Ten Common Mistakes
1. We put this on the last page.
2. Not Reading the manual or understanding RF before installing.
3. Not using shielded cable or omitting ferrite chokes on retrofit as required.
4. Grounding the shields incorrectly. A properly grounded shield is one where the
drain wire is spliced through and insulated from other conductors and electrical
and earth ground at all locations EXCEPT at the PC. This is called single point
grounding. If not followed, the shield works against you, inducing noise.
5. Hooking up eight wires: Reader 1 wires differently than readers
2-10, However ONLY four wires are connected to each RJ45 Connector and
Reader Jack, regardless of reader number. Do NOT hook up eight wires.
6. Installing readers too close to locations where tags are most present.
7. Setting Reader Timeouts too low
8. Setting Tag Timeouts too low for motor vehicles.
9. Placing T800 Tags, which are designed to be mounted ON metal objects
IN metal objects such as glove compartments.
10. Using A Power Supply other than the SPS1212 Power Supply.
