Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Connect the male end of the 8252 power supply to the
9026 splitter cable.
Note: The splitter cable is only necessary when using
multiple RFID modules. For systems operating only
one RFID module, skip to Step 4. The 8252 power
supply will connect directly to the 9087 RFID module.
Plug in the 8252 power supply.
Connect one of the male ends of the 9026 splitter cable
to the 9087 RFID module (circled left).
The small end of the 9002 USB cable connects to the
9087 RFID module (circled right); the oth end should
connect to the 9005 USB hub (see Step 5).
Step 4
Plug the small end of the USB cable included with the
9005 into the back of the USB hub and connect the
other end to the computer. Connect the included power
