Mounting the transponder on or in metal is only possible with the appropriate spacer or if there is
adequate clearance to the metal.
Values of > 100 % related to non metal surroundings can occur if transponders were developed
specifically for mounting in/on metallic surroundings.
The RF290R reader is operated with the external antennas ANT D5, D6 and D10. The
antennas can be flush-mounted in metal. Please allow for a possible reduction in the field
data values.
