Planning operation

5.5.2.1

Antenna/read point configurations

You can connect up to four external antennas to the RF650R reader. The standard setting is
that four antennas are connected when the reader is started. When connecting multiple
antennas, note the information in the section "Specified minimum and maximum spacing of
antennas (Page 49)".
With the graphical user interface of the integrated Web server, you can set up various
different configurations of antennas and/or reading points as required. It is possible to find
solutions to many different tasks through the number of data sources and subsequent
assignment of the antennas.
Examples of possible antenna reading point configurations
● Four data sources each with one antenna for four different reading points.
● Two data sources each with two antennas for small portals.
● One data source with 4 antennas for large portals.
You will find further information in the online Help for the products.

Installation/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.
