EX5200 Exciter Deployment Guide Exciter Applications and Industry Examples The EX5200 Exciter is a component of the STANLEY Healthcare suite of enterprise-level visibility solutions based on standard Wi-Fi wireless communications for location- based applications. The EX5200 Exciter extends the suite to provide robust and sophisticated RFID detection capabilities. The EX5200 Exciter triggers Tags as they pass through a chokepoint or as they approach the Exciter.
EX5200 Exciter Deployment Guide Exciter Applications and Industry Examples Theft Prevention Healthcare organizations or enterprises with expensive and mission-critical equipment can tag valuable assets that are intended to remain within a specified area. The AeroScout System can track the location of such items and trigger an alert when they pass through an exit point or enter a restricted area.
EX5200 Exciter Deployment Guide Exciter Features RFID Detection of STANLEY Healthcare Tags The Exciter triggers Tags to transmit as they pass through a defined area, within a range of up to 6.5 meters (21.3 feet). This is typically enough to cover door or gate areas. The Exciter also supports a chained configuration, thus enabling an increased RFID detection range for larger areas. Note The Exciter’s effective range may be less than the configured range due to specific site or environmental conditions.
EX5200 Exciter Deployment Guide The Exciter can store messages on the Tag for subsequent transmission. The stored messages can subsequently be triggered by other Exciters, enabling sophisticated process control functions.
EX5200 Exciter Deployment Guide LED Status Indicators The EX5200 has a single LED that changes color based on the Exciter's status as follows: • Green (continuous): The Exciter is transmitting and functioning correctly • Green (Blinking) During Firmware upgrade the Exciter blinks green until the upgrade is complete • Red (Blinking) During IP reset the Exciter blinks red • Red (continuous): Error Figure 3: Multi-purpose LED 9
EX5200 Exciter Deployment Guide Exciter Connector Panel The EX5200 Exciter has four connectors and two switches inside the back panel. Figure 4: EX5200R Connector Wiring (#1) Ethernet LAN Connection: RJ-45 connector. In a configuration with a physical Ethernet cable connection to the LAN, the network cable is attached here. Permanent connection to a wired network is not mandatory. However, you must have a wired connection to configure the Exciter.
EX5200 Exciter Deployment Guide (#3) Chain IN: RJ-45 connector. This connector is used for receiving data from chained Exciters. The Chain IN port is also used to set the Exciter IP via the Exciter Manager Application using a special 10-pin RJ45 to DB9 serial cable (AeroScout SKU EXM-1000, or part of the Hardware Management kit). (#4) Chain OUT and Control Connector: RJ-45 connector. This connector is used for distributing power and data to chained Exciters and to connect the External LF Antenna device.
EX5200 Exciter Deployment Guide Network and Power Connections The following is a brief summary of available powering and networking options: Usage Option Description Single EX5200– not connected to a network EX5200 can be used as standalone devices that function independently without any network connection. In this case, you only need to connect the Exciter to the power supply. Using the AeroScout Engine Manager (AEM), set the device as “not connected to the network.
EX5200 Exciter Deployment Guide Direct Power Supply To connect to the power supply, connect a 110/220 VAC to 48 VDC power adapter to the Exciter’s power jack. Figure 5: 110/220 VAC to 48 VDC Adapter Note The EX5200 requires approximately 6W of power. When connecting an Exciter to a direct power source, verify that the power level is sufficient. When using a direct power source for chaining, you can only power up to two Exciters sequentially, even if the power source is sufficient for more.
EX5200 Exciter Deployment Guide 110/220 VAC to 48 VDC PoE Single-Port Injector The PoE Single Port Injector converts 110/220 VAC to 48 VDC. In addition, it can receive a network connection and you can run a single cable to the Exciter’s LAN connector, thus supplying both power and network connectivity. When using this injector, the Exciter power jack is not used. Figure 6: 110/220 VAC to 48VDC PoE Single-Port Injector The injector’s IN connector is connected to the network.
EX5200 Exciter Deployment Guide Power Connection Summary The following table summarizes the power connection options: Power Supply Input Output Maximum Available Maximum # Current of Exciters Power with One Source PoE single port injector 100-240 VAC, 5060 Hz 48 VDC 0.32 A(1) 15.4 W Two Standard PoE 802.3af – switch port(2) 48 VDC 0.32 A(1) 15.4 W Two External power adapter 48 VDC > 0.4 A Two – > 20 W To prevent power loss, PoE cables must not exceed 100m (330’) in length.
EX5200 Exciter Deployment Guide Chaining EX5200 Exciters In an area where the required LF coverage exceeds the capacity of one Exciter, you can extend the coverage by chaining several Exciters. For example, a large entrance with two sets of double doors too wide for a single Exciter might require two Exciters chained together. The system treats chained Exciters as a single device with a single ID. Transmissions do not interfere with one another.
EX5200 Exciter Deployment Guide 4. The Termination Switch of the Master Exciter and the last Slave Exciter in the chain must be set to On (o-o). On the other Slave Exciters, it must be set to Off (-o o-). 5. The Master/Slave configuration is set via System Manager. Slave Exciters inherit the Master Exciter ID and LF configuration, as well as from the transmission range. 6.
EX5200 Exciter Deployment Guide Resetting the Exciter IP Address You can reset the Exciter’s IP address to the factory default value. The default IP address is 192.168.1.178. To do so, press the IP Reset button with a ballpoint pen for 5 seconds. After a successful IP reset, a flashing red LED indication appears for three seconds.
EX5200 Exciter Deployment Guide Connecting an External LF Antenna The External LF Antenna device is designed to extend the Exciter's LF coverage. The two devices communicate via a standard CAT5 cable connection. Connect the Exciter's Chaining OUT connector to the external LF device's IN connector. For configuration instructions, refer to the AeroScout Engine Manager. The External LF Antenna's LED blinks while the Exciter transmits.
EX5200 Exciter Deployment Guide Mounting the Exciter Position and mount each EX5500 Controller in the site according to the site survey recommendations. Fixing the Controller to a Floating Ceiling: Attach the device to the false ceiling using the ceiling mounts located on the bottom casing of the device.
EX5200 Exciter Deployment Guide Figure 11: EX5500 mounting template (supplied with the Controller) 1. Hold the template on the wall in the location you wish to mount the Controller. Make sure the template is level. 2. Mark the four holes for the screws through the template. 3. Remove the template. 4. Drill the holes for the screws. 5. Anchor the screws into the wall, leaving 10mm of each of the screws exposed. Use appropriate screws and or anchoring plugs. 6.
EX5200 Exciter Deployment Guide Mounting the Controller using the Exciter Mounting Clip To mount the Controller in the center of a ceiling tile using the Exciter Mounting Clip, Figure 12, you must order an EX5500 Mounting Clip Kit, sold separately (SKU: EXAC-141). The Kit can be used to mount the Controller in deployments where mounting on the ceiling grid is not possible. Figure 12: Mounting Clip for EX5500 (SKU: EXAC-141) 1. Position the Mounting Clip on a standard 60cm (24") grid false ceiling. 2.
