Alternative installation options
Using two antennas
If an increased operating area is required, two antennas may be connected to a single panel reader using a Dual Antenna Adaptor.
A dual antenna adaptor can be ordered by contacting your local Tru-Test representative.
A dual antenna adaptor must not be used with only one antenna.
A single antenna may read a tag as far as 1 m away, dependant on the installation:
