Mounting Tips

Mount the reader in any orientation. Consider the following before selecting a location for the FX Series reader:
•
Mount the reader indoors, in operating range and out of direct sunlight, high moisture, and/or extreme
temperatures.
•
Mount the reader in an area free from electromagnetic interference. Sources of interference include
generators, pumps, converters, non-interruptible power supplies, AC switching relays, light dimmers, and
computer CRT terminals.
•
Mount the reader within 15 feet of the antennas.
•
Ensure that power can reach the reader.
•
The recommended minimum horizontal mounting surface width is 7 1/2 inches. However, the unit can mount
on surfaces as narrow as 6 inches (in locations where unit overhang is not an issue). For vertical mounting
the unit can mount on a surface as small as 6 inches by 6 inches.
•
Mount the reader onto a permanent fixture, such as a wall or a shelf, where it is not disturbed, bumped, or
damaged. The recommended minimum clearance on all sides of the reader is five inches.
•
Use a level for precise vertical or horizontal mounting.
