Page 2: Cable Connection Diagram
Cable Connection Diagram P. 1... - Page 3 Electrical Installation and Grounding Recommendations We strongly advise using in-line surge protectors between the PoE power supply and the readers for installations using an Ethernet cable longer than 8m in length (therefore minimizing the risk of a cable discharge event), or installation expose to a risk of lightning strikes and electrical surges.
- Page 4 Shielded foil screened twisted pair (Sc FTP)network cable should be used between the PoE power supply equipment and the in-line surge protector. Foil screened TP can prevent the network cable running outdoor from picking up any surges, and also can significantly reduce the signal noise transmitted within the network cable. It should also be grounded at the connectors end to prevent any surges or leaks picked up by the cable from transferring into the equipment/reader connected in the network.
- Page 5 Grounding of the network switch is important. The reasons are as following: Prevents leak from any faulty equipment connected to the network spreading across the network, and potentially damaging other equipment (reader) connected to the same network. Prevents any surge coming from the WAN going into the LAN. Prevents surges and ground currents picked up by un-screened Ethernet cables going to connected network equipment (reader).
- Page 6 Weatherproof Outdoor Installation If the equipment is to be installed outdoors, it is important that users to pay attention to and take all necessary measures to weatherproof the antennas and cable connections. Per the Certified Wireless Network Administrator (CWNA) Study Guide, it is stated that “Water damage is often a serious problem with cabling and connectors.”...
- Page 7 a. Cable Drip Loop By adding a small drip loop or “U” shape before the cable connection to the antenna or reader, water flowing along the cable can be directed to flow away from the connector, preventing the water from flowing onto the connector. The drip loop should be positioned lower than the antenna/reader connector to effectively direct dripping water away.

Cold shrink tubes can be easily acquired from any local radio shop. If you have difficulty finding supplies of cold shrink tubes, please contact a STAR Systems sales representative. i. Tools and Equipment... - Page 9 ii. Procedures Run the coax cable through the cold shrink tube Connect the cable connector with the antenna. Tighten the connection properly with a torque wrench to ensure the correct internal seals and surface contacts are made. Align the cold shrink tube such that it seals the base of the antenna connector.
- Page 10 These materials are often supplied in a bundle as weatherproofing kits which are widely available from the market. If you have difficulty finding supplies of weatherproofing kits, please contact a STAR Systems sales representative. i. Tools and Equipment To weatherproof an antenna cable connection using tape and butyl rubber the following tools are needed: Torque wrench (15-20 lbf·in or 1.7-2.3 N·m for N-type connector)
- Page 11 Using 3/4” (19mm) electric, vinyl or plastic tape to wrap the connection, starting at the cable side at about 1” (25mm) from the connector. Overlap the tape to a half-width. Extend the wrapping to the antenna connector base. Cut a piece of butyl rubber large enough wrap...

- Page 13 ii. Procedures - Silicone Tape Wrap Cut a piece of silicone tape long enough to complete the job. If the length is too short, extra can be easily added. Peel back a length of the protective barrier and trim off if needed. Minimize contact with the surface to ensure proper adhesion.
- Page 14 Starting at a connector end, hold the self-fusing silicone tape in place about one inch from the connector and stretch out until half its original width. While maintaining tension, double cover the first wrap, overlap the remaining and double wrap the last. Completed wrap using Self-Fusing, Silicone Tape.
- Page 15 iii. Procedures - Electrical Tape Wrap About one inch before the silicone tape, overlap the previous wrap by half. Use firm pressure to ensure no wrinkles or gaps. Continue wrapping as in the silicone tape example until the item is completely covered.
- Page 16 iv. Wrap Removal Removing the weatherproofing is quick and easy. Using a sharp blade, slice the length of the wrap, being cautious not to cut the cable. The silicone tape has no adhesive and will not leave a sticky residue. The cable can be immediately rewrapped if needed.

Page 19: Professional Installation
Professional Installation The Tarvos Pro RFID Integrated Reader has integrated a 13 dBi gain, 36° beamwidth antenna and one external antenna port. Professional installation or authorized service personnel is required to configure radio parameters of the transmitter using the software for adjusting total EIRP (30W) power at local installation to ensure compliance with FCC Rules. - Page 20 This information applies to Tarvos Pro that have been configured by the manufacturer for the FCC Part 90 regulatory region. Pursuant to FCC Part 90.205, the Tarvos Pro’s radiated power is limited to +44.8dBm (30 Watts) ERP (Effective Radiated Power). The professional installer must enter the cable loss and antenna gain at the time of installation.
