  • Page 10: Sr35I Segment Controller

    Bewator Entro software Software installed in the PC is used for configuring both the database in the SR35i and the wireless network. Note that the access control system operates independently while the PC is shut down. Siemens AB Security Products 03.2014...
  • Page 11: System Limits

    Up to six routers can communicate directly with each SR35i  Every RF9 router can communicate with up to six more routers and with up to  14 door units. Up to four RF9 routers may form a chain between SR35i and RF30-EM  Siemens AB Security Products 03.2014...
  • Page 12: Wireless Network - Important Concept

    Up to four RF9 routers can form a communication chain between a SR35i and an RF30-EM. Thus a message from the segment controller is allowed to “jump” a maximum of five times before reaching a door unit. Siemens AB Security Products 03.2014...
  • Page 13: Signal Strength

    SR35i and RF30-EM via a RF9 router If a RF9 router is added the signal is significantly improved. Service Mode Signal strength Excellent Excellent Excellent Excellent Sufficient 25 m (free air) Fig. 3 Example of a SR35i with a RF9 router. Siemens AB Security Products 03.2014...
  • Page 14: Quality Of Communication

    RF30-EM has an integrated Service Mode that makes the installation easier. LEDs indicate the signal strength and quality. Most problems can be solved by adding RF9 routers to the system as described in the RF9 configuration manual. Siemens AB Security Products 03.2014...

    Frequency analyzers (sniffers) Third party products are available i e frequency analyzers, sniffers, enabling a PC to be used as a simple tool to scan for activity on the same or adjacent actual net- work frequency band(s). Siemens AB Security Products 03.2014...
  • Page 16: Door Environments

    RF30-EM (or other product on the Codoor family). The mechanical design does not allow this. Instead use hard-wired solutions like the door controller DC12 and two proximity readers. Bad signal quality If adjacent equipment interferes severely, a hard-wired solution must be consid- ered. Siemens AB Security Products 03.2014...
  • Page 17: Placing The Sr35I

    RF9 routers can act as backup for each other. Also consider the risk for a signal to be sent via windows (outdoor in corners) which may degrade the signal when raining because water influences the signal negative. Siemens AB Security Products 03.2014...
  • Page 18: Signal Propagation

    The propagation is also less inside of a door because the unit propagates less at the back. Fig. 6 Overview. (The plant is there only for showing the perspective view) Siemens AB Security Products 03.2014...

    It is better to place the RF9 on an opposite wall (in this case). 1. RF9 – on the opposite wall 2. Door unit reached by the signal Note that often the contact can be established by reflections which is explained in chapter 4.7 Material characteristics. Siemens AB Security Products 03.2014...

  • Page 25: Example 1 - Fully Equipped Segment

    SR35i must be completed with at least one more RF9. The example shows, to the right, how the three routers and the eighteen doors must be configured after router 1-6. Fig. 11 Example 1 – Maximum units for an SR35i Siemens AB Security Products 03.2014...

    While verifying communication over the network, status changes displayed by this program can be useful. The program can preferably be used for displaying complementary status infor- mation when verifying the overall communication. Siemens AB Security Products 03.2014...
  • Page 28: Installation

    If a new site is to include both hard-wired and wireless doors, it is preferable to plan, install and verify the hard-wired doors first. An SR35i intended to provide any wireless control must be positioned for the strongest possible signal strength. This over-rides wiring considerations. Siemens AB Security Products 03.2014...
  • Page 29: Configure The Sr35I

    Press 1 to show installation information (SHOW INSTALL INFO) Read off the Segment ID and the Installation key. Make a note of these for later use. Repeat the above for each SR35i that will control any wireless doors. Mount the SR35i. Siemens AB Security Products 03.2014...

    (e g at power failure). Obviously the command cannot be performed on a broken SR35i, but after approx- imately 60 minutes other units will anyway find the new SR35i. Siemens AB Security Products 03.2014...
  • Page 31: Configuration Of Rf30-Em

    Configure the RF30-EM as described in its Configuration manual. Control the signal strength between the SR35i and the RF30-EM using the Service Mode in the RF30-EM. Then, if necessary, carry on with the section 8.6 Adding RF9 to improve the communication Siemens AB Security Products 03.2014...
  • Page 32: Adding Rf9 To Improve The Communication

    Final commissioning of the site Regardless of the order in which the doors have been configured, verification should be sure to check each door using the PC program. This applies especially to the wireless components. Siemens AB Security Products 03.2014...
  • Page 33: Important Information About Bewator Entro

    NOTE Events at a door can only be recorded for display while the RF30-EM is connected via the wireless network to the SR35i (and not in autonomous mode).. Siemens AB Security Products 03.2014...

    Click on Finish. A progress bar is displayed for each controller showing the remaining time (which can be long) Note that during the phase of downloading the RF30-EM will operate normally – but while accomplishing the update it will not (when all LEDs are flashing slowly). Siemens AB Security Products 03.2014...
  • Page 39: Upgrading

    Remember that a maximum of nine RF9 routers can exist in the same segment, i.e. with the same Segment ID. Further a maximum of four RF9 routers may form a chain between an SR35i and a door, i.e. the messages can only “jump” five times. Siemens AB Security Products 03.2014...
  • Page 40: Remove, Move Or Replace Wireless Units

    If e g a SR35i or RF9 are replaced or some RF9 or RF30-EM is moved some commands must be performed in the SR35i both before and afterwards. Read more in section 8.4.3 Further settings in the SR35i. Siemens AB Security Products 03.2014...
  • Page 41: Appendix A - Considerations For Rf Communications

    It may be possible that the building con- struction prohibits the use of wireless communications, or causes extra steps to be taken or hardware to be installed. The right network layout minimizes the effect of any obstructions. Siemens AB Security Products 03.2014...
