Notes on locating the Antenna Panel
Gallagher recommends the following when installing the SmartReader
Antenna Panel:
The Antenna Panel can be mounted onto metal pipe or wood work of
the animal handler but not solid steel handler walls.
The edges of the Antenna Panel contain the antenna windings. This
means that when the Antenna Panel is mounted, vertical bars should be
kept away from the vertical edges of the Antenna Panel and horizontal
bars should be kept away from the horizontal edges of the Antenna
Panel.
Considerations
The position of the Antenna Panel installation depends on the type and
size of the animals to be scanned and the size of Antenna Panel to be
installed.
Gallagher recommends you mount the Antenna Panel temporarily while
you determine the most appropriate position.
