INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
An isolation spacer available from Software House may be used to
improve the read range when mounting the reader to a metal surface.
Part number: SWH-SPACER-BLK or SWH-SPACER-LGR
To optimize reader range use the number of back plates as indicated in
Table 3. Use of Isolation Spacers is optional and not required for non-metal
mounting surfaces
Installation of two SWH-4100 and SWH-4200
readers side-by-side and back-to-back
Read range is not affected if the center-to-center distance between two
readers is greater than or equal to four (4) inches (101.6 mm). Two readers
can simultaneously read the same badge or tag if the distance between the
two readers is less than 4 inches, center-to-center. If the distance between
the two readers is less than four inches, field interference between the two
readers may result in a double-badge read.
