Connections Below a Renos unit is displayed, with a description of all its connectors and what they are used for. Number Connector Usage 1 50 ohm Connect the Renos unit to the 50 ohm PCB. The 50 ohm PCB connects both the light and the RF antenna. 2 Infrared beams Connect to the optional infrared beam sensors. 3 Add-on Provide power and synchronization to add-ons. 4 Network IN Connected to the Network OUT of a previous Renos unit or a Power Inserter. 5 USB Connect accessories to Renos.
Add-ons Metal Detection The Renos Metal Detection unit (#9563717) can be used to detect foil-lined bags, which are sometimes used by thieves to prevent the RF tags from being read by the detection system or reader. With metal detection, we can detect metal objects and provide a discrete alarm to the store employees. Restrictions for metal detection You need a minimum of 2 gates with Metal Detection units to work. Only possible when there are no moving doors with metal (i.e.
RF security dashboard The Renos platform has a built-in RF security dashboard. It can be enabled by entering a license key during the configuration wizard. The customer can then visit the dashboard via the web browser. To make this work, the Renos system should be either connected to the customer network, or a stand-alone set-up with a router should be made.
3 Preparing the installation When preparing an installation with FC-line products, there are a few things that should be taken into account: How many gates one needs to cover an entrance or door. Where the gates will be placed in relation to the environment, for example to minimize interference (RF). It is preferred to install the FC-line gate on the floor mount column. This will up the performance of the system and still gives a clean look in the store. What cabling need to be applied (Cat 5E cable).
Field distribution for RF There are two modes of operation for RF technology. The mode can be configured during the configuration wizard. Focused field. There is an RF field in between gates. This mode is preferred for the best performance of the system. Full field. There is an RF field around the gate. This mode is mainly used when the gates are placed near the checkouts, as you can have one gate covering a relatively large area.
Device Management All the Renos-based products can be connected to the Nedap Device Management Service. This service provides: Monitoring. Critical system parameters are monitored 24/7. As soon as something is wrong with the system, an alert is generated to the supporting partner. Remote log-in. Via the Device Management portal it is possible for an authorized Nedap-certified engineer to access the user interface of the system to make changes to the configuration or access system logs.
4 Executing the installation When all the preparations are taken into account, the installation of the system can take place. The installation consists of physically mounting the system in the right orientation, installing the cabling and applying power to the system.

Place the M4 x 12 bolts (2x) at the top 2. Hang the cover as shown 3.
5 Configuring the installation To complete the configuration, the following tools are required. Mini-USB cable. Laptop with installed driver (if necessary) and recent browser. Driver installation To configure a Renos-based system, sometimes a driver needs to be installed. Please check the table below whether you need to install a driver, based on your operating system.
Connecting a laptop to the Renos unit You can connect your laptop via a Mini-USB cable to the service port on the Renos unit. You can choose any Renos unit in the system. It is advisable to use a long USB cable. This is more comfortable as you can find a good place to put your laptop (instead of on top of stairs, or on the floor next to the antenna). Besides, some laptops cause interference on the RF technology, so it is better to place them further away.
The system is connected to Device Management: you can directly enter your Nedap Retail username and password. The system is not connected to Device Management, and you don't have a Nedap Retail authentication software: choose one of the following steps: If your laptop is able to connect to Device Management via a 3G dongle or Wi-Fi, you can use this option to enter your username and password. If that is not available, you can use your smartphone.
Configuration is lost Please note that when doing a factory reset, all settings and configuration of the unit are lost. The firmware version does not change. Firmware change There are three ways to change the firmware version on a Renos-based system: 1. Device Management update. The update can be executed via the Device Management service. 2. Local - single unit flash. The update can be executed by inserting a USB stick with the right firmware into the USB port. 3. Local - complete system flash.
Local - complete system flash Download the correct firmware image file from the Nedap Retail portal. Enter the configuration wizard and accept all Renos units in the system that should be updated. Press the Advanced button and follow the steps to change the firmware. One of these steps is to upload the firmware image file. Configuration is lost Please note that when using 'local - complete system flash' firmware change, all settings and configuration of the system are lost.
6 Integrating the installation with other systems It is highly recommended to integrate the FC-line product into other solutions in use at the end customer. Software integration with API's The Renos platform offers several API endpoints that deliver events. Those events include: RF alarms Infrared beam sensor events For more information please refer to the Software integration page on the Nedap Retail Portal with documentation and examples.
URL trigger Network-based devices that have an http-based-API can be triggered with the URL trigger mode. At this moment Axis cameras and Renos Pager are supported. A control URL (a link containing information) of this device can be triggered by an RF alarm, Metal Detection alarm or an Attention Button alarm. The URL should be created in the device. The communication can be further configured in the configuration wizard. Make sure that this device is reachable by the Renos system.
7 Servicing the installation When the installation has been completed and delivered, it is possible to service the installation via Nedap Device Management. Besides, we provide monitoring options locally via SNMP. Nedap Device Management Via Nedap Device Management the following features are available, when the system is connected to Nedap Device Management. System monitoring via some key metrics.
8 Troubleshooting If the system is not working correctly, please check the troubleshooting options below. If it is not possible to solve your issue, you can find support options in the next chapter. Physical installation Symptom The red LED (3) on a Renos unit is on. The red LED (3) on a Renos unit is blinking. The green LED (1) on a Renos unit is off, but there is a unit behind this unit. Page 36 of 43 Cause Solution The current drawn out of the OUT port of the Renos unit is too low.
Configuration Symptom Cause Renos unit has not started yet Solution Verify the green "firmware running" LED on the Renos unit (6). If this LED is not on, verify the system has power or wait five minutes and try again. It is not possible to access the configuration web interface. Mini USB cable not attached to Renos unit and laptop Attach cable to Renos unit and laptop. Driver not installed On Windows 7 and older you manually need to install a driver to support Renos.
2. b. If all parameters in the RF gate performance section remain orange or red, there is an active interferer (another device that transmit radio waves around the 8.2 MHz RF spectrum, like another EAS system, an engine or a power supply). Please continue at the 'active interferer' section. Coupling problem Coupling problems are caused by objects that act as a label to the RF system. For example metallic doorframes, metal checkouts, cabling: everything that runs in a loop and is metallic.
There are also standard click-on ferrites available that can be used to reduce active interference sources (e.g. Würth 742 711 31) If these things don't solve the problem, please contact support.
