Precautions for installation

The SpringCard TwistyWriter-IP PC/SC Coupler communicates with contactless cards, tags or any other objects
by the mean of RFID/NFC technology in 13.56MHz range. RFID/NFC works thanks to short distance radio waves
that propagates on a straight-line (magnetic field).
These radio waves can't travel through metal. The coupler's operations may also be disturbed because of other
active devices in the nearby. Please respect the following rules when installing your SpringCard TwistyWriter-IP
PC/SC Coupler.
The antenna shall not be installed in the vicinity of any other RFID or NFC reader, even from another

manufacturer or technology. The distance between two readers shall be at least 30cm,
The distance shall be at least 5cm between the rear of the antenna and any metallic or conductive

area located behind the antenna. The distance shall be at least 3cm between the sides of the an-
tenna and such an area in the nearby,
Do not place any metallic or conductive area in front of the antenna,

Keep away from any electronic equipment that is likely to disturb the communication at 13.56MHz,

A small coaxial cord links the antenna to the coupler's main board. Check that both sides of the cord

are plugged correctly. Make sure that the cord is mechanically tension-free and that it can not be
damaged by a sharp edge.
Connections
Connect Antenna's RF (J1) to Main board's RF (J3) using the 15 cm 4-wire cord (supplied).
