3.2. Detection Field Set Up
The primary considerations here are the field shape and strength. The detection
field has to fill the area in front of the door all the way to the floor so that no tag
can reach the door without being detected.
To set up a field, See System Settings “51” Test Mode (pg.14)
Start by placing the tag at the range you want for the field at the height a tag is
usually going to be found. The tag needs to be detected at least 3’-12’ from the
door. The tag should be placed on a non-metallic surface for testing. You might
want to do a preliminary field setup by holding the controller at the approximate
location you want to install it but be aware that your body could be affecting the
field. The controller should be temporarily placed and the field adjusted for range
using this stationary tag. Since the Tag will be read easier in some orientations
with respect to the controller, it is also necessary to test with the Tag in a variety
of positions.
With the controller and tag in position use the 3 position slide switch on the
back of the controller to set up your field strength.
Holding the tag, slowly pass through all the areas that you need the field to
cover. The device should continue to beep at a steady rate. An uneven rate indi-
cates that the controller is not able to read the tag successfully every time.
After setting up the Detection Field, return back to System Settings “52”
