Encompass 4 Reader System Guide

TransCore Proprietary.

8. Mount the Encompass 4 Reader to the pole-mount bracket using Allen screws, as shown in

Figure 39

9. Adjust the assembly by pointing the Encompass 4 Reader to the middle of the area where tags will be

read and tighten all screws and straps slightly.

Note:

Adjust the Encompass 4 Reader to provide the most direct line of sight to the tags.

Caution

To ensure reliable reader operation, TransCore strongly advises that you follow the National

Electric Code for lightning protection for the locale where you are installing the Encompass 4
Reader.

After mounting the Encompass 4 Reader, you must connect it to a dedicated 16 to 20V AC or

16 to 28V DC power supply.

To avoid damage to the Encompass 4 Reader, you must connect the antenna before applying

power to the reader.
