7 Reading Transponders
RFID transponders can be read when they are in range of the antenna. The antenna is
located under the back cover of the 1134 LF RFID reader. The range at which a transponder
can be read depends on the transponder type and size. Larger transponders can be read
further away from the antenna. In many cases it will be possible to read transponders in front
and to the side of the 1134 LF RFID reader. For best performance the transponder must be
orientated correctly with the antenna. For disk and card shaped transponders this means that
the transponder should be parallel to the back cover. For rod style transponders the
transponder should have its long axis at right angles to the back cover. The photographs in
Figure 4 show examples of optimum transponder orientation:
