Introduction
The EX5500 Controller is a component of the Stanley Healthcare suite of enterprise-
level visibility solutions based on standard Wi-Fi communication for security and
safety applications. The EX5500 Controller provides sophisticated RFID detection,
monitoring, and control capabilities.
The EX5500 Controller triggers Hugs Tags as they pass through an Egress or as they
approach the Controller. Tags in turn transmit a message to either the Location
Receivers or to compatible Access Points within range. The Controller can activate or
deactivate Tags, program them, or even instruct Tags to operate in a specific way
(for example, to blink). This provides instant acknowledgment that a tagged asset
has passed through a gate, doorway, or other specifically defined area.

EX5500 Controller Applications and Industry
Examples
Theft Prevention
Healthcare organizations or enterprises with expensive and mission-critical
equipment can tag valuable assets that are intended to remain within a specified
area. The Stanley Healthcare System can track the location of such items and trigger
an alert when they pass through an exit point or enter a restricted area.
Automatic Inventory Management
Logistics organizations can update inventory records by automatically determining
assets within defined areas, ensuring real-time knowledge of inventory levels
without manual checks or barcode scanning.
Real-Time Alerts
Organizations can use Stanley Healthcare Controllers to trigger automated events
and alerts based on the current location of an asset. For example, in a shipping yard,
notifications can be sent when vehicles pass through gates and enter or exit a certain
dock or bonded area.
Security applications
Stanley Healthcare Controllers can be installed at the entrances of restricted areas to
trigger alerts when unauthorized persons attempt to enter or leave. In hospitals,
Controllers can notify staff regarding patient movement, such as a patient leaving
the behavioral health department, or an infant being moved out of the NICU.
Mission Critical Applications
The EX5500 Controller can work in an off-line mode, enabling it to function as a
security application even when the network is down and communication with
MobileView is lost.

EX5500 Controller Features
RFID detection of Stanley Healthcare Tags
The EX5500 Controller triggers Tags to transmit as they pass through a defined area,
within a range of up to 6.5 meters (21.3 feet). This is typically enough to cover door
or gate areas. The EX5500 also supports a chained configuration, thus enabling an
increased RFID detection range for larger areas.
Note
The EX5500 Controller’s effective range may be less than the configured
range due to specific site or environmental constraints. The effective
range must be taken into consideration when planning and designing
the deployment.
Figure 2: EX5500 Positioned at a Doorway Triggering a Tag
Tag behavior modification:
The EX5500 Controller can wirelessly activate and deactivate Tags. Tag battery life
can be extended by switching them off when they leave a defined tracking area
through a gate or doorway. The Controller can also be configured to change the Tag
transmission rate temporarily to accommodate different usage patterns in different
environments.
Message Programming functions
The EX5500 Controller can store messages on the Tag for subsequent transmission.
The message transmission can subsequently be triggered by other EX5500s, enabling
sophisticated process control functions.
The EX5500 Controller can trigger a Tag to:
•Transmit up to 15 bytes of data sent to it by the EX5500

EX5500 Controller Installation & Configuration Guide
7
•Transmit one of 15 pre-stored messages
•Store up to 15 bytes of data sent to it by the EX5500
Network connectivity
The EX5500 Controller enables remote programming, monitoring, and software
updates by the Location Engine. In addition, the EX5500 can work in an offline
mode, thus eliminating the need for a physical network connection. In the offline
mode however, remote configuration and monitoring is not available.
EX5500 LED Status Indicators
The EX5500 has a single LED that changes color based on the Controller status as
follows:
•Constant Green: The Controller is on and working correctly.
•Blinking Green: The Controller is offline.
•Constant Orange: The Controller is being bypassed, for example by a
keypad operation.
•Constant Red: Controller failure or network down.
•No LED indication: Controller is off.

(#1) Ethernet LAN Connection:RJ-45 connector. In a configuration with a physical
Ethernet cable connection to the LAN, the network cable is attached here.
Permanent connection to a wired network is not mandatory. However, you must
have a wired connection to configure the EX5500 Controller. Some monitoring
functions are not available if the Controller is not wired. This connection is also used
for Power over Ethernet (PoE, 802.3af).
(#2) Power Jack:Accepts an input voltage of 24-48V DC. This is a standard 2.5 mm
jack connector for direct power supply. The power adaptor is not supplied with the
Controller and can be purchased separately. When PoE is used, this connector
becomes redundant.
(#3) Chain IN/RS-232 Connector): RJ-45 connector. This connector is used for
receiving power and data from chained Controllers. RS-232 is used as a console
interface with the Exciter Manager Application (to change IP for example). For this
option you need a special 10-pin RJ45 to DB9 serial cable (AeroScout PN
40031500000)
(#4) Chain OUT and Control Connector:RJ-45 connector. This connector is used for
distributing power and data to chained Exciters and to connect the External LF
Antenna device. The output voltage is 12 V DC (0.5A maximum).
(#5) Termination Switch: For defining the termination settings in a chained Exciters
installation. The default factory setting is Termination On (o-o). In a chained Exciters
installation, the termination of the first and last Exciter in the chain must be set to On
(o-o) and the other Exciters set to Off (-o-o-).
(#6) IP Reset:Restores the Controller's IP address to the company-set default value.
(#7) Relay Switch: Keypad Relay.
−(#a) 24-48 IN: Power connection accepts 24-48 V Direct Current
−(#b) GND IN: Ground/Earth

Network and Power Connections to EX5500
The following is a brief summary of available powering and networking options:
Usage Option Description
Single EX5500 – not
connected to a
network
EX5500s can be used as standalone devices that function
independently without any network connection. In this
case, you only need to connect the EX5500 to the power
supply.
Using System Manager, set the device as “not connected to
the network."
Single EX5500 –
connected to a
network
EX5500s can be remotely controlled (for configuration and
monitoring purposes) via the local area network. In this
case, you need to connect it to both a power source and the
network.
EX5500s also support power-over-Ethernet (PoE), which
supplies both power and network services via a single
connection.

EX5500 Controller Installation & Configuration Guide
11
Direct Power Supply
Connect a 48 VDC power source direct to the Controller’s power jack.
Note
The EX5500 Controller requires approximately 8 W of power. When
connecting a Controller to a direct power source with one of the above
options, verify that the power level is sufficient.
When using a direct power source for chained Exciters, you can only
power up to two Exciters sequentially, even if the power source is
sufficient for more.
Exciters must only be powered by a limited (marked LPS or NEC class
2) power supply.
PoE Switch
If your network has a Power-over-Ethernet infrastructure, you can connect a CAT-5
Ethernet cable from the PoE switch to the Controller’s LAN connector. This supplies
both the power and the network connection.
Note
PoE standard 802.3af class 0 allows power for a single EX5500
Controller
When using PoE with the other chained Exciters, a PoE connection must
be made to every second Exciter in the chain. In addition, the LAN
connectivity that the PoE supplies is not used for slave Exciters in a
chain. Slave Exciters receive data from the Master Exciter via the Chain
IN connection.
110/220 VAC to 48 VDC PoE Single-Port Injector
The PoE Single Port Injector converts 110/220 VAC to 48 VDC. In addition, it can
receive a network connection and you can run a single cable to the Controller’s LAN
connector, thus supplying both power and network connectivity.
When using this injector, the Controller power jack is not used.
Figure 6: 110/220 VAC to 48VDC PoE Single-Port Injector
The injector’s IN connector is connected to the network. The injector’s OUT
connector is connected to the Controller’s LAN connector.

EX5500 Controller Installation & Configuration Guide
12
The injector can be used for both networked and non-networked Controllers. In the
case of a non-networked Controller, the IN connector on the injector is not used.
110/220 VAC to 48 VDC Power Supply Adaptors
These adaptors convert 110 VAC or 220 VAC to 48 VDC.
Figure 7: 110/220 VAC to 48 VDC Adaptor
The adaptor is connected to the EX5500 Controller’s power jack. The network must
be connected separately to the EX5500 Controller’s LAN connector. This adaptor is
most commonly used for chained Exciters. It can power up to two Exciters.

Chaining the EX5500 Controllers
In an area where the required LF coverage exceeds the capacity of one EX5500
Controller, you can extend the coverage by chaining several Exciters. For example, a
large entrance with two sets of double doors too wide for a single Exciter, might
require two Exciters chained together. EX5000, EX3210, EX2000B or EX4200 Exciters
can be chained to an EX5500 Controller.
Note
EX5500 Controllers cannot be chained to other EX5500 Controllers.
The system treats chained Exciters as a single device with a single ID. Transmissions
do not interfere with one another.
Each Exciter must be positioned to allow transmission range overlap between
neighboring Exciters. This ensures full coverage of the area.
Figure 7 shows 5 chained Exciters, their connections and the state of each Exciter
termination switch.
Figure 8: EX5500 Chaining Using a Power Adaptor
EX5500 Chain Connection
Up to 4 Exciters can be connected to the EX5500 in a chain, as follows:
1. The first Exciter in the chain, directly connected to the LAN, is designated the
“Master”. Other Exciters are designated “Slave”.
EX5500 Controllers can act as either Master or Slave Exciters.

EX5500 Controller Installation & Configuration Guide
14
2. The Master Exciter is connected to the first Slave Exciter as follows: Master
Chain OUT to Slave Chain IN.
3. Slave Exciters are then connected as follows: Slave OUT to Slave IN.
4. The Termination Switch of the Master Exciter and the last Slave Exciter in the
chain must be set to On (o-o).
On the other Slave Exciters, it must be set to Off (-o o-).
5. The Master/Slave configuration is set via System Manager.
Slave Exciters inherit the Master Exciter ID and LF configuration, as well as the
transmission range.

EX5500 Controller Installation & Configuration Guide
15
Note
Each slave must be connected directly to the network and configured
the following parameters configured before being connected to the
MASTER:
•Transmission Range: Select the desired transmission range of
the slave Exciter so that the LF coverage is sufficient and some
overlap exists between the chained Exciters' LF coverage
•Connected to network: Make sure the Connected to network
checkbox is unchecked.
•Chaining and External Connections: Check the Exciter is Slave
Checkbox
Resetting the EX5500 Controller IP Address
You can reset the EX5500 Controller’s IP address to the factory default value. The
default IP address is 192.168.1.178.
•Press the IP Reset button with a ballpoint pen for 5 second.
After a successful IP reset, a red LED indication appears for two seconds.
