MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
The standard orientation of the Reader is with the larger guide up as shown in Figure 2-1. The
position shown offers the best protection for the heads from moisture, dust, or foreign particles.
In a dual head configuration, connector J3 is wired to the head that is on the same side as the
PCB. Connector J2 is wired to the head that is opposite the PCB. The magnetic stripe must be
inserted in the Large Guide but may be facing in either direction.
In a single head configuration, the head may be mounted on either side. As shown in Figures 2-1
and 2-2, connector J3 is wired with the head on the same side as the PCB. Connector J2 is wired
when the head is on the opposite side of the PCB. The magnetic stripe must be inserted in the
Large Guide and must be facing the head.
