Installation & User Guide

Environmental Conditions
The Intel® RSP Hx000 Series Sensor is designed to operate at 100% transmit duty-cycle in
ambient temperature conditions of up to 35˚C provided there is airflow across the back
plate of the device. The Intel® RSP can also operate at 100% transmit duty-cycle in ambient
temperature conditions of up to 35˚C when mounted with the back-plate flush against a
horizontal surface.
The Intel® RSP Sensor can operate at higher ambient temperature conditions by
autonomously controlling the transmit duty-cycle. However, once the internal
microprocessor reaches a temperature of 104˚C, the Intel® RSP software will shut down to
prevent damage and memory corruption.
10.3.5
Power over Ethernet
Power over Ethernet (POE) is a mechanism for supplying power to network devices over
the same cabling used to carry network traffic. POE allows the Intel® RSP to receive both
power and data over a single cable. This feature simplifies network installation and
maintenance by using an Ethernet switch with integrated POE as a central power source for
all types of Intel® RSP. The challenge during installation is to calculate the total power
consumption required making sure it is less than the power budget of the Ethernet switch.
The Juniper* EX2200-24P-4G is a recommended switch for Intel® RSP networks due to its
remote manageability and sufficient 400W power budget to provide POE for an Intel® RSP
on each of the 24 ports. However, any 48V POE+ switch is sufficient.

Antenna and Mounting Consideration for the Intel® RSP H1000 models
10.3.6.1
Antenna Cabling Infrastructure
Poorly or incorrectly installed RFID Antenna cabling can cause problems with the Intel® RSP
H1000. Even a small kink in the cable can cause an impedance mismatch resulting in poor
tag read performance. Always be sure to follow the instructions provided by the antenna
manufacturer.
10.3.6.2
Recommended Antennas
This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below, and having a
maximum gain of 8.5 dB. Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater than 8.5
dB are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50
ohms.
