°
Ensure, where possible, that there are no large metal surfaces located in
front of the device.
°
If this is unavoidable, do not mount the device or external antennas in the
same plane as the surface but rather at an angle of inclination of approx.
10°.

The device or external antennas are approximately aligned with the object to be
detected.
8.
Check the general suitability of the alignment for objects of different sizes and
varying positions of the transponder in actual operation.
RFU65x:
1.
Prepare the base for mounting the bracket of the device,
Recommendation: Depending on the application it may be possible to use one of
the optional SICK brackets. If necessary, perhaps also in combination with other
SICK brackets.
2.
At the intended reading location, place an object with transponder within the work‐
ing range of the device (static object only).
3.
Mount the device bracket onto the base.
4.
Tighten screws through the bracket into the blind tapped holes of the device and
slightly tighten.
5.
Orient the front side of the device towards the object.
