 Adjusting the Tx Activation Field
A Tx wand antenna (Figure 4.1 and 4.2) located
at a zone generates a Tag activating, radio
frequency signal called the “Tx Activation
Field.”

When a Tag is activated it sends a signal to the
Receiver. The Receiver then sends the signal
to the Controller, which validates the signal
before initiating any action such as locking a
door, deactivating an elevator or triggering
system alarms.

Temperature
A Tx wand antenna weighs approximately 1.5
U.S. pounds, which should be considered
when choosing mounting hardware.
Tx wand antennas operate best in an ambient
temperature between 35 and 90 degrees
Fahrenheit. Operation outside of this range
may cause unexpected or undesirable results,
including premature failure.
Location
Position the antenna on the latch side of the
door with its lowest point about 3 feet above
