M6e
*For circularly polarized antennas, the maximum linear gain is the maximum gain as
measured with a calibrated linear dipole antenna, facing the C.P. antenna at any
rotational angle. The published circular polarized gain can be as much as 3 dB higher
than the maximum linear gain.
ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) Considerations
W A R N I N G !
The M6e and Micro antenna ports may be susceptible to damage from
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Equipment failure can result if the antenna or
communication ports are subjected to ESD. Standard ESD precautions should
be taken during installation to avoid static discharge when handling or making
connections to the reader antenna or communication ports. Environmental
analysis should also be performed to ensure static is not building up on and
around the antennas, possibly causing discharges during operation. See the User
Guides for the modules for additional information on protecting readers from
ESD.
