Appendix A : FAQs A1: Transponder is not being detected A few transponders are not being detected. If this is the case, the problem is most likely related to the individual transponder or the positioning of the transponder. - Check the mounting position of the transponder, for more information check your transponder manual. None of the transponders are being detected. If this is the case, the problem is most likely related to the detection loop, decoder, timing computer or cabling.

A3: Signal strength What if the received signal strength is below -65 dBm? - If the signal strength is lower than -65 dBm, please check the position of the transponder. - If the signal strength is fluctuating heavily in combination with high noise levels, check the quality of the loop installation and coaxial cables.
