Gallagher recommends the following when installing the SmartReader Antenna Panel:
The Antenna Panel can be mounted onto metal pipe or wood work of the animal handler but not solid steel handler walls.
The edges of the Antenna Panel contain the antenna windings. This means that when the Antenna Panel is mounted, vertical bars should be kept away from the vertical edges of the Antenna Panel and horizontal bars should be kept away from the horizontal edges of the Antenna Panel.
The position of the Antenna Panel installation depends on the type and size of the animals to be scanned and the size of Antenna Panel to be installed.
Gallagher recommends you mount the Antenna Panel temporarily while you determine the most appropriate position.
Mounting the Antenna Panel on a metal animal handler can alter the read range of the SmartReader. Gallagher recommends that the SmartReader is mounted on wood or spaced pipework.
Multiple SmartReaders can be installed in close proximity to each other, so long as they are synchronised to ensure conflicts do not occur between SmartReaders. For further details, see Installing multiple SmartReaders.
Use the defi ned mounting holes, because drilling through the Antenna Panel will damage the antenna.
1. Measure the vertical range of the Electronic ID tags on the animals to be scanned.
2. Determine the average height of the Electronic ID and mark this on the outside of the animal handler.
3. Determine what the Antenna Panel is to be mounted on, wood or pipe work, and prepare the appropriate mounting hardware from the supplied kit.
4. Using the defi ned mounting holes, mount the Antenna Panel on the outside of the animal handler so that the middle of the Antenna Panel matches the average height.
