4.1 Reader
Refer to EG&G Drawings 126764-10, PICS Installation and 126762-10, Assy, PICS
Reader Terminal Unit.
CAUTION
This unit is powered by 120 VAC. This voltage can be
extremely dangerous and can cause death. Always use an
insulated probe when attempting to measure 120 VAC and be
extremely careful not to touch places where this voltage is
present.
The PICS Reader Terminal Unit is contained in a 16” x 16” x 8” NEMA 4X enclosure.
This enclosure may be mounted on a wall by using the tab mounts or pole mounted on a
3 or 4 “ pole by using Unistrut cross channels and U-bolts. There are two ¾” conduit
entrances in the bottom of the enclosure, the right-hand entrance is for the 120vac power
and the left-hand entrance is for the data communications cables (RS-232 three wire and
100BaseT). Liquid tight flexible ¾” conduit is recommended for these connections.
Follow NEC and local electrical codes. The AC power is connected to the right hand
terminal block on the back panel of the unit. The AC ground wire is connected to the
ground terminal in above the AC terminal block. The RS-232 cable should be terminated
with a DE-9S female connector and connected to the RS-232 transient protector. The
100BaseT cable should be terminated with a Category 5 RJ-45 connector and connected
to the 100BaseT transient protector.
WARNING
Installation of antenna near power lines is extremely
dangerous and can result in death. Follow installation
instructions packed with antenna.
4.2 Enrollment Station
This description assumes that the Enrollment Station PC has been set up and configured
prior to installing the Enrollment Station hardware and software. Place the Enrollment
Station RF Interface box in a convenient location for use during PIC enrollment. The
location should provide a clear path to the PIC which enrolling users will be holding.
Connect the Enrollment Station RF Interface RS-232 9 pin connector to an unused COM
port on the PC via a straight through, male to female cable. Connect the Enrollment
Station RF Interface AC adaptor to the power input and plug it into an available AC
outlet. When the Enrollment Station RF Interface is turned on, the LED should light.
When the Enrollment Station sends data to the Enrollment Station RF Interface, the LED
will momentarily turn off.
