2.2.2 Mounting the C827
The range of the Datalogic Automation Reader/Writers is affected by electromagnetic
radiation and metal. Mount the reader/writer to minimize the impact of these factors. The RF
field of the reader/writer can also cause errors when reader/writers are spaced too closely
together. Do not position adjacent antennas closer than 6 inches center to center.
The remote antennas for the C827-03, C827-06, have a cable length of 1 meter. The tubular
antenna should be mounted through non-ferrous materials. Surrounding the antenna with
metal will greatly reduce the reading range of the antenna. If mounted in metal, ensure that
the face of the antenna extends at least 1 inch (25 mm) beyond any metal surface.
NOTE: This device and its antenna are intended for indoor use only.
2.2.3 Guidelines
 Isolate the reader/writer and antenna from electromagnetic radiation.
 Avoid surrounding reader/writer and remote antenna with metal.
 Maintain at least 6 inches (50 cm) minimum spacing between adjacent reader/writers
or antennas.
 Stay within the guaranteed range for the tag to be used.
 Conform with EIA RS232 standards.
 Use a non-ferrous spacer when mounting tags to metal.
