Function

5.1 Operating principle

The ID tags are operated passively, i.e. without a battery. The energy required for operation is supplied by the RFID compact unit.
The physical principle of energy transfer is based on inductive coupling. The integrated antenna coil in the RFID compact unit generates a magnetic field
that partly penetrates the antenna coil of the ID tag. A voltage is generated by induction that supplies the data carrier with energy.

Installation

6.1 General installation instructions

When mounting several RFID compact units adhere to the minimum distances between the systems.
Installing an RFID compact unit in or on metal reduces the read and write distance.
The immediate vicinity of powerful HF emission sources such as welding transformers or converters can affect the operation of the RFID compact units.
Available accessories: www.ifm.com

6.2 Notes on ID tag mounting

Installation of the ID tags in and on metal reduces the read and write distances.
For positioning the ID tags the RFID compact units are marked with an antenna symbol on the active face. It designates the middle of the integrated antenna coil and has to correspond with the middle of the ID tag.
The orientation of the RFID compact unit axis must correspond with the axis of the ID tag coil.

6.3 Avoiding interference
The device generates a modulated electrical field with a frequency of 13.56 MHz. To avoid interference of the data communication no other devices generating interference emission in this frequency band must be operated in its vicinity. Such devices are for example frequency converters and switched- mode power supplies.
