Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this tag work when mounted on metal?
Yes. The supplied product data states it is built to work on metallic surfaces and lists metal as the applicable surface material. - What affects the read range in real installations?
Read range depends on reader power, antenna type, mounting method, and the surrounding environment. The tag is specified with a read range up to 13 metres. - Is this tag suitable for outdoor or wet environments?
Yes. It is rated to IP68 for dust and water ingress protection.
Additional Information
- Metal-mount tags are commonly selected where standard UHF labels detune or lose range when applied to metal equipment.
- Plan tag placement to avoid being shielded by surrounding metal parts, which can reduce read reliability in dense asset layouts.
- The listed frequency band is 902-928 megahertz, which is commonly used in Federal Communications Commission regulated regions.
