Installation information
The cables on the antennas and the antenna splitter are 3.3 m or 10.5 m long. The
write/read device must be installed in the vicinity of the antennas. If there are greater
distances between the write/read device and the antennas, the antenna cable can be
increased by 7.2 m with the extension (6GT2691-0DH72). This results in shorter ranges.
Metal-free space
To guarantee perfect functioning of the individual installation versions, all larger metal parts
in the vicinity of the antennas must be removed.
