Orientation of Reader PCAs
The physical design of the Reader provides for stacking of the PCAs using standoffs
to form a single unit requiring a volume as small as 10 cu in. However, if space
constraints or mounting configurations do not support a stacked assembly the
individual PCAs may be mounted separately such as side by side. Dual mounting
holes are provided on both the Antenna PCA and Control PCA to accommodate
various mounting configurations. Additionally, the Antenna PCB contains both
horizontal (4) and vertical (3) LED placement and may be oriented as such.

IMPORTANT: When configuring the Antenna and
Control boards in a stacked configuration the distance
between the two boards is critical with respect to the read
range of cards and tags. It is recommended the boards
are placed no closer than 1” (2.54 cm.) to achieve typical
read range with most cards. Some cards/tags may require
more distance between the boards. Always use non‐
metallic standoffs to connect the boards together.

Connecting to a Host
The connection from the Reader to the Host depends upon the configuration desired.
The J2 connector on the Control PCA contains all data signals along with input +5V
power. For typical RS‐232 communications or when the Reader performs as a single
Magnetic Stripe Card Reader then connect from J2 on the Control PCA to the host.
Refer to the diagram below.
If adding the Reader into a system with an existing magnetic stripe card reader then
an additional optional Interface PCA is required. With this configuration the Reader
