Follow the steps listed below (and detailed in the following sections) to install, configure, and test
your Reader:
1. Mount the Reader in a location chosen for optimal surveillance.

3. Connect the Reader to your host computer.
4. Power on the Reader.

Mount the Reader
Before mounting the Reader, you must select a location for it. For best results, consider the following
when determining the optimal placement for your Reader:
Mount the Reader indoors, in operating range, and out of direct sunlight, high
moisture, or extreme temperatures.
Mount the Reader in an area free from electromagnetic interference. Such sources of
interference may include: generators, pumps, converters, non-interruptible power
supplies, AC switching relays, light dimmers, computer CRT terminals, etc.
Mount the Reader within 15 feet of your antennas (antenna connector cables from
Matrics are 15-feet long.)
Make sure the local power supply cord, when attached to the Reader, can reach the
power source outlet.
Do not mount the Reader within 12 inches of a computer CRT terminal.
Make sure that you will be mounting the Reader onto a permanent fixture (wall or
shelf) where it won’t get disturbed, bumped, or damaged. Keep in mind that you will
need five (5) inches of clearance on all sides of the Reader.
CAUTION: If the Reader is not installed properly, it could be damaged
and your system performance diminished.
