2.2 Cautions For Doors and Powered Devices
The Box Tunnel doors are removable, but this should not be done unless necessary. Never
bypass the switches.
Warning: The safety precautions described below must be observed at all times.
Please observe the Pinch Point and Live Voltage warnings on the system (see table below).
Sign
Safety Precaution
Control Box is under Live Voltage
Before opening the Control Box disconnect mains;
to service the electronics, fully remove the electrical
plug from the AC Mains socket.
Even when the Mains Control Switch is in the OFF
position or the fuse F1 is off, parts of the device can
be under live voltage.
“Pinch Point”
Keep hands/fingers clear of openings and when
applying or removing the enclosure doors.
Where these labels are applied, there is a potential
for squeezing or physical harm.
At the entrance and exit opening of the tunnel,
there is a high risk to get squeezed between a box
on the conveyor and the housing entrance.
Never put a hand or other body parts inside the
openings of the tunnel, except to service. When
servicing the device(s), the system must be turned
off completely as described above.

electronics, involved with the solution. The following components are also standard:
•
•
•
•
Control box
Light stack
(4) Lever action Switches to detect open doors
Shielding chambers (i.e. the walls)
3.4.1 Main Hardware
All antennas and electronics are mounted inside shielding to reduce RF spill to other
stations. There is no need to disassemble the conveyor at the installation. The enclosure
is designed to be built up around the conveyor.
Detection of the RFID tags/labels and the process for starting and stopping the RFID
Reader’s inventory (EPC read) are discussed later on this document.
Users do not typically have access to the control box electronics (5).
If advanced user maintenance or troubleshooting is expected, additional documentation
will be provided.

3.4.2 Light Stack (Signal Tower)
The light stack has three colors as indicators for the current status of the system.
Signal
Continuous on (or flashing)
Off
Red
Error/ Conveyor stopped
Normal operating mode
Amber
Reader’s RF transmit is on;
several other optional meanings
RF off
Green
System Health Status OK
Possibly no power/ wiring or
relay issue
All on
All LEDs are illuminated during startup
All off
Power is off
Note: LED states are configurable.
Combinations of the colors are expected (e.g. red and green LEDs both on at the same
time). For your unique application, Checkpoint FS/Engineering will provide documents
that indicate what each color means for your use case/control wiring.
3.5 Start Up Sequence
To start using the Box Station, the Operator must turn the Mains Control Switch to the
ON position. Immediately after, the 24V PSU and the safety relay (B4) are powered.
There is a Push Button Startup switch on the front of the Control Box. The start button
will be green (LED is illuminated), and this indicates that the system is ready to be
turned ON. The Operator must press the switch to initiate the start up.
Immediately after, the RFID Reader and additional relay components in the circuit are
powered. After approximately one minute (60 seconds), the system will be operation
(RFID Reader is booted up and the Light Stack changes color to Green or goes off,
depending on the configuration).
As an Optional feature, the system can be programmed to send a “Ready” signal to the
conveyor PLC to start the conveyor.
To turn Power OFF:
Turn the Mains Control Switch to the OFF position.

3.6 Normal Operation
The Box Station will detect EPCs which are previously encoded to the RFID tags/labels
which pass through it in lots (sometimes called “Bundles”). The “EPC-LOT” streaming data
is processed by an external system, either a Server (OAT Edge Box) or even cloud
services. The system can only accurately distinguish the EPC belonging to one shipping
container from another if it is properly tuned and there is adequate distance between
boxes. The minimum distance between boxes is a function of the speed of the conveyor.
Refer to the Marketing Sell Sheets and/or Installation Manual for more details.
3.6.1 RFID Start Sensor
The start sensor is positioned nearer to the tunnel entrance than the stop sensor. The
sensor’s rising edge signal is triggered by the leading edge of the box. The sensor’s
secondary signal is also triggered, and remains held in a low state while the box is
present. The Beam Switch function is driven without interaction with the RFID Reader.
When the antennas are “switched” this means the sensor detects a container/box in front
of it. The RFID Start Signal (Sensor 1 input) is routed to GPI2, and the reader turns on
Inventory when the signal arrives.
3.6.2 RFID Stop Sensor
The stop sensor only uses the primary output (only 1 connector attached to this cable,
while the start sensor has 2 connectors from it, accordingly). Its role is to tell the RFID
Reader to stop Inventory. The container/box in motion passes the sensor, which causes
the falling edge signal, which is what the I/O Board and RFID Reader are programmed to
look for. When the box passes, RFID reads stop.
3.6.3 Fixed Antenna
The RFID UHF Pattern is directional, with the polar pattern aimed toward the tunnel exit.
This antenna only transmits, like the others, between events of RFID Start and RFID Stop
trigger signals.
3.6.4 External Interfaces
The RFID Reader’s ETHERNET port will typically be connected to a LAN port for
customer network access (or else an “unmanaged switch”) where a local network can be
set up for the devices involved with the total solution to exchange communications. There
is a standard TCP/IP port reserved for incoming messages (OFS signaling to Wirama).
PuTTY can be used to see the outbound (EPC-LOT) streaming data or to check integrity
of the incoming messages.
There is also a cable reserved for hard-wired signaling to an external conveyor relay for
emergency Stop/Start of the conveyor based on reader events (see X3 Interface section
below).
3.6.5 Relay Functions
S1 is the Mains Control Switch (Power ON/OFF). S2 is the Start button with LED.
S3 to S6 are the Door switches. They are in series with the Safety Relay which can power
down the 12V Power Supply, causing the RFID Reader to shut off; meanwhile, the relay
triggers the appropriate Light Stack LED to indicate processing has halted.
When S1 is ON, the 24V PSU and the Safety Relay B4 are powered.
After momentary actuation of the Start button (S2 Switch) the reader PSU gets power and
K3 receives power.
When time relay K3 starts, K3-15/18 contacts are opened for one minute (60 seconds) .
During this time the reader boot up and set its outputs in a defined condition. The K315/18 will close after the defined time (one minute).

Box Tunnel Read Station User’s Manual
Page 12 of 16
The output to the PLC (Programmable logic controller) is then controlled by the reader.
This is the normal operating mode.
3.6.5.1 Input/Outputs and Door Switch shutdown
When GPO4 of the reader changes its state to turn on the red light from the signal tower,
the relay K2 will open the contacts K2-21/22. With (optional) wiring, the open contact
(normally closed circuit, now open) is the signal to the conveyor PLC telling it to stop the
conveyor.
When a network failure appears the reader will change the state of all Outputs. All 3
indicators from the signal tower off and K1-21/22- open the switch contact to the conveyor
PLC-information to stop the conveyor.
Opening a door will activate the safety relay B4.
The contact B4-13/14 will open and the reader PSU gets switched off.
The contact B4-23/24 will open and give a stop signal the conveyor PLC.
The contact B4-41/42 will close and P1 illuminate the Start switch S2 then.
The safety relay will remain in this state until all doors are closed again and the Start
button gets actuated to reset the safety relay.
3.6.5.2 X3 Interface function:
The interface X3 is a preassembled connector. Available from pins 3 and 1, the normally
closed circuit indicates normal operation. If a network failure, one of the 4 doors gets
opened or a power failure appears the contact between these pins gets an open state.
