User I/O A general purpose I/O (Input/Output) connector provides signal lines in and out of the reader allowing monitoring and/or control of external devices or functions. The connector for this is a 13-pin female circular DIN. The mating male connector you need for mating with this is an Intermec p/n: 351-184-001.
Installing the IM5 Reader Module The IM5 Reader Module requires 8-10 volts DC at 2 amps. The IF4 Serial Reader is powered through a 2-pin bulkhead barrel connector (Switchcraft p/n: 712A). The Reader Module supplies 9-volt 2.4 amps to this connector. Mating plugs for this connector are Switchcraft part numbers 760, 760K or 761K. A cable within the PSR connects the bulkhead barrel connector, via an endplate switch, to the 2-pin Molex connector on the IM5 Reader Module.
Connecting and Getting Started FCC and Industry Canada regulations limit exposure to radiofrequency (RF) radiation. To comply with these regulations, operators of this device must maintain a distance of at least 23 cm. (9.1 inches) from the cover on the antenna assembly (The cover on the antenna is the dome shaped surface). While the device is on, the operator’s body and parts of the body such as eyes, hands, or head, must be 23 cm. (9.1 inches) or farther from the cover of the antenna assembly.
Antenna Installation 1 Connect the antenna cable to a port. The four antenna connectors have lock washers and nuts to allow for panel mounting. 2 Connect a reverse SMA terminator (Intermec p/n 345-004-001) to any port that does not have an antenna attached. Each port must have either an antenna or a terminator connected. Do not apply power to the Reader unless an antenna cable or terminator is installed on each antenna port.
