General
Remember the following when installing the SupaGate:
Read Range
CAUTION:
The SupaGate is susceptible to excessive RF interference, reducing
the range. Always site test the SupaGate, prior to installation, in its
installation location for optimum RF read range.
The SupaGate has a tested RF read range of between 10 m to 30 m
(11 yd to 33 yd) when used with the ImproX QT (XQT904-1-1-GB-XX).
The passive read range varies from between 25 mm to 76 mm (1 in to 3 in)
depending on the Antenna Reader and Tag used.
Antenna Reader Distance
The ideal cable distance between the SupaGate and its Antenna Reader ranges
between 2 m to 16 m (7 ft to 53 ft). Achieve this by using good quality screened,
twisted pair cable.
Distance between Antenna Readers from DIFFERENT SupaGates
To avoid mutual interference, install the Antenna Readers alongside each other at least
500 mm (20 in) apart.
Default Relay Selection
For passive Tags presented to Antenna Reader 1, Relay 1 is automatically
selected.
When using the Normal (4-Digit) PIN-code, if you enter the PIN-code on Antenna
Reader 1, Relay 1 is automatically selected.
Buttons 1 to 4 on the ImproX (QT) Quad Transmitter activate Relays 1 to 4 on the
SupaGate Controller
. If only Buttons 1 and 2 are pressed during the “Add RF
Tags” procedure then only those Buttons will activate the relevant Relays. Buttons
3 and 4 will have no action. Any combination is available. See Figure 1 for Button
locations.
