3. Mounting
Installing 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
There are two methods that can be used when installing the reader.
1-Shaped Stand Bracket Side-Loaded
L-Shaped Stand Bracket Top-Loaded
Each installation method is selected based on application requirements and
actual location.
3.1.1 1-Shaped Stand Bracket Side-Loaded
In this method, the stand pole should have a diameter of between 50 and
60 mm (2 to 2.4 in.) and a height of 2.2 m. The pole should be made of
stainless steel with a thickness of at least 1.2 mm (0.05 in.).
Use the bracket contained in the package box to mount the AY-U920BT reader
to the top of the stand pole depending on actual vehicle type (mainly large car
and small car) (Figure 1).
Figure 1: 1-shaped Stand Bracket Side-Loaded
Adjust the height from the center of AY-U920BT reader to lane level to be
around 2.0 m (6.5 ft).

3.1.2 L-Shaped Stand Bracket Top-Loaded
In this method, the L-shaped stand pole should have a diameter of between 60
to 80 mm (2.4 to 3.1 in.) and a height of 4.2 m (13.8 ft). The pole should be
made of stainless steel with the thickness of at least 1.2 mm (0.05 in.).
Use the bracket contained in package box to mount the AY-U920BT reader to
the rail near the center of the lane (Figure 2).
Figure 2: L-shaped Stand Bracket Loaded
Adjust the height between the rail and the ground to between 3.5 to 4.0 m
(11.5 to 13 ft), depending on the height of vehicle.
