1 Introduction
The xConnect xTPra Short Range Reader is part of a proprietary data acquisition and
tracking system. It provides an HF RFID reader (TX/RX) to read RFID tag data from
proprietary RFID media. This RFID tag data can be then sent over an Ethernet connection to
a data collection/concentration object. The xTPra is designed to be mounted in harsh
environments.
The xTPrs is a derivative model of the xTPra that adds support for being powered by 24VDC
and interfacing to an external sensor through its peripheral interface connect or.

4.1 Detailed Interface Descriptions
4.1.1 Ethernet 10/100 RJ-45 (PoE):
The Ethernet interface is standard 802.3af PoE interface. The external connector is
an IP67 rated connector. This connector is from L-Com, Part number WPRJ-FTCAT5E.
Cable Assemblies in the L-Com TRD5WP and WPRJ series will mate with this
connector of an IP67 rated connection.
With external DC power applied to the xTPrs through the peripheral interface, that
power source will be internally selected over the PoE interface.
4.1.2 RF Antenna Interface
The RF interface provides a 50 SMA connection to an external 13.56MHz antenna.

4.1.3 Peripheral Connector
On the xTPrs the peripheral interface connector is available. The Peripheral
Connector on the xTPra model is not connected internally.
The 18 pin Peripheral connector provides the DC input power source for the xTPrs as
well as an opto-coupled input signal.
The pinout of this connector is as follows:

- Cable runs are located in the same building as this unit.
- Cable runs through air between buildings are less than 42m (140ft).
- Cable runs between buildings are directly buried.
- Cable runs between buildings are in underground conduit, where a continuous metallic
cable shield or a continuous metallic conduit containing the cable is bonded to each
building grounding electrode system.
*These options are from the US National Electrical Code, Sections 800.10, 800.12, 800.13, 800.31, 800.32,

6 Operation and Configuration
For more detailed configuration and operational instructions, please refer to document 900-
0060, xBRC User Interface User Guide.
6.1 xTPrs Configuration Options
The default configuration of the xTPrs sensor interface input is current sinking which
supports PNP (current sourcing) type sensors.
This interface can be reconfigured to support NPN (current sinking) type sensors by
modifying a PCB component installation.
To change the configuration to NPN Sensor, remove R100 and install a 0402, zero ohm
resistor at R87.
