MPR-1510BR 2.7c 2.3 Page 9 11/9/2006 MEASURING READ DISTANCE Make sure you know the tag types. For certain readers and tags, user must also be mindful of the tag’s orientation and the reader’s antenna orientation, what mounting surface the tags are designed for and how the tags are supposed to be mounted. Any departure from its intended purpose will drastically affect the reader’s ability to energize the tag and its read range.
