WARNING
Use of any Auxiliary Reader cable which combines all conductors
inside one shield and/or uses twisted pair for the antenna lines will
result in severely reduced reading distance. Failure to properly ground
the cable shield for the LED/Beeper lines will also result in severely
reduced reading distance.
Note: When power is applied to the RK600e, the unit is calibrated
for the current antenna configuration. Always connect
the Auxiliary Reader first, before applying power to the
RK600e.
Surface-Mounted Wiring
For installations where it is necessary to run cable along the wall surface
(such as in a wall-mounted modular raceway) small break-away knockouts
are provided on the bottom of the RK600e and Auxiliary Reader housings,
as well as on the Spacer. Remove the knockouts with small pliers, and butt
the raceway up against the opening in the housing to conceal the cable.
Power
The RK600e can be powered by the optional RK-PS 12VDC power supply,
which is rated for powering the RK600e only. Alternatively, use any good
9-14 VDC supply which provides at least 150mA. DC power should be
clean and filtered with no more than 1 VAC ripple (Peak to Peak). Do not
run AC power in the same cable with DC power to the reader.
RK600e also has protection against accidental polarity reversal or use of
low voltage AC.
WARNING
RK600e will not operate on AC Voltage or with DC polarity reversed.
