System Assembly and Bench Test

Assembling the Nanoscanner reader system is very easy.

We recommend you set up the system and verify its operation in a bench test

configuration before installing it in a live application.

You will need two available 120 VAC wall outlets.

Bench Test or Demo Connections

1. Situate the PC on a tabletop. Ensure the following conditions:

• Two standard 120 VAC outlets are available nearby (one for reader, one

for PC if needed).

• Sufficient space is available on the tabletop for the PC, reader and

antenna.

2. Connect the RS-232 cable to the reader.

• Align the cable connector so that its shape and pins match the shape

and holes of the DB-9 serial port.

• Push the aligned connector into the port.

• Finger-tighten the screws to secure the cable/connector to the reader.
