Power Requirements
The Cobalt Controller requires an electrical DC supply voltage. See Technical
Specifications for details. Use a dedicated and regulated power supply connected to a
suitable AC power source that is capable of delivering these requirements. Do not
apply power until the entire system is wired and checked.
2.1.2
2.2
Installation Guidelines
•
RF performance and read/write range can be negatively impacted by the
proximity of metallic objects. Avoid mounting the antenna within 15cm (6
inches) of any metallic object or surface.
•
Do not route cables near unshielded cables or near wiring carrying high
voltage or high current. Cross cables at perpendicular intersections and
avoid routing cables near motors and solenoids.
•
Avoid mounting the controller near sources of EMI (electro-magnetic
interference) or near devices that generate high ESD (electro-static
discharge) levels.
•
If electrical interference is encountered (as indicated by a diminished or
reduced read/write range), relocate the controller to an area free from
potential sources of interference.
•
Conduct a test phase where you will construct a small scale, independent
network that includes the essential devices required to test your RFID
application. To avoid possible interference with other devices, do not initially
connect your RFID testing environment to an existing local area network.
•
Always use adequate ESD prevention measures to dissipate potentially high
voltages.

Cobalt HF-Series RFID Antennas mount directly to the top of the Cobalt HF-Series
RFID Controller’s housing. The antenna is first attached to the RF port on the
controller and is then fastened to the controller’s housing using the two M5 screws and
matching spring lock washers included with each Cobalt HF-Series RFID Controller.
Use the provided 4mm hex key wrench to tighten both M5 screws.

Note: review Section 2.1.2: “Installation Guidelines” prior to installing the
controller.
1.
Attach the Cobalt HF Antenna to the Cobalt HF Controller as per the
instructions in Section 2.2: “Connecting the Antenna.”
2.
Select a suitable location for the Cobalt HF Controller/Antenna. If
necessary, fabricate mounting brackets from durable plastic.
3.
Fasten combined controller and antenna to your mounting fixture using two
M5 (#10) screws (not included). Pass screws through antenna’s mounting
holes and secure them with appropriate washers and nuts. Tighten screws
to 1.7 Nm or 15 lbs per inch ± 10%.
4.
Connect the 8-pin, female, M12 end of your serial communications cable to
the 8-pin, male, M12 RS232 connector on the Cobalt.
5.
Connect the 9-pin, female D-sub connector on the serial interface cable to a
COM port on a host computer. Thghten the cable's two locking
thumbscrews
6.
Connect the 2.5mm DC power plug on the power supply transformter to the
DC power jack receptacle on the serial interface cable. Tighten the locking
ring to prevent power from becoming disconnected during use
7.
Turn the power supply ON. The green power LED on the controller will light
when power is applied to the unit.
After installation is complete, the green power LED and the yellow Node ID 1 LED will
remain lit. The Node ID 1 LED indicates that the controller is operating in RS232
mode.
