10 GE Contactless Medium Read-Range Reader Model 260
FIGURE 7: Parking Entrance Exit and Metal Sign Applications
Signs and other metal objects, including hidden wiring may interfere
with the reader’s read field.
Metal signs are common items in both indoor and outdoor installations.
The signs may be free standing (see Figure 3, “GE Model 260 Reader
Environmental Considerations,” on page 5) or fixed in position (see
Figure 7, “Parking Entrance Exit and Metal Sign Applications,” on
page 10.)
To ensure optimal read-range performance, ensure all metal signs and
other conductive objects are placed at a distance that is at least:
• 19.68 inches (500 mm) from the front of the reader.
• 5.91 inches (150 mm) from the back of the reader.
• 3.94 inches (100 mm) from the side of the reader.
