CHAPTER ILS OPEN PLUS EXIT ANTENNA INSTALLATION CHAPTER0 This chapter describes the steps required to install ILS Open Plus Exit Antennas (hereafter referred to as gates) for Intelligent Library System Open Plus 3.0. Requirements The field service technician requires: • A laptop computer running Windows with a Serial connector. • The typical hardware and tools to mount a gate for various floor substrates. • The size of the mounting holes in the gate is 10 mm (.39”).
“Install the Cover Plates” on page 1-16 9 “Antenna Configuration” on page 1-18 10 “Testing the Gate Antenna” on page 1-23 11 “Technical Data” on page 1-26 Safety Instructions - Read Before Beginning • Before working with the gate, the power supply must always be unplugged. An upowered LED is not an indicator for an unplugged power supply. Caution: The Antenna-Tuner and the Antenna conductor can carry voltages up to 1000V.
Physical Features The following is an internal view of the gate. Upper frame section with Signal-LED Antenna body with antenna conductor Antenna tuning board Antenna base containing electronics Floor plate (hole template) Figure 1.
Electronics Bay of Master Gate The following are the components found in the electronics bay of the Master gate. Signal LED cable Serial-to-Ethernet Adapter with IO 1-4 Antenna cable Buzzer Power Supply Input ILS Open Plus 3.
Antenna Dimensions The outside dimensions of the antenna are shown below. 56 mm (2.2”) 51 mm (2”) 759 mm (29.8”) 1680 mm (66.1”) 16 mm (0.63”) 92 mm (3.6”) 87 mm (3.4”) 759 mm (29.8”) Figure 1.2 Antenna Outside Dimensions Keep in mind when installing to orient the gates in the same direction to maintain a consistent look and ensuring optimum performance.
Site Survey A site survey document should already have been completed for the intended installation. Refer to the site survey document for details regarding physical installation, proper grounding, proper electrical connections, etc. Aisle Width The spacing of the gates depends upon the gate configuration, but the maximum aisle width distance (centerline to centerline) is 91 cm (36”), and minimum of 81.5 cm (32”). Widths narrower than 81.5 cm (32”) does not meet ADA guidelines.
Disassemble the Gates The gates arrive already intact and one must be disassembled when performing an installation because the gate base is used as the drilling template. Use the slave gate for this procedure. 1 Carefully unpack the slave gate from the carton. The side moldings are especially fragile and can crack when putting significant pressure on them, such as carrying the entire gate when grabbing the sills. Figure 1.
Lift top molding away Figure 1.5 Top molding removal 5 Remove the top molding only after the side moldings have been removed. 6 Remove the lexan cover plates from the front and back of the gate by lifting out the lip from the base. Remove nuts here Figure 1.6 Slave gate base 7 Remove the (17mm) nuts and washers at base of the upper antenna structure (inside of base). 1-8 ILS Open Plus 3.
Note: Only perform the next step if disassembling a master gate. Antenna cable connected to multiplexer Signal LED cable connected to serial-to-ethernet board If disassembling a master gate, unscrew the antenna cable from the multiplexer and signal LED cable from the serial-to-ethernet board. Antenna partially removed from base Nut removed from screw (not seen) here Figure 1.7 Antenna removed from base 8 Separate the base from the upper antenna structure, by sliding the two apart.
Install the Gate Base The floor mounting of the slave gate is used to mark the holes for drilling. Determining the Mounting Holes 1 Use the floor mounting plate from the disassembled gate to mark the holes for all of the gates. 2 Ensure that the orientation of the gates is consistent, so that each gate faces the same way. Notice in the diagram below that each same mounting plate faces in the same direction.
be selected such that they extend at least 45 mm (1.8”) and a maximum of 65 mm (2.6”) from the floor. Mounting fasteners are provided by the installer, dependent upon floor type. Mounting Instructions Please follow the mounting instructions of the anchor manufacturer for drilling holes that match the type of flooring. Cable Routing Two cable openings are provided for the necessary connection cable. See “Floor Plate Dimensions” on page 1-10.
Connecting the Alarm Kit to the Serial-to-Ethernet Board The solution provided here presumes that all alarm indicators (Signal LED and buzzer) are controlled and wired through the serial-to-ethernet board. The pulse duration can be set between 1 ms and 4000 ms by adjusting the Application Server configuration. The alarm indicators are powered by the serial-to-ethernet board.
Connect the LED Indicators The optical alarm indicator, the Signal LED, is integrated into the upper frame section. This means, when installing the antenna, the standard upper frame section is replaced by the one having the signal indicator and the Signal LED is connected with the connection cable. Figure 1.11 LED Annunciator Connection 1 See “Disassemble the Gates” on page 1-7 for instructions on how to disassemble the gate. 2 Once the top molding is removed, connect the pin to the LED connector.
Install the Antenna Body Once the floor plate is bolted to the floor, you then attach the antenna base to the floor plate. Antenna shown partially inserted into base. Nut and washer for screw (not seen) attaches here. Use the adjusting screws to plum the gate. Figure 1.12 Antenna body attachment 1 Insert the antenna body on to the antenna base and screw it to the antenna base using the mounting bolts as shown above. 2 Use the adjusting screws (see above) to ensure the gate is plum.
4 Connect the Alarm Kit components as described in “Connecting the Alarm Kit to the Serial-to-Ethernet Board” on page 1-12. Cable Routing Guideline The cables should be routed as compactly as possible regardless of the antenna configuration. The cables should be tied into small loops at the end by binding all cables as far from the antenna conductor as possible. The cables must never be allowed to contact the copper tube. The antenna cables have a fixed length of approximately 2.10 m or 3.60 m (6.
Install the Cover Plates Note: It is recommended to install the cover plates only after a successful functional test of the complete antenna configuration has been performed. h Cover plate with painted finish g Unpainted cover plate i Frame side section Figure 1.15 Cover Plates 1-16 ILS Open Plus 3.

The tuning status is displayed after each tuning pass. After successful tuning, both antennas are shown in green. 9 If this does not succeed on the first try, start the process over again by clicking Start Tuning. 10 Once finished, close the DATuningTool program.
4 Read the serial number and tag type in the display. Performance Testing In this test, the capture area of the gate antenna described “Antenna Configuration” on page 1-18 is verified. For other tags or other configurations the indicated ranges and read areas may differ accordingly. Figure 1.23 Peformance Test of the Gate Antenna 1 The test begins by checking the read range outside the gate (see Fig. points (1) and (2)), assuming the configuration and locality permit it.
• Metal near the antennas is detuning or interfering with them. • The antennas are not properly tuned. • Noise level too high (Vmax - Vmin 20 mV) • Tag too insensitive, detuned or defective • Reader improperly configured (transmitting power, transponder type, modulation, transponder parameters, etc.). • A cable is defective or has a poor contact. • Reader, Power Splitter or antenna defective.
• The distance from tag to tag should be greater than 10 cm (3.9”). If the tag to tag distance is reduced, the gate distance GD must be reduced correspondingly. This applies in particular to distances under 5 cm (2”). • The maximum number of tags (serial number or data) depends on the traverse speed with which the tags are brought through the capture area of the gate. The number of tags may be increased in the gate distance GD is correspondingly reduced and the maximum speed adjusted accordingly.
