Connecting the antenna

The SIMATIC RF680A antenna must be connected to the reader using an antenna cable.

Preassembled standard cables in lengths of 1 m, 3 m, 5 m, 10 m, 15 m, 20 m and 40 m are

available to connect the antenna.

Connecting the antenna

Do not connect the adaptive antenna RF680A during operation. Only connect the antenna

to a reader that has been turned off and then restart the reader.

The range of the antenna is limited by the cable loss. The maximum range can be achieved

with the cable 6GT2815-0BH10 (length 1 m), since this cable has the lowest cable loss.

Use of Siemens antenna cables

To ensure optimum functioning of the antenna, it is recommended that a Siemens antenna

cable be used in accordance with the list of accessories.
