SCM3712 REFERENCE MANUAL 17
3.4.3. Recommendations
The communication between the reader and the user token is sensitive to the presence of material or
objects interfering with the magnetic field generated by the reader.
The presence of conductive materials like metal in the vicinity of the reader and the user token can
severally degrade the communication and even make it impossible. The magnetic field of the reader
generates Eddy or Foucault’s currents in the conductive materials; the field is literally absorbed by that
kind of material.
It is recommended for proper communication to avoid putting SCM3712in
close proximity of conductive materials.
The presence of multiple user tokens in the field also interferes with the communication. When several
user tokens are in the field of the reader, load of the field increases which implies that less energy is
available for each of them and that the system is detuned. For this reason, SCM Microsystems has
implemented in its driver the support for 1 slot only.
It is recommended to present only one user credential at a time in front of
SCM3712.
The communication between the reader and the user token is sensitive to the geometry of the system
{reader, user token}. Parameters like the geometry and especially the relative size, position and
orientation of the reader and user token antennas directly influence the inductive coupling and
therefore the communication.
SCM3712 was primarily designed and optimized to function with user credentials of various
technologies having the size of a credit card.
It may happen that SCM3712is not capable of communicating with extremely
large or extremely small antennas.
In order to optimize the coupling between the reader and the user token, it is
recommended to put both antennas as parallel as possible
In order to optimize transaction speed between the reader and the card it is
recommended to place the user token as close as possible to the reader. This
will increase the amount of energy supplied to the user credential which will
then be able to use its microprocessor at higher speeds
