DEVICE COMPONENTS
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
SIZE
Without mount: 24 mm tall, 97 mm wide and 65 mm deep. With mount: 27 mm, 121
mm wide and 114mm deep.
WEIGHT
Without mount: 76 g

COMMUNICATION / POWER CONNECTORS
The unit requires active connection to power for operation, and can be powered
over micro-USB, ethernet, or DC power.
USB
The QTM-AGP10 can be connected to a PC or server via. USB connection to
communicate with and supply power to the device. It is recommended to use a
different method of connection if permanently installing the device on the
roof.
CAUTION: Use only manufacturer/dealer specified USB Cable to power device.
POE
The QTM-AGP10 features an ethernet port which can be used for both Power over
Ethernet (PoE) and communications. This port only supports power input. It is
recommended to use a PoE-specific cable if using this method to power the
device. For best outcomes, use a PoE-specific cable with 24 AWG conductor.
This device conforms to 802.3at Type 2 “PoE+” (30.0W).
CAUTION: Use only manufacturer/dealer specified PoE capable cabling and power ports.
DC POWER CONNECTOR
If communicating with the QTM-AGP10 via. ethernet cable that does not support
PoE, the device can be powered using the DC power connector.
CAUTION: Use only manufacturer/dealer specified power supply (Phihong Technology Co., Ltd. Type: PSAC30U-560L6 or equivalent).
WIRELESS ANTENNA
In order to communicate with the rest of the Quantum RTLS system, the QTM-
AGP10 features two wireless antenna options.
INERNAL
The QTM-AGP10 contains an internal antenna with an effective range of 150
meters for short-range applications.
EXTERNAL
The QTM-AGP10 features an RF SMA port to connect a high-gain external antenna.
The external antenna has an effective range of 300 meters for long-range
applications and wide-area installations.
ALERTS, WARNINGS, AND INDICATORS
LIGHT ALERT
Upon boot-up, the QTM-AGP10 LED will turn solid white for 1 second, then turn
solid red for 1 second before entering idle state.
Blinking green, every 2 seconds | On, normal operation |
---|---|
Solid white | DFU mode – receiving firmware update |
Blinking green | Serial data in |
Blinking red | Serial data out |
INSTALLATION
MOUNTING THE QTM-AGP10
UNIVERSAL MOUNT
To use the universal mount:
-
Line up the notches on the mount with the mounting locking features on the bottom of the device
-
Twist the mount in a clockwise direction until it clicks into place
-
Adjust the universal mount to fit the installation location. For additional fitment options, the mount can be left flat, the sides can be removed using snips or side cutters, or the sides can be folded along the edge. If all edges are folded in, they can interlock with one another at the corners to assemble a universal shape. There are holes on the sides and along the edges so that the unit can be secured with materials such as cable ties, Velcro, or wire.
-
Mount the QTM-AGP10 in a secure location where it will maintain connection to power and the PC or data center.
CAUTION: Ensure the device is mounted in a location where all nodes in the Quantum RTLS system will be within range and have line-of-sight. If not attaching an external antenna, the QTM-AGP10 has an effective range of 150 meters. If using the high-gain external antenna, effective range is extended to 300 meters. Effective range is greatly influenced by structures and objects in the transmission path.
CONNECTING
Open the ZeroKey Configuration Tool on a PC. Using any of the methods
mentioned in Section 2.2.3, power up the device and connect it to the PC. Upon
successful boot up, the LED will turn solid white for 1 second, then turn
solid red for 1 second before entering idle state. Once it is in idle state,
the LED will blink green every 2 seconds. If powering the device over PoE or
USB and the LED does not turn on, ensure the cable supports power delivery.
Upon successful connection, the connection dropdown in the top right corner of
the Configuration Tool will automatically populate with the COM port of the
device.
Click the Connect button to establish connection in the Configuration Tool and start system configuration
See the ZeroKey Configuration Tool manual for more information on Quantum RTLS system configuration, setup, and usage.
OPERATION
In Quantum RTLS, the QTM-AGP10 is used for communication from the Quantum RTLS system, including anchor and mobile nodes. In regular operation the device is mounted in a location where its connection to power and communications will not be disrupted. Whenever a mobile unit is within Radio range of the device, the mobile will relay positioning information, which can be fed into external applications for real-time logistics, analytics, alerting and more.
