8 GE Contactless Smart Card Reader Model 24x
Installation Considerations
1. Installation of the GE Model 24x Reader on metal.
Read-range reduction can be improved by adding Isolation Spacers
(approximately 25% per plate).
2. Installation of two Model 24x Smart Card Readers side-by-side.
Read range is not affected if the center-to-center distance between
two readers is equal to or greater than four inches (101.60 mm). If the
distancebetweenthetworeadersislessthanfourinches(101.60
mm), field interference between the two readers may result in a
double-badge read field. In that case, add a metal back-to-back
mounting plate. This can be improved by adding Isolation Spacers.
Note: Two readers can simultaneously read the same badge or tag if the
distance between the two readers is less than 12 inches (304.8 mm), center-
to-center.
