AC Power Wiring Diagram
(Refer to Encompass Reader System Guide for DC Power Wiring Diagram.)
Choosing a Power Supply
Consider these factors when choosing a power supply :
1. Inputvoltage:19V to 30V DC or 19V to 27V AC RMS
@47 to 63 Hz, in-rush current:8A maximum, 25 ms. (See Power
Requirementson otherside for additional Encompass 5
requirements.)
2. Operating temperature of power supply and powercable
3. Power cable gauge and length. TransCore recommends using
12 to 22 AWG cable to Encompass 5.

* If multiple faults occur, the highest priority fault displays. For example, if the
microprocessor is resetting (highest priority) and the power supply fails
(second highest priority), the microprocessor fault indication displays until it is
cleared.
Equipment Licensing
The user is required to obtain a Part 90 site license from
the FCC to operate the unit in the United States. Access
the FCC Web site at www.fcc.gov for more information.
FCC ID: FIHMPI6000
Users in all countries should check with the appropriate
local authorities for licensing requirements.
Troubleshooting
Perform these troubleshooting procedures:
1. Make sure all connectors are secure.
2. Make sure Encompass 5 is powered up by checking
Power LEDs.
3. Make sure Encompass 5 is communicating with host.
If system does not respond to troubleshooting, contact TransCore
Customer Service at transcore.com/rfidsupport.
Start Up
Perform the following startup procedures:
1. Connect antenna to Encompass 5 at RF MONO port.
2. Connect COM1 or Ethernet cable depending on
communication configuration.
3. Connect other options as needed.
4. Connect AC or DC power to Encompass 5.
Power LEDs should light.
5. Set commands as required for your application.
6. Send Set Mode command to Encompass 5 from host.
