Detailed Installation Procedures
This section provides the details for each step listed above.
Step 1: Position the Speedway/R reader
Choose the appropriate location for the reader. Generally speaking, you should always
keep the unit away from direct sunlight, high humidity, extreme temperatures, vibration,
and sources of electromagnetic interference. Any combination of these conditions may
degrade performance or shorten the life of the unit. Also, if you plan to power the reader
using an external power supply, confirm that there is a standard 120 or 220 VAC outlet
nearby. To minimize power loss, it is best to position the reader within 100 meters of its
power source. To learn more about choosing the appropriate location for maximizing the
performance and efficiency of your reader, see the Impinj System Design Guide.
Mounting the Reader
Depending on your environment, you may need to mount the reader to a wall or another object.
To mount the Speedway/R reader:
1. Locate the four mounting slots on the reader, as illustrated below:
2. Using 1/4" - 20 or M6 screws, secure the unit. You can mount the reader horizontally
or vertically.
Caution:
If there is any chance of dust or water exposure, you should mount the reader so that digi-
tal I/O ports are facing down to prevent ingress.
