5 Function
The ID tags are operated passively without battery. The energy required for operation is provided by
the compact RFID device.
The energy is transferred via an electromagnetic wave. The receiving antenna takes up the wave and
transforms it into voltage which supplies the data carrier with energy.
The radiated power is specified in ERP (Effective Radiated Power) and in EIRP (Effective Isotropic
Radiated Power) for the devices. The respective value can be converted using the following formula:
P [dBm EIRP] = P [dBm ERP] + 2.15 [dB]

6 Installation
ATTENTION
Radiated electromagnetic field strengths
wThe device sends ultrahigh frequency electromagnetic waves. It complies with the
country-specific limit values for the public and workers.
uDisconnect the device in the vicinity of medical equipment.
6.1 Installation instructions for devices
Devices installed next to each other interfere if they are not configured correspondingly.
When mounting several RFID units adhere to the minimum distances between the systems.
Installing a unit in or on metal reduces the read and write distance.
Device performance can be affected if positioned in the immediate vicinity of powerful HF
emission sources such as welding transformers or converters.
6.2 Installation instructions for ID tags
For installation in and on metal use the ID tags provided for this purpose.
Position the ID tag in the area of the sensing face. When doing so, the angle of aperture and the
operating distance must be adhered to (→ Data sheet of the device).
Align the axes of the RFID device and the ID-TAG in the same way.
6.3 Avoiding interference
The device generates a modulated electromagnetic field with a frequency of 13.56 MHz.
Interference in data communication is avoided if there are no other RFID UHF devices in the vicinity. If
there are other RFID UHF devices in the vicinity:
uThe mounting distances between the devices should be as large as possible.
uUse the RSSI filter.
uUse the devices in alternating operation.
uSwitch the HF field of the device on/off.
The UHF field is attenuated if there are people or objects (cables, metal profiles, etc.) between
the device and ID tag.
uKeep the area between the device and ID tag clear during reading or writing.
