ANT-TAG Mounting/Installation

ANT-TAG Tags can be mounted VHB double-sided tape is used (

on a variety of non-metallic items. Where permanent fixing is required, L-TA400).

ANT-TAG Antenna Orientation

For optimal RF reception, the tags should be mounted in the same orientation as the antenna used on the reader. The system will still function if the orientations do no match however, the range will be decreased. It is best to mount all tags in the same orientation no matter if it matches the orientation of the antenna. The tag’s vertical orientation is with the antenna of the tag facing up or down. The tag’s horizontal orientation is with the antenna to the either side. FIG. 5 provides an Orientation Diagram for the ANT-RDR, and ANT-TAG:
