comply with FCC regulations. DO NOT increase the power beyond this level.
The maximum RF power is determined from antenna gain and antenna cable loss using the
formula:
formula:
Pmax = 36 dBm - Antenna Gain + Cable Loss
For example, if the antenna has a maximum gain of 6 dBi, and the cable has a minimum loss of 0.6
dB, the maximum RF power that may be set is (36- 6 + 0.6) = 30.6 dBm.
dB, the maximum RF power that may be set is (36- 6 + 0.6) = 30.6 dBm.
The Reader RF Power is set through the Settings Page. See the
on page 13. Note that
in no case may the power be set higher than 32.5 dBm.
