3.2Installation Environment
Magellan’s Readers are designed to operate in indoor environments where
temperature and humidity are controlled unless other conditions are
specified for customised Readers.
For standard Readers the temperature range is from +10
o
C to +45
o
C. The
humidity range is from 10% to 80% (non-condensing humidity).
Install the Readers within the temperature and humidity ranges according to
the product specification.
The environment must not contain corrosive, flammable or explosive agents
and conductive dust or be subject to rapid changes in temperature, direct
vibration or shock.
!
WARNING
Do not operate this Reader in an environment
which contains flammable or explosives gases or
fumes.
Magellan’s RFID reader-writers communicate with data carriers (RFID inlets,
labels and tags) using the 13.56 MHz High Frequency (HF) band. Some
industrial machines and electronic devices can generate unwanted noise
which may degrade communication. Make sure that other equipment is
properly installed, grounded and are at a reasonable distance from the
Reader and/or Reader antennas.
Wireless communication can be degraded by high-voltage and high-current
lines and other sources of strong electric and magnetic fields. Installation in
such locations should be avoided.
In order to avoid electric shock do not remove the Reader
cover or attempt to repair. Magellan’s reader-writers are to
be maintained by authorised, qualified and service-trained
personnel only.
!
Removal of the Reader cover by unauthorised personnel will
void the product warranty.
