Installation Guidelines
• Do not recess the BIS M-411 in metal and allow 60 mm (2.5 inches) clearance from metallic
objects around the sides of the BIS M-411.
• Avoid mounting the RFID controller near sources of EMI (electro-magnetic interference) or near
devices that generate high ESD (electro-static discharge) levels.
• If electrical interference is encountered (as indicated by a significant reduction in read/write
performance), relocate the controller to an area free from potential sources of interference.
• Route cables away from motors, solenoids, unshielded cables and any wiring that carries high
voltage or high current.
• When installing multiple RFID controllers that operate at the same frequency (13.56 MHz), maintain
a minimum distance of 20 cm (8 inches) between adjacent RF devices.
The controller obtains power directly from the USB bus and requires 500 mA.

For complete operating instructions for the RFID Controller refer to the:
BIS M-411-Series RFID Controllers - Operator’s Manual
Also available online are HF Dashboard™ and C-MacroBuilder™ software utilities.
The HF Dashboard is a Windows-based application that provides users with the ability to control,
configure and test their RFID hardware.
C-MacroBuilder is an easy to use GUI-driven utility for Windows. This software utility allows users
to build their own macro programs (which are stored internally on and executed directly by RFID
Controllers).
When C-MacroBuilder is used in conjunction with the HF Dashboard Utility, users have the ability
to design, save and execute custom macros from any supported RFID controller without the
need of a host computer to issue routine commands.
