The Renos platform is developed by Nedap Retail specifically for retail applications. The OVR-line of products has several serviceable parts. These are explained in the table and highlighted in the schematic drawings. Page 6 of 35 Manual OVR-line Number Component Description Lights RFID antenna RFID reader Renos unit Buzzer The red LED lights can be used for user feedback or alarms. The RFID antenna. The RFID reader takes care of reading RFID labels. It is connected to the Renos unit, and to the RFID antennas. The Renos unit is the main processing unit of an OVR product. It takes care of powering the system, data communication between units and with the outside world. The buzzer can be used for user feedback or alarms. Dimensions The dimensions of the gates can be found in the drawings below. Page 7 of 35 Manual OVR-line The next picture shows the mounting plate, which can be used as a wall or ceiling mount, but also connected to a VESA mount. Connections In the next picture a Renos unit is displayed, with a description of all its connectors and what they are used for.

The LED indicators on the Renos unit will be discussed later in this manual. Page 9 of 35 Manual OVR-line 3 Preparing the installation When preparing an installation with OVR-line products, there are a few things that should be taken into account: Placement in relation to the environment (walls and other objects) Orientation of the product If the placement of the products is decided, the next step is to evaluate cabling and placement of Power Inserters. Defining the system When a store requires readers to be placed at several locations, there needs to be a decision on how to combine these readers into one or multiple systems. The following needs to be taken into account: 1. A different role is a different system. It is not possible to combine readers for Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) with readers for stock room to sales floor in one system. Both roles need different systems with their own Power Inserter and customer network connection. 2. Within the EAS role, create as large systems as possible. To minimize interference between readers, the Renos platform has a built-in synchronization mechanism for RFID technology. For this synchronisation mechanism to work, the readers need to be connected in one system. 3. However, the maximum cable length requirements needs to be satisfied. If it is not possible to put all the reader within a role in one system due to the maximum cable length requirements, you can split the readers into two or more systems. Stock room to sales floor and goods receiving For the stock room to sales floor and goods receiving roles: when there is a different door or entrance, build a separate system. Detection distance, aisle width and label-free zone The first decision to be made is how many readers you need, and where to place them. This depends on the aisle width and detection height of the system. There is no fixed answer to this question, it depends on many factors, like customer expectation, quality of the tags, the environment, etc. The recommendations below are based on the Nedap RFID hard tag (for RFID). We recommend to mount the reader between 2.5 m and 3.5 m (8.2 ft. to 11.5 ft.) height. Page 10 of 35 Manual OVR-line We recommend to place the readers at 2.5 m (8.2 ft.) aisle width. Please note that only the recommended 'detection distance' or 'aisle width' is specified. Depending on the tag used and the environment the gates are placed in, sometimes larger values are obtainable. It is advised to test this, before using it in a store. We recommend to have a label-free zone of more than 150 cm (4.9 ft.) from the center of the antenna. Page 11 of 35 Manual OVR-line RFID installation requirements When RFID technology is used, there are different installation requirements to consider than with RF technology. Since the RFID field is much less strict defined than with RF technology, there is a larger area where tags could be detected. In contrary to RF, RFID is much less sensitive to coupling or interference issues. Automatic tag muting The RFID reader has a maximum read throughput of around 200 tag reads per second. This throughput is used to monitor the status of the tags continuously. When many tags are placed close to or in the label-free zone, it might be that the reader is 'too busy' with those tags, compared to other tags. This will impact the system performance. If this happens, the reader will mute some tags, to have time remaining for other tags. This feature is called automatic tag muting. It might therefore be that some tags in the neighborhood of the system are muted, and will not cause an alarm when moved along the reader. Metallic surfaces As the RFID field is reflected by metallic surfaces, this might confuse the Dynamic Beam Steering algorithms and influence (change or enlarge) the detection field. That is why we advise to avoid large metallic surfaces (larger than an A3/Tabloid sheet of paper) in the neighborhood of readers. Power Inserter When the installation location of the products is clear, the location of Power Inserters need to be defined. There is a maximum number of Renos units that can be connected to one Power Inserter, but that depends on which technologies are used and the number of add-ons that are in use. Page 12 of 35 Manual OVR-line Number of Renos units per Power Inserter 230 V 115 V Of course, it is also possible to put less Renos units on a Power Inserter. Power Inserters Please note that you can only use a Nedap Power Inserter (Power-over-Ethernet) to power Renos systems. It is not possible to use generic Power-over-Ethernet switches or stand-alone inserters. It is recommended that the Power Inserter is connected to an always-on power socket. This allows continuous monitoring of the system, and remote firmware update during the night. Orientation of products Due to the orientation-sensitivity of the RFID antennas, the readers all need to be oriented in the same way. Inside the reader there is a sticker indicating which orientation to mount the system, and which side the shop floor should be in relation to the store exit. The location of the sticker is indicated in the next picture. Page 13 of 35 Manual OVR-line If this procedure is not executed correctly, the RFID technology will not work. Cabling As the basis placement and orientation is clear, the cabling needs to be put into place. Depending on the technologies that are used, different cabling types are recommend. The OVR-line uses a daisy chain topology, which means that all devices are connected as a chain: a cable from a Power Inserter OUT to a Renos unit IN, from that Renos unit OUT to the next Renos unit IN, etc. The units are connected with an Ethernet cable only. The maximum data communication length for an Ethernet cable is 100 meter (328 ft.). Therefore we recommend the following maximum distances: The maximum cable length in between two Renos units is 100 meter (328 ft.) - even if there is a Power Inserter in between. The maximum cable length from the Power Inserter to the last Renos unit powered by that Power Inserter is also 100 meter (328 ft.) When the cable lengths allow for it, we recommend to place the Power Inserter in the switch room. In this way the customer only has to arrange an Ethernet outlet near the installation, and no power sockets are needed. This could reduce the cost for installations significantly. When a connection to the customer network is to be made for local access or Device Management, this connection can be made from: The customer network to the IN port of the Power Inserter. The customer network to the OUT port of the last Renos unit in the chain. The exact location needs to be configured during the configuration wizard. Page 14 of 35 Manual OVR-line Ethernet cable type Please use Ethernet Cat. 5 cable or better with all 8 pairs connected. Cable number Type of cable Ethernet cable 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. 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 35 Manual OVR-line 4 Executing the installation When all the preparations are taken into account, the installation can take place. This chapter will explain the physical installation, placing the cabling and checking the status of the system. The reader can be mounted both on the ceiling, on the wall or with a VESA-compatible mount. Removing the cover The cover can be removed by: 1. Gently pushing a screwdriver at the indicated location. 2. Hold the screwdriver in place, and slide the cover towards the indicated direction. It will come of the unit. Physical installation - on the ceiling The included steel cabling set can be used to mount the unit on the ceiling. The steel cabling set should be mounted in a 'V' shape (as indicated in the picture below), such that the unit will not easily swing due to wind or heaters. When mounted in a 'A' shape this will easily happen. Page 16 of 35 Manual OVR-line Follow the next steps when mounting the unit: Mark the drilling holes on the ceiling. Drill the holes and install a plug. 1. Mount the base unit (with the threaded rod) with a 4x40 screw. 2. Slide the steel cable through the bus unit (make sure the round sphere is on top). Screw it on the base unit. 3. Slide the adjustable hook over the steel cable. If you want to release it, press the indicated button on the hook. When the installation is completed, place the mounting plate back in the unit. The mounting plate doubles as dust protection for the inner components of the unit. Page 17 of 35 Manual OVR-line Physical installation - on the wall The unit can be mounted on the wall using the include mounting bracket. Attach the mounting plate with two screws to the wall. Install all cabling to the reader. Slide the reader over the mounting plate as indicated in the picture. The mini USB service port is not accessible when the reader is mounted in this way. Configure the unit before sliding it over the mounting plate. Physical installation - with VESA compatible mount The mounting plate has the following VESA compatible mounts: Standard Pattern size MIS-D 75mm 75 x 75 mm (2.95 x 2.95 in.) MIS-D Screw thread Screw length excl. bracket M4 7.4 mm (291 mil) 100 x 100 mm (3.93 x 3.93 in.) M4 7.4 mm (291 mil) The installation process is as follows: Mount the VESA mount to the mounting plate. Install all cabling to the reader. Page 18 of 35 Manual OVR-line Slide the reader over the mounting plate as indicated in the picture. Installing cabling and filters During the preparation phase, the exact cabling required was already determined. Now these cables can be placed. 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 that every Ethernet cable created is tested for all 4 pairs (8 wires) with an Ethernet cable tester. This to make sure that there are no errors appearing down the road. Status LEDs The electronics inside the unit has several status LEDs that can be used to discover the status of each part of the electronics.

This means that only the 'firmware running' orange LED is blinking. Page 22 of 35 Manual OVR-line 5 Configuring the installation To complete the configuration, the following tools are required. Mini-USB cable. 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 23 of 35 Manual OVR-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. How this is done, is dependent on the Device Management availability. Page 24 of 35 Manual OVR-line The system is connected to Device Management: you can directly enter your Nedap Retail username and password. The system is not connected to Device Management, and you don't have a Nedap Retail authentication software or hardware dongle: choose one of the following steps: If your laptop is able to connect to Device Management via a 3G dongle or Wi-Fi, you can use this option to enter your username and password. If that is not available, you can use your smartphone. If your smartphone has no internet access, you can call our support to get an authentication code. Please contact support for more details on how to obtain a Nedap Retail username and password. Getting help in the wizard If something is not clear, each page has a question mark button in the top right corner. You can click this to get more information on what is expected to do on a certain page. Firmware version and System ID When you ask for support for a specific system, the support engineer will always ask you for the firmware version and the system ID. The firmware version is displayed in the right top of the configuration wizard. If you click the firmware version, a pop-up will appear that shows the System ID. Factory reset To execute a factory reset on a single Renos unit, the following steps need to be executed: 1. Turn off the system by removing the power cable of the Power Inserter. 2. Connect a Mini-USB cable from the USB service port to the USB port on the Renos unit. 3. Reconnect the power cable to the Power Inserter. 4. The LED that usually indicates that the firmware is running (the green LED on the right) will show the following behaviour: a. Blink couple of times b. Stay on c. Blink couple of times When this is completed, wait one minute before proceeding. 5. Turn off the power. 6. Remove the USB cable. 7. Turn on the power. Configuration is lost Page 25 of 35 Manual OVR-line Please note that when doing a factory reset, all settings and configuration of the unit are lost. The firmware version does not change. Firmware change There are three ways to change the firmware version on a Renos-based system: 1. Device Management update. The update can be executed via the Device Management service. 2. Local - single unit flash. The update can be executed by inserting a USB stick with the right firmware into the USB port. 3. Local - complete system flash. The update can be executed during the configuration wizard with files on your laptop. If the system is integrated with a 3rd party system, please confirm the firmware version with that 3rd party before installing it. Device Management update To update the firmware via Device Management, please make sure the system is configured, delivered and connected to the Device Management service. Then, navigate to the Device Management website and use the functionality there to initiate the firmware update. Local - single unit flash Download the correct firmware image file from the Nedap Retail portal. Extract this file to a USB stick. Turn off the power of the system. Insert the USB stick in the USB port of a Renos unit. Power the system. Wait until LEDs 4, 5 and 6 are off again. This can take around ten minutes. Then turn off the power again, remove the USB stick and turn on the power. Configuration is lost Please note that when using 'local - single unit flash' firmware change, all settings and configuration of the unit are lost. It's only possible to execute this on-site and not remotely, as the system needs to be re-configured before it is usable again.
