ABOUT THIS MANUAL
The Terso RFID Directional Read Point (TS087) allows you to automatically track RFID-
tagged inventory traveling in and out of a specic area such as an operating room, point of
manufacture, stockroom, etc. This manual provides information on setting up and using the
Terso RFID Directional Read Point and its accessories.
Note: An on-site survey will need to be conducted before any install occurs as special
mounting, congurations, or other hardware may be needed.
Introduction
Notational Conventions
This document uses the following conventions:
• Bullets (•) indicate:
- Action items
- Lists of alternatives
- Lists of required steps that are not necessarily sequential
• Sequential lists (e.g., those that describe step-by-step procedures) appear as
numbered lists
• Note: indicates something of special interest or importance to the reader. Failure to read
the note will not result in physical harm to the reader, equipment, or data.
CAUTION This symbol indicates that if this information is ignored, the possibility of
data or material damage may occur.

7. Terso RFID Directional Read Point (TS087) Setup Guide
1. Remove all items from the shipping boxes and place near location to be installed
2. Verify all components are included by referencing the “COMPONENTS” section above
3. If any components are missing, please call Terso’ Product Development Team for
assistance at (608) 298-4100.
1. Placement considerations
a. Where (near door, above door, ceiling height, etc.)
b. Only one path to read the entire scanning area

c. Path of RFID tagged item through the read point path
d. Installing the read point path into a coered ceiling can reduce tag read
performance. The deeper the read point path is mounted into the coered ceiling,
the more imact there is on tag reads.
2. Install the Device at or below the level of HVAC equipment, pipes, and especially
lighting. Not only will such equipment block the Device beams, but orescent lighting
will also create RF noise interference if in the eld of view. This rule applies only when
the HVAC or lighting is below the Device, in the area where tags are to be read.
For example, if the Device were 10 feet away from the other equipment, this rule would not
apply since the equipment is outside of the read area.
Mounting a read point path under any of the following conditions should be
avoided:
Proximity to uorescent lights: Ideally place the Device greater than a foot away from any
uorescent lighting xture. The reason for this is that the ballasts can oscillate in the data
bands causing RF interference.
A scenario where there is a metal impediment between the tagged item and the Device.
Given that metal blocks the RFID signals, a tagged item’s readability will be greatly reduced if
it is blocked by metal.
Placement directly under or next to a re suppression nozzle (sprinkler): Devices are not
water-resistant.
The recommended mounting for the Terso RFID Directional Read Point (TS087) is
by suspended ceiling mounting. The Device comes complete with a VESA mount for
customizable mounting.
1. Location
a. Ceiling height to be between 8 ft. and 15 ft
b. Ceiling located between 2 ft. and 4 ft. of the door opening
2. Position
a. In / Out Direction must be considered
b. Position as close to the door opening as possible to achieve accurate tag reads
CAUTION Mounting the RFID Directional Read Point (TS087) under any of the
following conditions should be avoided:
i. Proximity to uorescent lights: Ideally place Devices greater than a foot away to
prevent RF interference
ii. A scenario where there is a metal impediment between the tagged item and the
Device. Given that metal blocks the RFID signals, a tagged item’s readability will
be greatly reduced if it is blocked by metal
iii. Placement directly under or next to a re suppression nozzle (sprinkler): these
Devices are not water-resistant
3. Cabling
a. There is a dedicated trough for positioning the cables from the Device to/through
the ceiling mount. Always make sure you route the cables through this path.
4. Physical Mounting
Mounting the Device
10 TS087 User Manual
a. Hang the Device from the mounting plate from a securely installed ceiling mount, but
do not latch. See Figure 1.
b. If using the DC Power Supply, Route the power supply cable from the Power Supply
to the recessed space on the back of the Device using the cable slot or the hole in
the mounting plate. Connect the power supply cable to the 24 VDC locking connector
on the Device. See “Connecting the Device” for specic instructions.
c. If using PoE for power, route the Ethernet network cable from a LAN outlet to the
recessed space on the back of the Device using the cable slot or the hole in the
mounting plate. Connect the Ethernet cable to the PoE Ethernet port.
d. Once the power and Ethernet cables are connected, lift the Device against the
mounting plate and securely lock it into position using the latch and security screw.
Once the security screw is installed, the Device cannot be removed from the
mounting plate.
e. Alternate mounting – The Device mounting plate allows the Device to be bolted to any
structure. There are clearance holes in the plate that accommodate an M4 (metric) or
a #8 (SAE) bolt / screw. See Figure 2.
f. Direction: See gure 3 for directional specic mounting.
6. Mounting recommendation
a. The recommended mounting for the Terso RFID Directional Read Point (TS087) is by
suspended ceiling. The Device comes complete with a VESA mount for customizable
mounting of the Device. If you would like information and pricing for the optional 2’ x 2’
Ceiling Tile mounting Device, please contact Terso Customer Service.
