5.1 Mounting Options
The NFC Reader design allows various mounting options, as it may protrude the front
panel, be flush with the front panel, or be mounted internally (hidden behind the front
panel). The mounting options are illustrated in the following figure.
Figure 6 – Mounting options
The NFC Reader may be mounted with full protrusion using the supplied gasket and
standard studs or bolts. Other mounting options may require additional mounting brackets
etc.
Please note that the recommended mounting is very much depending on the front panel
material, as the NFC communication may be impacted by surrounding magnetic material.
The internal NFC Reader antenna plane (2-3 mm from the visible front) should be app. 10
mm from a front panel made of magnetic material, or from magnetic material located
immediately behind the front panel, in order to achieve robust NFC communication.
In case the front panel is made of magnetic material, or there’s magnetic material
immediately behind the front panel, it is recommended to mount the NFC Reader with full
protrusion.
In case the front panel is made of non-magnetic material, and there’s no magnetic material
surrounding the NFC Reader immediately behind the front panel, the NFC reader may be
mounted protruding

Partly protruding is also possible, using custom mounting parts.
