3 Preparing the installation
When preparing an installation with OVR-line products, there are a few things that should be taken into
account:
Placement in relation to the environment (walls and other objects)
Orientation of the product
If the placement of the products is decided, the next step is to evaluate cabling and placement of Power
Inserters.
Defining the system
When a store requires readers to be placed at several locations, there needs to be a decision on how to
combine these readers into one or multiple systems. The following needs to be taken into account:
A different role is a different system. It is not possible to combine readers for Electronic Article
Surveillance (EAS) with readers for stock room to sales floor in one system. Both roles need different
systems with their own Power Inserter and customer network connection.
Within the EAS role, create as large systems as possible. To minimize interference between readers, the
Renos platform has a built-in synchronization mechanism for RFID technology. For this synchronisation
mechanism to work, the readers need to be connected in one system.
However, the maximum cable length requirements needs to be satisfied. If it is not possible to put all
the reader within a role in one system due to the maximum cable length requirements, you can split the
readers into two or more systems.
Stock room to sales floor and goods receiving
For the stock room to sales floor and goods receiving roles: when there is a different door or
entrance, build a separate system.
Detection distance, aisle width and label-free zone
The first decision to be made is how many readers you need, and where to place them. This depends on the
aisle width and detection height of the system. There is no fixed answer to this question, it depends on many
factors, like customer expectation, quality of the tags, the environment, etc.
The recommendations below are based on the Nedap RFID hard tag (for RFID).
We recommend to mount the reader between 2.5 m and 3.5 m (8.2 ft. to 11.5 ft.) height.
