After waiting for a few seconds, turn to the right or left (facing east or west)
and perform another collection to determine if additional tags can be
collected.
Figure 2-5 Tag collection facing east or west
Factors that can limit the SMR-650P Reader collection range include:
◆ Obstructions such as multiple walls, chained areas, solid-core doors,
and enclosures
◆ RF interference from other equipment such as computers, cellular
phones, walkie-talkies, elevators, electrical motors, or other RF-emitting
devices
◆ Reflection from the ground and from nearby objects
◆ Positioning and orientation of the SMR-650P Reader
◆ Metal or RF-absorbent surface on the tracked item
◆ Tag location relative to the SMR-650P Reader, such as behind a metal
obstruction or stacked under multiple layers
Radio interference also affects the probability of collecting any given tag,
and you can expect some variance in repeatability in the field.
