Proximity Tag Reader Location
Maximum Tag detection range is approximately 5 ft. (1.5 m). As a result, mount the PTR
very close to the tag detection location. For example, to detect a tag worn by someone
in a bed, wall mount the PTR at the head of the bed.
The PTR case was designed to make options and adjustments user-inaccessible. Unlike
other RFID devices, the PTR is designed for mounting in locations visible to the facility
occupants.
Setting LF Field Strength
Varying the LF field strength changes the size of the Tag detection zone.
Use Test Mode to set the LF Field Strength. Test Mode provides an audible beep; and,
disables network messaging.
Tools: You will need a VeriChip RFID Tag and a small common screwdriver.
To adjust the LF field strength:
1 Choose the PTR’s final mounting location.
2 Use the backplate to mark the wall.
3 Drill mounting holes in the wall.
4 Remove the PTR cover. Identify the Options Dip Switch as shown in Figure 2.
