RFU65x:
The procedure for mounting the device is divided into the following steps:
1.
Select a suitable mounting location for the device.
The mounting location and position depend on the following factors:
°
Identification task
°
Working range of the device (
see "Working range of the antenna (sensing
range of the reading and writing field)", page 20
°
Transponder used
°
Environmental influences
2.
Mount the device at the intended reading location and at a suitable distance from
the object with the transponder, then approximately align the device with the
object.
3.
If required, mount the read-cycle sensor for object-specific triggering.
After the electrical installation is complete and while adjusting the device parameters to
suit the application:
4.
Finely
align the device to the object and adjust it.
5.
Test for successful reading and writing in actual operation.

Space requirements

For the typical space requirements, see the:

RFU63x: Type-specific dimensional drawing for the device variant
and sensing range of the antenna(s)
the antenna (sensing range of the reading and writing field)", page 20
.

and

(sensing range of the reading and writing field)", page 20
The device and antennas do not require any physical or visual contact with the
transponders. They do, however, need to be aligned with the reading space.
Environmental influences
■
Comply with technical data, such as the permitted ambient conditions for opera‐
tion (e.g. approved region, ambient temperature range, ground potential),
■
To prevent condensation, avoid exposing the device and external antennas to rapid
changes in temperature.
■
To prevent additional external heating of the device, protect the device against
direct sunlight.
■
For outdoor applications, use suitable weather protection to protect the device
from additional heating by direct sunlight.
Suitable weather hoods can be found online at:

°
■
To avoid reflection of the UHF waves and the resultant possibility of overreaches or
“holes” (destructive interferences) in the UHF field, try to ensure that there are no
metal surfaces located to the side of the device and external antennas in the
direction of the transponder.
■
To avoid damping of the UHF field due to absorption, do not allow any electrically
conductive material such as liquids (water) or persons to come between the
device/external antennas and the transponder.
