Installation of EPC Reader
•
When your readers is installed on the side of a lane, transponder must be placed on the side of
the windshield closest to the reader, either upper or lower corners.
•
To minimize the horizontal distance between your reader and vehicle tags as much as possible,
install the reader as close as possible to the lane’s edge. This is particularly important for sites
with EPC Windshield Labels in horizontal positions (see Emission Patterns, above).
•
You can attempt installing Idesco EPC Windshield Labels vertically, if an acceptable reading
distance or reliability is not achieved with the label in horizontal position.
•
When the EPC Windshield Label is vertical, windshield declination must be considered during
installation. Consider siting your reader slightly above the tag, since the amplitude of a tag’s reply
will be most powerful perpendicular to its own axis.
•
Note, however, that in vertical positions, EPC Windshield Labels will also radiate strongly sideways,
to be potentially detected by a reader in an adjacent lane. Correspondingly, strong sideway
replying tags (e.g. 3D Frog Tag) are
not recommended
for sites with adjacent lanes.
