Installing the Encompass 4 Reader
4-19
Mounting the Encompass 4 Reader to a Wall or
Flat Surface
The basic Encompass 4 Reader is supplied with a pole-mount bracket assembly (Fig-
ure 4-8) that allows you to adjust the Encompa
ss 4 Reader up and down. TransCore
recommends using the wall-mount brac
ket accessory kit (Figure 4-11) in addition to
the pole-mount bracket to provide additional horizontal aiming flexibilit
y when
attaching the Encompass 4 Reader to a pole with flat sides or to a wall or ceiling
where other structures can interfere with accurately aiming the Encompass 4 Reader
toward the tags.

Required Materials
You need the following materials to install the Encompass 4 Reader on a wall or flat
surface. Ensure the use of high-quality, corrosion-resistant anchor hardware.
• Anchor hardware suitable for the surface on which you mount the Encompass 4
Reader
Because the Encompass 4 Reader weighs only 9
1/2 lbs (4.3 kg), 0.25 in (0.6 cm)
bolt hardware is adequate to secure the unit to a wall or ceiling.
• Four hex nuts 3/8-16 threaded and four lockwashers
• 5/32-inch Allen wrench
• One Encompass 4 wall mount bracket accessory kit (required)
Procedures
To mount the Encompass 4 Reader to a wall or ceiling
1. Unpack the Encompass 4 Reader. Set aside the pole mount bracket.
Use the bracket in the remaining steps to
provide greater adjustment for the
Encompass 4 Reader. The pole-mount bracket is wrapped separately from the
Encompass 4 Reader and contains a plastic bag of four Allen screws and washers.
