RTLS Installation Guide Page 2/12 1. INSTALLATION OF RTLS PORTALS 1.1. Before starting Please observe the following: • The RTLS portals must be installed and used in such a way to ensure minimum 35 cm separation from users / bystanders. • RTLS portal installation must be performed with directions from the Installation and Test Tool or ITT, which is a web based application. • Site survey data must be imported for ITT to function properly. • WiFi network set up by the RTLS access points must be operational and online. • Make sure that a site overview drawing is available from the site survey to help find installation locations. • Power on the portal only when instructed so by ITT. • All access points must be installed before installation of RTLS portals can begin. 1.2. RTLS Installation Flow The RTSL installation is performed using Installation and Test Tool, ITT. Read about the Installation and Test Toll in the 077.208.10v RTLS Installation and Test Tool Guide. The installation follows the flow in Figure 1.

This portal will trigger active tags, but to successfully read the active tags it must be used in combination with LS4550. A.2.3. LS4550 RTLS Portal This is a portal that combines a passive reader with two antennas, an active low frequency exciter and an active UHF reader. This portal can read both active and passive tags. It can also read active tags that are excited by a nearby LS4530 portal. A.3. Identifying RTLS portal on packing label Figure 3. Packing label with RTLS model. A.4.

RTLS Power supply and cord The RTLS portal is now ready for installation.
RTLS Installation Guide Page 8/12 SITE PICTURES When taking pictures of the installation it is important that the picture illustrate the equipment and the surroundings. The purpose is both the be able to identify the portal and to see if any installations or equipment might affect the performance of the equipment. Take more pictures, if one picture is not sufficient to document the installation. Good pictures: Here three pictures of the same portal are taken from various positions.
RTLS Installation Guide Page 9/12 Poor pictures: Here the surrounding e.g. the dock floor / ramp is not visible, and there is only one picture of each device.
RTLS Installation Guide Page 10/12 TEST TAGS Test tags can be provided by Lyngsoe.
