3 INSTALLATION

Before proceeding with the installation of the reader, it is recommended to have a proper site plan. A

site plan will dictate which cables are needed for your application.

For licensed frequency installations the frequencies to be used are also needed.

To mount the HRD28000 RFID Reader, perform the following:

1. Ensure the selected mounting area is clean and free of obstructions.

2. Mount the reader using the integrated mounting flanges.

3. Attach the interface cables.

4. Connect the external antenna cable.

5. Adjust the angle of the antennas and tighten the hardware.

3.1 READER PLACEMENT

Things to consider when developing a proper site plan includes mounting, site layout, reader/tag

alignment, traffic flow lanes, local electrical codes and LAN requirements. It is recommended to contact

your local STAR SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL LTD. sales representative to aid in the proper planning of your

application.

3.2 ELECTRICAL CONSIDERATIONS

Cable lengths are an important factor when developing a site plan and there are losses to consider. As a

rule, it is always good practice to keep the cable lengths as short as possible. The voltage measured at

the reader needs a minimum of 12VDC to function properly.

3.3 ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS

NOTICE: The HRD28000 RFID Reader is designed to meet the regulatory requirements in those

jurisdictions in which it is offered. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Star Systems

International Ltd. for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

ATTENTION: The HRD28000 RFID Reader antenna ports may be susceptible to damage from static

discharge or other high voltage. Use proper Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions to avoid static

discharge when handling or making connections to the HRD28000 RFID Reader antenna or

communication ports. Equipment failure can result if the antenna or communication ports are subjected

to ESD.
