Range and positioning accuracy are affected by
larger metal parts lying on the floor (sheets),
reinforcements placed close to the transponder
induction loops, such as those formed by reinforcement steel mats.
Single metal rods have only a minor influence and may partially violate the metal
free space.
The following have no influence on the positioning accuracy:
Environmental influences such as snow, ice and water
Dirt such as oil, tar, etc.
When installing the transponders, observe the following:
Maintain a
minimum distance
of
at least 500 mm
between the transpon

ders. Only a maximum of one transponder at a time is allowed in the reception
area of the antenna.
Observe the metal-free area around the transponders. The influence on posi
-
tioning accuracy and range depends on size and range of the metal parts.
4.3 Transponder Antenna
