 is equipped with a general purpose digital input/output
(I/O) port that provides four optically isolated 5-24 Vdc input signals and
four open-collector output signals. The digital inputs can be used as general
purpose inputs or to trigger the reader for tag reading. These inputs can be
configured to provide an external read trigger from proximity sensors,
photoswitches, or other devices.
The digital outputs can be used as general purpose outputs, to indicate tag
reading activity, or to indicate the reader is transmitting (RF On). The
outputs can also be configured to trigger conveyor gates or other access
control and sorting devices.
Connecting the Power
Connect the 15 Vdc power supply to the reader and connect the power
supply to your 100-240 Vac, 50-60 Hz power source. Allow 30 seconds for
the reader to initialize.

Caution:
This device has been designed to operate with no more than 1 Watt into the
antenna and an antenna gain of no more than 6 dBic. Antenna having a higher
gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada, unless power into
the antenna is decreased to compensate for the increased antenna gain. The
required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its
gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is
not more than that required for successful communication.
The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or
pointed such that it does not emit an RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for
the general population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada’s
website at www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb
Optional Sirit supplied antennas are for indoor use only.
