Introduction
The DC600 portal system is a fully assembled turn-key solution that uses Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) for asset identification
and tracking goods movement in manufacturing plants, cargo logistics, distribution centers, warehouses, and stores.
The DC600 includes an integrated RFID reader and high-performance antennas for fast, accurate reading of RFID tags. All internal
antenna-to-reader connections are included to reduce procurement time and installation effort. The DC600 can leverage two or more
antennas for each dock door to increase coverage.
The DC600 can sustain minor non-direct pallet impact. Its bolted installation makes it robust for industrial environments. The DC600
is dust and water resistance to ensure reliable service in harsh environments and can work in temperatures between -4
o
+122
F (-20o C to 50o C) and humidity of 5% to 95% RH.

Facility Power Requirements
The DC600 portal system requires the following power input requirements:
1. A dedicated AC circuit is recommended (but not required), 4.5 amps is the maximum current.
2. AC voltage must be within the 90VAC - 264VAC range.
3. AC power cycle requirements must be within 47Hz to 63Hz.
4. An external power switch that disconnects all poles is recommended. The power switch for the DC600 is located inside of
the Cable Entry Module.

DC600 Standard Edition
The Standard Edition DC600s include the following components:
• DC600 Dock Door Frame: The dock door frame provides a bolted installation and houses the XR400 reader and high
performance antennas.
• XR400 RFID Reader: Refer to the XR400 Integrator Guide.
• High Performance Antennas: The antennas connect to the reader to enable tag reading in the read range. Dual models
include four antennas, and single (left or right) models include two antennas.
• Portal and reader status LEDs.
DC600 Professional Edition
The Professional Edition DC600s include all of the components offered in the Standard Edition, as well as the motion
sensor.
Motion Sensor
The motion sensor initiates tag reads when movement is it detected. This ensures antennas only read tags when tag
movement occurs through the dock door, e.g., when pallets pass through the DC600 system.
DC600 Configurations
The DC600 is available in single (left or right) and dual configurations for monitoring different types of dock doors.
Businesses can choose between the Standard or Professional editions depending on requirements.
The DC600 offers three configurations:
• Single: Includes two high-performance antennas mounted on a single frame that installs on the side of a dock door. This is
usually mounted as a paired system with another single or another dual.
• Dual: Includes four high-performance antennas mounted on a single frame that installs between two dock doors. This is
usually mounted as a paired system with one or two singles.
• Slim Single: Includes two high-performance antennas mounted on a single compact frame that installs against a wall. This
is usually mounted as a paired system with another single model or a single and dual model.
See Figure 1-1 on page 1-3 for DC600 model illustrations.

Motion Sensor Configuration 3-3
Introduction
This chapter describes how to configure the XR400 to work with the DC600 when using a motion sensor, and how to install the
antennas and group them logically using firmware to avoid deployment problems. For details on the Web-based administrator option
refer to the XR400 RFID Reader Integrator Guide.
Antenna Setup and Configuration for Polling with Motion Sensor
To use the motion sensor with the DC600 enable the Use Motion Detector option using the Web-based Administrator Console of the
XR400 firmware. Refer to the XR400 RFID Reader Integrator Guide.
The motion sensor is tied to the antennas that are connected to the side of DC600 where the
motion sensor is installed. Therefore the system treats antennas 1 and 2 as a combined pair, and
antennas 3 and 4 as a combined pair. Once the antenna ports are combined, the host application
WARNING
Following are recommended antenna configurations when using a motion sensor. Avoid using other configurations.
Single Model With Two Antennas
When using the single model (left / right) with a motion sensor use antenna pairs of either Antennas 1 and 2 or Antennas 3 and 4
(depending on the model used). Ensure the antennas are mounted on the correct side as indicated by the diagram and combined into
a group before reading tags.
