3 Preparing the installation
When preparing an installation with FC-line products, there are a few things that should be taken into account:
How many gates one needs to cover an entrance or door.
Where the gates will be placed in relation to the environment, for example to minimize interference
(RF).
It is preferred to install the FC-line gate on the floor mount column. This will up the performance of the
system and still gives a clean look in the store.
What cabling need to be applied (Cat 5E cable).
The maximum distance between antennas is 2200 mm / 7.2 ft (2000mm / 6.6 ft recommended).
Mounting distance from the ground must be 200 mm / 8".
For mounting on concrete and stone walls, chemical anchors are preferred
For mounting on steel frames, EPDM rivet blinds are necessary, which are included in the installation
set
Distance brackets (25 mm / 0.98") are provided in the installation set, when possible install the FC-line
products with these distance brackets. This will improve the performance of the system, especially
recommended for steel frames.
The firewall settings that need to be in place to enable Device Management
Defining the system
When the store owner requires gates to be placed at several locations, one needs to decide on how to
combine these gates into one or multiple systems. The following rules shall be taken into account:
Create as large systems as possible. To minimize interference between gates, the Renos platform has a
built-in synchronization mechanism. For this synchronization mechanism to work, the gates need to be
connected in one system.
However, the maximum cable length requirements needs to be satisfied. If it is not possible to put all
the gates in one system due to the maximum cable length requirements of 100 meters / 109 yd, you
can split the gates into two or more systems. In this case assign each system a different multi-system
during the RF configuration.channel
