If it is necessary to install a Reader 180 degrees off-axis from the existing receptacle the orientation of the Reader PlugSert may be reversed (See Section 2)   b-  If a Reader requires being installed at 90 degrees to the existing receptacle, must be offset, installed over a double gang plate, or installed over a GFCI or single outlet receptacle the services of an electrician is required. (See Section 4)   c-  In some locations where the only available power is on a plug-strip, head-board unit, or behind a metal cabinet or refrigerator the only option may be to use an EVN Reader, which is powered by an external supply. Due to the vulnerability of the power supply and cord this should be reserved as a last option.   IMPORTANTINFORMATION ALWAYS confirm that the Location ID on the label on top of the Reader matches the  Location ID on the map  where Reader is installed.   If it is necessary to install a Reader in any other location for any reason RadarFind must be notified ASAP in the comment section of the Reader worksheet.

This is required where the ground pin of the wall receptacle is down, or insufficient clearance exists to mount the Reader with the Antenna up.   1.  Remove the two short receptacle mounting screws.               2.  Carefully free the PlugSert wires and dress them up and out of the wire slots.             3.  Gently push the PlugSert out of the Reader from the back, being careful not to damage the wires attached to the PlugSert.     4.  Let the PlugSert rest on a table and remove the metal mounting bracket by pressing the locking tabs toward each other and sliding the bracket out of the front of the Reader.

Invert the mounting bracket and re-insert into the Reader so the wire slots in the bracket align with the top wire slots in the Reader housing.           6.  While holding the wires to keep them aligned in the wire slots gently replace the PlugSert into the Reader.       7.  Check to make sure the PlugSert wires are not pinched between the bracket and the PlugSert boby. The shrink tubing on the wire ends should protrude equally from both slots.        8.  Replace the short receptacle mounting screws.
