A5205 Sensor User Guide.book Page 9 Thursday, January 15, 2009 1:46 PM Chapter 2: Getting Started 9 A5205 Bottom Cover Figure 2-6 shows the bottom cover of the A5205 Sensor. The A5205 Sensor comes with four removable rubber pads on its bottom cover (shown in the picture below). They help prevent the Sensor from skidding when deployed on a flat surface, without using the A5231 Mounting Bracket. However, these rubber pads must be removed when mounting the Sensor onto the Mounting Bracket.
A5205 Sensor User Guide.book Page 10 Thursday, January 15, 2009 1:46 PM 10 Chapter 2: Getting Started The tamper-evident seals are required for AirMagnet Sensors operated in FIFS mode. The following instructions apply only to Sensors that are intended to comply with the FIPS requirement. To apply the tamper-evident seals: 1) Tighten each of the retention screws using a screwdriver, making sure that they are all tight. 2) Clean the areas where the seals are to be applied.
A5205 Sensor User Guide.book Page 11 Thursday, January 15, 2009 1:46 PM Chapter 2: Getting Started 11 Seal 1 Seal 2 Figure 2-6:Applying tamper-evident seals Important Make sure that the seals are applied approximately evenly (50%-50%) to the bottom and the cover of the module, as only one part of the seal needs to be removed to defeat the seal. 4) Firmly press the seal ends to cover the seam between the bottom and the cover of the module.
