Hello.
For years i'm using a lot of RI-RFM-007B-30 readers (in set with RI-CTL-MB6B-30). Some of them lost they range after one or two years of usage. Range change from 0,9-1m to 30-40cm. Of course in this same condition and place. After replacing reader with new one range returns to about 1 meter.
What can cause this failure? How can i check this readers what is wrong, and maybe fix it? I'm awaiting for answers if you already know problems like this.
Some tech specs:
power supply: 24VDC
working mode: gate mode, without sync, work about 2h/24h (with period 5min gate mode, 1min idle mode)
antenna: about 120x75cm size, L ~ 28uH, R ~ 20mOhm, Q ~ 100
Thank You,
Jan Wustrau
