The equipment must be disconnected from all voltage sources before any installation
or service work is carried out. Capacitors inside the equipment can hold their charge
even if the equipment has been disconnected from all voltage sources.
Caution!
Damage may be the result if the equipment is switched on when parts are removed
from the controller board, or if a PCB is removed within one minute after switching off
the equipment.
3.2.1 Tools
The following tools are necessary for installation:
• Adjustable spanner
• Screwdriver, Torx T20
•
Screwdriver, Philips PH00x60 or SZS 0,4x2,5
• Side cutter
• Wire stripper
• Crimping tool for ferrules
3.2.2 Cables and Power Supply
Cables and power supply are not supplied with the XT-3 reader.
All cables should be shielded and suitable for the installation environment, for instance
indoor or outdoor environment. Use flexible cables with stranded wire. The reader
chassis should be grounded during installation. This is done using the ground screw
(position 12 in Figure 4 Overview of the reader with open lid). As an alternative a
metallic cable gland can also be used to connect to the reader chassis to ground using
the power cable shielding.
The terminal blocks used are Phoenix, type PT 1.5, which allow for a cable area of 0.2
to 1.5 mm² (AWG 26-14). Stranded wires must be fitted with a ferrule before being
inserted in the termination blocks.
The cable for the RS485 interface must be a twisted pair cable and conform to the EIA
RS485 standard. When using RS485 communication, correct termination of the
interface must always be considered in order to handle transmission-line effects. The
Reader has no built-in RS-485 termination as the termination points depends on the
number of transceivers in the network.
A category 5 (CAT5e) cable is required for the Ethernet connection.
The reader shall be powered by a UL Listed or Certified, Class 2 or LPS power supply
suitable for outdoor use, rated 24 V DC, 1 A minimum. The power supply shall fulfil the
specifications in section 5.4.2, “Power supply, J31”.
3.3 Mounting the Reader
Mount the reader in a horizontal position with the cable glands on the bottom side.
Direct the reader so that the reading lobe covers the positions of the ID-tags.
