4.3 Specific Installation using the Mounting Kit
The Textile Rental Stack Antenna is provided with a mounting kit for specific installations. This
mounting kit with its two guides is useful to quickly put the stack of folded garments on the reading
surface.
CAUTION: Always ensure that the reader unit is switched off before connecting or
disconnecting the antenna. Also, the antennas MUST be connected to the reader unit before it
is switched on.
Do not shorten or extend the supplied cable as it may affect performance.
Do not place the antenna cable close to other cables, especially power cables.
Metallic or conductive parts must not be present in front of the antenna active face.
For best performance, always request an installation compliance agreement from TAGSYS
Custom Services regarding your specific installation.
The TAGSYS Antenna Tuning Kit Device may be required to verify the tuning of antennas for
a specific installation.
