• Two transceiver antennas or two pairs of Tx/Rx
antennas for tag and label detection.
• One remote alarm (optional), but the controller
supports two-alarm configurations with two
internal relays.
• Two noise canceling antenna kits to reduce the
effect of electro-magnetic interference
(optional).
• Four external devices, such as cameras,
activated by two relays in the controller
(optional).
• A service laptop for configuration and trouble-
shooting.
• A SyncLink transmitter to synchronize the
detectors with deactivators at the site
(optional).
• An Ultra*Link device (optional).
• An RS-485 network (optional). This manual
only describes how to connect a controller to
an RS-485 network. For information on setting
