The Connection between reader and people counter takes place through the RS485 Interface of
the reader, inside the antenna.
There is no need of a direct connection from the GPC to the Host. All commands from the Host to
the People Counters are embedded in the Pickyback command of the reader.
Generally, there are two possibilities to get the actual people counter values. Either the Host poll
the People Counter periodically or in the Notification Mode of the reader, the reader send a notifi-
cation protocol at every change.
In ISO Host or Buffered Read Mode, the host poll the GPC by sending protocols. Only, in the Noti-
fication Mode, the reader poll the counter values, automatically, and send data according the read-
er configuration to the host.

Installation and Wiring
Notes:
Before installing the antennas please read 0 Project Notes .The spacing of the antennas in
a gate depends on the antenna configuration.
If multiple antennas or gates are connected to different readers, a minimum clearance of
8 m must be kept between the antennas or gates. For shorter distances (1 m –8 m) the
readers must be synchronized. The synchronization of the readers is only possible in one
of the Automatic Modes (Buffered Read, Notification or Scan Mode). Below a distance of 1.5
m the antennas must also be shielded from each other. Otherwise the read range will be
significantly reduced. The antennas must have a minimum distance of 20 cm to all larger
metal parts! At a distance of less than 50 cm between the antenna and metal parts the read
range will be significantly reduced.

for the cable entry, can be marked and drilled. The dimensions are shown in Fig. 6:
Fig. 6: Floor plate dimensions
All dimensions are in mm with general tolerance to ISO 2768 m (middle).
The size and type of the anchors depends considerably on the strength of the base or floor. The
anchors should be capable of withstanding a permissible load of at least 5 kN per anchor for all
load directions (e.g. for concrete floor Hilti HVA anchors with HAS-(E) M8 threaded rod or Hilti HIS-
N M8 (5/16”) threaded inserts). The size of the mounting holes in the antenna is 10 mm (.39”). The
length of the anchors or bolts should be selected such so they jut out at least 40 mm (1.6”) and
maximum of 55 mm (2.2”) of the floor.
Please follow the mounting instructions of the anchor manufacturer!
A cable opening is provided for the necessary connection cable (see Fig. 6). The cable opening is
dimensioned such as up to 10 cables having a diameter of 6 mm can be passed through the

Typical Antenna Configuration (Gate Antenna with two Antennas)
The standard configuration of a gate with three-dimensional tag orientation consists of one
ID ISC.ANT1800/700-A with reader and multiplexer and one ID ISC.ANT1800/700-B. If a tag
moves, at horizontal line, through the gate, it can be read at least once. This ensures high reliability
of the antenna system.
Project Notes Antenna
The antenna configuration as described allows detection of a tag moving at a horizontal line,
through the reading area of the gate. The tag orientation is non-critical. The tags are detected
along a horizontal axis of motion in certain regions within the antennas. The area of detection
depends on the tag orientation.
The size of the three-dimensional reading area of the antennas is shown in the sketch below.
Fig. 10: Capture area and tag orientation
Notes:
Note that the entire reading area of the antenna gate is larger than the three-dimensional
area shown in the drawing. (Fig. 11). This means there are tag orientations in which the tag
can be detected outside the reading area.
To get a optimal performance the reader has to be configured and run in one of the
Automatic Modes (Buffered Read, Notification or Scan Mode).
