Connect An External Antenna - Motorola RD5000 Integrator Manual

Connect an External Antenna

The external antenna looks very similar to the RD5000 and it provides a remotely mounted antenna location (see
Figure 3-13 on page
When the reader is used without an external antenna the external antenna port is protected by the 50 ohm termination
resistor/cover. Remove the external antenna port termination resistor/cover to access the external antenna port shown
in Figure 1-8. The external antenna cable must be routed to the external antenna connector shown in
page 1-12. See External Antenna Installation on page 2-12
CAUTION
Unscrew and remove the external antenna port termination resistor/cover as shown in
3.

With the external antenna port termination resistor/cover removed the reader should only be operated
in a clean, dry environment (for setup and configuration only). The external antenna port termination
resistor/cover (or an external antenna connector Reverse-Polarity N) must be used.
