Exciter Features
RFID Detection of STANLEY Healthcare Tags
The Exciter triggers Tags to transmit as they pass through a defined area, within
a range of up to 6.5 meters (21.3 feet)*. This is typically enough to cover door or
gate areas. The Exciter also supports a chained configuration, thus enabling an
increased RFID detection range for larger areas.
*In an outdoor environment, the Exciter’s actual LF coverage range is a maximum of
3meters (9.8feet), even if it is set to the maximum of 6.5m in the Engine.
*When used indoors, the Exciter’s LF coverage range can reach up to 6.5meters.
Note
The Exciter’s effective range may be less than the configured range due to
specific site or environmental conditions. The effective range must be taken
into consideration when planning and designing the deployment.

Tag Behavior Modification
Exciters can be programmed to wirelessly activate and deactivate Tags based on
pre-configured conditions. Tag battery life can be extended by switching them
off when they leave a defined tracking area through a gate or doorway. The
Exciter can also be configured to change the Tag transmission rate temporarily
or indefinitely to accommodate different usage patterns in different
environments.
