SITE SURVEY
Overview
Checkpoint Field Service personnel visit the location to perform a site survey before installation.
The initial planning stage is the appropriate time to determine site suitability, where the antenna
loops will be located (for maximum EAS protection) and the type of systems to be installed.
Antenna Distance from Interfering Elements
Nearby elements and underlying flooring materials may cause interfering effects. Therefore,
antenna placement must be carefully evaluated
before
installation. Your goal is to identify a
location where ambient noise and environmental factors do not degrade system performance.
For repeatability, all measurements are given at baseline (i.e. using a standard tag type).
