External antenna

Preassembled standard cables in lengths of 3 m, 5 m, 15 m and 20 m are available to
connect the antenna.
The read range is limited by the cable loss. The maximum range can be achieved with the
cable 6GT2815-0BH30 (length 3 m), since this has the lowest cable loss.
Examples of possible antenna reading point configurations
● A data source with an external antenna for a reading point.
● As an alternative, a data source with an internal antenna for a reading point.

Installing / mounting

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.
Mounting/installing the device
You can mount the reader in two different ways:
● Via a standardized VESA 100 mounting system using the Antenna Mounting Kit (see
section Mounting with antenna mounting kit (Page 331)). Tighten the M4 screws on the
rear of the reader using a maximum torque of ≤ 1.3 Nm.
● Directly onto a flat surface.
