Activation Field Size
The Tag activation area can be controlled by adjusting the size of
the activation field. For example, you may want to shrink the
activation field to concentrate the field near a doorway,
preventing activation of tags further up the hall.
NOTE Each Activator is shipped from the factory with its activation
control adjusted to its highest level.
Adjusting the Field
The size of the activation field is controlled by the TX CNTL screw
on the back of the Activator (Figure 10). The screw can turn in
one direction 30 times. After it has been turned 30 times in one
direction, it will make a soft clicking sound. The clicks indicate
that continuing in this direction will no longer have an effect on
the field’s size. When you hear this sound, the wake-up field has
been adjusted to one extreme or the other.

To Reduce the Activation Field
Rotate the TX CTRL screw clockwise with the supplied tuning
wand. Constantly check the field with an LED Test Tag to ensure
that the field is the size that you want.
TIP The system will stop functioning if the activation control is turned
down too low. To fix this, turn the screw counter-clockwise until it clicks.
Then slowly reduce the field by tuning the TX CNTL screw clockwise
while checking its size.
To Enlarge the Activation Field
Rotate the TX CTRL screw counter-clockwise with the supplied
tuning wand. When it clicks, it has been tuned up as high as
possible.
After Adjusting the Field
Cycle the power on the Activator after the field has been adjusted.
