Mounting
5.1
Overview of mounting procedure
The procedure for mounting the device is divided into the following steps:
1.
Select a suitable mounting location for the device.
The mounting location and position depend on the following factors:
°
Identification task
°
Working range of the device (
see "Working range of the antenna", page 18
°
Transponder used
°
Environmental influences
2.
Mount the device at the intended point of use and temporarily align the device to
the object to the transponder. Make sure that there is a suitable distance to the
object in reference to the working range of the device.
3.
If required, mount the trigger sensor for object-specific triggering.
After the electrical installation is complete and while adjusting the device parameters to
suit the application:
4.
Finely
align the device to the object and adjust it.
5.
Test for successful reading and writing of the device in operational use of the
application.

Mounting requirements
Space requirements
■
For the typical space requirements, see the:
°
Dimensional drawing of the device
as well as
shape and extension of the HF field,
see "Working range of the antenna",
.
°
To prevent mutual interference of adjacent devices, observe the recom‐
mended minimum distances between devices used simultaneously,
The device does not require any physical or visual contact with the transponders. The
device does, however, need to be aligned with the reading space.
Environmental influences
■
Comply with technical data, such as the permitted ambient conditions for oper‐
ation (e.g. ambient temperature range, ground potential),
.
■
To prevent condensation, avoid exposing the device to rapid changes in tempera‐
ture.
■
To prevent additional external heating of the device, protect the device against
direct and indirect sunlight.
■
Avoid installation near possible high-frequency sources of interference such as
switched-mode power supplies, frequency inverters, converters or welding trans‐
formers.
