4.0 Installation Verification
The following information applies to an installation with an access panel. Refer to the
Troubleshooting the Reader Installation section beginning on page 21 if the reader is not
functioning properly.
4.1 Grounding
Shield (Drain) continuity must run from the reader to the access panel. Shield (Drain) and
reader ground must be tied together at the access panel and connect to an earth ground
in one place.
4.2 Power
A reader may be powered by the access panel, so the reader is powered on when the
access panel is powered on. However the best case is to power the readers by a separate
linear power supply. When powered, verify the voltage at the reader meets the reader's
requirements (refer to Table 1 on page 3). When the reader is powered on, its beeper
beeps in the following pattern: 3 short beeps, 1 long beep.
