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 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 reduction in read/write performance), 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 only 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. 2 . 2 CO N N E C T I N G T H E AN T E N N A 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. TOR Q UE SP E C I F I C A T I O N Screws should be tightened to the following torque setting:

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) diameter 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 three wires from your power supply to pins 1-3 on the 5-pin, female, M12 connector (P/N: CBL-1487 included). 5. Attach the CBL-1487 connector to the 5-pin, male, M12 connector on the Cobalt Controller. 6. Attach the 4-pin, male, M12, D-Code connector from a CAT 5E (or better) industrial Ethernet cable (P/N: CBL-1515-05 not included) to the 4-pin, female, M12, D-Code connector on the Cobalt Controller. 7. Connect the other RJ45S end of the CBL-1515-05 (or compatible) cable to an available Ethernet port on the host PC. 8. Turn the power supply ON. The green power LED on the unit will illuminate. After installation is complete, the yellow Node ID 8 LED will be lit when the controller is operating using its default IP address. The yellow Node ID 16 LED will be lit when the controller is operating with a user assigned IP address. H F - C N T L - I N D - 0 2 DE F A U L T I P AD D R E S S : 192.168.253.110
