Reader and Transponder Factors
•
A yellow LED will flash to report a successful reading event. This function can be helpful during
initial testing after installation.
•
Note:
windshield tags function properly
only
when installed on glass or plastic surfaces
–
Handheld or cardboard-mounted tags only reply reliably during testing at distances up to ~1,5 meters
–
Only hold tags by their edges – holding the tag in its middle may disturb the antenna operation.
•
Note:
numerous radio-reflective surfaces can heavily impact performance. Allow for extended
testing to identify optimal reader site in such reflective environments.
•
Note:
Reflections may also distort or skew the reliable reading area
–
Reflections can have positive or negative effects on the shape of a reading zone and its distance
–
Metal surfaces give the strongest reflection, but other materials can also cause them.
