EX5500 Controller Installation & Configuration Guide Introduction The EX5500 Controller is a component of the Stanley Healthcare suite of enterpriselevel visibility solutions based on standard Wi-Fi communication for security and safety applications. The EX5500 Controller provides sophisticated RFID detection, monitoring, and control capabilities. The EX5500 Controller triggers Hugs Tags as they pass through an Egress or as they approach the Controller.
EX5500 Controller Installation & Configuration Guide EX5500 Controller 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 Stanley Healthcare System can track the location of such items and trigger an alert when they pass through an exit point or enter a restricted area.
EX5500 Controller Installation & Configuration Guide EX5500 Controller Features RFID detection of Stanley Healthcare Tags The EX5500 Controller 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 EX5500 also supports a chained configuration, thus enabling an increased RFID detection range for larger areas.
EX5500 Controller Installation & Configuration Guide • Transmit one of 15 pre-stored messages • Store up to 15 bytes of data sent to it by the EX5500 Network connectivity The EX5500 Controller enables remote programming, monitoring, and software updates by the Location Engine. In addition, the EX5500 can work in an offline mode, thus eliminating the need for a physical network connection. In the offline mode however, remote configuration and monitoring is not available.
EX5500 Controller Installation & Configuration Guide EX5500 Controller Connector Panel The EX5500 Controller has five connectors and two relay switches on the connector panel.
EX5500 Controller Installation & Configuration Guide (#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 EX5500 Controller. Some monitoring functions are not available if the Controller is not wired. This connection is also used for Power over Ethernet (PoE, 802.3af).

EX5500 Controller Installation & Configuration Guide Direct Power Supply Connect a 48 VDC power source direct to the Controller’s power jack. Note The EX5500 Controller requires approximately 8 W of power. When connecting a Controller to a direct power source with one of the above options, verify that the power level is sufficient. When using a direct power source for chained Exciters, you can only power up to two Exciters sequentially, even if the power source is sufficient for more.
EX5500 Controller Installation & Configuration Guide The injector can be used for both networked and non-networked Controllers. In the case of a non-networked Controller, the IN connector on the injector is not used. 110/220 VAC to 48 VDC Power Supply Adaptors These adaptors convert 110 VAC or 220 VAC to 48 VDC. Figure 7: 110/220 VAC to 48 VDC Adaptor The adaptor is connected to the EX5500 Controller’s power jack. The network must be connected separately to the EX5500 Controller’s LAN connector.
EX5500 Controller Installation & Configuration Guide Chaining the EX5500 Controllers In an area where the required LF coverage exceeds the capacity of one EX5500 Controller, 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. EX5000, EX3210, EX2000B or EX4200 Exciters can be chained to an EX5500 Controller.
EX5500 Controller Installation & Configuration Guide 2. The Master Exciter is connected to the first Slave Exciter as follows: Master Chain OUT to Slave Chain IN. 3. Slave Exciters are then connected as follows: Slave OUT to Slave IN. 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.
EX5500 Controller Installation & Configuration Guide Each slave must be connected directly to the network and configured the following parameters configured before being connected to the MASTER: • Transmission Range: Select the desired transmission range of the slave Exciter so that the LF coverage is sufficient and some overlap exists between the chained Exciters' LF coverage Note • Connected to network: Make sure the Connected to network checkbox is unchecked.
EX5500 Controller Installation & Configuration Guide Configuring the EX5500 Controller EX5500 Controllers are configured using AeroScout System Manager or Cisco MSE. The configuration settings consist of device installation and network definitions. Configuring the EX5500 Controller via System Manager The EX5500 Controller requires settings in the System Parameters and the Exciter Properties dialog boxes to be configured. System Manager can automatically detect the Exciter Model.
