4.2 Connection Ports Ethernet 10/100 RJ-45 (POE): 100m Max. cable length Ethernet 100BASE-FX (optical) LC Connector: 300m Max. cable length, multi-mode fiber 10 SMA Antennal Ports: (1 transmit, 8 receive, 1 Wi-Fi) Circular Connector: 5 pin 4.3 RF Frequencies RX: 2401, 2424, 2450, 2474 MHz TX: 2482 MHz Wi-Fi: 802.11a/n. 5GHz only 4.
DC Pins 3,4: 14-16Vdc, 1A max (Class 2 or LPS) NOTE: If a power adapter other than one provided by the manufacturer is used in the US or Canada, it should be cULus (NRTL) Listed, with an output rated 14-16Vdc maximum, minimum 1.0A, Marked “LPS” or “Class 2”, output rated SELV, non-energy hazardous, and suitable for connection to a standard power receptacle in the US and Canada. 5 Installation 5.
- Cable runs through air between buildings are less than 42m (140ft). - Cable runs between buildings are directly buried. - Cable runs between buildings are in underground conduit, where a continuous metallic cable shield or a continuous metallic conduit containing the cable is bonded to each building grounding electrode system. *These options are from the US National Electrical Code, Sections 800.10, 800.12, 800.13, 800.31, 800.32, 800.33, and 800.40. 5.
Figure 5 - Quick Release Adapter Mount, PN-006028 The Quick Release Adaptor Mount must be securely attached to the xBR module using 4 M4x.07mm x 5mm SHCS with Loctite 220 Applied to the threads. Figure 6 - Sheet Metal Mount, PN-003470 The Sheet Metal Mount must be securely attached to the mounting surface. For example, when mounting on drywall, wall anchors, toggle bolts, or expansion anchors should be used to provide more secure attachment points. 900-000230 Rev 0.
Figure 7 - Safety Cable Attachment Point Both mounting methods provide secure mounting for the xBR. However, as an added safety feature, the xBR housing has a safety cable attachment point for overhead installations or installations where a falling device may cause a hazard (see Figure 7 Safety Cable Attachment Point). Note: This device is not to be installed in air handling spaces (i.e. not plenum rated). 900-000230 Rev 0.
6 Connection Guide The xBR V4 Long Range Reader has several connection points as shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 - xBR V4 Connections: Figure 8 - xBR V4 RF Connections Transmit Antenna SMA – This is a female SMA connection for the transmit antenna. The transmit antenna must be installed at all times when the unit is powered up and transmitting. Transmitting without the antenna installed may damage the unit. This antenna must be of an approved or supplied type. Use of an unauthorized antenna is not allowed.
Figure 9 - xBR V4 Connections Ethernet 10/100 RJ-45 (PoE) – This is an RJ-45 jack for an Ethernet connection with optional Power over Ethernet (PoE) Ethernet 100BASE-FX – This is an LC connection for an optical Ethernet connection. DC Power Connector – This connector provides a means of powering the unit if PoE is not available. Connect only a supplied or approved power supply. The connector on the V4 is a Lemo EGG.1B.305.CYM. The mating connector is a Lemo FGG.1B.305.CLAD52Z (male pins).
When connecting a 14 to 16 Vdc power supply, use pins 4 and 5 on the connector (pin 4 positive, pin 5 negative). Leave the other pins unconnected (Figure 11). Figure 11 - DC Power Connector – 14 to 16Vdc Connection 900-000230 Rev 0.
