Series RFID Concierge Installation Guide - PK3673_T_07_16
Mounting Preparation
For optimum reading performance the SR1 (surface mount), SR2 (with cover plate and box) and SR3 configurations
are recommended. The readers in these configurations are specifically tuned to their configured environment.
However, the SR2/SR3 readers can be integrated into custom applications. Successfully integrating the readers into
a custom application is the sole responsibility of the integrator.
*Important*
The environment surrounding the reader plays a large roll in reader performance. Elements such as vicinity of other
RF devices/electronics, presence of metal and or water, thickness and material of cover plate can drastically impact
reader performance.
The following rules are designed to assist integrators in successfully installing the stand alone versions of the SR
reader.
The reader face must not be obstructed by any metal material.
The reader face must stand 4mm proud of any metal surrounding the reader.
See SR2 with faceplate as example.
The reader must reside a minimum of 30cm away from any other RFID device.
The presentation point of the end users card to the face of the SR reader must not exceed 6mm.
If using a plastic cover plate ensure it allows (if required) the reader LEDs to pass through. In these applications it
is recommended to use the SR3 for greater LED transmission.
Important Note
If integrating the reader into a custom environment, it is highly recommended to test any solution thoroughly before
fully implementing. Testing in the custom environment should include the use of all proposed customer credentials
and possible environmental effects. Kaba strongly recommends the use of authentic NXP Mifare credentials with
copper/aluminum wire antennas. The use of alternative credentials may significantly impact the reader performance
and reliability.
