5.3 RF630R reader
One RF630R reader with two antennas and two read points
If you connect two external antennas to the device and align them in different directions, you
can read tags at two different read points. With this technique, a particular antenna must be
switched off application-dependently to be able to establish which tags have been read from
which antenna. Note the minimum distances between the antennas for the antenna
configuration (see section Specified minimum and maximum spacing of antennas (Page 49).
One RF630R reader with two antennas and one read point
If you connect two external antennas to the device and align them in the same direction
(portal configuration), you can read tags at one read point. With this method, the reader
automatically switches between the two antennas while the tags are being read. Note the
minimum distances between the antennas for the antenna configuration (see section
Specified minimum and maximum spacing of antennas (Page 49) .

Mounting/Installation

Requirement
Make sure that the wall or ceiling can hold four times the total weight of the device.
Note
Close unused connectors
If you do not use connectors on the reader, it is advisable to close the unused connectors
with protective caps. You can order the protective cap set using the MLFB specified in the
section "Ordering data".
Emitted radiation
The transmitter complies with the requirements of Health Canada and the FCC limit values
for subjecting persons to HF radiation, provided that a minimum spacing of 26 cm exists
between antenna and person. When the antennas are installed, you must therefore ensure
that a minimum spacing of 26 cm is maintained between personnel and antennas.
