distance
a
a. The reader will work well with unshielded cable in most environments. No
company, including GE, can guarantee that data will be reliably transmitted
over long distances on unshielded cable in every installation.
The maximum cable distance between the reader
and the microcontroller is influenced by a number of
factors including wire gauge and reader power level
setting. See Table 3 “Cable distances,” on page 25.
Read range Determined by the reader’s power level setting and
other environmental conditions. See Table 2 “Read
range by model number,” on page 24.
Pinouts The reader is supplied with a ten-wire cable. On one
end is a keyed connector that mates with the J1
connector on the back of the reader. The other ends
are stripped ready for connection to the field wiring
using a terminal block or in-line splice connectors.
