EX5210R Exciter Installation & Configuration Guide Introduction The EX5210R Rugged 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 EX5210R Exciter is designed for outdoor mounting, providing robust and sophisticated RFID detection capabilities. The EX5210R Exciter triggers tags as they pass through a chokepoint or as they approach the Exciter.
EX5210R Exciter Installation & Configuration 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.
EX5210R Exciter Installation & Configuration 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. *In an outdoor environment, the Exciter’s actual LF coverage range is a maximum of 3meters (9.
EX5210R Exciter Installation & Configuration Guide Message Programming Functions 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.
EX5210R Exciter Installation & Configuration Guide LED Status Indicators The EX5210R 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 9
EX5210R Exciter Installation & Configuration Guide Exciter Connector Panel The EX5210R Exciter connection panel is housed in the sealed compartment at the back of the Exciter. Exciter Mounting Plate 8 Mounting Plate Screws Sealed Connector Compartment Unscrew the 8 mounting plate screws and remove the plate.
EX5210R Exciter Installation & Configuration Guide The Exciter has four connectors and two switches inside the back panel: 5 4 3 2 1 6 Figure 3: EX5210R 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.
EX5210R Exciter Installation & Configuration Guide Wiring the Exciter When wiring the Exciter, all cables must be pushed through the removable cable rubber plug and then connected to the required port. Use the cable holder to keep the cables in-line with the rubber’s holes. Cable Holder Cable Rubber Plug TB-L IN OUT TB-R PWR LAN / PoE Once the cables are connected correctly, place and screw in the mounting panel.
EX5210R Exciter Installation & Configuration Guide LF Coverage The EX5210R has an adjustable coverage range between 0.5m (1.6 ft.) and 6.5m (21.3 ft.) in intervals of 0.5 m (1.6 ft.). LF Coverage varies according to location* *Indoor LF Coverage is around 6.5 meters (21.3 feet). Outdoor LF Coverage is around 3 meters (9.8 feet). The LF coverage pattern set at 4m is displayed in Figure 5.
EX5210R Exciter Installation & Configuration Guide Network and Power Connections The following is a brief summary of available powering and networking options: Usage Option Description Single EX5210R– not connected to a network EX5210R can be used as standalone device that functions 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.
EX5210R Exciter Installation & Configuration Guide Direct Power Supply To connect to the power supply, connect a 110/220 VAC to 48 VDC power Adaptor to the Exciter’s power jack. Figure 5: 110/220 VAC to 48 VDC Adaptor Note The EX5210R requires approximately 6W of power. When connecting an Exciter to a direct power source, verify that the power level is sufficient.
EX5210R Exciter Installation & Configuration 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.
EX5210R Exciter Installation & Configuration 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 Adaptor 48 VDC > 0.
EX5210R Exciter Installation & Configuration Guide Chaining EX5210R 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.
EX5210R Exciter Installation & Configuration Guide 4. The Termination Switch of the Primary Exciter and the last Chained Exciter in the chain must be set to On (o-o). On the other Chained Exciters, it must be set to Off (-o o-). 5. The Primary/Chaining configuration is set via AeroScout Engine Manager. Chained Exciters inherit the Primary Exciter ID and LF configuration. Transmission range is configurable. See Configuring Chained Exciters.
EX5210R Exciter Installation & Configuration Guide • Under Exciter Modules (General > Settings tab), make sure Enable is checked. • Under Chaining and External Connections (General > Settings tab), check Slave Exciter. 4. Under IP Configuration, uncheck Connected to Network. 5. Click OK. 6. Connect the Chained Exciter to the Primary Exciter.
EX5210R Exciter Installation & Configuration Guide Configurations for Engine 5.3 and above 1. Connect the Chained Exciter directly to the network via the LAN port. 2.

EX5210R Exciter Installation & Configuration Guide DHCP Exciters with firmware version 314.54 and above support Dynamic IP (DHCP) and Static IP configurations. Static: The IP address and connection settings are specified manually. Dynamic (DHCP): The DHCP server automatically assigns an available IP every time the device connects to the network. Exciters with firmware version 314.54 and above will be set to DHCP by default.
EX5210R Exciter Installation & Configuration 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.
