Install the LE3/BRIDGE
A Plastic enclosure is included with the LE3/BRIDGE. The enclosure houses the Bridge module and must
be mounted externally from the LC3000 Reader. Placement of the enclosure should meet the following
criteria:
• Centrally locate to minimize distance to any laundry machine
• Mount on ceiling, or elevated location to increase range
• Avoid locations near metal objects
• Avoid having obstructions between the LE3/BRIDGE and laundry machines
1 Select the appropriate hardware and
mount the LE3/BRIDGE enclosure.
2 Install 1/2” PVC conduit from the LC3000
to the enclosure.
3 The LE3/BRIDGE includes two
configuration cables (p/n 044-042-043).
This cable has an RJ-45 connector and a
22-pin Molex connector. Plug the 22-pin
connector into the Bridge module.
4 A patch cable is required to span the
distance between the LE3/BRIDGE
enclosure and the LC3000 Reader. Pull
the Patch cable through the conduit.
Install the RJ-45 inline coupler between
the patch cable and the configuration cable. Install the opposite end of the patch cable into the jack
labeled BRIDGE RS-485 of the LC3000 Reader.
5 Place the Bridge module into the enclosure.
