6 Installation
6.1 Mechanical Aspects
The TR-L100 Reader is delivered with four rubber pads screwed on the bottom of the package for
installation on a table or desk.
A mounting plate available with the TR-L100 Reader can be used to mount the unit in various
positions. When mounted vertically, the BNC connectors must be facing upwards and
perpendicular to the floor.
When installing the TR-L100 Reader on the mounting plate, remove the rubber pads from the
TR-L100 Reader and fasten the unit directly to the mounting plate.

CAUTION: For continuous protection against risk of fire, use only T 2.5A – 250V rated fuses.
6.2 Cabling Requirements
All TR-L100 Reader cables must be correctly shielded. The shielding effectiveness of the material
used should be of good performance (60 dB minimum), especially in the frequency range of 10 to
60 MHz. The addition of ferrite clamps near the reader unit will increase common mode rejection.
TAGSYS antenna products are delivered with good performance shielded coaxial cables with 6
ferrite beads already mounted to increase shielding effectiveness at low frequencies.
CAUTION: The screws must be always attached to the bottom of the TR-L100 Reader even if
the rubber pads and mounting plate are not used.
CAUTION: Only use recommended cable with correct shielding when using the Conveyor
Antenna Signal Box.
Conveyor Antennas must be connected to the TR-L100 Reader unit using only the supplied
RG-58 cable with 6 ferrite beads fastened at the reader unit end.
