Antenna/read point configurations

You can connect up to four external antennas to the RF650R reader. The standard setting is
that an antenna is connected when the reader is started. When connecting multiple
antennas, note the information in the section "Specified minimum and maximum spacing of
antennas (Page 46)".
With the WBM, you can set up various different configurations of antennas and/or reading
points as required. Based on the number of data sources and subsequent assignment of the
antennas, many tasks can be accomplished.
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.
