RF cable TNC(Reverse polarity, internal thread, inner pin) connector connect with
reader antenna TNC connector, RF cable SMA connector connect with external circular
polarization antennas SMA connector, cable maximum length is 5m, impedance 50Ω,
insertion loss is less than 2dB, or you also can choose a high performance cable,
appropriate increase in length, insertion loss is less than 2dB.
Note: If Ultra long RF cable or the cable joint is not contacted well, may cause
performance deterioration on the read and write because of the emission signal and the
received echo signal’s attenuation.

3. Installation
3.1 Notes
To ensure the normal and stable operation of the device and your personal property and
safety, please carefully read the following notes before install CL7206C reader and writer:
1. Firstly, check whether the power socket is connected to the ground, and to see whether
the local power supply voltage is in accordance with the applicable voltage range of the reader;
2. Check the device and the external connection if is closely connected;
3. Pay attention to the type selection and the length limit of the cable and the serial line:
Network cable connects directly, no longer than 80 meters
Serial line connects directly, no longer than 10 meters
4. When installing several readers, the antenna position and the antenna spacing should be
appropriate to avoid interference with each other.
3.2 Installation conditions
Before installing the reader, please carefully check if the product is in good condition, the
accessories are complete or not, if there is any damage, please contact the supplier.
3.3 Device connection
3.3.1 Power on
Insert the power cord into the AC power supply socket and plug another end into the
power connector of the device and tighten.
Turn on and wait about 20 seconds, the system initialization process is completed and is
standby state.
14
3.3.2 Antenna connection
The device built with four TNC coaxial cable connector for connecting an external antenna,
select low consumption RF cable, connectors should be tightened (Ensure to be waterproof
when install outdoors);
The reader antenna angle or corner to adjust to the best position through the actual test
according to the specific application,.
3.3.3 PC connection
The device provides special adapter cable, including interface of network, serial and power;
RS232 interface is for short distance communication (less than 10m), through the DB9
connector and the PC serial port connection to realize the communication of PC and the device.
RJ45 network port used for long distance communication (less than 80m), connect PC with
extend cable.
3.4 Device installation
The reading and writing range of the reader depends on the onsite application, the tilt angle
of the antenna is adjusted to achieve the best reading and writing performance.
3.5 Acceptance
Mainly from two aspects of acceptance criteria: structure and performance.
3.5.1 Acceptance of structure
Check below details:
Whether reader is fixed firmly, without loose;
Whether the cable connected firmly ;
15
Whether the screws are tighten
3.5.2 Performance acceptance
Whether the reader is working properly;
Whether the read and write range is reasonable.
