Overview

The transponder and reader are inductive devices. Any type of metal, in particular iron and
ferromagnetic materials, in the vicinity of these devices will affect their operation. Some
points need to be considered during planning and installation if the values described in the
"Field data" section are to retain their validity:
• Minimum distance between two readers
• Minimum distance between two adjacent data memories
• Metal-free area for flush-mounting of readers and transponders in metal
• Mounting of several readers on metal frames or racks
The following sections describe the impact on the operation of the identification system when
mounted in the vicinity of metal.
