CHAPTER 3 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

System Design

The following Installation section provides basic guidance for configuring

components in your RFID system. We recommend you refer to the

Nanoscanner Reader Developer’s Guide for detailed system design

information before permanently mounting your equipment.

Installation

Installation involves all the same connection steps required for bench test.

However, instead of situating equipment on a tabletop, the reader and

antenna and their accessories will mounted in your application environment.

The photo below shows a reader with single antenna side-mounted at a

loading dock door for a portal application. This configuration may be used to

automatically identify tagged objects moving in and out of this door. Those

tagged objects may be pallets and cases on pallets, crates, equipment and

vehicles, or personnel.

A second (optional) antenna may be mounted on the opposite side of the

portal to better capture tags in a less than optimal position relative to the first

antenna (for example, tagged cases on the opposite side of a pallet).
