Installation Notes
These manufacturer instructions apply when integrating the mini antenna with a compatible reader.
- Tune the antenna after installation.
- Reading and writing performance depends on transponder distance and orientation relative to the antenna axis.
- Maintain approximately 10 mm between the transponder and antenna; very close placement can detune the transponder.
- Keep the antenna away from strong metallic surroundings if tuning fails, and avoid mechanical stress or excessive bending of the antenna cable.
