Mounting the DataMan 280 Reader

The reader provides mounting holes for attachment to a mounting surface.

CAUTION:  The reader has to be grounded, either by mounting the reader to a fixture that is electrically grounded or by attaching a wire from the reader’s mounting fixture to frame ground or Earth ground. If a ground wire is used, it has to be attached to one of the four mounting points on the bottom plate of the reader and not to the mounting points on the front of the reader.

Note:

Mounting the DataMan 280 at a slight angle (15°) reduces reflections and improves performance of the reader.
