See Chapter 5.Installing multiple unitsTo mechanically install multiple units, follow the same sequence of steps, perAxiom reader, as defined in Installing a Single Unit. Your application will definehow the mounting requirements vary for each reader.Multiple-reader networks may require a different approach to physical locationof the power source, trigger photoeye, and tachometer since they are mostlikely being shared by the group of readers.
