6.1 Operation at the End of a Network Line
If an ARE K1/PFB is used at the end of a network line, the termination has to be activated as de-
scribed in the previous subchapter. In this device only one data cable is connected to the reader box. It
is indifferent, which one of the both ports is used for the data cable. To ensure the tightness of the the
protection class of IP65 the port unused has to be closed with a plain SAB cab.
7 Initial Operation
Before switching on the power supply following steps have to be done:
• Make full cabelling due to Figure 2-1
• Connect an active antenna AAN FKx at the end of the antenna cable, the antenna will be pow-
ered by the reader device. Don't bring the antenna close to metall or other antennae!
• Connect the power cable to the power supply. Pay attention for right polarity!
• Switch on power
• The typical stand by current is 140 ... 170 mA in triggerd (MD 2) operating mode.
• The LED indicator "OP" has to blink, the LED indicator "BusFail"
1
has to be on (for position of
the indicators see subchapter 7.1)

The indicator "BusFail" is on as long as the device is not configurated and not parametrized. In this state no data transfer is possible between slave
and master. If the device is successfully configurated and not parametrized, then the indicator "BusFail" will switch off and the indicator "Run" will
swich on. This signalizes the possibility to tranfer data.
