3. Installation
Installation of an RFID reader adjacent to metallic surfaces might alter the
reader’s specifications. To diminish this interference, use a plastic spacer when
mounting the reader.
3.1 General
Figure 1 shows the structure of the reader.

Figure 2: Reader Fixing Mode
Each installation method is selected based on application requirements and
actual location. The user can use the provided template to install AY-U910
reader in more convenient and easier way, but the read distance is a little
short; the situation becomes opposite if using the latter.
3.1.1 1-Shaped Stand Bracket Side-Loaded
In this method, the stand pole installed to the AY-U910 reader should have a
diameter of between 50 and 60 mm and the length of 2.2 m. The pole should
be made of stainless steel with a thickness of more than 1.20 mm.
Use the fastener contained in package box to mount AY-U910 reader to the
top of the stand pole according to actual vehicle type (mainly large car and
small car) and then adjust the height from the center of AY-U910 reader to
lane level to be around 2.0 m (between 1.8 and 2.2 m).
3.1.2 L-Shaped Stand Bracket Top-Loaded
In this method, the L-shaped stand pole (or dragon shape) installed to AY-
U910 reader should have a diameter of between 60 to 80 mm. The pole
should be made of stainless steel with the thickness of more than 1.20 mm.
Use the fastener contained in package box to mount AY-U910 reader to the
rail near the center of the lane.
Adjust the height between the rail and the ground to between 3.5 to 4.0 m,
depending on the height of vehicle.

3.2 Adjusting the Azimuth Angle of Antenna
The angle of inclination with the ground plane of the antenna should be
approximately 60° to 75°, while the deviation angle of the antenna should be
biased towards the lane direction (Figure 3).
