Existing Interference
Interference from RF and electrical sources can degrade system performance and must
also be considered in the site design. Fluorescent lights, neon signs, nearby radio sta-
tions, or power lines can interfere with the optimal operation of the system. The mag-
netic impulse noise from relays that control gate opening and closing can also disrupt
the RF signal.
Interference may degrade both reader and tag performance. Existing interference at
the site may be shielded, removed, or positioned further from the Encompass 4H
Reader. Strong RF sources of any frequency, in proximity to the tag, can preclude the tag
receiving the reader interrogation (

Electrical and Communications Requirements
All construction work at the site must be completed before installing the Encompass
4H Reader. Electrical and communications cables should be installed according to all
applicable local and federal building code requirements. Specific instructions for posi-
tioning and installing the Encompass 4H Reader are discussed in
4H Reader. Electrical and communications cables should be installed according to all
applicable local and federal building code requirements. Specific instructions for posi-
tioning and installing the Encompass 4H Reader are discussed in
Chapter 4, ”Install-
ing the Encom pass 4H Reader”.
Junction Box
Use a watertight junction box that meets applicable local and national building codes
for connecting power and communications wiring. The junction box houses the termi-
nal strip for power and communications connections. TransCore recommends a
NEMA Type-4 junction box with a back mounting panel.

Power and Communications Cables
Cable length for power and communications depends on the physical characteristics
