MEASURING READ DISTANCE
Make sure you know the tag types. For certain readers and tags, user must also be mindful of the tags orientation and the readers antenna orientation, what mounting surface the tags are designed for and how the tags are supposed to be mounted. Any departure from its intended purpose will drastically affect the readers ability to energize the tag and its read range.
When measuring the readers read range, make sure that the tag is properly oriented to the reader antenna, and for optimum performance, be sure the operators finger is not within three (3) inches of the tags antenna surface.
