1 2 3 4 5 6 Reader Overview INfinity 510 User’s Guide, P1.04 1 Reader Overview Introduction The INfinity 510 is a multiprotocol, multiregional Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) System that operates in the 860 – 960 MHz UHF band. Figure 1 INfinity 510 UHF Reader As shown in the following figure, this high performance reader supports up to four Tx/Rx antennas and one Listen before Talk (LBT) antenna and is equipped with both serial and Ethernet interfaces. Discrete digital inputs and outputs are also provided. Figure 2 INfinity 510 Power and I/O Connections
1 2 3 4 5 6 Reader Overview 2 INfinity 510 User’s Guide, P1.04 The INfinity 510 is equipped with four status indicators located on the top of the enclosure. These LEDs provide indication for the following: h Sense – Indicates reader has detected a tag in the RF field. h Transmit – Indicates the reader’s transmitter is operating (RF on). h Fault – Indicates a fault occurred. h Power – Indicates that power is applied to the reader. During power up, the LEDs will momentarily flash.

1 2 3 4 5 6 Reader Equipment Installation 4 INfinity 510 User’s Guide, P1.04 Mounting the Antennas The INfinity 510 supports from one to four antennas in a variety of configurations. One and two-antenna configurations are typical for most conveyor and container tracking. Four-antenna configurations are used for portals and loading dock doorways. The optional Sirit provided antennas are for indoor use only and must be installed on a solid surface or frame to prevent damage or later misalignment. It is highly recommended that the antenna mounting be adjustable in order to obtain the best performance from the system. WARNING: FCC Radiation Exposure Statement. The antennas used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. .

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Sirit Inc for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. Connecting the Serial Port The INfinity 510 is equipped with one DB9 type RS-232 serial port for communication up to 115 Kbaud. If you are using the serial port for reader communication, connect a serial cable from the COM port on your PC to the serial port on the reader. See Figure 2 for location of the connector.
1 2 3 4 5 6 Reader Equipment Installation 6 INfinity 510 User’s Guide, P1.04 Connecting the Ethernet Port The maximum Ethernet cable length is 30 meters. If you are communicating with your reader across a Local Area Network (LAN), connect an Ethernet cable from your hub or router to the RJ-45 connection. See Figure 2 for location of the connector. If you are connecting the reader directly to a PC, you must use a crossover cable. See Note to the left. Connecting the Antennas The maximum antenna cable length is 10 meters. Connect the antenna to antenna port 1. If you are using additional antennas connect them to Ports 2-4. If applicable, connect the LBT antenna to the Listen port Caution: The INfinity 510 UHF Reader is equipped with four (4) RF ports. To prevent reader damage, active RF ports must be properly terminated with a 50 ohm load or a functional UHF antenna before power up. UHF Readers are factory configured to operate on RF port 1. As a result, port 1 must be properly terminated before initially powering on the reader. Before activating any additional RF ports, they must also be properly terminated. Never power up the reader unless the appropriate loads or antennas are connected. Always power down the reader before removing an antenna or load from an RF port. The maximum antenna cable length is 10 meters. Connecting Digital Inputs/Outputs The INfinity 510 is equipped with a general purpose digital input/output (I/O) port that provides four optically isolated 5-24 Vdc input signals and four open-collector output signals. The digital inputs can be used as general purpose inputs or to trigger the reader for tag reading. These inputs can be configured to provide an external read trigger from proximity sensors, photoswitches, or other devices. The digital outputs can be used as general purpose outputs, to indicate tag reading activity, or to indicate the reader is transmitting (RF On). The outputs can also be configured to trigger conveyor gates or other access control and sorting devices. Connecting the Power Connect the 15 Vdc power supply to the reader and connect the power supply to your 100-240 Vac, 50-60 Hz power source. Allow 30 seconds for the reader to initialize. Ethernet Cables In most cases, you will connect the INfinity 510 to a network hub or router. However, if you are connecting directly to a PC or other computer, you will need a Crossover Cable that swaps the Tx and Rx signals.

Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada, unless power into the antenna is decreased to compensate for the increased antenna gain. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful communication. The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit an RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada’s website at www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb. Optional Sirit supplied antennas are for indoor use only.
