Range when mounted on non-metallic carrier materials

The transponder is generally designed for mounting on metallic objects which provide the
conditions for the maximum reading ranges

Mounting in metal

It is possible to mount the transponder in metal. If there is not enough clearance to the
surrounding metal, this reduces the reading range.
Clearance (all-round)
a = 5 mm
a = 10 mm
The read range information applies when the transponder is mounted on a metallic carrier with a
