3. Secure the bottom 500G remote module
mounting holes over the two 8-32 x 3/4-inch
screws with the remaining two 8-32 nuts.
4. Insert the #10 spacers into the four mounting
holes on the back of the IMC\W2.
Caution: Upright vertical positioning is very important because the remote
module is:
■ designed with the antenna in a vertical direction so the antenna is parallel to
the reading device (which has a vertical antenna). Matching antenna polarity
can greatly affect RF performance and enable easy module reading.
■ designed so the tilt tamper is vertical. It is important to maintain vertical
positioning in the field to enable tilt tamper stability.
■ designed for installation with the batteries vertical (installed with the positive
terminal upward). Any other installation orientation will compromise battery
life.
