Overview
Ensuring that newborn patients are well cared for means doing more than just providing excellent clinical services. Along with your standard security procedures and resources, TotGuard protects these tiny patients using the latest in RFID technology that supports alerts and alarms triggered by the TotGuard tags. TotGuard tags are the smallest active tags on the market, improving comfort and making it easy for you to apply to the tiniest of infants. It is also the first disposable infant tag in the world, making biohazard risk a thing of the past, while helping you with your bottom line. TotGuard supports unique dual tamper sensing ankle/wristband tags as well as umbilical mount tags, so you can select what best suits your facility. TotGuard gives you the confidence that you have done your best to keep your most vulnerable patients safe and sound where they are supposed to be when you install TotGuard.
Theory of Operation
The TotGuard system protects infants by attaching an RFID tag with a specially designed band to an infant, or by incorporating the tag in the infants umbilical cord clamp. It is a IT based system that utilizes standard TCP/IP communication protocol to receive tag messages through an array of RFID tag readers that reside as nodes on the network. The perimeter is defined by specialized RFID Door Control Tag Readers and Tag Exciters installed at all egress points to limit tag movement by controlling door locking hardware and generating alerts when a tag is detected near the door. Perimeter Protection All egress points are protected by Tag Reader Controllers and Tag Exciters. Tag Exciters are devices used to control the RFID tag with a low frequency RF signal and the Tag Reader Controllers monitor the tag status with the UHF signal from the tag. The Tag Reader Controllers may control door locks, elevator movement, tag bypass, and other functions. Location Tracking, Tamper Sensing TotGuard also provides location tracking and tamper sensing within the protected perimeter by covering the area with an array of tag readers to receive tag beacon signals and tamper alarms. Tags send out recurring beacon messages for location tracking and supervisory function. If beacon messages are not heard by the tag readers in a preset period of time a supervisory alarm is generated at the TotGuard console. Some tags also send out a tamper message when removed from a patient or asset. When a tamper message is received an alarm is generated at the TotGuard console.
TotGuard Components
Server Hardware The Server hardware hosts the Argus Server Application and SQL central database. The server uses standard TCP/IP protocol over Ethernet or 802.11 to communicate with the tag readers, door controllers and the TotGuard workstations. The server hardware is typically located in a secure server room. The operating system can be either Windows Server 2003, or Windows Small Business Server, depending on the network environment in which it resides. It is critical that the server be made available from a remote location through a VPN to support ongoing software upgrades, firmware upgrades, maintenance, and user support requests. Since network architectures and functional relationships vary greatly between institutions it is important that the Information Services department become involved early in the design of the VPN and understand the requirements of the TotGuard network.
Argus Application Server The Argus Application Server is a middleware that resides on the server hardware. Argus utilizes the Java platform and an ODBC compliant database.. It is available in two basic versions, Argus Lite and Argus Middleware Applications Servers. Argus Lite is a single application platform that will support only one of the TotGuard, SafeGuard, or OnGuard Consoles although multiple copies of the console can be run concurrently on an unlimited number of workstations through multiple licences. Argus Middleware is a full featured server application that provides unlimited support for all of GuardRFID user consoles and also provides a development platform for third party software developers to fully integrate with the Argus Server and database. Workstations The workstation hosts the TotGuard Console application which provides the user interface to the system. There is no practical limit to the number of workstations that can connect to the Argus Server, although a sufficient number of TotGuard licenses are needed to have users log on to the Argus Server concurrently. TotGuard Console The TotGuard Console is application software that provides the user interface to the TotGuard system. The console is fully secure and requires a valid username and password to access all functions. It allows the user to assign tags and view tag assignments, track tag locations, and perform a number of tag handling exceptions. System alarms are also displayed on the console alerting the staff of tag tamper alarms, door exit warnings and alarms. A comprehensive report wizard provides a wide range of activity reports. The TotGuard console may reside on any workstation within the same network. It may also share hardware resources with other applications, however TotGuard is designed to prioritize over any other application and in the event of a warning or alarm will always become the active window. It is recommended that at least one workstation be dedicated to the TotGuard application and become a central resource for TotGuard activities including admitting/ discharging patients, acknowledging alarms etc.
Configuration Manager The Configuration Manager is a software application used to adapt and customize the TotGuard system to the facility. It allows an administrator to define user groups, add, delete and modify users, and assign permission levels. During system commissioning and configuration it is also used to define detailed system operation at each door, and elevator, define floor plans, add custom sounds, and add event handling instructions to meet facility policies and
procedures. TotGuard Tags TotGuard protects infants by applying an active RFID tag to an asset or the infants upper arm or thigh with a specially designed band. Umbilical tags are also available which are incorporated in the application of the umbilical cord clamp immediately after birth. Each tag has a unique electronic serial number that is transmitted to a tag reader during certain events and conditions. All tags will transmit a low battery signal to indicate replacement is necessary. Tag Types and Features
TT1-BLF and TT2 BLF The TT1BLF and TT2BLF are Active RFID Tags with Tamper Detection and a locating beacon for use on newborn infants. The TT1BLF has a battery life of over 12 months, while the TT2BLF is the first Disposable Active RFID Tag in the industry. Both Tags have beacon capability, low battery indication, and contain a Low Frequency Receiver to enable it to detect signals from GuardRFIDs Tag Exciters. The Tags can be tracked and located in real time, and can be instantly detected at egress points that are equipped with Tag Exciters This enables GuardRFIDs TotGuard system to control doors so as to protect a tagged infant from leaving the perimeter. In addition, both Tags contain GuardRFIDs patented DualTamper technology, virtually eliminating false alarms. The Dual Tamper mechanism provides a warning in the event a Tag is being tampered with, and will create an alarm condition in the event the Tag is removed from the infant. A regular locating beacon signal is transmitted by each tag to enable the system to determine the location of the tag. The Tamper alarm and the locating beacon signal is received by an array of tag readers installed within the protected perimeter. The TT2BLF is similar to the TT1BLF however it is designed to be discarded after each use, eliminating the need for decontamination and disinfection of the Tag, and reducing the potential for cross infection between infants. Umbilical Tags The UT2BLF Umbilical Tag is a disposable Infant Security Tag that is designed to be mounted on an umbilical cord clamp. The UT2BLF has locating beacon capability, and also contains a Low Frequency Receiver to be able to detect signals from GuardRFIDs Tag Exciters. This combination enables the Tag to be tracked and located in real time, as well as allowing for instant detection of the Tag at egress points in order to enable Guard RFIDs system to control doors and protect a tagged infant from leaving the perimeter. The UT2BLF is designed to be discarded after use, eliminating the need for decontamination and disinfection of the Tag, and reducing the potential for cross infection between infants. The UT2BLF Umbilical Tag is applied immediately after the birth of an infant, at the time when an umbilical clamp is attached to the newborns umbilicus. This ensures that the newborn is protected immediately after birth.
Tag Exciters Each of the egress points are protected by Guard RFID Tag Exciters. The Tag Exciter transmits a low frequency exciter field to create a zone of protection 4 to 18 feet in diameter. The exciter field activates circuitry inside the tag allowing it to be detected at the doorway by the Tag Reader Controller. The Tag exciter is fully supervised, and monitored by an associated Tag Reader Controller. It sends out a beacon message at regular intervals to the TRC verifying its online status. Indicator LEDs on the unit indicate error and alarm conditions, exciter field presence and power / communication status. An internal 16 position rotary switch adjusts the size of the exciter field to accommodate various door sizes and applications. Tag Reader Controllers The Tag Reader Controller (TRC) is fully programmable and communicates with the TotGuard server in real time via standard TCP/IP over Ethernet or 802.11. The Ethernet connection communicates all tag messages, door status and supervisory signals from the keypads and tag exciters to the Argus Server. It is associated with Tag Exciter(s), keypad(s), and wired to a door contact to make up a complete door or gate system. The TRC will respond to a tag in the exciter field by controlling door locking hardware, sending alarm signals to the keypad and the Argus Server. If a bypass PIN code is entered into the keypad, or the tag is signed out through the TotGuard software, the tag will not initiate a warning or alarm and the bypass event will be recorded on the database. Bypass may also be achieved through an auxiliary input to allow external bypass validation through access control systems or other secure system. The bypass event will be recorded on the database, however the users identity cannot be determined through this bypass method. The TRC also provides a hardwire interface with other types of security equipment such as access control, video, or paging systems through its alarm and auxiliary relay contacts. It can also be programmed with the configuration manager to provide global event signaling via the output relays. The TRC communicates to the TotGuard Server via TCP/IP and requires an IP address. Depending on the network architecture this IP address may be assigned via DHCP or static IP. A wireless TRC communicating over a wireless 802.11 network is also available. Status LEDs on the TRC indicate network status, network data, and RF data communications.
Keypads Keypads are installed at each gate to provide an audible and visual local alarm, and to provide a means to bypass an infant or asset through the gate without locking the door or causing an alarm. Each user may be assigned a personal PIN number that is entered into the keypad to enable the user to bypass a tag through the doorway. The Keypads communicate wirelessly to the TRC and are fully supervised, transmitting a status message to the TRC.
Tag Readers The Tag Reader communicates with the TotGuard server in real time via standard TCP/IP over Ethernet or 802.11. The Ethernet connection communicates all tag messages to the Argus Server. Tag Readers are installed in an array within the perimeter of the protected area to receive the beacon signals and tamper messages from the tags. By placing Tag Reader Icons on a floor plan in the TotGuard software an accurate location of the tag is achieved through Receive Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) and triangulation from several tag readers. RSSI provides a more accurate and stable tag location than simple single receiver zone location or non RSSI location triangulation from multiple receivers. Elevator Systems Elevator systems may be installed in two different configurations, Bank Style or In Cab Style. Both elevator systems communicate to the Argus Server in real time via standard TCP/IP over Ethernet or 802.11. The In Cab Style requires either an 802.11 access point installed at the top of each elevator riser, or an Ethernet cable installed on the traveler cable. A bank style elevator has the advantage of cost savings, automatic floor discrimination, and relative ease of installation. One of the disadvantages of the bank style elevator is tags in the elevator lobby can cause nuisance alarms and hold the elevator car if the door is opened at that floor. The In-cab style elevator has the advantage of free movement of patients/assets near the elevator doors, but not floor discrimination. For in-cab systems, a secondary Tag Exciter may be installed on each level in the elevator lobby to provide floor discrimination. All elevators have inherent fire alarm overrides which will release control of the elevator and the elevator will perform in fire alarm mode as programmed by the elevator system.
Detailed System Operation

Perimeter Protection
Door System Operation The Tag Exciter, Tag Reader Controller and the Wireless keypad work in conjunction as a gate to provide perimeter detection by controlling tag egress. The Tag Exciter generates a low frequency RF exciter field with a range that is adjustable from 4 to 18 feet. The exciter field activates circuitry inside the tag allowing it to be detected at the doorway by the TRC The TRC controls various outputs and communicates with the signpost, keypad, and Argus server. The gate may operate door locks, monitor the door position, and is connected to the fire panel to unlock the door in case of emergency. The operation described below is the default operation and some parameters may be changed in the TotGuard Configuration manager. Please refer to the configuration manager operation manual for further information. Tag enters field, door closed, latched or unlatched mode When a tagged patient or asset enters the exciter field with the door closed, the tag sends a message to the TRC.The TRC warning relay fires, locking the door, a warning message is sent to the Keypad wirelessly, and to the TotGuard Console via Ethernet. The Keypad will emit a series of short beeps as a warning and the TotGuard console will display a warning alarm. When the tag is removed from the exciter field the event is cancelled, the TRC releases the warning relay, and clears the warning message on the keypad and the TotGuard Console. Tag enters field, door open, unlatched mode If a tag enters the exciter field with the door open, the TRC warning relay state does not change, leaving the door unlocked to allow pursuit. Instead, the alarm relay fires, an alarm message is sent to the keypad which will alarm, and the alarm is sent to the TotGuard Console via Ethernet. When the tag is removed from the exciter field the tag event is cancelled. The keypad alarm and the alarm relay will reset. However the event at the TotGuard console is will remain latched, requiring the alarm to be cleared at the console to acknowledge the alarm. The alarm may also be acknowledged at the keypad by entering in a valid PIN code. This also cancels the alarm at the TotGuard console. Tag enters field, door open, Latched Mode If the TRC is configured in latched mode (with the configuration manager software) the operation will be the same as in unlatched mode with the following exception. When the tag exits the field with the door open, the keypad alarm and the alarm relay will not reset. Both keypad and alarm relay will remain in the full breach alarm position until the alarm is cleared at the console or with a valid PIN code at the keypad. Bypass mode By entering in a valid PIN code into the keypad, the TRC enters into bypass mode. During bypass mode, tags may enter the field and pass through the doorway without creating a warning or alarm condition. Bypass may also be initiated by a dry relay contact input to the TRC from an access control or other system. A third option to bypass a tag is to use the TotGuard console to sign out the tag through a specified door for a pre determined period of time. Node Offline Alarm The Keypad transmits a status message, and the Tag Exciter send a beacon message at regular intervals to the TRC. The TRC relays these messages along with its own online status to the Argus Server. If the Argus Server does not receive these messages an offline alarm is displayed at the TotGuard console. The alarm will clear automatically once the devices are back online. This default operation can be changed in the configuration manager to a latched
operation which requires a username and password to acknowledge the alarm condition. If a node offline alarm is accepted while the node is still offline, the alarm will recur almost immediately. Door Ajar Alarm The Door Ajar Alarm will activate 60 seconds after a door has been held open and an alarm is displayed on the TotGuard Console. Once the door is closed the alarm will auto clear. This default operation and time can be changed in the configuration manager. Tag Loiter Alarm When a tag is in the exciter field for over 60 seconds, a tag loiter alarm is displayed at the TotGuard Console warning the staff that there is a tag near the door. The Tag Loiter alarm must be acknowledged by the staff. This default operation and time can be changed in the configuration manager Detailed Elevator System Operation Two main types of elevator configurations are possible when using the TotGuard Elevator controller. Elevator systems operate similar to door systems, however the tag alarm and bypass handling protocols differ slightly. Each of these configurations has advantages that will affect the choice of configuration depending on how the system is to be used. The first type of elevator system is called Bank Style where the TotGuard hardware is installed outside of the elevator car, and can cover more than one elevator car in a single location with a single elevator controller. The second type of system is the In-Cab elevator system that is mounted directly on the car and travels with the car to each floor. The Bank Style elevator system requires an elevator controller for each car. Both elevator controllers consists of a modified TRC mounted in a steel cabinet with its own power supply and elevator control isolation relay. Both systems monitor the door status and can send signals to the elevator control room to hold the elevator car. Bank Style The Bank style elevator has the TRC, the exciter antenna and the keypad installed just outside of the elevator car in the elevator lobby. If there are no tags present in the exciter field the elevator operates as normal. This type of elevator system communicates via Ethernet exactly the same as a TRC. Bank Style, Tag in Field, Door Closed When the elevator door is closed, the system does not report any alarms or warnings if a tag passes through the area. This is to prevent any nuisance alarms when the elevator car is not present. Bank Style, Tag Enters Field with Door Open When a tag enters the exciter field with the door open, the TRC immediately sends a signal to the elevator control room to hold the elevator via an elevator control relay inside the TotGuard Elevator Controller. A 12 second warning alarm occurs at the local keypad allowing time to enter a bypass PIN code before a full alarm. After 12 seconds, if no valid PIN code is entered into the keypad, the system will go into full alarm. The warning alarm is latching and must be reset either by entering a valid PIN code in the keypad (bypass) or by accepting the warning alarm at the TotGuard console. Bank Style, Bypass Mode When a valid PIN code is entered into the keypad the elevator control relay will release disengaging the hold on the elevator car. Tags that are currently in the exciter field and those that enter within 20 seconds will be bypassed. If a new tag enters the field after 20 seconds, the sequence begins again with a 12 second warning, holding the car until a valid bypass code is e-entered.
In Cab Style The In Cab Style elevator system has the hardware installed on the elevator car. Tags may pass through the elevator lobby freely without being detected, when the elevator door is opened the tag may be detected a few feet outside the elevator car. When the elevator doors are closed, the exciter field is disabled to prevent the system from detecting tags as it passes through floors. When the doors open the exciter field is turned on and the elevator system looks for tags in the field. In Cab Style, doors open, tag in field If tags enter the elevator car, the elevator control relay sends a signal to hold the elevator. A 12 second warning alarm occurs at the local keypad allowing time to enter a bypass PIN code before a full alarm. After 12 seconds if the tag remains in the car and no PIN Code has been entered the system will go into full alarm and the elevator will remain held until the tag leaves the elevator or the Bypass PIN code is entered. The In Cab elevator control relay resets automatically, releasing hold on the elevator after a tag has left the car. The keypad will also reset automatically however the alarm on the TotGuard console needs to be acknowledged. In Cab Style, Bypass Mode Upon entering the elevator with a tag, the 12 second warning occurs. Bypass is initiated by entering a valid PIN code on the keypad. Tags that are currently in the elevator and those that enter within 20 seconds will be bypassed. Tags that enter after 20 seconds will cause the alarm sequence to restart. Once the elevator has traveled to another floor and the doors open, any tags that were previously bypassed will remain in bypass until they exit the car. Neew tags entering the elevator at another floor will restart the alarm sequence. Floor Discrimination with In Cab Style Tag exciters may be installed outside the car in the elevator lobby on each floor to verify the tags entrance/exit from the elevator car and indicate its presence/departure on that floor.
Tag Reader Operation

TotGuard also provides location tracking and tamper sensing within the protected perimeter by covering the area with an array of tag readers to receive tag beacon signals and tamper alarms. Certain tags send out recurring beacon messages for location tracking to provide a real time location. The beacon messages can also provide a secondary supervisory function. If beacon messages are not heard by the tag readers in a preset period of time a tag missing alarm may be generated at the TotGuard console. The time between missed beacon messages can be configured in the software to when configured to alarm on missed beacon events. Some tags also send out a tamper message when removed from a patient or asset which can be displayed as an alarm at the TotGuard Console. Tag reader placement and spacing determines the resolution of tag location when displayed on the floor plan. Tag readers that are installed closer together will display tag location accuracy much higher than those spaced further apart. In high risk areas tag reader spacing is recommended at 30 foot intervals, covering 900 square feet each to provide sufficient coverage to receive beacon and tamper messages reliably. Tag readers may also be installed anywhere from 30 up to 60 feet apart, however tag beacons and tamper messages are more likely to be missed with wider spaced readers. Systems with readers spacing further than 30 feet provide an accurate real time tag location and tag movement. Tag location is based on the last beacon message. Beacon messages are stored on the database so missed beacon messages are not important. A tag that on an asset that is being relocated will be seen by the nearby tag reader(s) indicating location. Tags that come to rest will be close to the last position where seen by a tag reader. Note that these systems do will not provide sufficient coverage to receive tag beacons or tamper messages reliably as the tag may come to rest in a zone that is not covered by a tag reader.

Installation
The following sections show standard installation options, however there are many different types of doors and types of egress which vary in their configuration and usage. This manual does not attempt to cover all circumstances, however the operation of the components are explained in detail to provide you with enough information to allow you to adapt to other situations. POE and Central Power Supply There are two main system configurations available. Section 1 covers a traditional 12VDC power supply from a local source, or a central power supply. If your system is configured for POE, no traditional power supplies are used and the associated wiring in section 1 is not required. Section 2 covers POE configuration which relies on a specialized Power over Ethernet (POE) network switch to provide power over the Cat 5 or Cat6 cables. The POE switch is designed to supply the power to the TRC, keypads, tag exciter, and tag readers through the network cabling using a 48VDC source. The POE system uses an integrated device to split the Ethernet signal from the DC supply, and convert the 48VDC primary voltage to 12VDC operating voltage. If your system is configured for traditional power supplies the wiring in section 2 is not required. Due to the 48VDC primary supply voltage in the POE system do not attempt to connect any device to the POE supply directly. Always use an approved POE Splitter. Section 3 covers all aspects of the installation that are independent from the type of power supply used and apply to all TotGuard system configurations.
General Cabling Considerations

Cabling and connectors are an important part of the integrity of any installation. The system is as dependent on the cabling infrastructure as it is on the components. When installing the cable and connectors a considerable amount of care must be taken in order to ensure reliability is maintained over the life of the system. Time invested in the cabling pulling and termination will pay dividends on system power up. Wiring faults consume large amounts of troubleshooting time and resources and avoiding wiring faults will ultimately provide a faster installation and years of trouble free system operation. Cable selection and maximum lengths are outlined in the table below. Do not exceed cable lengths, or substitute cable of different sizes or characteristics as this will cause problems in system operation and may even create a fire hazard. When pulling the cable, care must be taken not to overstress the cable by twisting or pulling/stretching. Be aware of sharp edges and corners when you are pulling and fastening the cable as these may damage the jacket or the conductors itself and cause problems that may not be outwardly apparent. Tie cables at regular intervals to a solid structure or provide other means of attachment to the building such as J hooks or cable trays. Labeling of cables is important as there will be a large number of cables terminating at a single location. Record the label designations on the drawings as they are being installed. Labeling speeds up the initial installation and future troubleshooting. Terminating the cable also requires care. Remember, a poor mechanical connection is also a poor electrical connection. Use strain relief on all cables to prevent stress or breaking of the termination in case the cable is inadvertently pulled or moved by other contractors. When preparing cable ends, ensure you do not nick or cut into solid conductors, or cut off strands of stranded cable as this will cause a weak point and the cable may break or cause an intermittent fault in the future. When landing
cable on a terminal block, ensure all strands are secured and none are loose which may cause shorts. If a connector is used, take the time to prepare the cable properly as recommended by the connector manufacturer. Use only the recommended crimping tools or punch block tools to prevent mechanical/electrical problems with the connector. After terminating any cable apply some stress to the connector to ensure it will not break. Once all of the cables have been installed cable testing must be completed to verify that there are no basic wiring faults - shorts, opens or mis-wired connectors in the installation. Network cable testing is recommended. There are many network cable testing tools available on the market today ranging from simple continuity and pin configuration testing to network certification testing. Continuity and pin configuration testing will only ensure that the connectors are installed correctly. Network Certification testing will ensure network speeds and bandwidth are obtained, and signal/noise rations are within tolerances of network requirements.

When choosing cable types, ensure that you adhere to local and national codes and the codes set forth by the AHJ for cable fire ratings for general areas, plenum air spaces, and risers between floors. The NFPA provides recommendations on a national basis in the USA, and the CSAs Canadian Electrical Code in Canada. For other regions refer to your AHJ for guidance.
Section 1 Central Power Supply System Cable Infrastructure

TotGuard uses a 10A 12VDC central power supply with a battery backup to power the Tag Readers, Tag Exciters, Keypads, and Maglocks. In some cases a DC adapter may be used to power an individual component, DC adapters are not recommended however as they do not typically have a battery backup. It is recommended that the power supplies be connected to the emergency power system in order to maintain system functionality in case of power outages that may exceed the battery capacity. The power supply is rated at 12VDC 10A with 5 separately fused, 2A outputs. They are typically mounted in an electrical room in close proximity to the devices it feeds. In larger systems the power supplies may require more than one location to meet cable length requirements. The wiring scheme outlined in the figure below utilizes the power supply to 80% of its rated load capacity. It is not recommended to exceed 80% of the load capacity in case of power transients in the load, or input voltage fluctuations. Cable runs also utilize 80% or less of their current carrying capacity and the maximum cable length in the cable recommendations table, in conjunction with the load for each circuit as depicted in the diagram should not be exceeded to avoid excessive voltage drop.
Power supply wiring shown in this document is compatible only with 12VDC power supplies that provide a minimum of 2 Amps continuous current at each of the outputs.

Network Cabling for Central Power Supply Systems

Network cabling for systems on a central power supply uses standard non POE network switches. Networked devices include the TRCs, the tag readers, the server and workstations. Each of these devices requires a cat5e/cat 6 cable home run to the central network switch. The cables are terminated with RJ45 connectors, using straight through Ethernet connections. Both ends of the cable are wired as below.
Keypads and tag exciters communicate wirelessly to the TRC through a separate UHF channel and receive their power from the central power supply. No network cabling is necessary to run to these devices in a centrally powered system.

Section 2 Power over Ethernet System Cable Infrastructure

Power over Ethernet (POE) systems utilizes special network switches that have a separate internal power supply providing voltage to each of the Ethernet connections. The power is transferred over the unused conductors of the cat 5e or cat 6 Ethernet cable. The connectors used are standard RJ45 connectors and require no special wiring changes from the standard RJ45 Ethernet pin designations. The voltage from the Ethernet switch is 48VDC and must be converted to a 12VDC voltage at the device end of the Ethernet cable with a POE splitter. The splitter will separate the data from the 48VDC from the POE switch and convert the 48VDC to 12VDC necessary to power the tag readers, TRC, signpost, keypad, and maglocks. Connecting the DC voltage from the POE switch directly to the TotGuard device will permanently damage the components and void your warranty. Only use an approved POE splitter from Guard RFID.
Only install the POE splitter at the device (tag reader, TRC, signpost, keypad or maglock). Do not exceed 25 feet of cable between the POE Splitter and tag reader, TRC, Signpost, keypad, or maglock.
POE 12VDC Wiring

The POE system does not use any external power sources to supply voltage to the components. Tag exciters, keypads, maglocks, tag readers, and Tag Reader Controllers all receive power from the network POE switches.

POE Network Cabling TotGuard communicates via standard LAN infrastructure using standard network components. The Argus server and the workstations form the TotGuard network with the Tag Reader Controllers and the tag readers. This network can be configured in a number of ways, and the installation of the physical layer and network hardware components is exactly the same as building any other modern computer network. The installation of the TotGuard network is governed by the same rules as any other Ethernet network. Network cabling differs slightly with POE vs central power supply systems. The Central power supply system uses traditional Ethernet and infrastructure is only necessary to reach network nodes, i.e. Tag readers and TRCs. Note also that the tag exciters, maglocks and keypads are not network nodes but are powered by the POE network switch via cat5e/cat6 cable and will utilize a port on the switch. These devices do not utilize the data portion of the POE splitter. In many facilities the Information Services department puts strict regulations on modifications or additions to their network infrastructure. Contact the information services department in the facility prior to making any changes or additions.

Connecting the Tag Reader Controllers

Doors can be configured in a number of various ways depending on the purpose of the door and its intended role in the TotGuard perimeter, locking hardware, the proximity to patient rooms and nurseries. This sections purpose is to outline the general operation of the Tag Reader Controller and the installer must determine the best wiring configuration to operate the door to provide security and also operate within the governing building codes. Please check with your local and national codes and AHJ before installing locking hardware or modifying any door locking mechanism.
TRC Connections and Indicator lights

The TRC accepts RF signals from the tag and interfaces between the TotGuard System and the door. The TRC is configured in the software for door, bank elevator, or traveling elevator system. Each TRC is normally linked to a Tag Exciter, and one or 2 keypads on either side of the door to provide a complete door system. TRC configuration instructions are covered in the software manual. This section describes various installation configurations and are representative of most applications. Your application may differ slightly from these diagrams.

Keypad LED operation In addition to the keypad response outlined in the table above, you may use the keypad LEDs to troubleshoot communication problems with the TRC. Red LED will blink shortly every time when a message is sent to Tag Reader. This includes Keypad Beacon messages or any other message (e.g. key presses followed by # key) Yellow LED blinks shortly when Keypad receives a message from Tag Reader which is associated to it. Note that yellow LED will not blink if Keypad receives the message from Tag Reader(s) to which it is not associated. When Keypad receives Beacon Acknowledgement from the Tag Reader, green LED stops blinking and becomes solid ON. It will stay solid as long as the Keypad is receiving Acknowledgements to its Beacons which are sent to the associated Tag Reader every 30 seconds. If Acknowledgements are not received, green LED starts blinking again TRC Operation The TRC can be configured in three modes of operation, standard door, bank elevator, or traveling elevator systems. Each of these three operational modes are covered below. A standard door may be wired in several ways. This documents purpose is to outline the operation of the Tag Reader Controller and the installer must determine the best wiring configuration to operate the door to provide security and also operate within the governing building codes. Elevator systems must be installed by licensed elevator technician.

Elevator Systems
Two main types of elevator configurations are possible when using the TotGuard Elevator controller. Each of these configurations has advantages that will affect the choice of configuration depending on how the system is to be used. The first type of elevator system is called Bank Style where the TotGuard hardware is installed outside of the elevator car, and can cover more than one elevator car in a single location. The second type of system is the individual Style elevator system that is mounted directly on the car and travels with the car to each floor. Both elevator controllers consists of a modified TRC mounted in a steel cabinet with its own power supply and elevator control isolation relay. Do not replace the Elevator Reader Controller (ERC) inside the steel enclosure with a standard TRC. They operate quite differently and are not interchangeable.
Elevator systems communicate to the Argus server via Ethernet through the traveler cable, or via 802.11 wireless. Up to now there is no Ethernet cable available in an elevator traveler cable so Guard RFID recommends the use of 802.11 wireless communications from the top of the elevator riser to the elevator cab. Bank Style Installation The bank style elevator system is installed in a similar fashion to a door system. The TRC and tag exciter is installed in the elevator lobby, along with an additional isolation relay. The door contact input of the ERC is fed from a door position switch that monitors the outer door of the elevator. However in an elevator system, when the door is closed, the tag exciter is turned off in order to minimize warning signals from tags in the field. When the elevator doors open, the tag exciter is turned on. When the door is open and a tag enters the exciter field, the ERC will send back a warning to the TotGuard system, indicating there is a tag in the elevator lobby and the associated keypad will announce a warning signal.
Bank Style Components Tag Reader Controller
Elevator Isolation Relay
Tag Exciter
Installing the components 1. Mount the TRC within 10 feet of the elevator bank on the floor to be covered. 2. Mount the elevator isolation relay near the TRC 3. Mount the tag exciter directly above the centre of the elevator bank as close to the elevators as possible, or on the wall beside/between the elevators. 4. Mount the keypad beside the elevator for convenient access 5. Connect the door switch input on the TRC to a N/O door switch monitoring the outer elevator door (door closed, switch closed, door open, switch open) Bank Style Wiring 1. 2.

The TRC is mounted inside a cabinet with the elevator isolation relay. The cabinet is powered by a 110VAC circuit. The power draw from the 110VAC is 2A. The Elevator cabinet is mounted on the roof of the car. The UHF antenna is extended with a coax cable and mounted inside the elevator cab. The Exciter antenna and keypad are powered by the internal 12VDC power within the elevator cabinet. Communication to the Argus server is via an 802.11 wireless link to an 802.11 access point mounted at the top of the elevator shaft. Installing the In Cab Elevator 1. Mount the Elevator cabinet on top of the elevator cab with the 802.11 antenna unobstructed 2. Mount the Exciter antenna inside the elevator cab, the preferred location is halfway between the front and back of the cab either inside a NON METALLIC ceiling panel, or on a side wall 3. Mount the keypad in a convenient location inside the elevator cab 4. Mount the UHF antenna inside the elevator cab 5. Mount the 802.11 wireless access point at the top of the elevator shaft with the antenna unobstructed. 6. Ensure there is a clear line of sight between the wireless access point and the elevator cabinet Wiring the In-Cab Elevator 1. Run an 18-2 cable from the elevator cabinet to the Tag Exciter 2. Run an 18-2 cable from the elevator cabinet to the Keypad 3. Run the supplied 15 foot coax cable from the UHF connector on the elevator cabinet to the UHF antenna mounted inside the cab 4. The Elevator cabinet must be hard wired to a proper 110VAC supply with an approved conduit 5. Run an Ethernet cable from the Network switch to the Wireless Access Point 6.
