The integrated mount of the Track Box allows for a variety of mounting methods for both temporary and permanent installations. Please note that the Track Box reads all passive transponders in a radius of ~1m (3ft), even behind the Track Box. Make sure to place the Track Box in a good location.
Vertical Mounting
Track Boxes can be mounted vertically using the integrated magnetics or screw mounting / VESA mount holes. It is also possible to secure the Track Box using cable ties and the existing mounting holes when it's not possible to secure in another way.
When mounted vertically the mount offers 4 different hanging angles to ensure maximum coverage of the read area depending on the height of the mounting point.

Overhead Mounting
The integrated magnets of the Track Box are strong enough to hold the Track Box even when mounted hanging from an overhead surface. When hanging inverted like this then the hook bar must use the 12, 24, or 36 degree hanging slots, it is not possible to hang overhead at 0 degrees.
Tripod Mount
The Track Box includes a metal bracket that can be fitted to a standard UNC thread of a tripod. The Track Box can then be mounted to this using the upper 2 magnets, which provide enough hold to secure the Track Box to the tripod mount.
Depending on the tripod design it may be necessary to weight or secure the tripod in some way.
Free Standing
The mount can also be used as a stand with the Track Box standing on the ground angled upwards.
On soft / uneven ground it may be necessary to use the supplied stakes to secure the Track Box in position, these can be pushed slotted through the stake holes and then pushed into the ground.
