STAR 3000 Installation Manual
STAR POWER SUPPLY INSTALLATION
Recommended installation of the power supply is a wall mounted configuration within 20 feet from the
STAR Receiver.
Wall Mount Power Supply
Figure 8 shows the power supply with integrated mounting brackets.
Figure 8: STAR Power Supply
The wall mounted power supply requires the following hardware (not included with shipment).
•
#6 Drywall (bugle head) or #6 wood screws if the unit is being fastened to a wooden surface
•
For a solid wood mount, box nails are a suitable option, provided that the head diameter is more
than .28” and less than .30” in diameter and the shank of the nail is at least 2” long.
•
For a metal surface mount that is at least .1875” thick, #6-32 pan head machine screws may be
used.
• For drywall/plaster fastening, 1/8 Molly or Toggle bolts must be used.
The recommended mounting procedure is:
1. For drywall mounts, "Molly Bolts" are preferred. Alternatively, toggle bolts are a suitable option, as
they offer a pull-down force more than 4X the industry standard, and are highly recommended in
areas prone to seismic activity.
2. Alternatively for drywall mounts, Bugle-head #6 Drywall screws (coarse thread) are also acceptable, if
all 4 tie-down points are used, offering an industry standard of a pull-down strength of at least 4X the
weight of the unit.

3. If the wall thickness is at least 1/2" wood (plywood, for example), nails can also be used.
Cables must be properly dressed and supported. Both AC and DC cables should be routed with a service
loop and must be supported at least once within 18” of the power supply unit. Cables can be run in
conduit, providing (a) the conduit is not hanging on the cables, (b) the service loop exists, and (c) there is
at least one support/tie-down on the cables between conduit and power supply.

ENODE INSTALLATION
The Mojix eNodes (exciter Node) are the building blocks of the Mojix STAR system, defining multiple
RFID coverage areas and interrogation zones configured to support each unique business process. Mojix
provides a full range of eNode models from wired to wireless, certified in multiple regions and across
multiple frequency bands.
The Mojix eNodes are reliable, autonomously operated simple RF transmitters, designed to excite all
types of EPC UHF Gen 2 RFID tags within their designated RFID coverage areas. The eNode connects
to four RFID antennas that are controlled by the STAR to energize RFID tags. The network of eNodes is
connected through a distributed architecture to a STAR unit via an eMux using coaxial cable. Each eNode
can service up to either four connected antennas or four eXpander modules with up to sixteen antennas,
using low-loss cables up to a distance of 50 feet.
eNode Specifications
Figure 9 shows the eNode and its interfaces, and Table 1 details the specifications of its interface
connectors.

EMUX INSTALLATION
eNodes frequently are deployed with eMuxes that can connect multiple eNodes to a STAR or to another
(upstream) eMux. The eMux amplifies and conditions RF signals from the STAR and provides DC power
to eNodes. This section describes the steps involved to install an eMux. eMuxes should be used either
when:
1. The insertion loss from long lengths of coaxial cables and eNodes is too high
2. The wired eNode system layout requires splitting the wiring to multiple wiring branches
Figure 10: Example Cabling Diagram for eNodes and eMuxes
About Insertion Loss
The STAR transmits a signal of +23 dBm. Insertion loss of coaxial cable varies from one cable to the
next. For reference purposes, LMR-240 or equivalent cable has a loss of approximately 7.5 dBm per 100
feet (24.8 dB per 100 m) when measured at 865 MHz to 928 MHz. Insertion loss of wired eNodes is 0.8
dBm. Input power levels for both the eMux and the eNode must be greater than -10 dBm. In order to
increase the signal strength for longer cable runs or many eNodes connected together, an eMux must be

used to amplify the signal. The maximum output level on an eMux for any of the 4 output ports is +22
dBm and the maximum gain of the eMux is 30 dB.
eMux Specifications
The eMux is used to expand a single input into four outputs to create a distributed architecture, as well as
to provide power to extend the operational range of the STAR wired eNode network. The eMux powers
the RFID and Command signals present on its input port to compensate for the cable loss and provides
the amplified signal on its 4 output ports. Each eMux output port can drive up to 10 cascaded eNodes
powering up to 40 eNodes. Figure 11 depicts the eMux and its interfaces, showing the RF connections as
well as the power supply connection. The connector specification is summarized in Table 3 below.

GPIO INSTALLATION
The GPIO or General Purpose Input/Output is an interface card that connects different types of sensors
and actuator devices such as infrared presence sensors and light stacks to an eNode. The GPIO unit is
powered by an interfacing cable from the eNode. The GPIO unit, as shown in Figure 13 below, has a
unique ID which is added to the configuration of the Mojix MCON software. Each sensor connected to the
GPIO unit has a position ID within the GPIO and this ID is mapped to the eNode in the MCON software.
