Motion Sensor Configuration 3-3
Introduction
This chapter describes how to configure the XR400 to work with the DC600 when using a motion sensor, and how to install the
antennas and group them logically using firmware to avoid deployment problems. For details on the Web-based administrator option
refer to the XR400 RFID Reader Integrator Guide.
Antenna Setup and Configuration for Polling with Motion Sensor
To use the motion sensor with the DC600 enable the Use Motion Detector option using the Web-based Administrator Console of the
XR400 firmware. Refer to the XR400 RFID Reader Integrator Guide.
The motion sensor is tied to the antennas that are connected to the side of DC600 where the
motion sensor is installed. Therefore the system treats antennas 1 and 2 as a combined pair, and
antennas 3 and 4 as a combined pair. Once the antenna ports are combined, the host application
can only command the 1st and 3rd port. Any other pairing or reconfiguration results in degraded
performance.
Following are recommended antenna configurations when using a motion sensor. Avoid using other configurations.
Single Model With Two Antennas
When using the single model (left / right) with a motion sensor use antenna pairs of either Antennas 1 and 2 or Antennas 3 and 4
(depending on the model used). Ensure the antennas are mounted on the correct side as indicated by the diagram and combined into
a group before reading tags.
