Aisle Width The maximum aisle width for the PX/QX Liberty antennas (with 410 series tag) is: PX with Coupler (PAB/SAB) – 1.8 m [6 ft] QX with Coupler (PAB/SAB) – 1.2 m [4 ft] System performance is affected by aisle width and tag type. For aisle width details please refer to the Liberty Product Reference Guide Power Supply Both PX and QX with coupler antennas utilize a +24 VDC power supply.
Wire Routing Methods of Wire Routing The cabling between PAB and SAB has to be routed either under floor or through floor wiremold. “Up & Over” routing method is not permitted for cabling between PAB and SAB. Correct Wire Routing Incorrect Wire Routing OR (A) (B) Figure 5 Methods of Wire Routing Floor Trench: Typically 1.3cm [.5in.] wide by 3.8cm [1.5in.], but an increase in dimensions is recommended for more than two antennas. Wiremold: 1500 or 2600 series wire mold can be utilized.
CHAPTER 4 AN T E N N A W I R I N G Overview This chapter describes the PX/QX with Coupler primary (PAB) and secondary (SAB) antennas wiring and cabling. WARNING: This system runs on TR4026† electronics with firmware 46.0 or higher. It is critical to note that ONLY TR4026 electronics can be used in conjunction with this system. Information is covered in the following sections: 1. General wiring instruction 2. Single Aisle wiring 3.

Red wire connects LT+ terminal and black wire connects LT- terminal.
Wiring between PABs When multiple antenna aisles are installed, it may require installing sync wire and network communication cable between the aisles. For PX/QX with Coupler installation, all sync cables and network communication cables are connected to the TR4026 electronic boards in the primary antennas (PABs). Sync Cable The sync cable (RF Sync) needs to be installed between PABs if the distance between aisles is under 40 feet. If two aisles are more than 40 feet apart, no sync cable is needed.

It enables communications between aisles. Similar to the Sync wire, inter-pedestal communication network is wired as daisy chain. J14 and J13 are the input and output terminals. The first PAB is only installed with Comm Out cable at terminal J13.

It is recommended to wire the 24VDC power suppler to the nearer PAB (J8), then, connect wire from this PAB’s J12 connector to the J8 connector in the other PAB (J8).
Figure 13 24 VDC power supply wiring method Wiring peripherals Follow the appropriate installation manual for wiring peripheral devices.
Single Aisle Wiring The single aisle installation is the most common PX/QX with Coupler application which best utilizes the PAB-SAB configuration (see Figure 14 Single Aisle). A typical single aisle installation consists of a PX (QX) primary antenna (PAB), a secondary antenna (SAB), a power supply and a cable kit (packaged with secondary antenna). It is recommended to start SAB wiring first, then wire the PAB. Connect the power cable last.

Primary antenna (PAB) wiring Step 1: Open the base cover(s). Step 2: Cut, strip and terminate the RG59 coax cable, then plug it to the coupler board. Check the coupler board jumper settings (see Figure 17 PAB Coupler Board Jumper Settings). Step 3: Connect the SAB Light Cable wires to the J11 on the electronic reader board (TR4026). Step 4: Connect network and peripheral cables (see next Chapter, Network and Peripheral Wiring), if required.

Figure 19 Multiple Aisles Secondary antenna (SAB) wiring Follow the same steps as they are described in Single-Aisle Wiring SAB section. Primary antenna (PAB) wiring Step 1 to Step 5 are the same as they are described in Single-Aisle PAB wiring section. Step 6: Connect the sync cable to J 10 and J9 on the electronic reader board (TR4026). Step 7: Connect 24v DC power cable to J8 on the electronic reader board (TR4026). Connect another 24VDC power cable to J12 if there is a PAB powered via this PAB.
CHAPTER 5 N E T W O R K IN G AN D P E R I P H E R AL S Overview This chapter describes the PX/QX with Coupler antennas network wiring and peripheral device wiring. Note: all network wires and peripheral device wires go to primary antenna only. Inter-pedestal Networking Both PX and QX with Coupler systems offer inter-pedestal networking via inter-pedestal communication network. Please refer to the previous chapter for inter-pedestal communication network wiring.
CHAPTER 6 S Y S T EM CO N F IG U R AT IO N V I A D M S Overview This chapter reviews how to configure 3G Trend/Liberty PX and 3G Plus/Liberty QX PAB/SAB system using DMS.
