In an area where the required LF coverage exceeds the capacity of one Exciter,
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.
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.

EX5200 Chain Connection
Up to 8 Exciters can be connected 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".
EX5200 Exciters can act as either Master or Slave Exciters.
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.
