Automatic tag muting
The RFID reader has a maximum read throughput of around 200 tag reads per second. This throughput is used
to monitor the status of the tags continuously. When many tags are placed close to or in the label-free zone, it
might be that the reader is 'too busy' with those tags, compared to other tags. This will impact the system
performance. If this happens, the reader will mute some tags, to have time remaining for other tags. This
feature is called . It might therefore be that some tags in the neighborhood of the systemautomatic tag muting
are muted, and will not cause an alarm when moved through the gates.
Metallic surfaces
As the RFID field is reflected by metallic surfaces, this might confuse the Dynamic Beam Steering algorithms
and influence (change or enlarge) the detection field. That is why we advise to avoid large metallic surfaces
(larger than an A3/Tabloid sheet of paper) in the neighborhood of RFID-enabled gates.
Power Inserter
When the installation location of the products is clear, the location of Power Inserters needs to be defined.
There is a maximum number of Renos units that can be connected to one Power Inserter, depending on which
technologies are used and the number of add-ons that are in use.
Technologies and add-ons in use Number of Renos units per Power Inserter
230 V 115 V
8.2 MHz RF 6 5
8.2 MHz RF and 1 or 2 Smart Deactivators per unit 5 4
RFID 6 5
8.2 MHz RF and RFID 4 3
8.2 MHz RF and RFID and 1 or 2 Smart Deactivators per unit 3 3
Upgrading to RFID
If there is any chance that the retailer wants to upgrade an 8.2 MHz RF system to RFID later on,
please take the power requirements for RFID already into account. So instead of having 6 (230 V) or
5 (110 V) units on one Power Inserter - use just 4 (230 V) or 3 (110 V) units on one Power Inserter.
