Detailed Installation Procedures
This section provides the details for each installing and connecting step.
Step 1: Position the Speedway Revolution Reader and (optionally)
Mount the Reader
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. Because the Speedway
Reader supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), the reader 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.
