Precautions for installation
The
SpringCard K663 (RDR) TTL, 232, 485 Coupler
communicates with contactless cards, tags or any other
objects by the mean of RFID/NFC technology in 13.56MHz range. RFID/NFC works thanks to short distance radio
waves that propagates on a straight-line (magnetic field).
These radio waves can't travel through metal. The coupler’s operations may also be disturbed because of other
active devices in the nearby. Please respect the following rules when installing your
SpringCard K663 (RDR) TTL,
232, 485 Coupler.
The antenna shall not be installed in the vicinity of any other RFID or NFC reader, even from another
manufacturer or technology. The distance between two readers shall be at least 30cm,
The distance shall be at least 5cm between the rear of the antenna and any metallic or conductive
area located behind the antenna. The distance shall be at least 3cm between the sides of the
antenna and such an area in the nearby,
Do not place any metallic or conductive area in front of the antenna,
Keep away from any electronic equipment or communication cable that is likely to disturb the
communication at 13.56MHz,
A small coaxial cord links the antenna to the coupler's main board. Check that both sides of the cord
are plugged correctly. Make sure that the cord is mechanically tension-free and that it can not be
damaged by a sharp edge.
