IV7 Vehicle-Mount Reader Instructions 3

About the IV7 Vehicle-Mount Reader

The IV7 is a rugged RFID tag reader designed to be mounted on

a vehicle for mobile use. This IV7 includes mounting brackets for

installing the IV7 on an adaptable load back rest on a forklift.

These instructions explain the ports on the IV7 and how to

install the IV7 and an RFID antenna on the load back rest.

Out of the Box

When you unpack the IV7, save the packaging in case you need

to ship or store the IV7. The reader comes with a documentation

packet that includes safety and compliance statements and these

instructions.

Government regulatory agencies require that this RFID reader

only use approved antennas. Therefore, this reader uses a

custom antenna connector. Do not use antennas not approved

for use with this reader.

What You Need

To install the IV7, you also need these items, which are

purchased separately:

• IV7 DC Power Cable Kit (P/N 203-713-002 with right-angle

connector, or 203-713-003 with straight connector)

• Data cable (choose one):

• 20-pin connector to 9-pin serial and 25-pin D-sub

connectors, 5 ft (P/N 236-089-001)

• 20-pin connector only, 12 ft (P/N 203-776-001)

• Appropriate RFID antennas. These Intermec RFID antennas

are designed to be mounted on the load back rest and include

mounting brackets and hardware:

• 865-869 MHz (P/N 805-816-001)

• 915 MHz (P/N 805-816-002)

You can connect up to four antennas to the IV7.

• Appropriate antenna cables for your IV7. Intermec offers

these cable kits for load back rest installations:

• Kit with standard SMA connector for 865-869 MHz [P/N

203-719-003 (12 ft cable) or P/N 203-719-004 (20 ft

cable)]

• Kit with reverse SMA connector for 915 MHz [P/N 203-

720-001 (12 ft cable) or P/N 203-720-002 (20 ft cable)]

These antenna cable kits include crimp connectors and

tiedowns.

For more information on antennas, cables, and other accessories,

contact your local Intermec sales representative, or visit the

Intermec RFID home page at www.intermec.com/RFID.

Understanding the Ports

Connect the IV7 data port to a host PC for serial

communications. You can also use the data port to access the IV7

general purpose input/output (GPIO) interfaces. For data port

pin assignments, see page 13.

Connect the IV7 power port to a DC power source. For power

port pin assignments, see page 14.

Note: The IV7 requires 6-60 VDC at up to 4.5A for operation.

Consult the vehicle manufacturer or your vehicle maintenance

company for specific information on appropriate power

connection and mounting locations.

you are installing an antenna on that port.

Choosing a Mounting Location

The IV7 can be positioned in the center or end channels of the

load back rest for best performance and operator visibility.

Intermec RFID antennas designed to be mounted on the load

back rest can also be positioned in the center or end channels, as

seen in the next illustrations.

center channel and the antenna mounted in one of the end channels.

installation, and then install the wire way to provide cable

protection.

Choose mounting locations for the IV7 and antennas that

allow the best possible visibility for the forklift operator.

If the IV7 and antennas are mounted where they significantly

reduce operator visibility, the installation should be evaluated

for compliance with the following safety standards:

• American National Standard ASME B56.11-6-1992,

“Evaluation of Visibility from Powered Industrial Trucks”

• ISO 13564-1, “Powered industrial trucks - Test methods

for verification of visibility - Part 1: Sit-on and stand-on

operator trucks and variable reach trucks”

Following Cable Safety Guidelines

The IV7 requires power, data, and antenna cables to connect it to

your vehicle-mounted RFID system. Keep these cable safety

guidelines in mind:

• Make sure that the cable routing does not interfere with other

equipment or vehicle controls.

• Keep cables as short as practical and route all cables to

minimize exposure to damage.

• Make sure the cables will not be pinched or rubbed by

moving parts on the vehicle. You may need to sheath the cable

to prevent it from being pinched.

• Secure the cables at least every 15 cm (6 in) throughout the

length of the cable run. Use adjustable clamps or tie-wraps to

secure the cables.

• Use a snap-in bushing if the cables pass through a firewall or

other sheet metal.

Note: Most vehicle manufacturers offer pulley kits for installation

of wiring with risers. Intermec recommends using these

manufacturer-specific kits with any installation of the IV7 on a

forklift load back rest assembly.

Installing the IV7

Before you install the IV7, antenna, or cables:

• the adaptable load back rest should be installed on the forklift

by a qualified technician.

• determine where the IV7 and antennas should be mounted

on the adaptable load back rest. For mounting location

guidelines, see page 6.

• determine where the IV7 power, data, and antenna cables

should be routed, and prepare the cables for installation. For

cable routing guidelines, see page 8.

To install the IV7 on the load back rest

1Unscrew the four 5/16"-18 locknuts from the IV7 and

remove the mounting brackets.

2Connect the power, data, and antenna cables to the IV7. Do

not connect the cables to any other component.

3Position the IV7 in its mounting location on the back side of

the load back rest. The IV7 label should face forward.

4From the front of the load back rest, slide the mounting

brackets onto the bolts on the IV7 baseplate.

Note: The IV7 requires 6-60 VDC at up to 4.5A for

operation. Consult the vehicle manufacturer or your vehicle

maintenance company for specific information on appropriate

power connection and mounting locations.

5Install the four 5/16"-18 locknuts on the bolts and tighten the

locknuts to secure the IV7 to the load back rest. Torque the

locknuts to 5 Nm (44 lb-in). Do not overtighten the

locknuts.

IV7 Mounting Location: This illustration shows the installation viewed

from the front with the IV7 mounted in the center channel of the load

back rest. Cables omitted for clarity.

6Route the power and data cables as needed. If necessary, use

adhesive tiedowns and the removable wire way on the load

back rest to manage the cables. Do not connect the cables yet.

7Position the antenna in its mounting location on the front of

the load back rest.

8From the back of the load back rest, slide the antenna

mounting brackets onto the bolts on the antenna case.

9Install the four 1/4"-20 locknuts on the bolts and tighten the

locknuts to secure the antenna to the load back rest. Torque

the locknuts to 6 Nm (53 lb-in). Do not overtighten the

locknuts.
