PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The QTM-EAP10/QTM-EAP11 is an Anchor node for the Quantum RTLS system. Anchors are the reference nodes of the tracking system. This Anchor node is the stationary, tracking reference node that should not be moved after system calibration.
2.1 DEVICE COMPONENTS
2.2 PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
2.2.1 SIZE
Without mount: 32 mm tall, 119 mm wide and 66 mm deep.
2.2.2 WEIGHT
Without mount: 106 grams.
2.2.3 COMMUNICATION / POWER CONNECTORS
The unit requires active connection to power for operation and can be powered
over ethernet or DC power.
The anchor unit is connected to a power via. Ethernet or DC power supply. When
disconnected from power the unit will not remain powered on. There is no user-
facing method to power off the unit, as it is intended to be always-on.
POE
The QTM-EAP10/QTM-EAP11 features ethernet ports to allow for Power over
Ethernet (PoE) on permanent installations of the units. There are two ethernet
ports available to allow for daisy chaining of devices. The port on the same
side as the other connectors is used for power input, while the other
ethernet port is used for power output to the next device in the chain.
It 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).
The QTM-EAP10/QTM-EAP11 unit features two ethernet ports to support daisy
chaining to power multiple devices in sequence. See section 3.3 for more
information on daisy chain connections.
CAUTION: Use only an UL 60950-1 and IEC 62368-1: 2014 listed 802.3at Type
2 “PoE+” (30.0W) PoE capable power port.
DC POWER CONNECTOR
A DC power connector is available for permanent installations where PoE is not
available.
CAUTION: Use only an UL 60950-1 and IEC 62368-1: 2014 listed 56V, 0.5A
power supply. (Phishing Technology Co., Ltd. Type: PSAC30U-560L6 or
equivalent)
USB
A micro-USB type connector is for factory testing purposes only.
CAUTION: Do not establish a connection between the device and a PC unless
directed by a ZeroKey support member.
2.3 ALERTS, WARNINGS, AND INDICATORS
2.3.1 LIGHT ALERT
Upon boot-up, the QTM-EAP10/QTM-EAP11 LED will turn solid white for 1 second,
then turn solid red for 1 second before entering idle state.
COLOUR & PATTERN | MEANING |
---|---|
Solid green | On, idle – not positioning |
Blinking green | On, normal operation – positioning |
All LED’s (RGB) | DFU mode – receiving firmware update |
INSTALLATION
3.1 MOUNTING THE QTM-EAP10/QTM-EAP11
3.1.1 UNIVERSAL MOUNT
To use the universal mount:
-
Line up the notches on the mount with the mounting holes on the bottom of the device
-
Twist the mount in a clockwise direction 15 degrees 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. The “V” shaped groove on the short edge allows for mounting on round surfaces such as poles. 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 anchor so that the transducer is approximately pointed towards the area of interest.
Transducer can be adjusted afterwards.
NOTE: For more information on anchor network and placement requirements, see ZeroKey Support Materials at zerokey.com.
3.2 ADJUSTING THE TRANSDUCER
The transducer on the QTM-EAP10/QTM-EAP11 can be adjusted to allow for more
flexible coverage of the tracked space. To adjust the transducer:
- Loosen the set screw next to the transducer
- Rotate the transducer to the desired orientation
- Tighten the set screw next to the transducer
NOTE: Avoid over-tightening the set screw, as it could cause damage to the transducer.
3.3 CONNECTING
The QTM-EAP10/QTM-EAP11 features two ethernet ports to allow for PoE via.
daisy chain. Although not the only option for powering QTM-EAP10/QTM-EAP11
units, daisy chaining is the preferred method when deploying a permanent
installation. The port on the same side as the other connectors is used for
power input, while the other ethernet port is used for power output to the
next device in the chain. For best outcomes, consider the following
recommendations:
- The maximum number of units in one chain should not exceed 12 for the QTM-EAP11 and 10 for the QTM-EAP10
- Cable length should not exceed 100 m
- The ZeroKey pinout standard for pinout termination is 568A
- The devices must be powered via 802.3at Type 2, “PoE+” (25.52W) in order to reach maximum number daisy chained units.
- Connect all devices before powering on the system
Refer to Section 2.2.3 for input voltage requirements.
Once power has been supplied to the system, refer to section 2.3.1 to verify
that all devices are on and on and have entered idle state. Before continuing
to system calibration, ensure that the QTMEAP10/QTM-EAP11 device is detected
by the Quantum RTLS Gateway.
3.4 CALIBRATION
Before regular system operation can occur, the network of Anchor nodes must go
through a calibration via. the ZeroKey Configuration Tool.
NOTE: For more information on system calibration, see ZeroKey Support
Materials at zerokey.com.
OPERATION
The QTM-EAP10/QTM-EAP11 is a Quantum RTLS Anchor node. In Quantum RTLS, the anchor unit performs as one of many reference nodes in the RTLS tracking system. In regular operation there is a network of 6 or more anchor nodes that have enough spatial diversity covering the tracked space to provide diverse ranging information to each mobile device to enable accurate positioning. Anchor nodes are mounted in permanent locations and must remain stationary after calibration and during system operation. There is no further need to physically interact with the QTM-EAP10/QTM-EAP11 during regular system operation.
