Elpas LF BUS Beacon
Installation Guide
For P/Ns: 5-ALA00125-11, 5-ALA00125-12 & 5-ALA00125-2
Introduction
This installation guide provides basic instructions for common LF BUS Beacon installation scenarios.
CAUTION! It is important that you read, understand, and follow the instructions in this document. If you have questions, call your local Elpas support representative.
Product Description
The Elpas LF BUS Beacon is a fully supervised, 125KHz
emitter that adds instantaneous location (choke-point)
awareness to RTLS security and safety applications
The LF BUS Beacon generates a user-adjustable, spherical
shaped electromagnetic field up to 1.5m/5ft in radius that can
be used to cover a single interior doorway. Optionally, up to
four LF BUS Beacons can be deployed in ‘Primary–Secondary’
star or daisy-chain topologies to cover large double-doors or
architectural complex indoor entrance/exit areas
The LF BUS Beacon also contains an I/O port that enables the
monitoring of one alarm sensor and control of either one digital
open-collector output or one 26-bit Wiegand device
Note: An Elpas RS-485 BUS may contain up to fifteen Elpas BUS
devices (such as RF or IR Readers, Elpas Display Panels, LF Beacons
or other Primary BUS Beacons) which are wired together using Elpas
RS-485 Junction Boxes (P/N:5-JBA00485).
LF BUS Beacon (Primary) - Sample Network Topology
Primary/Secondary Beacons – Front View
Front Cover Tamper Switch: All BUS beacons contain a
tamper switch which indicates non-authorized attempts to
remove the device’s front cover when in operation.
The tamper switch is also used to control the coverage area of
the LF field. (See page 4 for details.)
Status LED: All BUS beacons contain a Red, Green and
Orange LED array that detail the status of the devices:
 Green LED
Unregistered: Flashes once/second
Power up/Communication Loss/Sync Cable Disconnected:
Flashes once/second
 Red LED
Invalid ID: Flashes once/second - See page 4 for additional details
Device Tamper: Flashes once/second
Output Activated: Flashes once
LF BUS Beacon (Front View-Cover Removed)
 Orange LED
Flashes to indicate the selected LF field range - See page 5 for
additional details
DIP Switch: Only the Primary Beacon has an eight-position DIP
Switch for assigning its ID Address. (See page 4 for details.)
Primary/Secondary Beacons – Rear View
Rear Cover Tamper Switch: All BUS Beacons contain a dual
purpose tamper switch which indicates non-authorized attempts
to remove the device’s rear cover when in operation.
RS-485 Interface: All BUS beacons contain a female RJ-11
connector for linking to the RS-485 Junction Box. This connector
is used for both power & data. (See page 2 for details)
Buzzer: The beacon has a buzzer that sounds when an
improper ID Address has been assigned. (See page 4 for
details.)
General Purpose Inputs: All BUS Beacons have general
purpose inputs. (See page 6 for details.)
Digital Output: The primary beacon and the secondary beacon
have one digital output. (See page 6 for details.)
LF BUS Beacon (Rear View)
IMPORTANT: BUS Beacons MUST BE powered-down while wiring the
unit’s I/Os and when connecting to the RS-485 BUS. This will prevent
accidental shorts/spikes to cause damage to the devices

LF BUS Beacon – Installation Guide
RS-485 BUS/Stub Topology
The RS-485 BUS MUST BE wired using a BUS/Stub topology where the BUS Master (a RF IP Reader or an ELC Controller) is connected
anywhere along the BUS. The topology supports data transmission between the BUS Master and up to 15 Elpas BUS Devices (such as RF or IR
Readers; LF Beacons primary & secondary), Elpas Display Panels and 6x6 I/O Modules using Elpas RS-485 Junction Boxes (P/N: 5-JBA00485).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Only 1 RF IP Reader/ELC Controller and up to 7 RF BUS Readers may coexist together on a single BUS.
200M/650Ft: Max. BUS length
10M/30Ft: Max. Stub length
100 Ohm Termination: Required each end of the BUS.
Recommended RS-485 Backbone Cable Type: CAT5 Solid (4x2x26AWG)
For Power: Use three-twisted pairs (six conductors) between RS-485 Junction Boxes
For Data: Use one-twisted pair (two conductors) between RS-485 Junction Boxes
Primary/Secondary Synchronization
Up to four LF BUS Beacons can be deployed in ‘Primary–Secondary’ Daisy-Chain or Star Topologies in order to cover large double-doors or
architectural complex indoor entrance/exit areas.
When deploying either of these two topologies, the LF fields generated by the secondary beacons MUST BE synchronized to pulse at precisely
the same moment in time as the LF field generated by the primary unit in order to avoid mutual interference between any of the LF fields.
To implement Primary/Secondary Synchronization a Sync Data Link (typically using a 2x2x26 Category 5 cable) needs to be physically
connected between the Primary Beacon and all of the Secondary devices.

ID Address Setup
Before initial power-up, the Primary LF BUS Beacon must be assigned a unique ID Address (Neuron ID) in order for the Eiris Software
Platform or an Elpas Local Controller to be able to identify the device. Convert the Neuron ID (typically using a scientific calculator) into the twodigit hexadecimal number that correctly corresponds to the DIP switch found on the LF Beacon. This hexadecimal number will be used to
register the beacon’s ID address into the EIRIS or the ELC database.
NOTE: It is vital that a newly assigned ID Address does not conflict with any other ID Address that has already been assigned to any other beacon.
The following Neuron ID Addresses SHOULD NOT BE ASSIGNED to the Primary LF BUS Beacon: 0x00 (00000000), 0x13 (00000000),
0x35 (00000000), 0x4B (00000000), 0x4D (00000000), 0x5C (00000000), 0xB8 (00000000), 0xD5 (00000000), 0xDC (00000000), 0xFF (11111111),
0xFE (11111110) and 0x7F (01111111).
Should any of the above ID addresses be assigned by mistake, the beacon will not properly function. Additionally the beacon’s Red Status LED will
continually flash; and the device’s buzzer will repetitively sound.
Use the beacon’s 8-poisition DIP Switch to set the ID address (in binary format) of the beacon as illustrated below.
The ID address is assigned using a binary coded hexadecimal number.
Switches 1-4 (high nibble) are used to set the first hexadecimal digit while
switches 5-8 (low nibble) are used to set the second hexadecimal digit.
Together, the two hexadecimal digits provide a total of 256 possible
Neuron ID addresses.
The figure below shows how to set the hex digitals ‘0’ to ‘F’
Below are three examples of addresses set in hexadecimal:

LF Field Adjustment
The size of the LF field generated by any of the BUS Beacons can be adjusted using the device’s Front Cover Tamper Switch to control the
actual coverage of the LF field and to reduce the unwanted signal penetration.
For Primary Beacons: Primary Beacons support four ranges from10cm/4.0 inches to 1.5m/5ft in radius.
To cycle to the next range press the tamper switch twice.
Each time you cycle to the next LF field range, the Orange LED will flash the applicable number of times
to indicate the selected range:

One flash - Shortest range

Two flashes - Medium 1 range

Three flashes - Medium 2 range

Four flashes - Maximum range
For Secondary Beacons: Secondary Beacons support only the Medium 2 and Maximum Ranges. To cycle between the two ranges press the
tamper switch twice. There will be no LED indication of the selected field range.
NOTE: In practice the coverage area (for each range mode) regardless of beacon type may vary +/- 20% by specific Active RFID Tag as well as
the active RFID Tag’s physical orientation in relation to the LF field.
Single Door Placement
Mount the primary beacon on the wall adjacent to the opening
side of the door, at a height of 1.2m/4Ft. above the floor.
Beacons MUST NOT BE MOUNTED on any metallic surfaces
and should be positioned at least 30cm/12in from any metal
barriers (such as signs/pillars/beams) in any direction
Additionally all beacons MUST BE MOUNTED as far away as
possible from all other pieces of equipment that may emit
magnetic fields (such as large electrical motors, HVAC and
refrigeration compressors.
Double Door Placement
A primary/secondary configuration may be installed by mounting the primary beacon to the right of the double door entrance area and
up to three secondary device(s) to the left of the doors, at a height of 1.2m/4Ft above the floor. Ensure that all of the beacons are no
more than 1m/3ft from the doors. The resulting LF fields are automatically synchronized in real time to avoid problems associated with
coverage area overlap.

General Purpose Inputs
Digital Output
Both the primary beacon (P/N: 5-ALA00125-12) and the
secondary beacon (P/H: 5-ALA00125-2) have two general
purpose inputs designated IN1 and IN2.
Both the primary beacon (P/N: 5-ALA00125-12) and the
secondary beacon (P/H: 5-ALA00125-2) have one general
purpose digital output, which provides open-collector switching
(up to 100mA, 28Vdc).
EOL supervision may be added to either of these inputs to detect:
Open, Close, Line Cut and Line Short circuit conditions using
optional Elpas End-of-Line Terminators (P/N: 5-IOX00001).
Recommended Cable: 22 AWG, unshielded/twisted pair
Note: Primary beacons that contain the Wiegand output option
(P/N: 5-ALA00125-11) contains only Input1.
Transmission Suppression Option
Wiegand Output
Primary beacons with the Wiegand output (P/N: 5-ALA00125-11)
provide one 26-bit Wiegand output (instead of a digital output) for
sending Elpas tag IDs to third-party access control panels.
Input1 on all BUS Beacons may be used to disable the LF field by
shorting IN1 with GND. This allows the user to temporary override
the beacon with a security detector, such as a passive infrared.
However Input1 may be used as a normal general purpose input
when an Elpas End-of-Line Terminator, (P/N: 5-IOX00001) is
connected to the input as illustrated in the above section.
Recommended Cable: 22 AWG, unshielded/twisted pair
