Coaxial Cable and SMA Connector Handling Re quirements
SM
Library
Coaxial antenna cables are more flexible and have a smaller diameter than more familiar
coaxial cable, such as that used for cable television. However, all coaxial cables share this
Pre
characteristi c: turn s or bends in coaxial cables must be g radual loops, no shar per than a 1-inch
radius or 2-inch diameter (2.54 centimeter radius or 5 centimeter diameter).
5/1
0
CAUTION
Too severe a turn or bend in the cable will break the center (solid) fiber. This can
result in an in termittent signal. It may also result in what app ears to be proper
performance at installation that is followed by premature failure and field service.
In addition, a damaged cable will cause a situation where the transmitter printed
circuit board (PCB) is powered without load, and damage the PCB.
An SMA connector is a type of connector that uses a threa ded mount and co nnec ts one opt ical
fiber. Due to its sma ll size, use care when connecting the coaxi al c abl e to as to not damage t he
SMA connector on the Interface Box or the coaxial cable.

Installation
Installation
Note: All installation work is to be accomplished between the hours specified by the point of
sale company authorizing the installation.
Install the Mat Reader assembly according to the following instructions.
Collect and arrange for safety and convenience all tools and equipment.
Positioning the Mat Reader
Gilbarco recommends the fol lowing co ncerni ng the place ment o f a Mat Reader on t he counte r
top relative the following devices:
• any cathode ray tube (CRT), such as the point-of-sale (POS) m onitor
• any device with a card reader, such as a personal identification number (PIN) pad
• the Mat Reader Interface Box
• countertop material
In Relation to a CRT
In general, a Mat Reader shoul d be positioned as fa r away as is convenie ntly possible from any
CRT device to avoid interference from the CRT and to ensure optimum performance of the
Mat Reader. The interference from a CRT can vary greatly from unit to unit and model to
model. Also, the presence of nearby masses of metal can affect the influence of a CRT.
There is no universal minimum separation that guarantees trouble-free operation. If the
distance between the Mat Reader and CRT cannot be increased, changing the relative
orientation of these items may yield better operation of the Mat Reader. However, increasing
the distance will always give the most dramatic improvement in Mat Reader performance.

In Relation to a Card Reader
Pre
In general, any device with a card reader should be positioned as far as is conveniently
possible from a Mat Reader. Since card readers are unshielded, loosely filtered devices, they
are potential vic ti ms of any magnetic interfe ren ce. The M at Rea der ge nerates a magnetic fi el d
as part of its normal operation that can be such a source of magnetic interference to a card
reader.
5/1
0
If a known, good card reader begins to display poor read performance after the addition of a
Mat Reader to the POS system, significant improvements to card reader performance may be
realized by simply increasing its separation from the Mat Reader by as little as a few inches.
As a general rule, placing a card reader beside a Mat Reader has far less effect on the card
reader than actually using the card reader while it is physically on, or held over, the Mat
Reader . A counte r top conf iguration wher e the car d reader co uld be used i n this manne r should
be avoided.

Installation
In Relation to the Interface Box
For optimum Mat Reader performance, the Interface Box should be positioned as close to the
Mat Reader as is conveniently possible. If necessary, the CAT-5 cable, Q13482-06, may be
swapped out for a longer v ersio n in orde r to pro perly pl ace th e Interfac e Box a nd stil l reach the
POS connection. The dash number, such as -06, indicates 6 feet (1.8 meters) long.
In Relation to the Countertop Material
If the countertop material is stainless steel, Formica® covered steel, or some other metallic
material, less than desired performance will be experienced. In the preferred setup, the
®
countertop should be Corian
material.
