Mounting the Antennas

The FX9500 RFID Reader supports from one to eight antennas in a variety of configurations. One and two-antenna
configurations are typical for most conveyor and container tracking. Four and eight antenna configurations are
used for portals and loading dock doorways.
Antennas (not provided) must be installed on a solid surface or frame to prevent damage or later misalignment. It
is highly recommended that the antenna mounting be adjustable in order to obtain the best performance from the
system.
