Installation Environment
For indoor use only unless otherwise specied.
Install Magellan’s readers within the temperature and humidity range according to the product specication.
For standard readers the temperature range is from +10°C to +45°C. The humidity range is from 10% to 80%
(non-condensing humidity).
The environment must not contain corrosive, ammable or explosive agents or be subject to rapid changes
in temperature, to direct vibration or shock.
Installation
Magellan’s RFID reader-writers communicate with data carriers (RFID inlets, labels and tags) using the
13.56 MHz High Frequency (HF) band. Some industrial machines and electronic devices can generate
unwanted noise which may degrade communication. Make sure that other equipment is properly installed,
grounded and at a reasonable distance from the reader and/or reader antennas.
Wireless communication can be degraded by high-voltage and high-current lines and other sources of strong
electric and magnetic elds. Installation in such locations should be avoided.
