Figure 3 -  MPR 2010AR Antenna Pattern 

 

  Antenna pattern measurements represent both horizontal and vertical polarized 

planes of the read area transmitted by the reader. 

  In the drawing above, R = approximately 12 feet to 15 feet for MPR-2010AR with 

Alien free space tags. 

  Antenna pattern can be affected by RFI and other environmental conditions.

 

4.2.3 Mounting 

Considerations 

 

Antenna Mounting Bracket 

Also available from AWID is an optional 
antenna-mounting bracket (part # LRMB) 
that provides antenna tilt adjustment and 
pan adjustment. Photo at right shows 
how the reader is mounted onto the 
LRMB. 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

4.3 INSTALLATION 

STEPS 

 

 

1)  Check to ensure that all connections are secure.  Make sure all wires through the 

cable clamps are anchored properly. Avoid dangling wires that may become a 
safety hazard.
