Installation; Reader Mounting - Chamberlain LMSC1000 Installation Manual

Installation

Site layout plays a large role in where you can mount the reader and may
prompt you to use a particular location/orientation. It is very important to
be mindful of how reader placement affects where and how you mount the
RFID tags/transponders on the vehicle. Here are some examples of reader
placement and how they affect tag placement.
Orientation Note: Minimize the distance between reader and tag as much
as possible (shown as red line).

NOTE: Use LMHNTG for rear view mirror tag location and LMUNTG for all other tag locations.
The LMSC1000 generates and emits Radio Frequency (RF) energy which may cause interference with access control receivers.
Avoid aligning the LMSC1000 read fi eld within close proximity of any other receiving device antenna.

Reader Mounting

Step 1: Install mounting bracket to the desired mounting location.
Attach the round side of the bracket with appropriate screws.
Step 2: Secure the reader to the mounting bracket by removing the
mounting nuts from the mounting bolts located on the back of the reader.
Place the reader bolts through the mounting bracket's supplied holes.
Reinstall the mounting nuts/lock washers and re-tighten.
Step 3: Once the reader is mounted, the reader's vertical orientation to the
roadway can be adjusted using the adjustment screws. The specifi c angle
is determined by the average pitch of the vehicle's tag mounting surface
(e.g., windshield, headlamp, etc.).

proof enclosure: UL Listed NITW or CYIV, Types 3X, 3RX, 3SX, 4X OR 6P.
For best results use a signal checker to test desired installation position.
After reader orientation has been selected make sure that all readers to be
used at the site are installed in the same orientation to ensure consistent
tag reads (all on the left/driver's side, for example).
The example shown is a general recommendation, fi nal location should
be decided after fi eld testing.
