ATR60LF Installation and Service Notes

These instructions come from the manufacturer-issued ATR60LF reader manual and apply to the associated reader-and-antenna system.

Connect the antenna to the reader's antenna port and tune the antenna after installation.
Maintain approximately 10 mm minimum distance between the antenna and transponder; extremely close placement can detune the transponder.
Keep the antenna away from strong metallic surroundings and nearby electrical equipment that can reduce read/write range.
Do not allow the antenna-connector housing to contact other objects such as a mounting plate.
For tag errors, verify the antenna connection, orientation, tuning, surrounding interference sources, and proximity to metal.
