Sentinel Installation Manual

alarms. Sentinel tags will self-alarm when tampered with, and also when removed from the protection

zone. Bringing the article back into the protection zone quiets the tag without having to take it back to the

personnel that a tag has been detected at the exit. Sentinel is perfect for a wide variety of applications

where assets need protection. Wherever smart protection is needed, Sentinel is the answer.

GENERAL RECOMMENDED RAD ARRANGEMENT

Recognizing that each installation may easily differ in size and shape, RAD placement will vary to

accommodate the differences.

General Tips

1. Optimum RAD height mounting should be kept to 3-5 meters (10-16 feet).

2. In central ceiling of area, a field RAD should be installed in a central location.

3. Then some field RADs should be installed in corner or side-wall locations and tilted at 45º towards the

center of the protected area.

4. Minimum of three fields RADs is recommended to mount at room corners for optimum Field.

5. EAS RAD (both Control Unit and TX Antenna set) should be mounted on the outside of the exit

and tilted 45º towards the outside to avoid radiating into the protected area.

6. Each field RAD will be assigned a synchronization ID (1 to 9). Multiple RADs may share the same ID

but they must not be physically installed at adjacent locations.

Notice: how to assign a synchronization ID to field RADs, please find reference in the RAD’s DIP

Switch Configuration Session in last page.

7. The POS RAD may be installed anywhere within the protected area but not near the EAS RAD.
