Distances to be observed and offset
The operating principle of the BIC system is based on
electromagnetic fields. These fields can be attenuated by
metallic objects as well as interfere with other fields (e.g.
from other BIC systems). In order to ensure trouble-free
operation of the BIC system, it is essential that the
following specifications are observed during installation.
Minimum distances to avoid mutual interference
A = > 70 mm

Minimum distances for installation in metal

Typical transmittable power with respect to the
transmission distance A without offset of the BIC
system
The value ranges of the derating curves are to be
interpreted as typical values (without angular
offset).
