Note: review Section 2.1.2: “Installation Guidelines” prior to installing the
controller.
1. Attach the Cobalt HF Antenna to the Cobalt HF Controller as per the
instructions in Section 2.2: “Connecting the Antenna.”
2. Select a suitable location for the Cobalt HF Controller/Antenna. If
necessary, fabricate mounting brackets from durable plastic.
3. Fasten combined controller and antenna to your mounting fixture using two
M5 (#10) screws (not included). Pass screws through antenna’s mounting
holes and secure them with appropriate washers and nuts. Tighten screws
to 1.7 Nm or 15 lbs per inch ± 10%.
4. Connect the 5-pin, female end of an EMS approved Subnet16 cable to the
controller’s 5-pin, male, M12 connector. Connect the opposite end to a
Subnet16 multi-drop bus network. Note: for additional information refer to
the installation guide provided with the Subnet16 Gateway or Subnet16 Hub
(also available online at: www.ems-rfid.com).
5. Turn the power supply ON. The green power LED on the unit will light when
power is applied to the unit.
After installation is complete, the yellow Node ID LEDs will display the currently
assigned Subnet16 Node ID (in binary). Note: the Cobalt’s default Node ID is
Node 00; in which case none of the yellow Node ID LEDs will be lit.
