Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) Specification
IEC-61000-4-2 and MIL-883 3015.7 discharges direct to operational antenna port
tolerates max 2KV pulse.
Note
Survival level varies with antenna return loss and antenna characteristics.
See
ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) Considerations for methods to increase ESD
tolerances.
W A R N I N G !
The 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 and operation to avoid
static discharge when handling or making connections to the Micro
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.
