  • Page 35: Chapter 2 Installation

    Introduction The RD5000 RFID reader is designed for use on a mobile platform such as a forklift. The unit may be used both indoors and outside and is resistant to outside elements such as sun, rain, snow and splashed water. The RD5000 RFID reader requires a mounting platform.

  • Page 36: Installing The Motorola Mounting Brackets

    Installing The Motorola Mounting Brackets The Motorola mounting brackets are designed to provide the proper clearances, as well as provide protection from a flat object impacting the reader. The brackets are designed to be welded in place and a welding jig is available for this purpose.
  • Page 37 Installation 2 - 3 Attach the welding jig to the shock isolators using the four allen head screws and the four lock washers. The mounting brackets are identical so either bracket can be used on the left or right hand sides. Welding Jig Allen Head Screws (4) Lock Washers (4)
  • Page 38 2 - 4 RD5000 RFID Integrator Guide Tack weld the mounting brackets in the six locations marked (see Figure 2-3). The welds should be 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch long, with a 1/4 inch bead and 1/16 inch penetration. Tack Welds (6 places)
  • Page 39 Installation 2 - 5 Finish welding the mounting brackets (see Figure 2-4) with a 1/4 inch bead and 1/16 inch penetration. Finish Welds Finish Welding the Brackets Figure 2-4 Clean and inspect the welds. Re-weld any areas that require touch-up. Allow the brackets to cool before continuing with the installation.

  • Page 41: Locally Fabricated Mounting Platform

    2 - 7 Locally Fabricated Mounting Platform NOTE The locally fabricated mounting platform is only used when the Motorola mounting brackets are not (or cannot) be used. The mounting platform may be locally fabricated, or the Motorola mounting brackets may be used (recommended) as the mounting platform.

  • Page 42: Installing The Shock Isolators On The Locally Fabricated Mounting Platform

    2 - 8 RD5000 RFID Integrator Guide Installing The Shock Isolators on The Locally Fabricated Mounting Platform The locally fabricated mounting platform must provide the proper clearances (see Figure 2-6 on page 2-7). Attach the shock isolators (provided with the reader) using the post side of the shock isolator as appropriate for the mounting platform design.

  • Page 43: Mounting The Reader

    2 - 9 Mounting The Reader The steps provided are to mount the RD5000 RFID reader to the Motorola mounting brackets. Adjust the steps accordingly if a fabricated platform is being used. Prior to starting the installation confirm that the reader has been configured for the local wireless network and that the battery has been fully charged.

External Antenna Terminating Resistor Mounting the RD5000 RFID Reader Figure 2-8 Slide the reader over the shock isolators to align the shock mount holes with the reader mounting holes.
  • Page 45 Installation 2 - 11 RD5000 RFID Reader Final Installation Figure 2-9 Once all of the allen head screws are in place, use a 3/16 inch allen wrench and a 7/16 open end wrench to tighten the allen screws and the shock isolator nuts to a torque of 3.3 ft.-lbs.

  • Page 46: External Antenna Installation

    The external antenna must be professionally installed. Select an accessible mounting location that is free from obstructions that might inhibit reading. The external antenna uses the same mounting brackets or mounting platform that the RD5000 uses. The location should not subject the external antenna to possible damage during loading and unloading of products.

  • Page 219: Appendix B Motion Sensor Parameters

    Appendix B Motion Sensor Parameters Introduction The Motion/Proximity sensor API for the RD5000 includes a MPS_CMD_MOTION_SET_THRESHOLD command that allowed the setting of an acceleration threshold used to determine whether a motion event had occurred. Modifications to the motion sensing algorithm have made it desirable to allow the reconfiguration of several parameters to optimize the code for different environments and this has been implemented using an extension of this single API call.

  • Page 221: Parameter Details

    There are three sets of parameters that govern the basic operation of the motion sensing subsystem. Within each set, there is a parameter that applies to each of the three axes, X, Y and Z. Alignment of the axes in reference to the RD5000 unit is as shown in Figure B-1.
  • Page 222 B - 4 RD5000 RFID Integrator Guide Min Detection Parameters: These parameters govern minimum change in velocity to be detected by the device for calculation of resultant velocity in respective axes. Refer to Set Minimum Detectable Velocity Change (Table B-1 on page B-1) to set values through the API.
