8/25/2010 PLM Reader Installation Instructions

GeneralInstallationInstructions

a- A RadarFind Reader as shipped can only be installed on receptacles

with the ground pin up. 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.

2‐ReversingthePlugSertinaReader

In places where the Reader must be installed on a receptacle in the opposite

orientation the PlugSert in the Reader may be reversed. 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

RadarFind EVN Reader Kit

Note: The preferred method of installation is always to permanently mount

the Reader on a receptacle, using the methods described in Section 1/2 or

Section 4)

Occasionally circumstances prevent such installations and require the use

of an EVN type Reader which uses an external power supply, e.g where the

only power available is on a headboard or plug-strip or the receptacle is

hidden behind a large metal cabinet.

Radarfind Corporation

8/25/2010 PLM Reader Installation Instructions

EVN Reader Installation Procedure

1 - Select a good location close to the available power to keep the cord distance to a

minimum. If the receptacle is behind a metal cabinet select a spot above or

beside the cabinet within reach of the power supply cord.

2 - Mount the Reader to the wall using the included attachment hardware or alternate

suitable for the wall material. Plug four corner holes with plugs provided.

3 - Mount the power supply onto the receptacle using the metal bracket if a center

screw is available. If no screw is available use adhesive to secure the power

supply to the receptacle cover. Be sure to hold metal cover plates in position

(Figure 2/3) when attaching power supply and bracket.

4 - Verify that the Reader has power by observing the blinking LED.

5 - Neatly coil and dress the power supply cable so it will not get snagged by

surrounding activities.
