brackets, power supplies and interface boxes. Cable pinouts are

Make sure placement of the mounting brackets allows you to
connect the first reader to the PLC or PC, interface box, and
power supply. It should also allow you to connect the second
reader to the interface box and a power supply. Also make sure
bracket placement provides the correct read range for both
readers.
