Health Limits for Orion® Reader Using External
Antenna (902 to 921.5 MHz)
Within the United States, environmental guidelines regulating safe exposure levels are issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
Section 1910.97 of OSHA Safety and Health Standards 2206 legislates a maximum safe exposure limit of
10 milliwatts per square centimeter (mW/cm2) averaged over 6 minutes at 902 MHz.
Industry Canada, RSS-102, Issue 5 guidelines recommend a maximum safe power density in W/m2 of:
(0.02619)(Frequency (in MHz))0.6834 = (0.02619)(915)0.6834 = 2.77 W/m2
Thus, the maximum permissible exposure for general population/uncontrolled exposure at 915 MHz is
2.77 W/m2. The average time is 6 minutes.
The maximum permissible exposure for occupational/controlled exposures is 19.53 W/m2. The average
time is 6 minutes.
The RF power density generated by the Orion Reader was calculated using a maximum antenna gain of
14.0 dBi, equivalent to the antenna gain of the external toll antenna.
Warning
At 1.6 W transmitted power, 0 dB transmit attenuation, and a distance of 42.5 inches (108 cm) from the
antenna, the maximum power density calculated was less than 2.77 W/m2. Install the antenna at least
42.5 inches (108 cm) from the general public. Maintenance personnel must remain at least 16.4 inches
(41 cm) from the antenna when the system is operating.
The data confirms that when an antenna is used with the Orion Reader, the antenna effectively meets
OSHA requirements and thus does not represent an operating hazard to either the general public or maintenance personnel.
Limites d’innocuité du lecteur OrionMD utilisé avec une
antenne externe (902 à 921,5 MHz)
Aux États-Unis, les directives environnementales concernant les niveaux d’exposition acceptables sont émises
par l’OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration).
L’article 1910.97 de la norme de santé et de sécurité 2206 de l’OSHA fixe la limite d’exposition acceptable à
une moyenne de 10 milliwatts par centimètre carré (mW/cm2) sur une période de 6 minutes à 902 MHz.
Les normes de l’Industrie Canada, CNR-102, 5e édition recommandent de ne pas dépasser la densité de puissance suivante, exprimée en W/m2 :
(0,02619)(Fréquence (en MHz))0,6834
(0,02619)(915)0,6834
2,77 W/m2
Ainsi, le niveau maximal d’exposition permis pour la population générale et les situations d’exposition non
contrôlée à 915 MHz est de 2,77 W/m2 en moyenne sur une période de 6 minutes.
Le niveau maximal d’exposition permis dans un cadre professionnel ou contrôlé est de19,53W/m2 en
moyenne sur une période de 6 minutes.
La densité de puissance des RF générées par le lecteur Orion a été calculée pour un gain d’antenne maximal de
14,0 dBi, soit l’équivalent du gain de l’antenne de péage universelle.
Mise en garde
Avec une puissance transmise de 1,6 W et une atténuation de transmission de 0 dB, la densité de puissance
maximale calculée à 42,5 pouces (108 cm) de l’antenne était inférieure à 2,77 W/m2. Par mesure de précaution, installer l’antenne à au moins 42,5 pouces (108 cm) de la population générale. Le personnel d’entretien doit se tenir à au moins 16,4 pouces (41 cm) de l’antenne lorsque le système est en cours d’utilisation.
Les données confirment que l’utilisation de l’toll antenna ou d’une antenne équivalente avec le lecteur multiprotocole Orion répond aux exigences de l’OSHA et ne présente pas de danger lié à son utilisation, que ce soit
pour la population générale ou le personnel d’entretien.

Chapter 2
Developing the Installation Site Plan
This chapter provides guidelines for the following tasks:
• Assessing and formulating the site plan
•
Preparing the site
•
Choosing locations to mount the system components
•
Determining electrical and communications requirements
Assessing and Formulating a Site Plan
You will need to perform a general geographic RF site survey to check for RF noise
sources near the automatic vehicle identification (AVI) installation.
You will need to formulate a frequency plan for each plaza. Each reader has two frequencies: downlink (reader-to-tag communications) and uplink (tag-to-reader
responses). An Orion Reader deployed for use in the U.S. uses the following frequency ranges:
•
Downlink: 911.75 to 919.75 MHz, adjustable in 0.25 MHz steps
•
Uplink: 902.25 to 903.75 MHz and 910.00 to 921.50 MHz, adjustable in 0.25
MHz steps. Actual frequency range is protocol dependent.1
Consult with the Star Systems engineer or other systems integrator assisting with the
installation of the Orion Readers.
Preparing the Installation Site
Prepare the site according to the design parameters determined by your system integrator.
Site Preparation Checklist
Complete the following tasks, depending on the individual site.
 Acquire a construction license.
 Acquire a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) license.

Sync
At installations where cross-lane interference can occur and frequency management is
not sufficient to solve the problem, you may need to use Sync. By using the Sync
function in the Orion Readers, the readers operate only during interleaved time periods.
Note: In sites where installing Sync cabling is not an option, you can use the global
positioning system (GPS) timing alternative. See Appendix D, “Orion Reader
Options,” for more information.
The Orion Reader can support multiple lanes using Sync cabling. This connection provides a synchronization interface between readers where RF interference between
readers is reduced by multiplexing the RF reader transmission to independent time
slots. Allowing each reader or group of readers to operate at an allotted time eliminates interference from readers in adjacent lanes.
Although you need to configure the readers to operate using Sync, the interface connection for Sync, can be provided to all the readers in a plaza before or during installa-

tion by connecting a pair of wires to the Sync pins on DB15 connector of each reader
as shown in Figure 3-3.
Figure 3-3 Sync Configuration Example
Star Systems recommends Belden 89182 (150  impedance), which is a single
twisted-pair shielded cable rated for outdoor use, or 8132 (120  impedance), which
is a double twisted-pair shielded cable that must be installed in conduit. The Belden
8132 cable has an extra pair that is not used. Using these low-loss, low-capacitance
twisted-pair cable, a distance of 1000 feet (305 m) has been obtained. Cables with
lower capacitance can be used to run the Sync cables for longer distances while maintaining signal integrity. This maximum distance may be slightly longer or shorter
depending on the cable used.
Because the Sync signals are based on RS–485 signals, you can extend the length of
the Sync bus by using RS–485 repeaters or by using fiber with converters. The standard Sync interconnect is provided via pins 3 and 4 of the DB15 connector (Table 31).
External Digital Input/Output Connector
The External Digital Input/Output Assembly is used to interface the Orion Reader
with external inputs and outputs. Inputs can be devices such as light curtains or loops,
and outputs can be devices such as gates or lights. (Connector is P/N 33357-01). This
option is described in detail in Appendix D, “Orion Reader Options.” The I/O Board is
pre-installed in the Orion Reader but I/O modules must be purchased separately.
Connecting to Antenna
Connect the Orion Reader to a toll antenna using the single low-loss coaxial cable.

Connecting to Host Computer
You can use TCP commands to operate the Orion Reader and communicate with the
host computer via the Ethernet port.
For TCP operation, the Orion Reader communicates with the host computer via the
Ethernet port. A single Orion Reader can be connected directly to a single host, which
is known as point-to-point connection. Multiple Orion Readers also can be connected
to a single host on a private local area network, or LAN.
In a multiple reader-to-host configuration, Star Systems recommends that the setup
has a dedicated network interface card (NIC) on the host that is then connected to an
Ethernet switch into which only the Orion Readers are connected.
Note: Do not connect any other device to that switch.
In this configuration the host would have another NIC that is connected to the main
network infrastructure to interact with the remainder of the toll system components.
The Ethernet switch should support 100 Mb/s full duplex operation to be fully compatible with the Orion Reader.

Installing the Orion Reader
Figure 3-5 shows the standard way to mount and connect a toll antenna.
Figure 3-5 Toll Antenna Mounting and Connections
Caution
When installing the toll antenna use only the mounting hardware provided. Do not
use oversized washers to secure the plastic radome to the bracket. This practice can
weaken the radome material.
To install the toll antenna
1. Place the toll antenna below the mounting pipe and insert a U-bolt around the
pole and down through the bracket on the side of the antenna closest to the center
of the lane. This antenna should be mounted toward the driver side of the traffic
lane. Place a spacer, lock washer, and nut over each end of the U-bolt, but do not
tighten the nuts. Repeat for the other U-bolt.
2.
Rotate the antenna up and toward oncoming traffic. Rotate up 15° from
horizontal for a lane. Use an inclinometer or angle finder to check the angle.
3.
Tighten nuts with a torque wrench to 50 ft-lb (68 N-m).

Slide the shrink tubing over the coaxial cable, but do not heat it.
5.
Connect the coaxial cable to the antenna and to the appropriate connector on the
Orion Reader. Leave the shrink tubing loose until you have finished configuring
the lane.
Starting the Orion Reader
Once the system components are in place, you need to connect them to the Orion
Reader, and power up and start the Orion Reader.
To start the Orion Reader
1. Connect coaxial cable from toll antenna to ANT 1 port on Orion Reader for a
single antenna configuration. Antenna ports 2-4 may also be used for systems
requiring multiple antennas.
2.
Connect host PC or lane controller to Orion Reader using the Ethernet TCP
communications port (see Table 3-5.)
3.
If using Sync to operate multiple lanes with Orion Reader, connect Sync cable to
pins 3 and 4 of the Power, Sync, and I/O Connector on the Orion Reader.
4.
Connect other options as required. See Appendix D, “Orion Reader Options” for
detailed installation and operation information.

General Software Information
This chapter provides transmission control protocol (TCP) information
for the Orion® Reader.
Software Information
This chapter presents various software-related topics arranged in alphabetical order by
subject. In addition to this chapter, refer to Chapter 5, “Communication Protocols,”
and Chapter 6, “Configuring and Operating the Orion Reader Using TCP Commands,” for more information.
The Orion Reader operates using TCP commands. This chapter presents TCP command information.
TCP Command and Response Conventions
The Orion Reader implements TCP command requests, data acknowledgments, command responses, asynchronous responses, and unsolicited status messages as required
for configuration and operation. The messages are listed in Table 4-1.
Table 4-1 TCP Command Messages
Message
Description
Command request
The host initiates and uses these messages to request the Orion Reader to perform
specific actions.
Data acknowledge
The Orion Reader initiates and uses these messages to signal the reception of
command request messages received from the host. Additionally, the host initiates
and uses data acknowledge messages to signal the receipt of command response,
asynchronous response, and unsolicited status messages from the Orion Reader.
Command response
The Orion Reader initiates these messages in response to specific command
request messages received from the host.
Asynchronous
response
The Orion Reader optionally initiates these messages in response to specific
command request messages received from the host.
Unsolicited status
The Orion Reader initiates and uses these messages to inform the host about
specific status conditions in the Orion Reader.
Note: Throughout this chapter, host or host system refers to a host personal computer
(PC) or lane controller.

Orionl Reader System Guide
Lane Controller Heartbeat Controls
After the Lane Controller or host connects to the Orion Reader via TCP/IP, the Orion
Reader sends the LC Heartbeat message (unsolicited OK status message format) to the
Lane Controller or host every 10 seconds.
On receiving the LC Heartbeat message from the Orion Reader, the Lane Controller or
host sends the appropriate data acknowledge message to the Orion Reader. If the Lane
Controller or host does not acknowledge this message after three times, the Orion
Reader closes the connection. Figure 4-1 shows the Orion Reader LC heartbeat controls in detail.
Figure 4-1 Orion Reader LC Heartbeat Controls
Sequence Number Controls
The Orion Reader implements message sequence numbers (MSN) and command
sequence numbers (CSN) in all of the message types (e.g., command request, data
acknowledge, command response, asynchronous response, and unsolicited status). All
transmitted messages, except for the data acknowledge message, increment the MSN
and CSN. The host and the Orion Reader must implement independent transmit and
receive counters for both the MSNs and the CSNs. The transmit counters are used in
generating the transmitted messages, and the receive counters are used in the received
message out-of-sequence error checking. An out-of-sequence error indicates that a
message was missed.
Note: CSNs are checked and generated by the reader for the System Interface
Command Group only. For all other command groups the reader ignores hostgenerated CSNs, and the reader does not implement CSNs on any reader-generated
message. The host should ignore CSNs on all messages from the reader for all
command groups except for the System Interface Command Group.
With the exception of received data acknowledge messages, the Orion Reader performs automatic MSN and CSN resynchronizations on all received messages that are
out-of-sequence. Upon receiving an out-of-sequence MSN, the Orion Reader sets the
receive MSN counter to the out-of-sequence MSN plus one. Similarly, upon receiving
an out-of-sequence CSN, the Orion Reader sets the receive CSN counter to the out-ofsequence CSN plus one.
The host MSNs independently track the number of messages sent to the Orion Reader
4-4

General Software Information
and the Orion Reader MSNs independently track the number of messages sent to the
host. These MSNs are used on the receiving end to determine if a message has been
missed.
The host CSNs for each command group independently track the number of command
request messages sent to the Orion Reader. The Orion Reader CSNs for each command group independently track the number of command response, asynchronous
response, and unsolicited status messages sent to the host. These CSNs are used on the
receiving end to determine if the appropriate message as specified above has been
missed.
The host and the Orion Reader use software communication sequence number controls as defined in the following paragraphs.
The Orion Reader sends data acknowledge, command response, asynchronous
response, and unsolicited status messages to the host with MSNs starting at zero and
incremented by one for each message sent, except for the data acknowledge message.
Additionally, the CSNs for each command group start at zero and are incremented by
one for each command response, asynchronous response, and unsolicited status message sent. Figure 4-2 and Figure 4-3 provide details on the sequence number controls.
The host receives data acknowledge, command response, asynchronous response, and
unsolicited status messages from the Orion Reader and checks that the MSNs and
CSNs are correct for all received message types except for the data acknowledge message.
The Orion Reader receives command request messages and data acknowledge messages from the host and checks that the MSNs and CSNs are correct for all command
request messages received. The Orion Reader performs automatic MSN and CSN
resynchronizations on all received command request messages that are out-ofsequence. Currently, the CSN resynchronizations are not fully supported.
If the Orion Reader detects either a message sequence error or command sequence
error, the Orion Reader sends the appropriate error message to the host that includes
the expected and received sequence numbers and then continues processing the
received message. Currently the message sequence error and command sequence error
messages are not fully supported.

Chapter 6
Configuring and Operating the Orion Reader
Using TCP Commands
This chapter describes the Orion® Reader mode and commands that are
used to configure and operate the reader. This chapter also contains
system commands and responses that are needed to develop host
software for the TCP command set.
Chapter Organization
The Orion Reader is controlled through mode settings, which configure the reader for
specific applications. The Orion Reader starts in Mode 0, Stop Mode, and must be
changed to another mode as needed for a specific application.
This chapter first lists the operating mode to show what TCP-based command operations are available with this Orion Reader application.
The remainder of the chapter provides a complete listing of system commands and
responses that are required to develop host interface software for configuring the
Orion Reader. The system commands are divided into system command groups:
“System Interface Command Group Commands (8000H)” on page 6-13
“Digital I/O Command Group Commands (4000H)” on page 6-37
“RF Transceiver Command Group Commands (2000H)” on page 6-77
“Tag Transaction Configuration Command Group Commands (1000H)” on page 6-95
“Mode Command Group Commands (0400H)” on page 6-114
“Diagnostic Command Group Commands (0200H)” on page 6-127
Information for each of these command groups is grouped in the following manner:
•
One table that lists the system command group commands
•
One table that lists the system command group responses
•
A series of tables that present system command group response data
•
A full set of commands that are used to set an Orion Reader function and obtain
data resulting from that function within the specific system command group

Operating the Orion Reader in Mode 88
An Orion Reader operating in Mode 88 can read any combination of tag protocols
(ISO 18000-6C (EPC), Title 21, IAG or CVISN (ASTM Draft 6)) by using the Ethernet port for transmission control protocol communications.
Caution
Where multiple tag protocols are used in the same installation, an Orion Reader
operating in Mode 88 is capable of reading any combination of the protocols; however, no more than two protocols should be used for high speed operations.
Working with Mode 88
The Orion Reader powers up in Mode 0, Stop Mode. You must issue the commands
(Table 6-1), via the host computer, to configure the reader.

For this example, the sum of the delay and duration period is 19.9 milliseconds, which
is less than the synchronization rate of 20 milliseconds. If the sum of the delay and
duration periods equals the synchronization rate, unexpected results can occur.
Slave Select Count — This field specifies the order that a slave or GPS primary or
secondary reader issues a synchronization pulse whenever a given reader within a synchronization group fails to recognize the signal from the preassigned master or whenever a GPS receiver fails to issue a 1-pps signal, respectively. The maximum slave
count = 26.
Scenario 1 — One master, n slaves. The master has no slave behavior, therefore it is
assigned a slave select count of 0. Each slave is assigned an increasingly greater number from 1 to n. When the master fails, slave 1 becomes the master, and so on.
Scenario 2 — GPS primary, GPS secondary, N slave readers. When in fault mode (1pps signal missing), a GPS primary is slave to a GPS secondary and all other slaves
and is assigned the last slave select count, n. A GPS secondary takes over when a GPS
primary is in fault mode, therefore it is assigned a slave select count of 1. All slaves
are assigned increasingly greater numbers from 2 to n+1.
Scenario 3 — One GPS primary and n slaves. This scenario forces the GPS primary
to have no slave behavior by specifying a slave select count of 0. Each slave is an
increasingly higher number from 1 to n. When the master fails, slave 1 becomes the
master. If slave 1 should fail, slave 2 takes over, and so on (Table 6-196).

Chapter 7
Tag Responses
This chapter provides tag responses for transmission control protocol
(TCP).
TCP Tag Responses
In general, the tag response is transmitted as the record type code and the tag response
data. Response lengths vary depending on the tag response record type. The tag
response record type communicates to the host the tag response type that the reader
processed.
TCP Tag Response Field Definitions
Tag command processing allows the host-Orion® Reader interface to be more understandable and maintainable. All of the interfaces closely parallel the Orion Reader-totag interface. Tag processing responses are listed in Table 7-1.

Note: A Title 21 response consists of a 0001 record type; however, there is a response
code conflict with the Set Mode Command response (0001) in TCP. The Orion Reader
addresses this conflict by replacing the 0001 Title 21 response code with a 3024
response code.
Record Type
This field identifies the message as a Title 21 Read Response message. This field contains the following value: 3024H - Title 21 Read_Response.
Tag Type
This four-bit field is used to uniquely differentiate the State of California tags/transponders from those originating in other state agencies. Currently, the tag type value
defaults to 0 (California). Values of 1 to 15 are unassigned at this time.
Internal Tag ID
This field contains the Title 21 ID for the responding tag.
CRC
This field contains the standard message CRC. The CRC is calculated for all data
beginning with the transaction record type code and includes everything occurring
previous to the error detection code field.

CVISN Seen Frame Counter Report
This message reports the seen count value when the seen frame counter times out if
the seen count is greater than zero for a tag listed in the table. The seen frame counter
report is populated with a minimum of one tag and a maximum of eight tags. The
report is always the same size. Active tags are packed in ascending order; the first
active tag and associated seen count read from the FPGA firmware seen count table is
placed in the report at tag ID 0. The first seen count field in the report (MSB and LSB)
that is set to zero indicates the end of the active tag list in the report (Table 7-3).

The valid tags are set to 0 for tag not in frame slot and 1 for tag in frame slot. The transponder message is the high-order nibble and the message type tag is the low-order
nibble. This byte is passed with each tag but currently is not used. The transponder ID
tag is the identifier read from the tag. There may be one to four tags read for a given
response. A read with no transponder ID tags is not forwarded to the host. The reader
also presents a tag’s CRC to the host as part of the response in the CRC field.

Configuring the Lane
Configuring the Lane
Chapter 8
Configuring the Lane
This chapter provides information on the importance of lane tuning for
optimum automatic vehicle identification (AVI) system performance. This
chapter also describes the Orion® Reader functions and features that
can assist you in tuning an AVI lane.
Why You Need to Configure a Lane
Lane configuration optimizes the radio frequency (RF) characteristics and signal timing of an AVI-equipped toll lane to maximize the performance prescribed by the lane’s
traffic requirements. Typically, consideration of these factors is necessary for each
individual lane, although in some installations it may be possible to identify broader
solutions, then apply these solutions to certain classes of lanes having similar characteristics, followed by additional fine adjustment on an individual lane-by-lane basis.
This process is necessitated by the radio link, which is subject to varying factors such
as:
•
Lane type
•
Geometry of fixed objects near the capture zone
•
Interference from external sources
•
Adjacent lane interference
•
Natural non-homogeneity of RF field strength within the ideal capture zone
•
Varying tag environments
These factors may vary within an installation and from lane to lane within the same
plaza.The tag protocol types used at an installation play a significant role in configuring the lanes for operation. Knowing the appropriate factors and available tools is necessary for the set-up and troubleshooting of AVI lanes.
Marking the Read Zone
The area where the Orion Reader reads tags at the current RF range is called the read
zone. The antenna pattern, or read zone, of the Orion Reader would look roughly like
a pear-shaped balloon if you were able to see it. When installing the toll antenna, you
should first mark the unit’s read zone using the RF range set at the factory-default
maximum.
If two toll antennas are installed near each other, Star Systems recommends that you
Use or disclosure of Proprietary Information contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction stated on the title page of this document.
8-3
Orion Reader System Guide
fine-tune each reader for the ideal read zone before connecting it permanently to sense
input/sense output and communications cables.
Required Supplies
You need the following supplies to mark the read zone:
•
Test tags, supplied by the Star Systems dealer or distributor
•
Audible circuit tester and 9V DC battery for circuit tester power as described in
the section
•
Piece of chalk or roll of tape
•
Plastic or wooden yardstick for tags
•
Vinyl electrical tape or hook-and-loop material
Guidelines
Note: Using test tags that are not mounted to vehicles give a general idea of the read
pattern, but the pattern will vary somewhat when actual vehicles with tags are tested.
Final adjustments must be made with tags properly mounted on a variety of vehicles.
To mark the read zone
1. Turn on continuous RF power using the #6411 command.
2.
Secure the test tag to the end of the yardstick using electrical tape or hook-andloop material. Be sure the tag polarization (horizontal or vertical alignment)
matches that of the toll antenna.
3.
Stand directly in front of and about 5 feet (1.5 m) away from the overhead toll
antenna. Hold the stick so that the tag is positioned at a height and angle
consistent with a tag installed on a vehicle. The audible tester sounds upon tag
read. If the tester does not sound, try a different tag. If the tester still does not
sound, verify that the tester is working correctly and retest the tag.
Note: If you hold the test tag in your hand, your hand absorbs the RF signal and
the test results are not accurate.
8-4
4.
Mark the spot with chalk or tape.
5.
Move to the left until the sound stops and mark the ground with chalk or tape at
the location of the tag when the sound stopped.
6.
Return to the center and then move to the right until the sound stops and mark the
ground with chalk or tape at the location of the tag when the sound stopped.
7.
Return to the center and step backward 2 feet (0.6 m) and repeat steps 5 through 7.

Configuring the Lane
8.
Continue moving the tag in this manner, placing marks on the ground to identify
the boundary of the read zone each time the sound stops. Continue moving the
tag to various locations until the read zone is fully marked.
9.
You can now connect the outer marks to draw the outer boundary of the read
zone.
Figure 8-1 is a view of a sample read zone within a controlled lane. The outer X
marks show the outside edges of the read zone.
Figure 8-1 Sample Read Zone Marking Pattern
10. Standing at the farthest point of the pattern, walk toward the toll antenna and
listen for a continuous sound from the audible tester. If the sound is not
continuous, it could indicate a weak or patchy RF pattern.
Use the appropriate TCP command (Set RF Attenuation (0051H) or Set Data
Detect (0053H) or both) to adjust the footprint for the installation’s tag protocols.
To decrease the size of the footprint, increase the attenuation, which lowers the
transmit RF power.
Lane Configuration Examples
This section presents starting values for lane configuration parameters that can be
used for various protocol combinations. The tables do not represent all of the possible
protocol combinations available with the Orion Reader, but they provide a framework
for developing installation-specific configuration parameters.

Troubleshooting Guidelines
The Orion Reader is very reliable, so any service-related problems will most likely be
due to external causes, such as damage to components. Visually inspect each system
component and replace or repair components as needed.
To perform a visual inspection
1. Make sure all component connectors are secure.
2.
Make sure that the antenna is connected to the Orion Reader.
3.
Make sure the Orion Reader is powered up by checking the Orion Reader Power
LEDs. The NEMA Box must be open.
4.
Make sure the Orion Reader is communicating with the lane controller/host
system by checking operational/fault LEDs.
5.
Review diagnostic commands and responses by accessing diagnostic port
(COM2). The NEMA Box must be open.
Communicating Via Diagnostic Port (COM2)
You can check the Orion Reader diagnostics by connecting a personal computer (PC)
9-4
Use or disclosure of Proprietary Information contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction stated on the title page of this document.
System Diagnostics and Preventive Maintenance
to the Orion Reader COM2 port using a serial null-modem cable. This cable crosses
over the transmit and receive pins, which allows you to communicate with the Orion
Reader. The COM2 port is located inside the NEMA box.
Once you have connected the PC to the Orion Reader, you need to configure the terminal emulation software.

Hardware Preventive Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Procedures
The Orion Reader system has limited serviceable parts, however, there are preventive
maintenance steps that can help to keep the equipment operating to specification. This
section describes the preventive maintenance steps and troubleshooting techniques
that can help determine if a component is failing.
Hardware Preventive Maintenance Schedule
Table 9-16 lists the schedule of preventive maintenance activities for the Orion
Reader system components.
Table 9-16 Preventive Maintenance Task Schedule
Period
Weekly
Task Description
Visually inspect the antennas for physical damage, such as
cracks or stressed cables.
Quarterly
Visually inspect all transmit/receive antenna cables for signs of
damage or water invasion.
Semiannually
Check the lane configuration. See Chapter 9 for detailed lane
configuration settings.
The toll antennas have two weep holes located at the lower left
and right corners of the radome. Check that these holes are
open to allow any trapped water to drain from the antenna.
Note If the antennas are installed upside down (Star Systems
logo is upside down) drill two new weep holes in the
lower left and right corners of the radome.
Annually
Check NEMA enclosure seal for signs of damage or water
invasion.
Visual Inspection
The Orion Reader system is very reliable, so any service-related problems most likely
will be due to external causes, such as damage to components. Visually inspect each
system component and replace or repair components, if serviceable, as needed.
To perform a visual inspection
1. Inspect the transmit/receive antenna for signs of damage or corrosion.
2.
Check cables between the transmit/receive antenna and the Orion Reader. Look
for damage or loose connections.

Communications
The Orion Reader communicates with a host via an Ethernet communications protocol.
TCP/IP Fast Ethernet Connection
The Orion Reader communicates with a host via an Ethernet communications protocol. This connection requires an RJ–45 connector. If you connect the Orion Reader
directly to a host personal computer (PC) then you need a crossover cable. Star Systems recommends that you use Belden 7929A Category 5e twisted-pair cable for
Ethernet connections.
The Ethernet connector is an RJ-45 jack and uses a 100-base T interface. If the Orion
Reader is connected directly to the host system then a crossover cable is required.

Digital Input/Output Modules
The digital input/output (I/O) assembly is used to interface the Orion Reader with
external inputs and outputs. Inputs can be devices such as light curtains or loops, and
outputs can be devices such as gates or lights.
The digital I/O circuit board can accommodate up to four OPTO 22 G4-model input or
output modules and screw terminal connectors for connecting the Orion Reader to
external interfaces. These modules are optional.
Presence detectors (loop detectors, wheel detectors, infrared/laser lights) can be
installed through the input sense circuits to turn on the Orion Reader when an object is
detected approaching the reading range.
Output functions such as traffic lights, cameras, signs and gates may be controlled
through the reader’s status output circuits.
The output modules are controlled by 5V signals from the Orion Reader. The output
modules support voltages up to 100V DC or 130V AC on their output pins. The input
module outputs a 5V signal to the Orion Reader. The input modules recommended by
Star Systems use from 2.5V to 28V DC.
The OPTO 22 input/output modules are not supplied with the digital I/O assembly. Go
to www.opto22.com for a listing of input and output modules.
Caution
The Orion Reader digital I/O port is not surge protected, therefore Star Systems
strongly recommends that only OPTO 22 modules be used to configure any external
I/O device that will be controlled through the digital I/O port. DO NOT connect any
external device directly to the digital I/O port.
Damage to the Orion Reader caused by power surges or spikes linked to incorrect
use of the digital I/O port will void the reader warranty.
Required Components/Tools
Before installing the digital I/O assembly and modules, make sure you have the necessary components.

You can configure the I/O assembly with any combination of the four modules; for
instance, four inputs, four outputs, three inputs and one output, three outputs and one
input, and so on.
Global Positioning System Timing Option
The Global Positioning System (GPS) timing option available on Orion Readers permits a GPS-equipped multiprotocol reader in one plaza to be synchronized with
another GPS-equipped multiprotocol reader in another location without being physically connected by a sync cable. This configuration is highly useful when physical
barriers or boundaries prevent a sync cable between plazas to be used. The GPS option
also can be used to synchronize any number of GPS-equipped multiprotocol readers
when no physical barrier is present.
The GPS timing assembly, which uses the globally available NAVSTAR GPS satellite navigation and timing service, can provide a precise 1 pulse per second (PPS) timing signal to the Orion Reader. The GPS timing assembly mounts to the top of the
Orion Reader (Figure D-5).

Orion Reader Options
This GPS timing option permits a GPS-equipped Orion Reader in one plaza to be synchronized with another GPS-equipped Orion Reader in another plaza without being
physically connected by a Sync data cable (Figure D-6). This configuration is useful
when physical barriers or long distances prevent a Sync data cable between plazas to
be used.
Figure D-6 Sync Configuration Using GPS Timing Option
Star Systems recommends Belden 89182 (150  impedance), which is a single
twisted-pair shielded cable rated for outdoor use, or 8132 (120  impedance), which
is a double twisted-pair shielded cable that must be installed in conduit. The Belden
8132 cable has an extra pair that is not used. Using these low-loss, low-capacitance
twisted-pair cable, a distance of 1000 feet (305 m) has been obtained. This maximum
distance may be slightly longer or shorter depending on the cable type used.

Configuring the Reader/Slave Count
This section explains how to configure the reader/slave hierarchy (GPS primary/GPS
secondary or master/slave) using the GPS TCP command.

For this example, the sum of the delay and duration period is 19.9 milliseconds, which
is less than the synchronization rate of 20 milliseconds. If the sum of the delay and
duration periods equals the synchronization rate, unexpected results can occur.
Slave Select Count — This field specifies the order that a slave or GPS primary or
secondary reader issues a synchronization pulse whenever a given reader within a synchronization group fails to recognize the signal from the preassigned master or whenever a GPS receiver fails to issue a 1-pps signal, respectively. The maximum slave
count = 26.
Scenario 1 — One master, n slaves. The master has no slave behavior, therefore it is
assigned a slave select count of 0. Each slave is assigned an increasingly greater number from 1 to n. When the master fails, slave 1 becomes the master, and so on.
Scenario 2 — GPS primary, GPS secondary, N slave readers. When in fault mode (1pps signal missing), a GPS primary is slave to a GPS secondary and all other slaves
and is assigned the last slave select count, n. A GPS secondary takes over when a GPS
primary is in fault mode, therefore it is assigned a slave select count of 1. All slaves
are assigned increasingly greater numbers from 2 to n+1.
Scenario 3 — One GPS primary and n slaves. This scenario forces the GPS primary
to have no slave behavior by specifying a slave select count of 0. Each slave is an
increasingly higher number from 1 to n. When the master fails, slave 1 becomes the
master. If slave 1 should fail, slave 2 takes over, and so on (Table D-6).

The antenna connects to the GPS assembly via an RF coaxial cable that is supplied by
the Orion Reader user. The GPS antenna cable connects the receiver to the assembly’s
end panel and is externally available.
For applications requiring lightning protection on the GPS assembly/antenna system,
the lightning arrestor must be able to pass DC voltage or current on the center conductor of the coaxial cable. The GPS assembly transmits a DC bias voltage and current
through the center conductor from to the antenna to power the low-noise amplifier,
which is integrated into the active GPS antenna. Using a DC-block lightning protection system will not work. Star Systems recommends you use a gas-discharge-type
system designed for an active GPS antenna.

ESD System
NSG438 system, which complies with a 150-picofarad/330-ohm
discharge network of the IEC/EN 61000-4-2 standard
Test conditions
All ESD tests are performed at +77F (+25C)
Antenna Drive and Protection Circuitry
The receiver uses an antenna sense circuit that detects under-current (open), over-current (shorted or exceeding maximum), or valid antenna connection. The receiver supplies up to 80 milliamps (mA) of current via the antenna power supply circuit.
If the antenna draws 15 mA or more, a status bit in the antenna status information is
set, giving a good indication that an antenna is attached.
If the antenna draws less than 15 mA, an alarm bit is set indicating an under-current
condition in the antenna status information.
If more then 80 mA is drawn through the antenna port, then the over-current detection
circuitry will reduce the antenna feed current to approximately 45 mA until the fault is
cleared.
Detection of an under-current situation will not prevent the receiver from operating.
The receiver will continue to operate normally, but will issue an error flag indicating a
possible antenna problem.
Antenna Drive Current Limits
Undercurrent detect @+77oF (25oC)
Good Indication: greater than 15 mA
Undercurrent Indication: less than 15 mA
Over-current Detect @+77oF (25oC): 80 mA maximum for normal operation

Orion Reader System Guide
Troubleshooting the GPS System
Note: See “Communicating Via Diagnostic Port (COM2)” on page 10-4 to learn how
to access system diagnostics fault messages.
When the GPS receiver initializes, it performs a self-test, which includes a check of
the GPS antenna status. If a fault condition exists, the message displays GPS Self Test
Fault = 1, which means that an error condition exists with either the GPS receiver or
coaxial antenna cable. You can display the fault status by entering a ShowSysStatusBits command from a PC.
If a fault condition exists, first check the GPS coaxial cable and connections. After
checking the cable, if the fault condition remains, switch the cable with another, good,
cable. If the fault condition continues, return the GPS assembly to Star Systems.
If the GPS self-test reveals no faults, the status bit displays GPS Self Test Fault = 0.
No further action is required.

Appendix E
Command-Based Pre- and Post-Conditions
This appendix lists pre- and post-conditions for transmission control
protocol (TCP). In these tables, Stop Mode Required indicates that the
reader first must be set to Stop Mode (Mode 0) as a pre-condition to
entering the specified command. The post-conditions, Immediate or
Reset Required, indicate that the command either takes effect
immediately or that the reader must be reset after the command has
been entered. This is a subset of the complete list of commands and
lists only those commands that are needed to configure an Orion
Reader.
