Detailed Installation Procedures

This section provides the details for each installation and connection step.

Step 1: Position the Speedway Revolution Reader and (optionally) Mount the
Reader

Choose the appropriate location for the Reader. Ideally you should always keep the unit
away from direct sunlight, high humidity, extreme temperatures, and sources of
electromagnetic interference. Any combination of these conditions may degrade
performance or shorten the life of the unit. Additionally, you need to account for the bend
radius of the coaxial cable at the antenna connection points – if mounting close to another
perpendicular object. The Speedway Reader supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) and can
obtain its electrical power with data via standard cable in an Ethernet network.
If you plan to power the reading using an external universal power supply, confirm there is
a standard 120 or 220 VAC outlet nearby. Depending on your environment, you may need
to mount the Reader to a wall or another object.

To mount the Speedway Revolution Reader:

1. Locate the four mounting slots on the Reader, as illustrated below:

Figure 2.3 Speedway Revolution Mounting Locations

2. Using ¼ inch diameter bolt with 20 threads per inch (¼–20) or M6 screws, secure

the unit: mount the Reader either horizontally or vertically.
