4.4 Testing the Gate Antenna

After tuning the gate antenna, you can check for proper function using the Reader, the ISOStart

service software and a Smart Tag. Here the Noise Level and performance of the gate are tested.

4.4.1 Checking the Noise Level

Step Action Note

Activate “Test and

Measurement”

Select „Noise Level“ and

start by clicking on „Start“

Normal Noise Level values:

Average:

< 50mV

Difference (Max-Min):

< 30mV

If the values are not met, check the following:

• Are all cables pulled tight and do they make good contact?

• Were the ring cores installed in the antenna cable?

• Were the cables routed as specified?

• Are other RFID systems installed nearby?

• Are there large metal parts near the antenna (distance < 1.0 m)?

• Are there devices nearby which may emit noise interference (larger machines or wireless

devices)?

• Are there interference from the mains?

To determine which devices may be disturbing the gate, briefly disconnect them from the mains.
