When installing two readers back-to-back on a wall that will separate
the two readers by four inches (101.60 mm) or less, a metal plate (for
example: Reader isolation plate, metal wall) must be placed between
the readers. To obtain the maximum read range, mount each GE
Model 24x Smart Card Reader onto one or more Isolation Spacers.
Note: Two readers can simultaneously read the same badge or tag if the
distance between the two readers is less than four inches (101.60 mm),
back-to-back.
