9.2. RECOMMENDATIONS
• The antennae windings can be sealed in epoxy to prevent corrosion
of the copper wire. Careful attention must be paid to the connector
between the antennae and the RF signal cables to ensure that they are
watertight. Moisture entering at this point will quickly corrode both
the copper antenna windings and the copper centre conductor in the
RF cable;
• Power and signal cables which are laid between the RFID readers and
co-ordinator and uplink modules should be sheathed in plastic and/or
laid in watertight conduits to prevent corrosion of the inner copper
conductors.
