Your tool kit should include (but is not limited to)…
♦ N-type connector crimp tool
♦ screwdrivers: flat blade, Philips blade
♦ SAE Socket set
♦ utility knife, wire cutter, wire stripper
CR2000- Installation Items
The kit of reader components described at left does not
include the following required items…
1 PC cable, RS232 (DTE-DCE), 12 feet (see Fig 1)
A/R antenna mount hardware: bracket(s), clamp(s), mast, etc.
100 feet (or less A/R) of RG213U cable
2.5 feet of RG58U cable
1 N-male connector for RG213U cable
1 N-female connector for RG213U cable
1 N-male connector for RG58U cable
1 N-female connector for RG58U cable
1 each of fixed attenuators: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 dB
A/R heat shrink tubing, electrical tape, cable ties and clamps
NOTE: During system installation, the contractor determines
the fixed RF attenuation level required.
CR2000- Installation Overview
♦ The antenna is installed within the distance/angular limits
of the "pick-up point" as indicated in Table 1 on the back
page
♦ The reader, power pack, antenna adapter cable and "total
RF attenuation" components are installed at a location
inside the building (see Figure 1 on the back page) that is
(all of)…
within 6 feet of a 110Vac power main drop
within 12 feet (4 meters) of the host computer
within 100 feet of the antenna mounting location
outside the building
♦ All system connections are completed as indicated in the
CR2000 - Installation Steps listed on the back page.
♦ The CR2000 PC application software is transferred from
the diskette to the host computer and is running.
♦ The total RF attenuation value is determined by varying
the configuration of the available fixed attenuators.
NOTE: Where necessary, Mark IV Industries Ltd. I.V.H.S.
personnel may be required to "fine tune" the system RF
attenuation parameters.

CR2000 - Antenna mounting
The antenna will be mounted over-head at a height of Ha ft
with horizontal polarization where Ha is measured from the
highest part of the antenna. Determine the distance Do (in ft)
between the "pick-up point" and the antenna mast, and use it
to determine the antenna tilt down angle α° in the in-lane
direction (H Plane), using the following table.
Antenna
Height (Ha)

* Distance referred to the antenna mast.
** Based on semi-empirical data.
Note: User must maintain a separation distance of 23cm from
the antenna. The antenna has gain of 6 db.
CR2000 - Installation Steps
Connect the antenna with the reader via RF feedline and RF
attenuator(s) and antenna adapter cable.
1) Disconnect the power main input to the power supply.
2) Connect the Power supply output to the CR2000 reader.
3) Connect the PC port COM1 to the reader host port using
the provided straight through RS-232 cable.
4) Connect the RF cable adapter (RG58 short cable) to the
reader RF port (Type N connector).
5) Connect the RF feedline to the RF cable adapter via the
fixed attenuator(s) referenced in step 9. Install a Type-N
Male connector at the end of the feedline.
6) Route the RF feedline through the wall. At the feedline
antenna end, slip 6" of heatshrink tubing on the cable.
Install a Type-N female connector at the end of the
feedline. Make the connection with the antenna.
7) Reconnect the power main input to the power supply.
8) Execute the CR2000 PC application software as
referenced in document A316000-743.
9) Determine the "total RF attenuation" value by varying the
configuration of the available fixed attenuator value(s).
10) After the system has been fully tested OK then heat shrink
the tubing (in step 6) over the antenna connector to make
it water tight.
