This antenna is optimized for use with the TAGSYS L-L100 Library reader for multiple check in/out operations. This antenna is delivered with a light grey stratified cover or coverless for integration into a dedicated package (OEM product). In this case, a non-metallic material must be used for this packaging. Due to its specific design, the Library Stack Antenna L-SA3 can be safely used in proximity with other TAGSYS RFID products. It will work also, if properly installed, in metallic-type environments (see Section 4, "Installation" for more details). In this case, performance may be reduced. The antenna is provided with rubber base pads for installation in a standard desktop configuration. Although this antenna has been specifically designed for library applications, it can also be used for any application requiring a desktop station which has a good immunity to its environment. The antenna has been factory calibrated to an impedance of 50 Ω which offers optimal performance when the antenna is installed on the surface of the desk or table. It may be necessary to retune the antenna once installed if the environment is highly metallic or if the antenna is installed underneath the table or desk. For more information about tuning antennas, refer to Section 6.2, "Antenna Tuning". Optimal performance is achieved when the smart labels to be read are placed parallel to the antenna surface and centered on the antenna surface.
