1. General Information The locator LCA 500 is a major component in the amanTag Human and Asset-Protection System. It simultaneously receives and processes the signals of the amanTag Transponders. It transmits a constant wake-up signal with a location code up to a range of 5 m.
3. Mechanical Dimensions 3.1 LCA 500 All dimensions in mm [inch] For LED explanation, see chapter 6. preliminary_fcc_lca-500_manual_en_896322_v200428_rev_3.docx...

5.5 RS-485 Terminator Switches Termination can be activated by flipping the termination switch to the “ON” position. This must be done if the device is on either end of the bus. Most RS-485-buses require termination resistors across the conduc- tor pair. The need for termination has to be checked for each installation. Especially for high data rates or long cables, the resistors are absolutely necessary.
200ms, when a transponder has been read (this may be changed in configuration). All signalization devices are configurable. Configuration via DeisterConfig Autotrim is automatically triggered on every startup of the reader. Connect the LCA 500 to a communication adapter (e.g.: SNG 3). • Connect the communication adapter to a PC. •...
The configuration data of the device is loaded from the device and will be displayed: Device Info Field Device Info contains information about the device: preliminary_fcc_lca-500_manual_en_896322_v200428_rev_3.docx...
Basic Setup The following parameters may be changed from the Basic Setup panel: Field ID: Changing the Field ID is only necessary, if more than one device is mounted within the • Radio Range of the transponders. This requires the field ID to be unique. Reading range control: This will adjust the read range from 10% to 100% •...

If the external triggering is deactivated again, the locator must be restarted after saving in order for the option to be accepted. preliminary_fcc_lca-500_manual_en_896322_v200428_rev_3.docx...
7. Firmware update via DeisterConfig Connect the locator to a communication adapter (e.g.: SNG 3). • Connect communication adapter to a PC. • Supply locator with DC Voltage in the range of 12…24V. • Launch DeisterConfig.exe. • The following start screen appears: The content of the start screen depends on the connected devices.

(GND) of the power supply. Field Characteristics The following diagram shows the read range of the LCA 500. Please note that the read range varies de- pending on the position of the transponder as shown in the diagram below. The presence of any magnetic material such as steel changes the given shape.
9. Do´s and don’ts Do not place transponder in short circuit coil or Install transponder in front of or behind the short- in metal frame! circuit coil or metal! Do not install reader directly on metal! One meter distance to a metal sheet results in a ne- glectable effect on the field.
