RF Tag Installation Precautions
V680-D1KP54T
Effect of Metal behind RF Tags
The communications range will decrease if there is metal at the back of the V680-D1KP54T RF Tag.
The V700-A80 Attachment is 8 mm thick. If the RF Tag is mounted on metallic material, use a non-
metallic spacer (e.g., plastic or resin). The following graphs show the relationship between the distance
from the RF Tag to the metallic surface and the communications range.
The V700-A80 Attachment is 8 mm thick.
