• A pair of Model A RF passage antennas is
required to protect doors between .9m (3ft) and
1.8m (6ft). The wire loop is required for this
configuration.

Asset Management Requirements
RF passage readers that detect assets (whether
they detect assets and badges or assets only) are
always configured in multiple-antenna
configurations that include one pair of Model A
antennas and one pair of Model B antennas to
protect doors/portals up to 1.8m (6ft).

When a door that detects assets also secures an
area through the use of access control badges, the
Model A antenna pair is installed outside the
secured area. For doors/portals that detect assets
only (badges are not detected), it does not matter
which side has Model A and which side has Model
B antennas.

A wire loop is required for doors/portals greater
than .9m (3ft) wide. At doors/openings that are .9m
(3ft) or less, a wire loop is optional.
Coordinating with Software
Features
The C•CURE 800/8000 application provides
several features that require specific hardware
components or configurations including:
• Asset/badge linking requires that systems be
configured with four RF passage antennas at
secured doors/portals.
• Check out feature requires that RF readers be
configured with PIR or other exit detection
devices.
Configuration Requirements
Configuration requirements provide information
needed when selecting hardware components and
planning the installation. Requirements are
provided for the following:
• RF passage antennas
• RF controllers
• Host panel (apC or iStar)
• RF controller power supply
• External power
• Cabling
• Asset tag
• Access control badge
RF Passage Antennas
• See Cabling on page 3-5 for maximum cable
distance between RF passage antennas and
RF controller.
• A wire loop is recommended for antenna pairs
when they are installed at doors/portals greater
than .9m (3ft) wide. A wire loop is optional for
antenna pairs installed at doors/portals that are
.9m (3ft) or less.
Note: The wire loop generally enhances RF
antenna performance. Occasionally,
environmental noise conditions can cause the
wire loop to degrade performance.
