Setup and mounting
4.1
RFU62x configuration device
Only the RFU62x RFID interrogator is used as a device to configure the access control
system.
The device can be placed on an even surface, e.g., on a table.
It does not require mounting.
4.2
RFID interrogators at the access points
Type RFU62x and RFU63x RFID interrogators can be mounted at the access points.
Use the brackets available as accessories for the mounting process.
4.2.1
Notes on mounting the RFID interrogators
The mounting procedure and position depend on the antenna field of the RFID interrogator
and the tags used.
Mounting position
•
The RFID radio field must point in the direction of the tag.
•
Ideally, you should mount the RFID interrogator on the side where the tags are
identified.
•
Alternatively, the RFID interrogator can be mounted above the entry lane of a gate.
The RFID interrogator must be mounted at an angle so that it points to the center of
the reading positions that the object passes.
Unobstructed view of the tag
•
Ensure that there is an unobstructed view from the RFID interrogator to the tag.
No objects (including persons) must be positioned between the RFID interrogator
and the tag during the read process.
This would attenuate and reflect the generated UHF field and thereby reduce the
scanning range and processing speed of the RFID interrogator.
