9.3 ID-Tags
The front side of a Tag is blank while the backside carries a type label. The front side of the ID-
Tags must be oriented towards the front side of the Reader. To get the maximum communication
range the front surface of the Tag should be in parallel with the front side of the Reader. If the
Tag is miss-aligned relative to the front side of the Reader, the communication range is reduced.
Refer to the actual product datasheets for details.
Due to TagMaster’s circular polarisation the rotational orientation of the Tag relative the Reader
is uncritical. The Tags can be mounted on any flat surface. If it is to be expected that the
mounting surface material, when warmed up, can expand in a different way than the Tag, the
Tag must be mounted in such a way that the material expansion does not damage the Tag.
When screwing the Tags directly on to a surface, the screw must
not
be secured by pulling it
until it does not move anymore. Instead a threaded hole should be used and the screw should be
pulled until the Tag is just fixed. Then the screw should be secured using a washer and nut from
behind.
For the credit card shaped Tags S1251 and S1255, TagMaster AB offers holders for use in
vehicle windows or for personal carrying. (WinFix S1951 and Cardkeep S1953). For permanent
mounting of the Tag in a vehicle window the CardTape S1954 is recommended.
