The site design is detailed in the D0406 Location Sensor Placement Guide. 2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES The Location Sensor receives the signals transmitted by the WhereTags, which are attached to the tracked assets. The decoded tag information is time stamped and routed to a PC for additional processing. The locate algorithm running on the PC calculates the tag position based on the time stamps of multiple Location Sensors, and reports that position to the database where it is displayed by Resource Manager. There are two separate Location Sensor models: • LOS-4100 (802.3 Wired Ethernet) • LAP-4200 (with 802.11b Wireless LAN Access Point, also known as a Locating Access Point) The difference between the two models is that the LAP-4200 contains an Access Point, while the LOS-4100 does not. These units are identical in appearance; the
___________________________________________________________________________ Infrastructure Installation Guide ___________________________________________________________________________ 7 Location Sensor Installation Guide D0405 rev PA6  Copyright WhereNet, Corp. 2001 WhereNet Confidential only way to distinguish them is by the model number on the housing. Note that both units have a wired Ethernet port; the LAP-4200 has a can function as either a client bridge or an access point. Both units also include a low power transmitter which is used to distribute configuration data, and timing signals to other Location Sensor units. This transmitter has the same transmitter characteristics as a tag. Features include: • Outdoor weatherproof housing • Wireless data transport capability • Wireless Timing capability There are three separate antenna options for the Location Sensor. In addition, there is an optional high gain Wireless LAN Access Point directional antenna for installations in which the standard antennas do not proved the range required to communicate with the base access point. The available antennas are listed in section 4 below.

The connector types and recommended cable types are detailed in section 4 above. Left RightPowerAntenna SerialEthernetTiming Figure 11 Location Sensor connections 9.1 Power The customer must provide 120 Vac power to the specified Location Sensor position. The Location Sensor utilizes an external power supply to convert 120 Vac to the required +18 to 36 Vdc. The recommended power supply has a 6 foot (2 m) AC cable and a 6 foot (2 m) dc cable. The electrician should verify that the AC power is available within 3 feet (1 m) of the position of the Location Sensor.
___________________________________________________________________________ Infrastructure Installation Guide ___________________________________________________________________________ 24 Location Sensor Installation Guide D0405 rev PA6  Copyright WhereNet, Corp. 2001 WhereNet Confidential This allows a 9 foot (3 m) “service loop” margin if the Location Sensor position must be readjusted after the AC power is installed. For outdoor installations the power supply must be installed within a suitable waterproof housing. Follow local and national building codes. 9.2 Timing For most indoor and some outdoor applications the Location Sensor requires at least one timing cable to be connected to other nearby Location Sensor units. The site design document will specify which Location Sensors will be connected together. Each of the three timing ports on the Location Sensor is an identical bi-directional link. The cable and connector types are specified in section 4 above. For a reliable system operation, the jacket of the timing cable must be securely crimped inside the RJH connector. Standard eight conductor cat 5 cable is too large for crimping in the 4 wire connector; the recommended 4 wire cable must be utilized to ensure a proper crimp. _____________ _________________________ ______________
___________________________________________________________________________ Infrastructure Installation Guide ___________________________________________________________________________ 25 Location Sensor Installation Guide D0405 rev PA6  Copyright WhereNet, Corp. 2001 WhereNet Confidential The following rules must be applied when connecting timing cables between the Location Sensors: • Do not connect the timing cable from one Location Sensor back to the same Location Sensor. • Do not connect two timing cables between the same two Location Sensors. • The maximum timing cable length is 1000 feet (310 m). Install the Location Sensor timing cables from one unit to the next, as specified in the site design document, using the specified 2 pair Cat 3 cable and RJH (telephone handset) connectors. Incorrect routing of the timing cables between the Location Sensors may result in decreased location accuracy. 9.3 Ethernet The Location Sensor utilizes standard 10/100 802.3 Ethernet connectivity via cat 5 cables. The Location Sensor must be wired to a nearby hub, which is in turn connected to the network containing the database cpu. The maximum Ethernet cable run is 328 feet (100 m). If additional distance is required, hubs, repeaters, and fiber (with 10baseT converters) can be used to extend the distance. Refer to IEEE guidelines for Ethernet cabling. ____________ ______________
___________________________________________________________________________ Infrastructure Installation Guide ___________________________________________________________________________ 26 Location Sensor Installation Guide D0405 rev PA6  Copyright WhereNet, Corp. 2001 WhereNet Confidential Do not exceed the maximum Ethernet cabling length of 328 ft (100 m). 9.4 Access Point Antenna Cabling (Optional) In many installations, the Access Point antenna must have omni directional RF coverage to support communication from nearby 802.11 wireless terminals. Thus, in the standard configuration the Access Point shares the same antennas as the Location Sensor. However, in some installations the distance between the Location Sensor and the receiving Access Point is beyond the maximum **TBD** range supported by the omni directional antennas. In that case the optional high gain antenna must be utilized to permit the embedded Access Point to communicate with the receiving Access Point. The high gain Access Point antenna will increase the communication range to approximately 2000 feet (620 m) (US Only), at a bit rate of 1 MB/s, when used in conjunction with a receiving omni directional antenna. The range in Europe will be less due to regulatory output power restrictions. ____________ ______________
___________________________________________________________________________ Infrastructure Installation Guide ___________________________________________________________________________ 27 Location Sensor Installation Guide D0405 rev PA6  Copyright WhereNet, Corp. 2001 WhereNet Confidential The use of the optional high gain Access Point antenna will reduce the wireless LAN coverage range for hand held terminals in areas of the site to the side of and behind the high gain antenna due to the directivity of the antenna. To install the optional high gain Access Point antenna follow the following instructions: TBD 10 LOCATION SENSOR INSTALLATION CHECKLIST 10.1 Location Sensor Installation Verification The installation of each Location Sensor must be verified by the Account Manager to ensure that it was correctly installed at the location specified in the Site Design document.
