Impact of secondary fields

Secondary fields in the range from 0 mm to 30 % of the limit distance (S
They should only be used during configuration in exceptional cases, however, since the
read/write distances are very limited. Exact details of the secondary field geometry cannot be
given, since these values depend heavily on the operating distance and the application.
When working, it must be taken into account that at the changeover from the secondary field
to the main field, the presence of the transponder can be lost temporarily. It is therefore
advisable to select a distance > 30 % of S
