References to IDX-9000 apply to all versions, except where the version is explicitly identified. This device received all regulatory approvals under the name Sensormatic Electronics. Vue Technology is the RFID business unit of Sensormatic Electronics. LED Definitions See the top view illustration below for the LED positions on the IDX-9000. LED State Description Error Off Flashing No known error conditions. Flashes when the power on cycle is initiated. If flashing after initial power on cycle, the unit has detected errors during self- test. If errors are detected, contact Technical Support. RF On Off RF transmitter is turned on and transmitting. No RF output. Tag On Off Valid tag(s) are found and being read. Tags are not currently being read. Power On Off Flashing Power is on and unit is ready. No power to the unit. Unit is powering on. All LEDs are off when the power is not connected. All LEDs will be on briefly and cycle their display when the power is reset. The Green, Yellow1, and Yellow2 LEDs will cycle when in a downloading state. Mounting Position the IDX-9000 on the wall or shelf, ensuring a minimum clearance of five inches on all sides. Mark the hole locations using the mounting tabs as a guide. The distance between mounting holes across the width of the connector panels is 200 mm. The distance between mounting holes across the length of the unit is 226 mm. Remove the IDX-9000 and drill four mounting holes at the marked locations. Reposition the IDX-9000 over the mounting holes and secure using fasteners appropriate for its 3.5- pound weight, the mounting surface, and any other conditions present, such as vibration. 226 mm 200 mm Power Tag RF Error Physical Connections The physical connections to the IDX-9000 device are shown in the graphics below RF Side Ports Digital Side Ports RF Side Port Description EXT RF A External RF Port A (Reverse SMA) EXT RF B External RF Port B (Reverse SMA) RF Outputs 1-16 Monostatic RF Output Ports (MCX) Digital Side Port Description Power BUS 1-3 Power supply port.
