Reader Antennas
The ALR-F800 includes 4 antenna ports. These antenna ports are a reverse-
polarity TNC connector. Only antennas documented in this manual (FCC
approved) may be used with the ALR-F800.
System Assembly and Bench Test
Assembling the RFID Reader system is easy. We recommend you set up the
system and verify its operation in a bench test configuration before installing it in
a production setting.
Bench Test Configuration
1. Place the Reader on a tabletop. Ensure that a standard 120 or 220 VAC
outlet or 802.3af compliant network port is nearby, and there is sufficient
space is available on the tabletop for the reader and antenna.
