U-bolt (4 places) Installing an IV7: This illustration provides an example of how you can install the IV7 to the forklift load backrest. To install the IV7 1 Study the previous illustration. 2 Attach the top of the IV7 to one of the mounting straps (18.0 in).
5 Attach the bottom of the IV7 to the mounting strap you secured in Step 4. 6 Attach caps to the ends of all U-bolts. You can use either the smaller caps (if the ends are exposed) or the larger caps (if you also need to cover the hex nut).
3 Use two U-bolts to secure the mounting strap to the load backrest. Mount the antenna so that it faces the forks (where the RFID tags will be). Note: You may need to use extra hex nuts on the U-bolts to ensure that the antenna does not extend into the area where a pallet or container could damage 4 To install the other antenna, repeat Step 2 and Step 3.
Once you have figured out the best potential locations for the antennas, you need to mount the antennas on the forklift. Exactly how you mount the antennas depends on many factors, including: • forklift configuration. Is there space between the spines on the load backrest for mounting an antenna? Is it okay to remove one of the spines to accommodate mounting an antenna? •...
You may need to modify the load backrest to protect the antenna from load impact damage. Ideally, the antenna should be recessed in a metal frame. Mounting Between the Forks If the application is designed to read pallet tags placed on the bottom of pallets or other containers, you may want to mount the antenns between the forks.
