7 Do you have a problem identifying an animal? 7.1 The reading distance is too short The maximum reading distance is obtained with the transponder (tag) perpendicular to the antenna and aimed at the center of the antenna coil. If the tag is implanted into an animal its orientation may not be optimal and therefore the reading distance may be reduced.
