Antenna/read point configurations

You can connect up to four external antennas to the RF670R reader. The standard setting is
that four antennas are connected when the reader is started.
With RF-MANAGER Basic 2010 or RF-MANAGER 2008 with SP 3 and higher 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.

WARNING
Ensure that the wall or ceiling can hold four times the total weight of the device.
CAUTION
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.
