Operation
5 Operation
L-SA3 antennas can be set-up in several different ways. The antenna configuration and the choice
of its components depend on the individual library.
The L-SA3 antenna operates best when connected to the TAGSYS L-L100 Reader for library
applications. The stations have been designed to carry on multiple items loan and return
operations. According to tags types used, performances are shown below with their best practices.
•
Each different item must be properly tagged and initialized following TAGSYS Tagging
recommendations. Please refer to the
Tagging Guide
and
TAGSYS ISO Library Memory
Mapping Software Guide
to do so.
•
Stacks of books or VHS must be placed in the middle of the antenna. Stacks must be in
compliance with each chips features and antenna configuration.
•
Any items less than 10 mm thick (video games, magazines, thin books…) must not be
stacked and should be spread out over the antenna.
•
CD’s, DVD’s are processed one at a time.
A stack of books should not be placed on CD’s, as CD metallic layer could mask tags placed
above.
CAUTION
: 1.5 w is the reader optimal power to ensure the performances described below. Be
