Note that the "center point" of the transponder must be in the area of the transmission window
to ensure secure data exchange. You can find additional information on this in the section
"Transmission window and read/write distance (Page 40)".
5.4.8 Metal-free area
The RF360R can be flush-mounted in metal. Allow for a possible reduction in the field data. To
