6.5.3 Installation
Mounting system
A standardized VESA 100 mounting system is provided to mount the antenna. The mounting
system consists of four fixing holes for M4 screws at intervals of 100 mm. The antenna is
suitable for mounting on metallic and non-metallic surfaces.
Note
A
Achieving optimum wave propagation
T
o achieve optimum wave propagation, the antenna should not be surrounded by conducti
bjects. The area between antenna and transponder should also allow wave propagation
ithout interference.
The Siemens antenna holders allow for fine adjustment of the antenna field by setting the
solid angle.
