HARDWARE INSTALLATION

Make sure that a sample identification card has been sent to Static Solutions for proper programming of reader.

Read the manual, help files, and other files on the C:\EsdTest directory.

If user will not be using the software function of the CT-8900 meter, disregard the software instructions in this manual.

Install the meter in view of the computer monitor, so employees that are testing can view the test results.

For HID/CASI-RUSCO/Indala/Motorola proximity card RS232 readers, two nine pin serial ports (or one if using an RS232 to

USB converter for the card reader) are required on your computer. One for the CT-8900 meter and one for the HID/CASI-

RUSCO proximity reader. The supplied RS-232 cords must be used. If there is a 25 pin DB25P on the computer, a DB25P to

DB9P serial port adapter can be purchased from an electronic store like Radio Shack. A USB to serial adapter for the card

reader may be purchased from Static Solutions.

For USB compatible proximity card readers, at least one USB port is required on your computer for the reader, and one nine pin

serial port (or another USB port if using a fully compliant +/-12V RS232 to USB converter) for the CT-8900 meter.

Fasten the foot stand to the footplate. Place the foot stand on top of the footplate. Insert the small Allen head bolts through the

holes in the circular plate on the bottom of the stand. Position these bolts into the T nuts located in the bottom of the footplate

using the enclosed Allen head wrench. Tighten with Allen head wrench. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.

Position the HID/CASI-RUSCO reader (if purchased) on the right side or top of the top of the foot stand, where indicated by

label. Place the RS-232 wire attached to the back of the HID reader down through the rectangle hole. Then attach the CT-8900

meter on the left side on top of the foot stand, where indicated by label. Place the meter so the top of the meter is flush with the

top of the foot stand and is touching the HID reader on the right side. With the non-proximity stand (Bar Code or Magnetic

stripe) position the meter so that the RS-232 plug does NOT protrude from the bottom and cause interference with the person

being tested. Place the bar code or mag stripe reader on TOP of the stand.

Attach the two-plug power supply cord (see Illustration 1 – A) to both the CT-8900 meter and to the HID/CASI-RUSCO reader

(if purchased). If a USB reader is used, a power supply for the reader is not required. The male plug is attached to back of the

HID reader, through the small round hole besides the reader. The female plug is attached to the CT-8900 meter up through

the hole of the stand into the front of the meter. Attach the RS-232 loose cable (see Illustration 1 - B) to the front of the CT-8900

meter. Use hook/loop strips and attach the CT-8900 meter and the HID/CASI-RUSCO proximity reader to the stand. With the

meter alone or with bar code or mag stripe attach the one power supply unit.
