2.2.4 Mounting HMS Tags to Metal

Mounting tags to metal can greatly impact the effective range of the tags. To maintain the

best possible range, the tags should be mounted away from the metal surface using a non-

ferrous spacer. Mounting kits are available from Datalogic Automation as shown in Fig.2-8

and Table 2-2 below.
