Visual Inspection
The IT2200 Reader System with Multimode Capability is very reliable, so many prob-
lems will be due to external causes, such as damage to components. Visually inspect
each system component and replace or repair components as needed. Replacement
procedures are listed later in this chapter.
To perform a visual inspection
1. Inspect the antennas for signs of damage or corrosion.
2. Check the RF module housing for signs of water leakage that might indicate a
broken or loose connector or a damaged seal.
3. Check cables between the RF module, antennas, and reader. Look for damage or
loose connections.
Use the flowchart in Figure 7-1 as a guide for performing visual inspections.
Period Task Description
Weekly
Visually inspect the antennas and RF module housing for
physical damage such as cracks or stressed cables.
Quarterly
Visually inspect all antenna and RF module cables for signs of
damage or water invasion.
