  • Page 8: Introduction

    The function of the HALO system is to monitor areas within a building for the presence of HALO Tags. A Tag is sensed when it either enters an RF Field that is set up using the EXI HALO Controller (referred to as a Tag in Field or TIF), or when the Tag initiates an alarm signal (referred to as Tag Initiated Communications, or TIC).

    The EXI HALO elements are designed such that many more than the RS-485 limit of 32 Drivers and 32 Receivers can be co-exist on the same network. The baud rate used in the HALO system is 57,600 bps, and therefore in order to avoid data corruption it is important to ensure that a clean signal is always present.

  • Page 13: Cabling Type

    4,000 ft, a RS-485 Repeater will be required to ensure that the system works reliably, or works at all. It is also recommended that a Repeater be used to isolate HALO Elevator Controllers from the main system to minimize noise pick-up and loading of the system.

Since it is preferable to leave the RX antenna attached directly to the controller, the exact location of the controller will affect the reception of the tags and should only be finalized after setting up the field.

    EXI HALO Installation & Operation Manual 981-000003-000 Take note of the following: • Ensure that no tag can reach the protected area without passing through a field. • The field should not extend into other rooms or areas that are regularly occupied by tags. These tags could keep a controller in a pre-alarm state preventing the door from opening if magnetic door locks are being used.

This detection area is highly dependent on the layout of the floor which in turn influences the placement of the Receivers on that floor.

  • Page 22: Rs-485 Interface Module (Rim)

    Each HALO Controller, Receiver and Elevator Controller needs a RIM to interface to the RS-485 network that terminates at the HALO Computer. The RIMs have a unique serial number that is associated to the locations on the floor plans of the building, so that the computer can correctly show the location of an event occurring on the system.

  • Page 23: Installing Elevator Controllers

    INSTALLING ELEVATOR CONTROLLERS Only one elevator system should be installed per elevator car. When installing an elevator system it is best to coordinate with the local Elevator Company to ensure that the elevator controls are not affected by the HALO installation.

  • Page 27: Door Not Closed" Contact

    In order for the system to operate correctly, the contacts supplied with the elevator controls that indicate when the elevator door is open or closed, have to be monitored by the HALO Elevator Controller. These contacts have to be normally open when the doors are open, and closed when the doors are closed. If such a pair of contacts is not available, a suitable set of contacts will need to be installed, as without these the HALO Elevator Controller will not shut off when the elevator doors are closed.

    • In the event that the field appears to be too strong, indicated by the fact that a Transponder is sensed well outside the elevator cab, adjust the “Range Adjust” setting within the HALO Controller located inside the Cabinet to optimize the exciter field (see Threshold setting instructions for HALO Controller in Section 5.7.1.5)

This means four pins of the eight-position connector are used. The following table shows the RJ-45 connector pin assignments.

  • Page 31: Theory Of Operation

    All Halo tags will transmit their serial number whenever they first enter a field created by a HALO controller. We refer to this type of communication as a TIF (tag in field) for the purpose of brevity. The HALO controller is able to communicate directly with one Tag even if there are multiple Tags in the field since the communication is bi-directional.

  • Page 32: Halo Controller

    See Appendices for details. The HALO controller uses the Door Switch input to disable alarm reporting, when the door is closed. This is known as the Nurse Saver Feature. Although Tags are still detected and reported to a central system, no alarms are annunciated until the door opens.
