6.5 Antenna Installation
6.5.1 Positioning the Antenna
Reliable reading and writing depends on the distance from and orientation
of the transponder to the antenna.
ATTENTION
When installing the antenna, consider the required reading and writing
ranges. The reader can only be used properly if the transponder is
located within the individual reading/writing range of the antenna.
If the transponder is very close to the antenna, the transponder may be
de-tuned by the metal of the antenna and a reading/writing is not
possible. We recommend keeping a minimum distance between
transponder and antenna of about 10 mm.
After antenna installation the antenna should be tuned ( DIP
Switches).
