Chaining EX5210R Exciters
In an area where the required LF coverage exceeds the capacity of one Exciter,
you can extend the coverage by chaining several Exciters. For example, a large
entrance with two sets of double doors too wide for a single Exciter might
require two Exciters chained together.
The system treats Chained Exciters as a single device with a single ID.
Transmissions do not interfere with one another.
Each Exciter must be positioned to allow transmission range overlap between
neighboring Exciters. This ensures full coverage of the area.
Figure 8 shows 5 Chained Exciters, their connections and the state of each
Exciter termination switch.

EX5210R Chain Connection
Up to 8 Exciters can be connected in a chain, as follows:
1.
The first Exciter in the chain, directly connected to the LAN, is designated
the “Primary”. Other Exciters are designated “Chained”.
EX5210R Exciters can act as either Primary or Chained Exciters.
2.
The Primary Exciter is connected to the first Chained Exciter as follows:
Primary
Chaining OUT
to Chained
Chaining IN
.
3.
Chained Exciters are then connected as follows: Chaining OUT to Chaining
IN.
