Installation 

 

4.1

 

General Instructions 

 

When mounting several nearby adhere to the minimum distances between 
them. 

 

Installing a device in or on 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  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 with a frequency of 125 kHz. 
To avoid interference of the data communication no other devices generating 

interference  emission  in  this  frequency  band  must  be  operated  in  its  vicinity. 
Such devices are for example frequency converters and switched-mode power 
supplies.
