TAGGABLE – LOCALIZATION LOC2xx | SICK 2
NOTE: Anchors are sensitive to RF electromagnetic fields in the
ranges 950±20 MHz and 1900±50 MHz. Performance can be
affected on exposure of anchor. To avoid that, it’s
recommended that minimum distance to DECT base station is
2 m and a minimum distance to UHF RFID readers is 1 m.
Only use shielded cables (CAT6 or higher) that are grounded
properly. Maximum cable length is 100 m for PoE from anchor
to PoE switch.
NOTE: Anchors needs to be connected to a physically
separated network, separate VLAN or firewall protected
network, due to security reasons and also to get the best
performance and have easier management. High traffic due to
the localization system could cause issues / slow down the
network if the anchors are in the same network as other critical
infrastructure.

Power over Ethernet
Connect anchor to network switch supporting PoE IEEE
802.3af standard with Ethernet CAT6 cable.
Once the anchor is connected to a stable power supply, a blue
LED blinks several times that indicates the anchor was turned
ON. Then LED is turned OFF.
DC 48 V, Passive PoE
Anchor can be also powered from single or multiple port PoE
injector with DC 48V output. Power supply is injected and
delivered into unused Ethernet pairs (Pairs 4,5 positive
terminal and 7,8 negative terminal).
NOTE:
Always use galvanic isolated 48V power adaptor with
short circuit protection for passive PoE injection. Never connect
“Power+Data” injector ports to the computer or other network
devices.
To get the best anchor performance it is recommended to
deploy all anchors to the same hight in a given localization
area and anchor position in the area should follow square
geometry with distance between each anchor from 5-15 m.
The ratio between the two sides of the square should not be
higher than 3:1.
If possible, always maintain a direct Line of Sight between
the tag and the anchors.
For narrow corridors zig-zag positioning is an option. This can
be very useful in narrow corridors, for example in large
warehouses. Be aware that this deployment decreases
precision in the Y axis, so use this option as a last resort:

Anchors are typically deployed at the height 3 – 6 meters
above the floor. Recommended mounting is with SICK wall
mount bracket and holder, available as accessory. Mount
LOCU 200-003 with the antenna pointing downwards in order
to get maximum possible performance.
NOTE: Keep a distance from anchor to any walls or metall
parts of at least 15 cm in all directions to avoid significant
degradation of performance.
