Conveyor Antenna for 270 TL Installation Guide 3 Overview The Conveyor Antenna (Figure 1) has been optimized for use with the TAGSYS Medio L100 and Medio L200 readers for garment tracking applications. For Textile Rental and Laundry applications, the Conveyor Antenna is recommended for: • On-the-fly garment identification for automatic sorting • Automatic reading at loading points An optional signal box is available that indicates a correct tag reading with a buzzer or a flashing light.

Conveyor Antenna for 270 TL Installation Guide 4 Installation Before installing the Conveyor Antenna in your industrial laundry or textile rental conveyor system, it is strongly recommended to read the TAGSYS Textile Tag Positioning Guide that provides information on how to select the best antenna configuration for your conveyor system. Figure 3: Standard Upright Installation 4.1 Antenna Location The antenna is designed for an industrial indoor usage.
Installation 4.2 Antennas Active Area IMPORTANT: Note that the dimensions of the antennas inside the conveyor antenna housing given in this document are based on the actual size of the radiating coil and not on the overall size of the individual antenna unit. Several antenna configurations are available and must be carefully linked to the tag positioning. Figure 4 shows the various antenna configurations used with the conveyor antenna and the 270TL tag.
Conveyor Antenna for 270 TL Installation Guide TR-CA8 antenna that has a reduced horizontal reading area (200 mm x 900). In that case 2 following tags at the same time in the reading area almost never happen. If a large amount of ambient noise is generated by the conveyor system, it is best to reduce the power of the reader or the size of the top antenna (generally the closest to the noise source). so as not to affect reading performance.
Installation Figure 5: Mounting Brackets on Conveyor Antenna 4.3.1 Guides Guides are often used along the conveyor to protect garments and to ensure that garments are correctly presented in front of the antenna for valid reading of their tags the hangers and to prevent them from swinging. In some cases, items can be correctly positioned by having the item brush against the conveyor antenna as shown in Figure 6.
Conveyor Antenna for 270 TL Installation Guide 4.4 Installing the TR-L100 Reader Unit Once fixed on the conveyor, the 2 BNC cables of the Conveyor Antenna must be connected (randomly) to Channels 1 and 2 of the Medio L100 reader. CAUTION: The reader unit MUST be switched OFF before connecting or disconnecting the antenna. 4.5 Installing the Signal/Buzzer Box A Signal box (optional) is also available for textile rental and laundry applications.
Installation 4.6 Cabling Requirements All Conveyor Antenna cables must be correctly shielded. The shielding effectiveness of the material used should be of good performance (at least 60 dB), especially in the frequency range of 10 to 60 MHz. The addition of ferrite clamps near the reader unit will increase common mode rejection.
Conveyor Antenna for 270 TL Installation Guide 5 Maintenance 5.1 Servicing the Conveyor Antenna CAUTION: The Conveyor Antenna contains no operator serviceable parts and must only be serviced by qualified personnel. No regular servicing is required, except for keeping the unit clean. It is recommended that an approved TAGSYS technical representative inspect the electronics unit at least once per year. 5.
