Replace the RFID Reader

To replace the RFIDClosed Radio Frequency IDentification Reader, perform the following steps:

  1. Disconnect the Ethernet cable and the DC barrel plug.

  2. Disconnect the right-angle adapter and cap from both SMA connections on the RFIDClosed Radio Frequency IDentification reader. Set these aside for reinstallation.

    Store the right-angle adapter and the cap for reuse during RFIDClosed Radio Frequency IDentification reader replacement.

    • Torque coax connections from the cable to the right-angle adapter and from the right-angle adapter to the RFIDClosed Radio Frequency IDentification reader to 0.45 Nm (4 in-lb).

    • Hand-tighten the cap.

    The coax cable must be reinstalled on the same port it was removed from (upper port). The system will not function if the cable is connected to the wrong antenna port.

  3. Remove the screws (x4) and the toothed washer (x1).

     Retain this hardware for re-installation.

  4. Remove the RFIDClosed Radio Frequency IDentification reader.

  5. Reverse the above steps to reinstall with replacement RFIDClosed Radio Frequency IDentification reader.
