The Renos platform is developed by Nedap Retail specifically for retail applications. The Doorframe i7 has several serviceable parts. These are explained in the table below and highlighted in the schematic drawings. Page 7 of 43 Manual FC-line Number Component Description Lights The red LED lights can be used for user feedback or alarms. Customer counter Integrated customer counter. 50 ohm PCB The 50 ohm PCB takes care of the connection between the Renos unit, the RF antenna and the lights. Metal detection The metal detection unit (optional) must be placed here and is used to detect metal objects. Renos unit The Renos unit is the main processing unit of an FC product. It takes care of powering the system, data communication between units and with the outside world. It is equipped with an RF detection engine. Buzzer The buzzer can be used for user feedback or alarms. Cover White removable cover for easy access to the connections. Page 8 of 43 Manual FC-line Dimensions Page 9 of 43 Manual FC-line Connections Below a Renos unit is displayed, with a description of all its connectors and what they are used for.

Add-on Provide power and synchronization to add-ons. Network IN Connected to the Network OUT of a previous Renos unit or a Power Inserter. USB Connect accessories to Renos. Network OUT Connected to the Network IN of a previous unit or a Power Inserter. Can also be left unconnected or connected to the customer network. Mini _ USB _ service _ port Connect your laptop to configure the Renos system. RS485 connector Connect to the optional Nedap RF Smart Deactivator. Buzzer connector Connect to the included buzzer. Page 10 of 43 Manual FC-line Add-ons Metal Detection The Renos Metal Detection unit (#9563717) can be used to detect foil-lined bags, which are sometimes used by thieves to prevent the RF tags from being read by the detection system or reader. With metal detection, we can detect metal objects and provide a discrete alarm to the store employees. Restrictions for metal detection You need a minimum of 2 gates with Metal Detection units to work. Only possible when there are no moving doors with metal (i.e. an aluminum frame around the door). Please note that for the connection of the Metal Detection in the FC-line antenna a longer connection cable is needed (800 mm / 2.6 ft). Page 11 of 43 Manual FC-line RF security dashboard The Renos platform has a built-in RF security dashboard. It can be enabled by entering a license key during the configuration wizard. The customer can then visit the dashboard via the web browser. To make this work, the Renos system should be either connected to the customer network, or a stand-alone set-up with a router should be made. Page 12 of 43 Manual FC-line 3 Preparing the installation When preparing an installation with FC-line products, there are a few things that should be taken into account: How many gates one needs to cover an entrance or door. Where the gates will be placed in relation to the environment, for example to minimize interference (RF). It is preferred to install the FC-line gate on the floor mount column. This will up the performance of the system and still gives a clean look in the store. What cabling need to be applied (Cat 5E cable). The maximum distance between antennas is 2200 mm / 7.2 ft (2000mm / 6.6 ft recommended). Mounting distance from the ground must be 200 mm / 8". For mounting on concrete and stone walls, chemical anchors are preferred For mounting on steel frames, EPDM rivet blinds are necessary, which are included in the installation set Distance brackets (25 mm / 0.98") are provided in the installation set, when possible install the FC-line products with these distance brackets. This will improve the performance of the system, especially recommended for steel frames. The firewall settings that need to be in place to enable Device Management Defining the system When the store owner requires gates to be placed at several locations, one needs to decide on how to combine these gates into one or multiple systems. The following rules shall be taken into account: 1. Create as large systems as possible. To minimize interference between gates, the Renos platform has a built-in synchronization mechanism. For this synchronization mechanism to work, the gates need to be connected in one system. 2. However, the maximum cable length requirements needs to be satisfied. If it is not possible to put all the gates in one system due to the maximum cable length requirements of 100 meters / 109 yd, you can split the gates into two or more systems. In this case assign each system a different multi-system channel during the RF configuration. Page 13 of 43 Manual FC-line Field distribution for RF There are two modes of operation for RF technology. The mode can be configured during the configuration wizard. Focused field. There is an RF field in between gates. This mode is preferred for the best performance of the system. Full field. There is an RF field around the gate. This mode is mainly used when the gates are placed near the checkouts, as you can have one gate covering a relatively large area. Infra-read beam sensors Please note that when you want to use infrared beam sensors for customer counting, you can only count customers in between the gates. So, if you set RF to full field, you are not able to count customers outside of the gates. Page 14 of 43 Manual FC-line Device Management All the Renos-based products can be connected to the Nedap Device Management Service. This service provides: Monitoring. Critical system parameters are monitored 24/7. As soon as something is wrong with the system, an alert is generated to the supporting partner. Remote log-in. Via the Device Management portal it is possible for an authorized Nedap-certified engineer to access the user interface of the system to make changes to the configuration or access system logs. Remote Firmware update. It is possible to install new firmware releases remotely. To use Device Management, please make sure that the following firewall ports are opened before installation: TCP port 443 outgoing to *.nedapretail.com This can be verified by connecting your laptop to the customer network, open your browser and navigate to https://api.nedapretail.com. You should see a special page there. It is also possible to do this via an HTTPS proxy, however, the remote log-in feature is not available then. For more details, please see the Knowledge Base article on Device Management. If Device Management is available at a certain site, it is possible to pre-configure a system, such that the field engineer will have an easier job. For more information, please refer to the Knowledge Base article on Pre-configuration. Page 15 of 43 Manual FC-line 4 Executing the installation When all the preparations are taken into account, the installation of the system can take place. The installation consists of physically mounting the system in the right orientation, installing the cabling and applying power to the system. Physical installation: Wall mounting The FC-line gates can be mounted in three different methods: Mounted on the floor mount column (recommended) Mounted on the front of the door frame Mounted on the side of the door frame Distance to the floor The distance to the floor should be at least 200 mm / 8" to have enough space for cabling and filters. Rotation of the antenna The antenna can be rotated vertically to create the optimal focussed RF field. Please note that only when both sensitive sides of the two antennas are facing each other, the maximum distance of 2200 mm / 7.2 ft can be obtained. When rotating the antenna, please make sure the Customer Counter PCB's also face each other to work properly. The Customer Counter PCB can easily be rotated inside the antenna. Prevent interference Using the floor mount column increases the performance of the FC-line gate. It prevents interference from the door frame or wall behind the door frame. When mounting the FC-line gate to the door frame, using the distance brackets included in the installation set, will help prevent interference. Order floor mount column seperately The floor mount column is not included in the product, but should be ordered separately, article number 9216561. Page 16 of 43 Manual FC-line Mount on floor mount column The next drawing specifies the mounting of the FC-line antenna on the floor mount column. 1. Place the floor mount column on the floor.

Now these cables can be placed. All wiring should be done according to local regulations. When cables are installed, it is recommended to mark them with IN and OUT, or PREVIOUS and NEXT, as this will allow you to distinguish them from each other. Filters Please note that filters should be placed around the cables to reduce interference with other systems. These filters are delivered together with the system. Filter should be placed at: 1. Every Power Inserter: around the Ethernet cable, both at the OUT and IN port. 2. Every Renos unit: around the Ethernet cable, both at the OUT and IN port. 3. Every 9 m / 30 ft. for longer Ethernet cables. To save yourself a huge amount of frustration, please first place the filters before attaching the connectors. The other way around is not possible. Many have tried before. Page 21 of 43 Manual FC-line 1. Power Inserter OUT to Renos IN 2. Renos OUT to the next Renos IN 3. Filters Filters can be ordered as spare part with Nedap. Please refer to the Nedap Retail Portal for more information. Ethernet cables Connect the Ethernet cable from the OUT port with the IN port of the next Renos unit First, in all aisles connect the Ethernet OUT port with the IN port of the next Renos unit, always following the directions of the arrows in the cabling indicated by the image below. Please make sure to test every Ethernet cable for correct connections and twisting of all 4 pairs (8 wires) with an Ethernet cable tester. This is to make sure that the system can function correctly.

Laptop with installed driver (if necessary) and recent browser. Driver installation To configure a Renos-based system, sometimes a driver needs to be installed. Please check the table below whether you need to install a driver, based on your operating system. Operating system Driver Windows XP, Vista or 7 Download from portal Windows 8 No need to install driver Mac OS X No need to install driver Linux No need to install driver Once you have installed the driver, check if it works by plugging-in a Renos unit. Recent browser To configure the system, an HTML5 compatible browser should be installed on your laptop. The following browsers (or higher) are officially supported: Google Chrome Mozilla Firefox 6 (or higher) Apple Safari 6 (or higher) Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 (or higher) If you don't have one of these browsers installed on your laptop, please install them now. Page 28 of 43 Manual FC-line Connecting a laptop to the Renos unit You can connect your laptop via a Mini-USB cable to the service port on the Renos unit. You can choose any Renos unit in the system. It is advisable to use a long USB cable. This is more comfortable as you can find a good place to put your laptop (instead of on top of stairs, or on the floor next to the antenna). Besides, some laptops cause interference on the RF technology, so it is better to place them further away. We advise to use a ferrite ringcore filter around the mini USB cable that is used to configure Renos. These can be ordered as spare part with Nedap. Please refer to the Nedap Retail Portal for more information. Entering the configuration wizard You can enter the configuration wizard by opening your browser, and navigating to: http://192.168.133.1 Authentication During the configuration, the user is required to authenticate himself.

Please check all Ethernet cabling with an Ethernet cable tester. I have put a system together, but I only see a part of all units during the hardware discovery.

Something might has gone wrong with a Use the 'local - single' unit firmware update firmware update. mechanism to restore the unit. RF technology issues When there are issues with RF technology during the configuration (the gates show as orange or red in the wizard), please follow the following steps: 1. Check the parameters in the RF Advanced Config of the configuration wizard, RF gate performance section. Probably one of those parameters is red or orange. 2. Disable all transmitters. a. If all parameters in the RF gate performance section turn green again, there is a coupling problem (the transmitter couples with a label-like object in environment). Please continue at the 'coupling problem' section. b. Page 37 of 43 Manual FC-line 2. b. If all parameters in the RF gate performance section remain orange or red, there is an active interferer (another device that transmit radio waves around the 8.2 MHz RF spectrum, like another EAS system, an engine or a power supply). Please continue at the 'active interferer' section. Coupling problem Coupling problems are caused by objects that act as a label to the RF system. For example metallic doorframes, metal checkouts, cabling: everything that runs in a loop and is metallic. To solve these problems, there are a few things you can try: Tighten screws in the metallic construction. This might work for checkouts or customer guidance rails. Try to interrupt the metallic loop. This can be done by using non-metallic parts inside those loops, or to make a cut in them. Create a shortcut in the metallic loop, to make it smaller. In this way it will resonate at a different frequency. If the above solutions don't solve the problem, you can decrease the sensitivity of the system. This can be done by ticking the 'reduced sensitivity' button in the RF Advanced Config. If a decreased sensitivity doesn't work, and there is only one type of label or tag in the store, you also have the option to increase the 'receiver delay', in steps of 3 dB. If these things don't solve the problem, please contact support. Active interferer The first step is to try to locate the source of the active interferer. You can do this by unplugging electronic devices around the gate (or move them away), and see if the parameters in the 'RF gate performance' section improve, or when the average height of the spectrum is reduced. If this is the case, you have identified the active interferer. When the active interferer is known, the following solutions are possible: Try to move the active interferer away from the gate as far as possible. Try to apply filters around the cabling of the active interferer. Shield the active interferer with aluminum foil of at least 0.05 mm (2 mil.). If the above solutions don't solve the problem, you can decrease the sensitivity of the system. This can be done by ticking the 'reduced sensitivity' button in the RF Advanced Config. Page 38 of 43 Manual FC-line There are also standard click-on ferrites available that can be used to reduce active interference sources (e.g. Würth 742 711 31) If these things don't solve the problem, please contact support.
