GE Contactless Medium Read-Range Reader Model 260 7
Installation on Metal Surface
Mounting the GE Reader directly on a metal (or other electrical
conducting surface) will reduce read range to approximately 9.45 inches
(240 mm). For maximum read-range, ensure the metal wall installation
switch is set to the “< 0.75 inch” position.
Another potential source of interference is mounting two or more readers
in close proximity as shown in Figure 4.
FIGURE 4: Pole-Mounted Readers
The following problems may occur when mounting multiple GE Model
260 readers in close proximity:
• The signal energy from one reader may interfere with the read range
of the other.
• Overlapping read fields can cause a single credential to be read
simultaneously by two or more readers.
