Installation
This section provides details on the installation of the
BLUEBOX
.
4.1
General Instructions
•
Several devices installed next to each other interfere if they are not
correctly configured.
•
When mounting several nearby devices adhere to the minimum distances
between them.
•
Flush mounting of a device head in metal reduces the read and write
distance.
•
Keep the device away from direct sunlight, high humidity, extreme
temperatures, and sources of electromagnetic interference. Any
combination of these conditions might degrade performance or shorten
the life of the device.
•
Connect the device using a suitable cable as defined in electrical
connections section.
•
Power the device using a suitable external power supply as defined in
electrical connections section. The boot sequence begins in either case
when power is supplied to the device. This sequence typically completes
within 5 seconds. After the boot sequence finishes, the device accepts
commands, not before. The LED on the device alerts you to the status as
defined in status indications section.
4.2
Notes on Tag Mounting
•
For installation in and on metal tags provided for this purpose must be
used.
•
The tag must be placed in the reading area of the device antenna. The
angle of aperture and the operating distance must be adhered to.
•
The orientation of the device antenna axis must correspond with the axis
of the tag for best performance.
4.3
Avoiding Interference
The device generates a modulated electrical field the UHF band 865
–
868 MHz.
To avoid interference of the data communication no other devices generating
interference emission in this frequency band must be operated in the vicinity.
