MOUNTING THE SUPAGATE
CAUTION:
DO NOT mount the Controller on or close to a metal surface.
CAUTION:
Mount the SupaGate in a suitable indoor location, or protected
outdoor location. Mounting the SupaGate in a location unprotected
against rain will damage the SupaGate Controller.
CAUTION:
Make certain that you mount the Controller on a vibration-free
surface.
NOTE:
If you intend mounting the SupaGate on a damp wall, use the supplied
standoffs to position the SupaGate away from the wall.
NOTE:
Test the SupaGate, in the proposed installation location before mounting in
position, ensuring the read range meets your needs.
For best performance, position the Controller for clear line-of-sight in the direction of the
movement. The antenna should be in the vertical plane.
In Figure 3, a Tag moving along Motion 1 will be in line-of-sight of the antenna
throughout the 10 m distance from first detection to the Controller. However, a Tag
moving along Motion 02 will move out of line-of-sight of the antenna once it reaches
Point A in Figure 3.
