1. Installation and Usage Guide

About this Guide
This installation and usage guide explains how to install the V750 Reader, how to use the browser-based
interface, and how to control the reader remotely.

1.1 Before You Begin

1.1.1 Installation Requirements

•
The reader is shipped with a power source with a cable length of 4.2m (13ft9in).
•
Use only authorized antennas and cables to maintain FCC approval .
•
In order to comply with FCC requirements for RF exposure safety, a separation distance of at least 23 cm
(9.1 in) needs to be maintained between the radiating elements of the antenna and the bodies of nearby
persons.
•
Provide strain relief for all reader connections.
•
The minimum screw size for mounting the reader is M4. Use suitable wall anchors when mounting to
drywall or masonry whose thickness is 16mm or more.(Refer to 1.3.1 Install the Reader)
•
A Shielded Ethernet cable must be used to communicate with other devices.
•
Multiple readers and antennas can be used in combination to enhance detection at specific locations
provided the software application is able to synchronize antenna operation.

1.1.2 Performance Considerations

Reader performance may be affected by external factors including tag variables and environment.
Performance tests conducted under typical operating conditions at your site are recommended to help you
optimize system performance.
Tag Variables
There are several variables associated with tags that can affect reader performance:
•
Application surface — Some materials interfere with tag performance including metal and moisture. Tags
applied to items made from or containing these materials may not perform as expected.
•
Tag orientation — Reader performance is affected by the orientation of the tag in the antenna field.
•
Tag model — many tag models are available. Each model has its own performance characteristics (refer to
Chapter 3).
Environment
Reader performance may be affected by the following:
•
Metal surfaces such as desks, filing cabinets, bookshelves, and wastebaskets may enhance or degrade
reader performance.
Mount antennas as far as possible from metal surfaces that are adversely affecting system performance.
