Anterus™ RFID Solution 8 Anterus RFID Solution Signal Strength Behavior of AMX RFID Tags and Readers The AMX RFID system tracks assets and personnel by measuring the strength of the RF signal rec ei ved from a periodically transmitting badge or tag.
Anterus™ RFID Solution 9 Anterus RFID Solution People and Objects When radio signals pass through materials other than air their strength is typically reduced more than passing through the same distance in air . The amount of additional decrease depends on the type of material.
Anterus™ RFID Solution 10 Anterus RFID Solution Conclusions T wo basic conclusions can be ma de from examining FIG. 9: First, a very strong signal implies the person or object is very close to the reader . This is simply due to the fact that it is impossible to recei ve a strong signal from far aw ay .
Installation 11 Anterus RFID Solution Installation Overview Installation and configuration of the Anterus solution includes connecting the ANT -RDR Reader to the NetLinx Master via AxLink, and using the ANT -RDR’ s built-in web interface to name each RFID tag, and specify communications and security settings.
Installation 12 Anterus RFID Solution Wiring Guidelin es The interface requires a 12 VDC power to operate properly . The interface uses a PSN2.8 po wer supply . The Central Controller supplies power via the AXlink cable or external 12 VDC power supply .
Installation 13 Anterus RFID Solution T o calculate the AXlink wiring distance formula for data an d power: 1. <T otal current consumption of all device's on AXlink cable> *<wire resistance per foot> * 2 = <voltage drop per foot>.
