EDOC00049 - Large RFID Cabinet User Manual, rev 2

Operating Instructions
Basic Access Process
An end user will present an access badge to the proximity badge reader on the
cabinet. The badge needs to be presented close to the proximity reader. The
proximity reader area will illuminate white if access is granted or blink red and
beep twice if access is not granted.
The end user now can open the doors for a predetermined time period,
normally about five seconds. Otherwise the user will need to present the pass
again. Desired products may now then be taken out. The cabinet will give an
audible alarm if the doors are left open for, typically, more than five minutes.
Close the cabinet doors once products have been retrieved. The cabinet will
automatically lock the doors and begin its inventory process. The updated
inventory will then be sent to Terso Solutions for processing. The cabinet will
not be accessible during the inventory process. Typically, the inventory process
will take about a minute to complete. Access will then be restored and the
access process can be repeated.
Alarms
All cabinet alarms are automatically sent to Terso Solutions. Terso Solutions
staff may contact on site staff to assist in correcting a potential problem.
Alarm Types
Door Ajar
When cabinet’s doors are left open for longer than five minutes, an audible
alarm will sound until the doors are closed. If the doors appear to be closed,
verify nothing is obstructing the doors and attempt to re-close.
Power Outage
In the event of a power outage, an audible alarm will be sounded. The alarm
will continue until AC power has been restored or the onboard UPS system runs
out of power. Once power has been restored, the cabinet will perform an
inventory scan and then be ready for normal use.
Temperature
The cabinet continuously monitors its internal temperature where inventory
items are kept. If the temperature becomes too hot or cold, Terso Solutions
staff will contact on site staff to attempt to troubleshoot and/or move
temperature sensitive products to a safe location. The cabinet may also
prevent access if the inventory items have become compromised.
