OBID i-scan® Installation ID ISC.ANT1700/740-A /-BFEIG ELECTRONIC GmbH Page 39 of 74 M91201-5e-ID-B.doc5.4.3 Testing the performanceFor testing the performance you have to switch the reader to one of the Automatic Modes.See 5.6Activating the Automatic Mode.A read transponder will be displayed by a blue LED on the reader or by the LED light of theantenna. See also 5.5.1Reader Setting for Indicator.In this test the capture area of the gate antenna described in 5.1 Project Notes is checked. Forother tags or other configurations the indicated ranges and read areas may differ accordingly.Fig. 22: Performance Test of the gate antennaThe test begins by checking the read range outside the gate (see Fig. points and ), assumingthe configuration and locality permit it. If the tag is oriented parallel to the antenna towards theoutside, a read range of 65 to 75 cm should be achieved.The three tag orientations are checked inside the gate. This corresponds to the lines andorientations . Now slowly move the tag in the vertical and parallel direction with respect tothe antenna along the line from one side to the other. The tag should always be read.Then repeat this along the line in the vertical tag direction transverse to the antenna and on theline in the horizontal tag orientation. Here again the tag should always be read.The tag should be read within the gate when moving horizontally through the gate in allthree read orientations.If one or more „holes“ are detected, check the noise values on the Reader (see 5.4.1 Checking theNoise Level) .
