Receiving Antenna

RG-58 - 25 feet maximum

Receiver

Figure 8 Max distance between Receiver and receive antenna

Best results are achieved when the transmit antenna is no more than

50 feet from the Activator. However, distances of up to 100 feet are

possible with minimal degradation in performance. Contact Customer

Support for assistance with special installation needs.

Transmitting Antenna

RG-58 - 50 feet maximum

Activator

IMPORTANT!

System performance may be adversely affected if a

different cable is used, the cable length exceeds recommendations,

the cable is kinked, or the BNC connectors are improperly installed.

Basic Installation Steps

The following list shows the order in which the ActiveTag system

should be installed.

Step 1: IMPORTANT!

Bench test communications between the

ActiveTag system and the controller or device to which it

will be connected.

Step 2:

Configure the Activator – Give each Activator a unique ID

number if there will be multiple Activators on site.

Step 3:

Configure the output of the Receiver – for example, enable

Wiegand output if required. If there are multiple Activators,

program how the Receiver should respond to the Activator

ID(s).

Step 4:

Lay the entire ActiveTag system out and test the antenna

fields before permanently installing any piece of the

system.

Step 5:

Install the Activator and Receiver.

Step 6:

Install the transmit and receive antennas.
