Aisle Width
The maximum aisle width for the PX/QX Liberty antennas (with 410 series tag) is:
PX with Coupler (PAB/SAB) – 1.8 m [6 ft]
QX with Coupler (PAB/SAB) – 1.2 m [4 ft]
System performance is affected by aisle width and tag type. For aisle width details please refer to
the Liberty Product Reference Guide
Power Supply
Both PX and QX with coupler antennas utilize a +24 VDC power supply.
Placement
The power supply can be placed near the system, under a cashwrap counter, under shelving, above
the drop ceiling (if using plenum-rated cabling), or in a nearby utility closet.
Placement Requirements:
The power supply must be within 18m [60ft] of the furthest antenna.
The power supply must be placed no higher than what is accessible from a store ladder.
If mounted in a plenum space, proper plenum rated wiring and plenum rated enclosures
are required.
Note: For more information about power supplies, please see “Power Supplies” on Appendix 2

Wire Routing
Methods of Wire Routing
The cabling between PAB and SAB has to be routed either under floor or through floor wiremold.
“Up & Over” routing method is not permitted for cabling between PAB and SAB.
Figure 5 Methods of Wire Routing
Floor Trench: Typically 1.3cm [.5in.] wide by 3.8cm [1.5in.], but an increase in
dimensions is recommended for more than two antennas.
Wiremold: 1500 or 2600 series wire mold can be utilized. Typically wire mold is not
used within customer traffic areas, so a typical placement is from the outside of the
antennas to the doorframe.
Conduit: 2.5cm [1in.] diameter conduit can be utilized in new construction situations. It is
recommended that swept 90 degree angles are used, and that pull-strings are provided by
the conduit installer.
Wall / Mullion: Wires can be contained within mullions, and hollow walls for vertical
wire runs.
Dek-Duct / Panduit: Wires can be contained within surface mount Dek-Duct or Panduit
for vertical wire runs.
WARNING: Any wiring in plenum areas must be plenum rated. Additionally, ensure that the
wire is installed in accordance with applicable (local/national) electrical codes.

ANT ENN A WI RING
Overview
This chapter describes the PX/QX with Coupler primary (PAB) and secondary (SAB) antennas
wiring and cabling.
WARNING: This system runs on TR4026† electronics with firmware 46.0 or higher. It is critical
to note that ONLY TR4026 electronics can be used in conjunction with this system.
Information is covered in the following sections:
1. General wiring instruction
2. Single Aisle wiring
3. Multi Aisles wiring
General Wiring Instruction
This section describes how to prepare and wire all cables and wires involved in the antenna
installation. Wires can be cut to required length.
Wiring between PAB/SAB
There are only two (2) wires connected between PAB and SAB. They are 1) RG59 coax cable and
2) SAB Light cable (22 AWG 4-conductor (STP) (5594))
RG59 Coax Cable:
A 3m[10ft] long, one end pre-terminated RG59 coaxial cable is packed with SAB antenna. It
connects the coupler boards (J5) in the primary antenna (PAB) and in the secondary antenna
(SAB). It is recommended to leave the pre-terminated end at the SAB. The installer has to
terminate the other end at the primary antenna.
1. Strip the coax cable jack off for about 19mm [3/4in] at the un-terminated end, as shown
in Figure 6 RG 59 Coax cable wiring diagram (A).
2. Separate and twist the shield braid tightly, leaving now loose strands.
3. Strip the center conductor to about 6 mm [1/4 in], insert it into connector pin #1, then
tighten it with screwdriver.
4. Insert the twisted shield braid to the connector pin #2, and secure it with screwdriver.
5. Clamp 2 ferrite cores on each ends (PAB and SAB).
† Modified TR4024 electronics may be used in the first few shipments.

Wiring between PABs
When multiple antenna aisles are installed, it may require installing sync wire and network
communication cable between the aisles. For PX/QX with Coupler installation, all sync cables and
network communication cables are connected to the TR4026 electronic boards in the primary
antennas (PABs).
Sync Cable
The sync cable (RF Sync) needs to be installed between PABs if the distance between aisles is
under 40 feet. If two aisles are more than 40 feet apart, no sync cable is needed. Use 22 AWG
4-conductor (STP) (5594) cable for sync cable. Follow the Sync Cable Wiring Table below to
wire it to appropriate terminals. Sync cables are wired in daisy chain style. There are two sync
cables in a PAB antenna, the input cable and the output cable The first PAB only uses Sync
Output cable, the last PAB has the Input sync cable. The Output cable connects from terminal (J10)
to next PAB’s Sync Input terminal (J9). Figure 8 Wiring Sync Cable illustrates the wiring method.
Please refer the table below for Sync wire terminal connector pin assignment.

Communication Cable
It is also called inter-pedestal network cable. It enables communications between aisles. Similar to
the Sync wire, inter-pedestal communication network is wired as daisy chain. J14 and J13 are the
input and output terminals. The first PAB is only installed with Comm Out cable at terminal J13.
It connects to the second PAB’s input terminal J14. Then the second PAB’s J13 is connected to
the third PAB’s J14. The last PAB in the daisy chain only has the Comm In cable which is
connected to its J14 terminal. Unlike the sync cable wiring, the first PAB and last PAB in the
inter-pedestal network require additional termination jumper settings. Please refer to the Figure 10

Multi-Aisle Wiring
A Multi-Aisle installation is when there are more than one antenna pairs installed at an
entrance/exit location. Multi-Aisle installation consist two (2) or more primary antennas (PAB). If
the distance between two (2) aisles is shorter or equal to 40 feet, sync cable(s) is needed to connect
PABs’ RF sync terminals. In addition, a 24VDC power supply can drive 2 aisles (except

Multi-Aisle Setup
The difference between a multiple aisles system and a single aisle system is that there is a master
aisle in the multiple aisles system, and the rest aisles are the sub master systems. Therefore, in
addition to setup the PAB/SAB (coupler), it needs to setup the master/submaster configuration.
Therefore the steps involved in a multiple aisles system are:
1. Make a new DMS connection – for new installation
2. Setup the aisles as PAB/SAB (coupler) operation mode
3. Setup Master and Sub Master aisles
4. Antenna Tuning
Step 1, 2 and 4 are the same process as described in Single Aisle Setup.
Step 3 Setup Master and Sub Master aisle.
There only one master antenna in a multi-aisle system. Remaining pedestals are set to submasters.
1. Select the master antenna from the network view
2. Click Configure Settings on the right side.
3. Select Switch Settings from the Configure Settings window, then, click Next.
4. Click the “Band” tab, and select the Master from the Master/Submaster selection box.
5. Click Apply. A success setting message box will come up. Click OK. Then, click Close
to return to network view.
