  • Page 22: Selecting The Frequencies

    AT-4 7 SELECTING THE FREQUENCIES The AT-4 reader operates in the frequency band of 2.45GHz. When two or more readers are within a 15 m radius, they should be set to different operating frequencies. The selected frequency must observe the local radio regulations.
  • Page 23: Reading Range (Sensitivity)

    8 READING RANGE (SENSITIVITY) 8.1 PRINCIPLE The reading range of AT-4 can be controlled by the built-in sensitivity function. When the power of the received signal is below the sensitivity level, no identification is possible. The power of the received signal becomes higher when the transponder comes close to the reader.
