Reader Hardware
The STF1000G is a multi-protocol, multi-regional Radio Frequency Identification
(RFID) System that operates in the 860 – 960 MHz UHF band.
Mechanical Installation
Mounting the Reader
The STF1000G is equipped with a mounting plate with keyholes that accept three
mounting screws. Pre-drill any mounting surface according to the following dimensions.
Any mounting surface must be able to support up to four pounds.
Connecting the Ethernet Port
The maximum Ethernet cable length is 30 meters. If you are communicating with your
reader across a Local Area Network (LAN), connect an Ethernet cable from your hub or
router to the RJ-45 connection. See Figure for location of the connector. If you are
connecting the reader directly to a PC, you must use a crossover cable. See Note to the
left.
Connecting the USB Port
Connect a USB cable to the host pc for a direct connection to the STF1000G RFID
reader.
Connecting the Antennas
The maximum antenna cable length is 10 meters. Connect the antenna to antenna port 1.
If you are using additional antennas connect them to Ports 2-4.
Connecting the Power
Connect the power supply to the reader and connect the power supply to your 100-240
Vac, 50-60 Hz power source. Allow 30 seconds for the reader to initialize.
