6.8.3 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
Achieving optimum wave propagation
To achieve optimum wave propagation, the antenna should not be surrounded by conducting
objects. The area between antenna and transponder should also allow wave propagation
without interference.
Antenna holders
The Siemens antenna holders allow for fine adjustment of the antenna field by setting the
solid angle.
