    60-70 degrees. The radiation pattern is an oval-shaped beam, which should be aimed toward where the transponders will pass. 3.4 GENERAL WIRING REQUIREMENTS All the MPR reader wiring should be continuously shielded. AWID recommends using #24 AWG up to #22 AWG, longer distances and higher current consumption on the AWID PROPRIETARY...
