Your library’s collection is a valued community investment. To protect these library resources you can use the PG45i Library Detection Gates. The gates help you protect your printed materials and digital media from unintended removal or theft. When someone walks through the gates with a library item that is not checked out properly an alarm will sound.

A maximum of 16 PG45i gates can be connected to each other A maximum of 3x PG45i gates can be powered from one power supply. When more gates are used, power supplies must be added. In case of any doubt about the local wiring, consult a local licensed electrician and make sure that it meets local and national codes.
Figure 4. PG45i environment System overview In a PG45i system the gates are connected for communications and power. The first gate is called the master and each subsequent is called a slave. The gates have to be configured as such, for the system to work properly.
When more than four PG45i gates are used in a system, like the example in Figure 6, an extra power supply must be added to every third gate, which make this gate a ‘powered slave’. Check the table in Appendix A for larger setups.

A PG45i system is designed in such a way that the aisle numbering is always the same (this is done so all systems behave and function in the same, predictable way, which simplifies troubleshooting).

Testing the customer counting direction The Pg45i can show if the direction for the gates in configured correctly without having to use special software. Press the test button for approximately 1 second on the Eco Reader (Figure 14). The Eco Reader can be found in the foot (Figure 20). All lights will light up, and stay on. The test mode is now active.
Please consult your local installation regulations on how to mount the PG45i gates. With each PG45i gate a communication cable of 2m/79” is delivered. Make sure that this cable is either fitted through floor tubing or a floor mounted threshold.

1. Use the mounting frame set and two mounting plates to position the gates in the building. Use a laser pointer to align the gates to the building. Refer to Figure 16. Figure 16 - mounting frame set and mounting plates Figure 17 - Holes that need to be drilled in floor 2.
Locate the master gate and the side with the match PCB. Note: the match PCB is on the side of the PG45i with the nameplate sticker Connect the power supply to the power supply connector on the match PCB. See Figure 19 for its location.

1. Locate the side with the match PCB of the slave Note: the match PCB is on the side of the PG45i with the nameplate sticker 2. Connect the incoming communication cable of the previous master or slave to the CAN IN connector on the left.
During first installation only the settings of the master will be shown, since it is not actually configured as master and therefor it will not show settings from its slave. A PG45i gate leaves the factory configured as slave. In this way only the master needs to be set to ‘master’ during installation.

4. Reconnect with RfTest.Lite to the master and retrieve its settings. The master’s and all slave’s settings appear now. 5. Navigate to ‘GATEWAY>Settings>Customer Counting>Serial CC only’ and configure the location and orientation of the master for correct customer counting. See paragraph ‘Customer counting overview’...
Page 27
6. Navigate to ‘Settings>RFID>Signal’ and set the Tx Power to 4 watt 7. Navigate to ‘Settings>Alarm>Alarm’. Make sure Alarm is enabled, select the alarm type, select the action on an alarm, set the buzzer volume and configure the activation time of the relays, lamps in the gate and buzzer. The buzzer is limited in hardware to a activation time of max.
Page 28
Go to the settings window and navigate to ‘GATEWAY>Information>Network’ 10. To configure the IP address, click Tuning to retrieve the settings and for the master gate navigate to ‘Settings>Communication>TCP/IP’ and in the window set all the appropriate settings 11. To configure the Librix Online connection, make sure that an EcoGate device in Librix Online is created and its GUID is written down.
System operation When the system is configured correctly, the master and slaves should start multiplexing. On the EcoReader this can be seen by a blinking ‘TX LED’ (see Figure 3) and on the match PCB by a blinking antenna selection led (see Figure 2). When an alarm-enabled tag is held next to each gate, an alarm should be detected at this point.

Can I mount the gates close to other objects? Answer: Although the PG45i gates were developed to be as insensitive as possible to outside disturbances, Nedap advises to follow the recommended distances from metal objects as outlined in this document. Nearby automatic doors or metal frames might cause de-tuning of the gates, which means they need to be tuned.
Page 32
Answer: Detection Nedap PG45i gates are designed to not be affected by their surroundings, including any metal floors, when it comes to detection. Besides that, a well-grounded metal floor provides a ground for the gate which improves the balance of the gate. A well balanced gate will radiate the power that is supplied to it, instead of reflecting it back to the reader.

If the CC module is not connected correctly, the EcoReader inside the PG45i does not know it is in a PG45i gate and it will not act accordingly. If this is the case please check if: the connectors from match PCB to customer counter modules are connected correctly if the customer counter module is defective.
