For data port pin assignments, see page 13. Connect the IV7 power port to a DC power source. For power port pin assignments, see page 14.
  • Page 6: Choosing A Mounting Location

    Choosing a Mounting Location The IV7 can be positioned in the center or end channels of the load back rest for best performance and operator visibility. Intermec RFID antennas designed to be mounted on the load back rest can also be positioned in the center or end channels, as seen in the next illustrations.
  • Page 7 Alternate Mounting Location Example: In this illustration, the IV7 is mounted in the end channel and the antenna is placed in the center channel. Choose mounting locations for the IV7 and antennas that allow the best possible visibility for the forklift operator.
  • Page 8: Following Cable Safety Guidelines

    Following Cable Safety Guidelines The IV7 requires power, data, and antenna cables to connect it to your vehicle-mounted RFID system. Keep these cable safety guidelines in mind: • Make sure that the cable routing does not interfere with other equipment or vehicle controls.
