Mounting Instruction
2.2.1 General
Mount the reader in a horizontal position with the cable glands on the bottom side. Direct the reader so that
the reading lobe covers the positions of the tags. For optimal performance, tilt and rotate the reader into a
position so that the front side of the reader is parallel with the front side of the tag to be read. Align the reader
so that the actual reading range is 60–70% of the specified maximum.
Figure 1 shows a typical reader installation.

The UMK (Universal Mounting Kit, Part No. 193600), see Figure 2, from TagMaster enables the reader to be
mounted in a wide variety of positions and angles. The kit contains all parts needed for mounting the reader
on a wall or on a pole. The UMK is designed and suitable for outdoor use. See separate data sheet for more
details on installation [1].
