Mounting the Reader The reader provides mounting holes for attachment to a mounting surface. CAUTION: The reader has to be grounded, either by mounting the reader to a fixture that is electrically grounded or by attaching a wire from the reader’s mounting fixture to frame ground or Earth ground.
Page 37
Align the holes on the mounting surface with the mounting holes on the reader. Insert the M3 screws into the mounting holes. Mounting the Reader in Right-Angle Configuration Align the holes on the mounting surface with the mounting holes on the reader. With the reader in right-angle position, only the back mounting holes can be used.
Page 38
Note: Mounting the reader at a slight angle (15°) reduces reflections and improves performance.
Page 39
Connecting the Ethernet Cable to DataMan 280 Series Readers CAUTION: The Ethernet cable shield has to be grounded at the far end. Whatever this cable is plugged into (typically a switch or router) should have a grounded Ethernet connector. A digital voltmeter has to be used to validate the grounding.
Page 40
Connecting the Power and I/O Breakout Cable CAUTION: To reduce emissions, connect the far end of the Breakout cable shield to frame ground. Note: Perform wiring or adjustments to I/O devices when the reader is not receiving power. You can clip unused wires short or use a tie made of non-conductive material to tie them back.
