VOLTAGE DROP AND MAX DISTRIBUTED CURRENT CALCULATIONS 

 
For correct network management, the maximum number of readers which can 
propagate power through the QLs must be calculated so that max distributed current is 
not exceeded and so voltage drop doesn't affect reader functioning. This is done 
according to the following formula: 
 
Voltage Drop =  (Max Reader Current x Number of readers) x  

(Resistance per Meter per wire* x Cable length in Meters) 

 
* the resistance calculation must include both wires (Vdc and GND). 
 

Example: 

An ID-NET™ network is composed of 4 DS2100N readers. Three 2 meter ThinNet 
cables are used to connect the readers, which have Cable Resistance = 0.058 Ohms 
per meter per wire. The network power is 24 Vdc. 

(0.2083 A x 4 readers) x [(0.058 x 2) x 6 meters] = 0.58 Vdc voltage drop 

24 Vdc - 0.58 = 23.42 Vdc at reader number 4 (worst case) 

 
Integrate a sufficient number of QL200s to resupply network power.

TRIGGER 

 
In order to allow direct trigger cabling between the photocell and the QL300/500 using standard M12 A-
coded one-to-one cables, the trigger signal has been internally wired to manage PNP type photocells. The 
external trigger therefore 

must be connected as shown in the diagram below

COMPLIANCE 

 

FCC Compliance 

Modifications or changes to this equipment without the expressed written approval of Datalogic could void the authority to 
use the equipment. 

This device complies with PART 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device 
may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference 
which may cause undesired operation. 

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the 
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is 
operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not 
installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. 
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be 
required to correct the interference at his own expense. 

 

CE Compliance 
Warning: 

This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may 
be required to take adequate measures. 

 

Power Supply 
This product is intended to be installed by Qualified Personnel only. 

This accessory device is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed or CSA Certified Power Unit with «Class 2» or LPS power 
source.
