WarningsThe 3D-iD Antenna is intended for indoor use only. Use of the Antennaoutdoors can cause damage to its internal components. Contact yourPinPoint sales representative for details regarding outdoor use of the3D-iD system.Do not mount the Antenna in places that are excessively humid orwhere it is likely to get wet.When placing your antenna, keep in mind that metallic objects, densewalls, microwave ovens and other obstacles can alter radio signals,limiting the Antennas effectiveness. See your certified system integratorfor proper Antenna placement.The antenna must be installed so that there is at least a 6 inch gapbetween it and any possible contact with people. Failure to install it inthis fashion may invalidate the users license to operate this product.

About AntennasThe 3D-iD Antennas are attached to the Cell Controller and are DCpowered by special, low-loss Coaxial Cables. Up to sixteen (16)Antennas may be attached to a single Cell Controller. The Cell Con-troller generates a 2.44GHzradio signal which it sends to the Antennavia the Coaxial Cable connecting them. The Antenna broadcasts thesignals to the surrounding area with an ellipsoidal radiation pattern. AnyTags that are within range recieve the signal, add their serial number,and transflect the signal back to the antenna at 5.77GHz. The Antennathen sends the response back down to the Cell Controller whichmeasures the delay between when the signal was sent and when it wasreceived, thus generating Tag-Antenna Distance (TAD) data.Diagram of Cell Controller, Tags, Antennas and the Software system.The Antennas come with a mount allowing them to be attached to a flatsurface, such as a wall. For other mounting configurations, pleasecontact your certified 3D-iD system integrator.
Antenna Placement TipsThe exact location of Antennas will be determined by a certified 3D-iDsystem integrator. The Antennas will be positioned to optimize thelocating capability of the system in accordance with the requiremetnsset forth by the customer.The Antennas must be placed within sufficient distance of their corre-sponding Cell Controller (100 feet). The Coaxial Cables connecting anAntenna to its Cell Controller must not be stretched, kinked or other-wise damaged during Antenna installation.The Antennas should not be placed very close to metal walls, micro-wave ovens or other objects that will hinder their performance. Metallicobjects and dense walls can alter the radiation pattern of the Antennas.The Antennas should be mounted in locations that prevents accidentalcontact or intentional destruction. Mounting the Antennas near ceilingsand out of reach is strongly recommended.The antenna must be installed so that there is at least a 6 inch gapbetween it and any possible contact with people. Failure to install it inthis fashion may invalidate the users license to operate this product.
Mounting the AntennaThe Antenna mount is intended for flat walls of varying construction.Please contact your certified 3D-iD system integrator for other mount-ing applications.1) Using the appropriate hardware, securely attach the circular base-plate of the mount to a flat surface in the desired location. Ensuresufficient clearance is left between the baseplate and any nearby ceilingsand walls to allow for full adjustment of the Antenna once it is mounted.2) Attach the mounts post to the base plate. Tighten the lock nut with apliers.3) Prepare the Antenna by attaching the small, rectangular mountingplate to the back of the Antenna with the two (2) included 1/2 screwsand washers.4) Attach Antenna to mount by aligning the mounting plate on theAntenna with the threaded bolt at the end of the post and rotating theAntenna until it stops. Tighten the locknuts to secure the Antenna.PICTURES OF 1) BASE PLATE AND POST IN WALL2) BACK OF ANTENNA WITH MOUNTING PLATE
1) Loosen both set screws on the mount with the enclosed wrench.Align the Antenna so it is oriented in the direction indicated by thesystem integrator. Tighten both set screwsTechnical Specification2) Attach the Antenna to its appropriate Coaxial Cable. For tensionrelief, insert a tie wrap through theguide on the back of the antenna andsecure the Coaxial Cable with the tie-wrap.Installing the AntennaPICTURE OF MOUNTED ANTENNAFrequency: Tx: 2442 + 83.5 MHzRx: 5800 + 150 MHzPower: 12 V DC (supplied from coaxial cable)Radiation Pattern: Ellipto-conical (62° azimuth, 32° elevation)Dimensions: 10 x 7x 2Environment: -20°C  40°C (operating range)5% - 95% humidity, no condensationSee Cell Controller/Antenna Data Sheets for details
