the reader detects and reads the transponder. Optional firmware allows the user to select read repetition rates
of about 3 per second, 1 per second, or 1 per 3 seconds.

Installation
1.
Locate the reader at the desired mounting position on a mounting post or a mounting surface. For
mounting on a flat surface, drill four small holes through the aluminum plate behind the reader housing
for mounting screws, and one clearance hole for the reader cable. For flexible mounting, use a video
camera adjustable mount or clamps. The installer determines the size of the mounting holes and the
clearance hole. Consider the following:
•
Metal plate: The reader is equipped with an aluminum plate attached on the back surface, which
provides a flange that may be used as desired to install the reader. The flange may be drilled for
screw holes, or may be clamped to an adjustable bracket. Do not remove this plate.
•
Reader orientation: The reader may be mounted in any orientation – at any angle.
•
Mounting material: The surface or the device that supports the reader may be any material,
including metal.
•
Environment: There must be no material between the reader and the tag (except for the windshield
glass when using the WS tag). Avoid strong RF fields, such as nearby radio transmitters. Avoid
HVAC motors with improper shielding.
•
Multiple readers: Maintain at least 12-foot spacing between adjacent readers. Aim the readers so
that the fields from adjacent readers are parallel (not overlapping within the read range). This will
prevent a given tag from being detected by two readers simultaneously.
•
Mapping a reader's field: The field in which a long-range tag can be detected is a circular oval
emitted from the front of the reader. The oval's apex is at the center of the reader. Maximum read
range occurs close to the axis of the cone.
