PBS installation guide
Introduction
The PBS is a component of the Precyse iLocate™ real time location system.
The PBS allows for 2-way RF communication with the Smart Agent tags, supporting
multi-frequency mode for unexpected RF interference protection. The PBS base station
is a low cost, low maintenance stand-alone device. This unit communicates with the
central iLocate™ server over existing Ethernet or Wi-Fi networks.

Theory of operation
The PBS base station is responsible for synchronizing all the other parts of the system
and transmitting data to and from the PC connected to it.
The GPS receiver in the PBS is used as an absolute timing and clock source.
Amplifier block: The amplifier box is connected to the PBS via a proprietary control
protocol.
Two of the four RF connectors are used as transmit and receive channels to the
amplifier. The other two SMA connectors are disabled (Internally, physically
disconnected).
The fifth RF port is a GPS antenna port.

Appendix A: Marketing and installation
1. The product intended use and application:
The BS24103000 (PBS) is used as a radio base station for the iLocate system.
By transmitting a synchronization signal, and receiving transmissions from other
devices on the iLocate network it acts as a bridge between the iLocate hardware
and a personal computer.
2. The EUT is installed either indoors or outdoors (inside an appropriate sealed
box).
The installation requirements are proper site planning, infrastructure (AC supply
with an AC to DC adapter or DC supply, mechanical mounting, clearance around
it), sealed box (Per Precyse Tech’s requirements, an IP55 or equivalent box
uninterrupted power supply where required, etc).
3. Amplifier unit: Use only the supplied amplifier unit with its supplied base station.
Use only the supplied cables which were shipped with the unit. In case of
damage or fault, use only authorized replacements from Precyse Technologies
Inc.
4. Marketing:
The EUT is sold to system integrators only. It is not available for nonprofessionals.
