Manual iSense Lumen series

1.  

2.  

When preparing an installation with products from the iSense Lumen series, there are a few things that should

be taken into account:

How much gates you would need to cover an entrance or door

Where the gates will be placed in relation to the environment, to minimize interference (RF) and

reflections (RFID)

The number of Power Inserters that is needed to power the system

Which cabling needs to be installed

Ready for upgrade to RFID. When this required, make sure to take the number of power inserters in

consideration and you might want to place the coax cables in the floor already for future RFID.

The firewall settings that need to be in place to enable Device Management

As those requirements differ based on which technology is used (RF, RFID or both), both technologies are

described in a different section.

If the gate is going to be free-standing in a super- or hypermarket environment, please take proper

precautions in terms of crash-protection. When customer guidance rails are available, you can use

those rails to protect the antenna against crashes by placing the antenna behind or after the

customer guidance rails.

When not available, use Nedap crash protection against shopping carts.

Defining the system

When a store requires gates to be placed at several locations, there needs to be a decision on how to combine

these gates into one or multiple systems. The following rules need to be taken into account:

A different role is a different system. It is not possible to combine gates for Electronic Article

Surveillance (EAS) with gates for stock room to sales floor in one system. Both roles need different

systems with their own Power Inserter and customer network connection.

Within the EAS role, create as large systems as possible. To minimize interference between gates, the

Renos platform has a built-in synchronization mechanism for both RF and RFID technology. For this

synchronization mechanism to work, the gates need to be connected in one system.
