Impact of metal on the transmission window

In general, the following points should be considered when mounting RFID components:
● Direct mounting on metal is allowed only in the case of specially approved transponders.
● Flush-mounting of the components in metal reduces the field data; a test is recommended
in critical applications.
● When working inside the transmission window, it should be ensured that no metal rail (or
similar part) intersects the transmission field.
The metal rail would affect the field data.
The impact of metal on the field data (S
values in the table describe the reduction of the field data in % with reference to non-metal
(100% means no impact).
