Plug the power cable from the Scan Station reader into a suitable (100-240VAC; 50-
60Hz) electrical power outlet.

Using the DataGuard rf Scan Station
The RFID antenna is built into the top of the Scan Station antenna pad. In the closed
position the antenna can read individual cartridges or non-metallic cases filled with
cartridges. The outline of a case is molded into the top of the antenna pad to act as a
placement guide for cartridges and for cases.
Placement of Cases and Cartridges
:
•
Case—place the non-metallic case centered in the grooved outline on the top
of the antenna pad (Figure 3).
o
The RFID labels on the cartridges in the case should face upwards.
o
Imation’s 20-cartridge case (Model DGTSC-100) is ideal for the Scan
Station, but other non-metallic, 20-cartridge cases and smaller cases
also work well.
