•
RFID devices can be negatively affected by the presence of metallic objects near its RF field.
Avoid mounting the C0405 within
5cm (2 inches)
of metallic surfaces.
•
Avoid mounting the RFID controller near sources of EMI (
electro-magnetic interference
) or near
devices that generate high ESD (
electro-static discharge
) levels.
•
Do not route the C0405’s cables near unshielded cables or near wiring that is carrying high
voltage or high current (such as for motors or solenoids). Cross cables only at perpendicular
intersections.
•
Use the included polycarbonate mounting bracket or a similar non-metallic bracket. The bracket is
provided to help reduce electrically conducted spurious noise by isolating the RFID controller
from metallic surfaces.
•
When installing multiple RFID controllers that operate at the same frequency (
13.56 MHz
),
maintain a minimum distance of
20cm (8 inches)
between adjacent RF devices.
