EXI HALO Installation Manual Rev 2.0 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. Intended Audience This manual serves as a guide for Installers of the HALO system. The major components of the system are described, as well as the system’s intended functionality, so as to gain familiarity with its operation prior to installation. In order to successfully install and commission the system, it is absolutely critical to understand the capabilities of the system and its components prior to installation.
EXI HALO Installation Manual Rev 2.0 2. DECISIONS TO MAKE PRIOR TO INSTALLATION 2.1. SYSTEM WIRING The HALO network is based on the RS-485 electrical interface standard, which is 2-wire multi-node bus. The EXI HALO elements are designed such that many more than the RS-485 limit of 32 Drivers and 32 Receivers can be co-exist on the same network.
EXI HALO Installation Manual Rev 2.0 2.2. CONTROLLER CONFIGURATIONS The HALO controller handles all communication with the Tags, provides audible and visual indicators of what state its in and prevents egress when necessary. The controller chassis may be horizontally or vertically mounted, on a wall, ceiling or shelf and should be mounted so that the front face panel is easily accessible.
EXI HALO Installation Manual Rev 2.0 - The field should not extend into other rooms or areas that are regularly occupied by tags. These tags could keep a controller in a pre-alarm state preventing the door from opening if magnetic door locks are being used. - The tag should also be detected at least 4 feet from the door in order to give the magnetic door lock time to energize. - Proximity to other fields could also be a factor.
EXI HALO Installation Manual Rev 2.0 area. The procedure to fully test the field is described in the “INSTALLING CONTROLLERS” section of this manual. Watch out for foil backed ceiling tile. 2.4. KEYPAD OR PINPAD? Each of the user interface devices provide local audible and visual alarm and bypass indication as well as a means for the user to input requests to the system.

EXI HALO Installation Manual Rev 2.0 3.1.2. TEST CONTROLLER AND SET UP FIELDS After reading Section 3.2 on LOCATION FOR SEA EXCITER ANTENNAS, choose a suitable location for the SRA. Setting up a field is a matter of trial and error. The primary considerations here are the field shape and strength. The field has to fill the area in front of the door all the way to the floor so that no tag can reach the door without being detected.
EXI HALO Installation Manual Rev 2.0 TROUBLESHOOTING: If the controller is having trouble detecting tags, try different positions for the RX antenna. Raising the detection THRESHOLD with the rotary switch on the far left of the controller circuit board can remove some of the background noise as well as reduce interference from Tags talking to nearby controllers.

EXI HALO Installation Manual Rev 2.0 With a HOST computer in the system, the recommended switch setting for the “Authorized Entry” mode is Option 0 (No Tags are authorized). “Patient Monitoring” or “Article Surveillance” modes should have Option 1 selected (All Tags will be stopped). These settings let the HOST have complete control over which Tags are allowed access to or from the protected areas. The following table shows the selected function for each switch position, depending on the mode selected.
EXI HALO Installation Manual Rev 2.0 If HIGH ID > LOW ID, all Tags with digit x equal to or between the 2 numbers are selected If HIGH ID < LOW ID, all Tags with digit x greater than or equal to LOW are selected and all Tags with digit x less than or equal to HIGH are selected If HIGH ID = LOW ID, only Tags with digit x = to HIGH or LOW are selected 3.2.
