Connecting the External Antenna
The ID
entity
5100 supports one auxiliary external Tx/Rx antenna. The
maximum antenna cable length is 10 meters. Connect the antenna to the
antenna port located on the bottom of the reader.
Refer to Chapter 7 – Specifications for specific information regarding the
external antenna and antenna cable.
Caution:
The IDentity 5100 is equipped with one (1) auxiliary RF port which is inactive
when shipped from the factory. If activated, this RF port must be properly
terminated with a 50 ohm load or a functional UHF antenna before power up.
Always power down the reader before removing an antenna or load from an RF
port.
The maximum antenna cable length is 10 meters.
ATTENTION
The IDentity 5100 antenna port may be susceptible to damage from
static discharge or other high voltage. Use proper Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD) precautions to avoid static discharge when handling or
making connections to the IDentity 5100 reader antenna or
communication ports. Equipment failure can result if the antenna or
communication ports are subjected to ESD.
Connecting Digital Inputs/Outputs
The ID
entity
5100 is equipped with a general purpose digital input/output
(I/O) port that provides four optically isolated 5-24 Vdc input signals and
four open-collector output signals. The digital inputs can be used as general
purpose inputs or to trigger the reader for tag reading. These inputs can be
configured to provide an external read trigger from proximity sensors, photo
switches, or other devices.
The digital outputs can be used as general purpose outputs, to indicate tag
reading activity, or to indicate the reader is transmitting (RF On). The
outputs can also be configured to trigger conveyor gates or other access
control and sorting devices.
Connecting the Power
The ID
entity
5100 operates on 24 Vdc provided through the bulkhead
connector on the rear of the reader. Connect the power supply to the reader
and connect the power supply to your 100–240 Vac, 50-60 Hz power
source. Allow 30 seconds for the reader to initialize.
Refer to the Chapter 8 –
Specifications
for details on the bulkhead
connector.
