The Sheet Metal Mount provides a convenient method of attaching the device while providing the ability to easily remove or replace the device.
Figure 4 – Safety cable attachment point The Sheet Metal Mount provides a secure mounting for the xBR. However, as an added safety feature, the xBR housing has a safety cable attachment point for overhead installations or installations where a falling device may cause a hazard (see Figure 4). Note: This device is not to be installed in air handling spaces (i.e. not plenum rated).
6 Connection Guide The xBR V3 Long Range Reader has several connection points as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6: Receive Antenna 0 and 1 SMA – These are female SMA connections for the receive antenna(s). Figure 5 – xBR Connections Ethernet 10/100 RJ-45 – This is an RJ-45 jack for an Ethernet connection. Ethernet 10/100 RJ-45 (PoE) – This is an RJ-45 jack for an Ethernet connection with optional Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Figure 6 – xBR Connections DC Power Jack – This provides a means of powering the unit if PoE is not available. Connect only a supplied or approved power supply. Transmit Antenna SMA – This is a female SMA connection for the transmit antenna. The transmit antenna must be installed at all times when the unit is powered up and transmitting. Transmitting without the antenna installed may damage the unit. This antenna must be of an approved or supplied type. Use of an unauthorized antenna is not allowed.
