AeroScout EX4200 Ultrasound Exciter Introduction 6 Introduction The AeroScout EX4200 Ultrasound Exciter is a component of the AeroScout suite of enterprise visibility solutions that enables location-based applications. The EX4200 Exciter extends the AeroScout suite to provide robust and sophisticated RFID detection capabilities, using the same AeroScout tags that can also be accurately located in real time by the AeroScout system. The EX4200 Exciter triggers AeroScout’s T2 Wi-Fi Ultrasound Tags in range, and the tags in turn transmit a message to AeroScout Location Receivers or compatible Access Points at room-level accuracy. This provides instant acknowledgment that a tagged asset was present in a specific room. The detection and programming capabilities of the Exciter, combined with the location features of the AeroScout Visibility System, make the AeroScout suite the most sophisticated enterprise visibility solution for a wide variety of industries. Figure 1: AeroScout EX4200 Exciter
AeroScout EX4200 Ultrasound Exciter EX4200 Features 7 EX4200 Features RFID detection of AeroScout Wi-Fi Ultrasound Tags The EX4200 triggers T2u Tags to transmit when entering a room. The Exciter is comprised of LF and ultrasound transmitters. High room separation The Ultrasound Exciter provides high room separation capabilities. Message Programming functions Provide the ability to use the EX4200 Exciter to store messages on the tag for later transmission. Message transmission can later be triggered by other Exciters, enabling sophisticated process control functions. Configurability The EX4200 Exciter is configured via System Manager. The configuration involves operations such as allocating an Exciter ID and setting power levels. Flexible Mounting and Usage Options The Exciter can be mounted on flat hard surfaces. Speaker System The EX4200 is equipped with two speakers covering the entire area in front of it in all directions (half-sphere). The speakers are rotatable so that they can be directed towards various points in the room. External Speakers Unit The optional External Speaker unit is designed to cover small rooms such as bathrooms adjacent to patient rooms or to extend the range of the Exciter in a large room. External LF Antenna Unit The optional External LF Antenna unit is especially designed to turn off the Exciter's ultrasound receiver when the asset leaves the room (the Exciter's internal antenna turns it on). It is positioned outside the room covered by the Exciter. It is typically deployed at the exit of patient rooms in the Nurse Call use case.
AeroScout EX4200 Ultrasound Exciter EX4200 Features 8 LED Indications The front panel of the EX4200 Exciter includes one green LED that blinks when transmitting. Connectors Panel Figure 2 describes the Exciter connector panel (bottom panel). Figure 2: AeroScout EX4200 Exciter Connectors Panel 1. Ethernet LAN Connection – RJ-45 interface. In a configuration that uses a physical Ethernet cable connection to the LAN, the network cable is attached here. Permanent connection to a wired network is not mandatory. However you must have a wired connection for configuring the Exciter. In addition, some of the monitoring functions will not be available if the Exciter is not wired. This connection is also used for Power over Ethernet (PoE, 802.3af). 2. Power jack – Accepts an input voltage of 48V DC. This is a standard 2.5mm jack connector for direct power supply. Alternatively, you can use the power supply that is packaged along with the Exciter. When PoE is used, this connection is not used. 3. Chain IN Connector – RJ-45 connector. This connector is used for receiving power from chained Exciters. 4. Chain OUT and Control Connector – RJ-45 connector. This connector is used for distributing power to chained Exciters and to connect the External LF Antenna unit. The output voltage is 12V DC. 5.

AeroScout EX4200 Ultrasound Exciter Connecting the Exciter to the Network and Power Source 10 Connecting the Exciter to the Network and Power Source The following is a brief summary of available powering and networking options: Usage option Description Single Exciter – not connected to network Exciters can be used as standalone devices that function independently without any network connection. In this case you need to connect the Exciter to the power supply only. Single Exciter – connected to network Exciters can be remotely controlled (for configuration and monitoring purposes) through the local area network. In this case you need to connect it to both a power source and the network. AeroScout Exciters also support power-over-Ethernet (PoE), which supply both power and network services via a single connection. Note Exciters with Hardware Version H1033 and above are equipped with 2 internal ultrasound speakers. Figure 4: HW Version indication on Aeroscout Exciters
AeroScout EX4200 Ultrasound Exciter Connecting the Exciter to the Network and Power Source 11 Usage option Description Single Exciter with External LF Antenna unit There is an option to connect an External LF Antenna unit to the EX4200 Exciter. The External LF Antenna unit should be mounted outside the room, next to the door. It should be configured to turn off the ultrasound receiver of the T2u Tag. Power Supply Options The various power supply options for powering up the Exciter are described below. Direct Power Supply Directly connect a 48VDC power source to the Exciter’s power jack (connector 2 in Figure 2). Note An Exciter requires approximately 10W of power. When connecting an Exciter to a direct power source with one of the above voltage levels, verify that the current level is sufficient. When using a direct power source for chained Exciters, you can drive power to no more than three Exciters sequentially even if the source power is sufficient for more. Unit shall be powered only by limited power source (marked LPS or NEC class 2) power supply. PoE Switch If your network has a Power-over-Ethernet infrastructure, you can connect a CAT-5 Ethernet cable from the PoE switch to the Exciter’s LAN connector (connector 1 in Figure 2). This supplies both the power and the network connection. Note PoE standard 802.3af class 0 allows power for not more than one Exciter. When using PoE with chained Exciters, a PoE connection must be made to every single Exciter in the chain. In addition, the LAN connectivity that the PoE supplies will not be utilized for slave Exciters in a chain.
AeroScout EX4200 Ultrasound Exciter Connecting the Exciter to the Network and Power Source 12 110/220 VAC to 48VDC PoE Single-Port Injector The PoE Single Port Injector converts 110/220VAC to 48VDC. In addition, it can receive a network connection and enable the installer to run a single cable to the Exciter’s LAN connector, thus supplying both power and network connectivity. When using this injector, the power jack of the Exciter will not be used. Figure 5: Single-Port Injector The injector’s IN connector is connected to the network. The injector’s OUT connector is connected to the Exciter’s LAN connector (connector 1 in Figure 2). The injector can be used for both networked and non-networked Exciters. In case of a non-networked Exciter, the IN connector on the injector is not used. Note An injector can provide enough power for one Exciter only. When using the injector with chained Exciters, an injector must be connected to every single Exciter in the chain. In addition, the LAN connectivity that the injector supplies, is not to be utilized for slave Exciters in a chain. 110VAC/220VAC to 48VDC Power Supply Adaptors These adaptors convert 110VAC or 220VAC inputs to 48VDC
AeroScout EX4200 Ultrasound Exciter Connecting the Exciter to the Network and Power Source 13 Figure 6: 110VAC to 48VDC or 220VAC to 48VDC Adaptor The adaptor is connected to the Exciter’s power jack). The network should be connected separately to the Exciter’s LAN connector (connector 1 in Figure 2). This adaptor is most common for chained Exciters. It can be used for supplying power to up to three Exciters. Power Connection Summary The following table summarizes the power connection options: Power supply Input Output Maximum Current Available Power Maximum # of Exciters with one source POE single port injector 100-240V AC 50-60Hz 48VDC 0.32A(1) 15.4W 1 Standard POE 802.3af switch port(2) - 48VDC 0.32A(1) 15.4W 1 External power source - 48VDC >1A >48W 3(3) Note Cable losses are included assuming cables are less than 100m long. The POE class should be 0. The Exciter port cannot support power required by more than three Exciters.
AeroScout EX4200 Ultrasound Exciter Chaining Exciters 14 Chaining Exciters In an area where the required LF coverage exceeds the capacity of one Exciter, you can chain up to three Exciters, thus extending the coverage area. For example, a large entrance gate for trucks and heavy equipment that is 30m wide might require three Exciters chained to one another. This solution is relevant for LF transmissions only. Exciter EX4200 can be chained to either another Exciter EX4200 or to an Exciter EX3210. The chained Exciters are treated by the system as a single entity. Their transmissions do not interfere with one another. Note The Exciters’ transmission ranges and physical position should be set in a manner that will allow overlapping between neighboring Exciters’ coverage areas. Figure 6 illustrates chained Exciters and shows the connections. Figure 7: Exciter chaining Chain Connection Up to 3 Exciters can be connected to each other in a chain, as follows: 1. The first Exciter in the chain that’s directly connected to the LAN is called the “master”. The others are called “slave”. Any EX4200 can be master. 2. The master is connected to the next slave from the master’s OUT connector (connector 4 3 in Figure 2) to the slave’s IN connector (connector 3 in Figure 2).
AeroScout EX4200 Ultrasound Exciter Chaining Exciters 15 3. A slave is connected to a subsequent slave in the same manner (from OUT to the next slave’s IN). 4. In the System Manager, under Exciter Properties, Settings, Mark the check box Exciter is Slave.The slaves will inherit the master's ID and its LF configurations aside from the transmission range. The transmission range and ultrasound settings need to be configured individualy for each Exciter. Note Exciter EX4200 chaining is supported by Exciter FW V308 or higher and Engine 4.3 or higher. Figure 8: Slave configuration in System Manager
AeroScout EX4200 Ultrasound Exciter Chaining Exciters 16 Chaining an EX3210 Exciter To connect the EX3210 Exciter to the EX4200 Exciter, follow these steps: 1. The EX4200 Exciter in the chain that’s directly connected to the PoE/LAN is called the “master”. The EX3210 Exciter is also a “master”. Each Exciter has its own ID. 2. Configure the EX3210 Exciter as not connected to the network. 3. Connect the EX3210 Exciter to the Chain Out connector of the EX4210 Exciter.
AeroScout EX4200 Ultrasound Exciter Connecting an External LF Unit 17 Connecting an External LF Unit The External LF Antenna Unit is designed to cover the exit of a patient room, typically in the Nurse Call use case. It turns off the Exciter's ultrasound receiver when the person leaves the room (the Exciter's internal LF antenna turns it on). It is positioned outside the room covered by the Exciter. The external antenna also clears the last ultrasound Exciter ID. The two devices communicate via a standard CAT5 cable connection. Connect the Exciter's Chaining OUT connector to the external LF unit's IN connector. The external LF's LED blinks while the Exciter transmits. Connecting an External Speaker Unit The external speaker unit is designed to cover smaller rooms such as bathrooms adjacent to patient rooms or to extend the range of the Exciter in a large room. The device is equipped with two speakers. You can turn on and off both speakers independently using the On/Off switches on the side panel. Figure 9: External LF/Speaker unit The Exciter and External Speaker unit communicate via a standard CAT5 cable connection. To connect the External Speaker to the Exciter, first, remove the AUX connector cover (Figure 10). Second, connect the Exciter's AUX connector to the External Speaker's IN connector.

AeroScout EX4200 Ultrasound Exciter Deployment Considerations 28 Deployment Considerations The section provides recommendations on how to deploy the Exciter to prevent leakage beyond the confines of the room and avoid poor coverage of the room area. When mounting a single EX4200 Exciter, either mount it on the same wall as the entrance door or on the ceiling above it. The speaker should be directed away from the door, towards the opposite wall. The following figure illustrates the case. Medium room size: 7x4.6x2.6mExciter is installed on the wall or ceiling far from the doorMax leakage 1.5mAcute angleTagPower=2 (high) Figure 25: Exciter deployment consideration In larger rooms that cannot be covered by one Exciter, install two Exciters on the same wall, a few meters apart. Make sure their effective range overlap. The Exciters should be configured with Enable Multiple Ultrasound Exciters usage in the room=Yes (check the box). The following figure illustrates the case.
AeroScout EX4200 Ultrasound Exciter 29 Big room size: 11x8x2.6mExciter is installed on the wall or ceiling far from the doorMax leakage 1.5mAcute angleTagPower=3 (max)Ultrasound listen protocol Figure 26: Multiple Exciter deployment consideration In a Nurse Call application, the EX4200 Ultrasound Exciter can be deployed with a chained LF Exciter. The EX4200 Exciter is mounted at the entrance of the room (inside). When the tag enters the room, the on-board LF enables the ultrasound receiver. An External LF Antenna unit or EX3210 Exciter is mounted outside the room, at the entrance. The LF should cover the entrance with minimal leakage into the room or into adjacent rooms. The External LF Antenna unit disables the ultrasound receiver when the tag leaves the room. For more information on deployment considerations, please refer to the Exciter Deployment Guide. WARNING: Devices that transmit an ultrasound signal, like ultrasonic occupancy detectors, may interfere with the proper functionality of ultrasound tags. It is recommended to disable the ultrasound components of these devices.
