Introduction

The exciter is an additional Low Frequency (LF) antenna for a Transceiver. By
using exciters, additional LF Fields can be created and the tag detection zones
can be extended.
Each Transceiver supports a maximum of three transceiver exciters. The
LF Fields of the Transceiver and all exciters will be in phase.

Figure 1: Exciter Front Panel

The exciter is connected to a transceiver (Part Number SR4TX01) from the
exciter’s XCVR PORT to any one of the transceiver’s three SATELLITE
EXCITERS ports using a standard ethernet cable (CAT5, EIA 568A termina­tion). The exciter also draws its power from this connection.

Firmware Updates

The exciter does not contain firmware. Its operating features are dependent on
the Transceiver.

Installation Tips

When installing the exciter:

• Use both mounting holes to ensure that the exciter is secure.

• Mount the exciter so that the front panel is easily accessible and visible from the
floor. If mounting above a ceiling, place the exciter so that the front panel is visible
from the floor when a ceiling tile is removed.

• Check that the LF Field radiated by the exciter(s) and the Transceiver is continuous
(no dead spots) and that it covers the correct area. See “Configuration” on page 4.
